A chance to take over the division lead by the break. The Brewers are something like 2 and 7 in their last 9. Now we have to see how bad Yadi's thumb is hurt.
 
If Holliday, Wong and OT can stay hot, I still believe Craig will find his stroke by September.
We need Shelby to find his control

Rosie seems to be heading down the same path as prior Cards closers. He's went from absolutely dominant to still getting it done but struggling. I hope he doesn't slide down to the next step. He just blew people away last year. Not so much now. Speed is down along with less pinpoint control. He's already walked more than all of last year in slightly over half as many innings. ERA is nearly 1 full point higher. Still he's tied for the lead in saves. But he has way more BBs than any of the other top closers. That isn't a good sign and it will start hurting him eventually. We need him to pick that up and be lights out in the 2nd half.

But if Rosie falters a few times I would have no problem with Neshek getting the some 9th innings. That dude HAS been lights out. 0.73 in 37 innings. 36 Ks, 4 BBs. What a great pickup he's proving to be. He could be a difference maker down the stretch.
