REYES

Come on, kid. I'm a believer.

In the unlikely story that is Rick Ankiel, there has never been anything false about hope.

There goes the .400 average for Pujols..

Reyes is putting them awat

He appears to be working up in the zone with his 4-seamer.

Inside, he snickers in Dave Duncan's direction.

by mojowo11 on Apr 12, 2008 7:21 PM EDT   0 recs

2 Ks!

Anthony Reyes has always been good

It's not because he's in the bullpen or anything like that. The kid can pitch, period.

Per Shannon

Pop fly down the line, landed fair, rolled to the corner.

Don't know where Ludwick was.

by liam on Apr 12, 2008 7:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

he was running to make the catch

and it ended up getting by him, but not by that much

It looked foul the whole way

and then landed right on the corner by the rf wall

I knew I was missing something

I was trolling ESPN to find out if Stephon Marbury was more "now" than Bode Miller.

That's

triple over .500... I don't think I remember the last time we had three times as many wins as losses. Definitely looking forward to seeing how well we can play against the Brewers next week.

by liam on Apr 12, 2008 7:27 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

man

this team reminds of the 04-05 juggernauts in that they never seem to be out of a game. I'm not saying they're nearly that good, but:

1) Carp still hasn't pitched yet
2) the kids are hitting
3) the kids are pitching too
4) Pujols has gotten red hot

OTOH we've been playing iffy teams so far....we blew out a lot of bad teams in 07 but got consistently clobbered by winning teams. But still.

by nota bene on Apr 12, 2008 7:30 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

So long as

we're within striking distance by the All-Star break, I'll be pleased as punch.
