for putting your pride on the shelf and not diving there. Very wise move.

Out of all the pitching surprises for the Birds this early in the season, Welley surprises me the most.

Chipper for MVP

...he is on one of my fantasy teams as well

and I don’t blame them …

Due?

No pressure on you at all, get something going!

then he just can’t freak’in hit …

why is ankiel out? routine replacement or did he get hurt?

Due? to pop up?

Troy a Hug. Seriously think the dude needs to get out of his own head

He wil snap out of it

44 pitches – 17 strikes, 27 balls

Egad!

Pitch 3 to Miles is off the Gameday screen. Did he double-bounce it up there?

villone is getting ready in the pen

He left Wainer in WAY to long last start … perhaps he is really counting on the Phase 2 pitching staff to spell these guys later … which explains Welley but not Wainer …

has pitched one helluva game.

Welley still pumping 92, per Gameday

Todd Wellemeyer, 2-0, 3.24 ERA, 26 K, 9 BB? Inconceivable!

He has the lead, tony is seeing how welley handles it. Flawlessly, he pumped in the strikes and got through them bottom part of their lineup no probelm I would say it was the right call. Even if he started falling apart he had the bullpen ready to go,

I think our Win Expectancy just jumped to 115.4%

but he was great 2nite.

make it rain

a hipper version of MJs want to be starting something?

0-4 with 2 strike outs

Are they selling his T-Shirt Jersey yet? The website store has his uni number 66, his ST number.

Also, Brendan Ryan just struck out for the second time (0-4) for Springfield just now.

ended who was talking to welly? the redneck lookin dude?

It’s Villone in the 8th … not Reyes … does that mean something, I wonder … yeah … that he hasn’t worked in like forever …

IS AL CIRCLING ALBERTS JUNK!!!!

to keep our kick-arse pitching staff’s ERA down …

give ‘em the ludovico treatment.

99.9% win prob.

I love that place. Thanks to whoever linked to it first.

For Troy

followed the ball all the way to the bat.

that said, it probably wasn’t the ideal pitch to try and hit.

work thru this funk …

You got this shit

drew a bases loaded walk.

I predict he breaks out tomorrow against Josh Muecke, who’s allowed only one hit to a lefthander so far on the year.

Troy might need to get laid?

way to go troy.

Maybe that will get him going …

maybe I can get an AB in

rains it pours.

I was trying to find a current picture of him, so I did a google image search on Jason LaRue. Check out the second image on the second page of images, and then check where it links to!

Villone’s AB would’ve been his first since 8/5/2005.

now that today is kinda going good

so i’m still at work, but i checked the score, and in the words of kim jong il, “herro!” what the hell happened – did cain just not have it tonight?

anyway, certainly good to see – games like this really set up the team well for the rest of the series.

to sit in the Cardinals bullpen for one game.

way to go welly, pujols, duncan.

I love the games where I can stop analyzing and just make fun of Jason LaRue the whole time. Let’s keep this rolling!

Let’s kick some more SF arse tomorrow …

is 0-5

12-5 sounds pretty good…

No back-to-back losses yet

See that Ben Sheet had to leave his start tonight

Conor Jackson was a double away from the cycle, and he hits another triple….

If it was a close game, I wouldn’t blame him for taking the third bag, but they were blowing the team out, stop at 2nd and make history.

i was supposed to be at the game tonight, but i couldn’t so i was pretty bummed out. thats why i stayed away from the threads tonight. i’m glad the boys bats weren’t as bummed out as i was that i couldn’t be there.

especially Albert’s. man, what a bomb.

oh well. hopefully i’ll have more chances to see the boys play at home.
