Game 40 Open Thread: May 12 2008

St. Louis Cardinals @ Milwaukee Brewers


Wainwright Bush
3-1, 2.25 0-4, 6.98

cards have only lost one series all year long --- to the giants, at home (ouch). they've won 7 series, split 4.

yadi's batting 2d today --- first time he's ever started a game in any of the top 3 positions in the order. in today's main thread somebody suggested that yadi might be the slowest #2 hitter ever; on a whim, i looked up ken reitz's page at B-R to see if he ever started a game in the 2 hole. sure enough, he did --- one time, in this july 1974 game. i reckon ol' reitzie was probably faster than yadi, though . . . . .

Let's go Cards

Win for the split, but more importantly, win for Wainwright. The offense/bullpen has really been letting him down lately. He should easily be a 5 or even 6 game winner by now with the way he’s been pitching.

Just thinking..

Missed the entire day yesterday due to some work and lots of driving, but read the game threads, wow.

But then I got to think a minute. When the season first began I thought that we would be sitting just under .500 around now and hoping the Pirates come to town so we could have a chance to not be the worst in the central (which can be like being the Ugliest Volvo. I mean, come on).

But we’re not. We’re a cluster of games above .500 and in first, if only barely. We have been getting production from a group of outfielders that frankly, was hard to see. I mean, we have the “oldest..youngest” outfield in the game, and all in all they’re providing us with some reasonable production across the board.

We have a staff that almost every media considers duct taped together. But those bullpen boys are really stepping it up as starters. Frankly, if you look at the actual money on the 25 man roster, I can’t help to be impressed.

Our pair of SS’s aren’t making me miss the older version of ‘Scrappy Doo’ all that much as they can actually field the ball. And while our third baseman has been boring as of late to say the least with the bat, his performance on the field isn’t making me miss the old 3rd baseman dramas that we’ve had the past few years.

And we’re not stuck. We have some depth in the pen and even some doses in starters should we need it. We don’t have to scrape for a pitcher this year, we may even have a few to get rid of. We have some talent building down there that’s making me pay attention to Memphis more and more.

We have some trade chips, even though they may be mediocre at best, and we’re not at our ceiling as a club at all.

So for one day at least, I don’t care about October, the ‘streak’, the missing thunder, the iffy bullpen and the headcase closer. I’m not stressed about the series, the road trip, or how on fire Pit is coming to see us tomorrow (though I’ll note how hot Houston was.. and how well we cooled them off).

I’m just going to sit back and enjoy some baseball, watch our boys play and thank goodness that we’re not the Padres

Wolf won't matter

the Cubs are outscoring their opponents in the 8th inning 476 to 12, or so it seems. Seems like every game at Wrigley, they either take the lead in the 8th inning or tack on 5 insurance runs in the 8th.

One thing that really pisses me off about this team

is that the hitters don’t seem to know who the hell they are.

Dave Bush can’t throw strikes, goes down 2-0 to Kennedy and Uppercut is hacking away. Then, TLR has Wainwright bunting? What the hell for? So Izturis can get an RBI opportunity? So Skippy can weakly groundout to an infielder?

It’s shit like that why the Cardinals strand so many baserunners. Not playing smart baseball.

does skip think he is the fastest man alive?

it seems like he always plays WAY off the line. (I know Prince is a pull-hitter, it just seemed like Skip has played that way a lot)

Awful pitchers like Bush

are just the type of guys that keep the Cardinals down.

And quite frankly, there aren’t enough innings left for the Cardinals to scratch across 6 runs.

really, luddy should have caught that

but he was lined up in the gap as well. I’m really not understanding the OF positioning the last week or so…

AK went a long, long way and just didn’t quite squeeze it. It was a much tougher play than it looked like.

+1

and to note, Kennedy may be a lot of things, but generally his defense is quite above average, lambasting him as tee ball quality based on one play is a little… absurd.
