where was skip on that play?

Rick Ankiel could throw out Chuck Norris. Easy.

My guess

They positioned him in the RF bleachers

thats what it looked like

if he was playing LF he couldve held it to a single

Rick Ankiel could throw out Chuck Norris. Easy.

CF again

the book is out: and ball hit to the left side that makes it to the OF is a double.

And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...

Random question

Before the game, they showed some footage of the cardinals playing SLU in Jupiter. The Cards were wearing hats with a K on them. Why did they do that?

go cards.

by thecoolalonzo on May 13, 2008 11:14 PM EDT   0 recs

it was something about a high school team

that had some tragedy strike…tornado, flood…something like that

i think the cards auctioned off the hats and proceeds went to he high school

Thanks.

We couldn’t figure it out. We were really wondering if it was for Kyle.

go cards.

I don't think the "making it interesting in the 9th" thing

is an Izzy problem. I think it’s a disease that comes with being named the Cardinals’ closer

Well, from the post-eck closers

I seem to remember it was more about “making it horrific in the 9th”

What a difference in approach

When we bring a rookie up, TLR & Dunc usually wait for a not too crucial situation to use them the first time.
Here the Pirates bring a guy up and his first MLB appearance is in a crucial situation. Talk about a tough first appearance.
