PrintPittsburgh Pirates at St. Louis Cardinals, May 14, 2008 8:15 PM EDT
 |

| Maholm | Wellemeyer |
| 2-3, 4.79 | 3-1, 3.56 |
pirates try to reach .500 tonight; they haven't been at .500 this deep into a season since 2005, when they played .500 ball through game #60. they ended up at 67-95, in last place. the year before that they were at .500 through 46 games, 23-23 --- but still last in the nl central. they were tied with the cards, brewers, and cubs in the loss column at the time . . . . . went on to finish 5th that year, at 72-89.

“He’s going to hit ninth,” Piniella said. “I’m going to move the pitcher to eighth, and hit Edmonds ninth.”
Even though the whole situations burns my butt, it is nice to see Lou following Tony’s lead*

I think he's signing with the Cubs to try and shove it in our face
after the unceremonious end to his tenure here
Cardinal fan in the heart of Braves country
Track 'em Tigers - An SB Nation Blog for Auburn Tigers fans
I dont think so
Jimmy did not have a job and the cubs offered him one, it is as simple as that
Losing is a disease
I read somewhere that he said he wanted to negotiate with the Cubs first
either that or that the Cubs were the only team he wanted to negotiate with, can’t remember. It was probably on here, but I can’t remember exactly where I saw it.

The only one who liked the Cardinals so much he became a St. Louis Cardinals football fan.
Let's hope all three of them have a nice healthy competition
to lead the team in homers. I think any one of them is capable of doing it. Pujols weakness would be getting walked a lot and not enough pitches to hit. Luddy playing time, and Rick being streaky. should be a cool thing to watch

that dan is talking about…did he really high five a fan in the middle of it?
He tried, I thought that it looked like he missed though
The only one who liked the Cardinals so much he became a St. Louis Cardinals football fan.
he tried...
it’s on the ESPN.com homepage, first video in the stupid auto-start soundbar. I even turned up the volume for the first time in two years to hear what the announcers were saying.
The slow-mo zoomed in shot looked like Manny tried to high five, but totally missed. Basically just like a routine fly ball.
"...but If I can do some damage and help my team win, I'm going to stay in there" -Albert
about the same
but that’s what he’s been at all year. The philosophy of sacrificing velocity for movement seems to be working for him.

“I haven’t actually looked at any evidence, but I see pitchers getting hurt therefore pitch counts don’t matter much”

I believe the quote was, “everyone is concerned about pitch counts to try and protect the pitchers, but they all get hurt anyway.” (if that’s not the quote, its pretty damned close. What fucking nonsense. These statements are similarly nonsensical:
“everyone’s all concerned about gun control, but people get killed anyway.”
“everyone advocates wearing seatbelts (not driving drunk, etc.) but people die in car crashes all the time.”
“everyone wants good color commentators, but Joe Morgan is still employed.” (Ok, so I went over the top on that one)

padres 2nd and 3rd, no outs in the 6th

Of all the feel good stories...
Welly is one of my favorites*. The dude was dropped by the freaking KC Royals. Now he’s consistantly throwing good games, and he’s starting to go deeper into games as the season wears on. Not just this game, either. He’s been good all year. He’s still striking guys out, but he’s cut down drastically on the BBs. I salute you, Colonel.

I am shocked Schumaker hasn't subbed in for Barton yet

Hopefully Tony will pinch hit Schu for Welley

C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!
