i think musial is loosening up in the clubhouse, swinging a bat . . . . cards trail it 3-0 in the 6th.

i dont think it's a bad idea

he would’ve been fast enough to possibly beat it out, and even if he does get thrown out, he advances the runners out of DP possibility and into scoring position

Interesting...

... that they decided against the DL for Rick, yet don’t PH him here against a right-hander with two men on. Apparently, it’s a case of mind over Mather.

if they play him they cant retro his 15 day DL

should his shoulder be worse than they are saying. and nothing like that ever happens to cards players right?

Their radio commercials really lie...

Probably 2-3 times a game, they run a commercial about Schnunks’s donuts. How great they are. How many varieties there are. But if you go to a Schnunks, their donut section consists of maybe 5 varieties, 4 of which are sold out and the rest look old.

OK, Albert...

Ludwick has 11 homers and leads the team… doesn’t that just PISS you off? Huh? Doesn’t it?

I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2

Albert

simply doesn’t like to walk.

by chicagocardfan on May 18, 2008 5:01 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yup.

And he needs to rethink that now that he’s got some protection behind him.

My brain isn’t understanding this.

Pitch to Pujols, but Ludwick on?

by Evilfrog on May 18, 2008 5:02 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Pitch to Albert

And intentionally walk Ludwick? And it makes sense.

What a strange year it has been.

2 outs, runners on 1st & 2nd, and who's at the plate?

Was he behind that first pitch?

It was straight down central

that the "whole blog" would stop

people rip AP pretty hard even though hes batting 340 and i believe its TLRs fault for starting the runner…u put him in defensive swing mode…the guy cant do it all the time..different scenario with dunc but u see the point
