I hope this game isn't like the weekend nailbiters
They were all 6-Franklin affairs. Need a big lead so I can turn in early tonight.

If the Yost news turns out to be true
Let me be the first to say, that on behalf of all Cardinals fans and the rest of the NL Central, you’ll truly be missed. No, seriously.

we rip on TLR
but did u see where he left ben sheets in the 7th to give up all of his 7 runs that inning? maybe the bullpen was spent but how do you allow that to happen to your “ace”? plus he was cruising til that point…I can say I would be livid as a cards fan if TLR let that implosion happen to AW..he’s known to leave a guy in one or two batters too long but that was rediculous..
now Braun said the team shows up expecting to not win
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
How about the fact that in yesterday's game
He left Braun and Fielder in to play the field (LF and 1B, respectively) and had Tony Gwynn, Jr. as the DH, hitting NINTH?!
What an idiot.

Completely unrelated
Was looking at the box score of the Memphis/Nashville game. Did anyone know that Russell Branyan is putting up huge numbers?? His line with Nashville so far:
.362/.453/.696 ops of 1.149 through 138 ab.
THe same Russell Branyan who
couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat with St Louis last year?
"Is this Heaven?"
"No, it;s Iowa."
"I could've sworn it was Heaven."
yeah, that was a shame.
A Branyan hitting for his career-average OPS+ of 107 could have been enough to push us into the playoffs last year. i was VERY excited about picking him up last year and was massively disappointed.
Branyan is one of those guys whose career is a mystery to me. He hit 40 HR as a 20yo in A ball, and then 39 between A+ and AA as a 21yo, and put up a 1.112 OPS as a 22yo AA player despite striking out an amazing number of times. He’s been in the majors since he was 24 and before last year he’s never had a full mlb season under an OPS+ of 100, yet he’s been released by two teams, traded for a minor leaguer or ptbnl twice, and sold twice for under $1M.
You’d think SOMEONE would find a spot for him on their 25 man roster, as a pinch hitter or DH if nothing else.
And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...
He will show up on someone's roster at some point.
And I bet he’s going to have a good season/season and a half somewhere. Probably somewhere like the A’s.
She isn't crazy, she's just not impressed.
Congrats to Jon Lester
Wow. Watched the last few innings. What a gem. 8k, 2bb, no hitter
I liked all the defensive substitutions in the 8th and 9th. Good stuff. Get Manny the hell out of there.
I hate that the Red Sox threw another no-hitter
But at least it was Jon Lester. Nice story. I still hate your team.
Cardinal fan in the heart of Braves country
Track 'em Tigers - An SB Nation Blog for Auburn Tigers fans
Not my team.
Agree on Lester. If it had been any other pitcher in that uni I’d have posted the jinx several innings ago.
By the way, how did Jose Jiminez and Bud Smith ever thow no-hitters?!
Cardinal fan in the heart of Braves country
Track 'em Tigers - An SB Nation Blog for Auburn Tigers fans
They were new pitchers without much exposure to the league
I was at Bud Smith’s no-hitter in San Diego. What fun!
Also, on a related note, one of my colleagues told me the other day that his son just had a hitting lesson from Bud Smith. Bud sure dropped into obscurity fast!
That's true
But didn’t Jiminez throw a 1-hitter against the Diamondbacks like the week before he no-hit them?
Cardinal fan in the heart of Braves country
Track 'em Tigers - An SB Nation Blog for Auburn Tigers fans
Correction
When Jimenez no-hit the D-backs while facing The Big Unit, it started a 4-start stretch for Johnson where his team was no-hit, 1-hit, 2-hit & 3-hit during his games. The 2-hitter was Jimenez as well; my brother & I were at that game (I still remember the sunburn from that day).
That said, the Cubs do deserve my pity, but never my support.
I knew it was something like that

6'
When I play pickup ball many times I’m the tallest or second-tallest on the team, which isn’t good because I have no inside game. I’m a pretty good rebounder, but I’m more of a jump-shooter. If I’m ever on a team where I’m the 3rd tallest, then we’re in good shape.

That's the thing about the infusion of players in the NBA from soccer-playing countries
It’s definitely increased the league’s talent level, but because soccer is the game of flops, basketball has turned into a game of flops. I wish they’d do something in the rules about it.
