Game 49 overflow I
the cards with RISP tonight: 5 for 8 with two walks. and there is still a RISP (ludwick) as i type this with two outs in the top of the 4th. pujols might be a tad distracted out there; hope those two injured padres heal up quick. cards lead it 6-2.

Hopefully
those two on strikeouts help Looper settle down, he’s got the run support which he didn’t have last time. Let’s get him a win.
Worse case scenario we have a rested pen with a day off looming. let’s take this series

Looper
What are we at, 75 pitches? This is just about where Looper heads severely downhill.
I’m hoping the 4th was his last inning, though I know Tony will probably trot him out there in the 5th so he can qualify for the win. If we send Loop out there again, this game could get tight really quick. I just hate it that we always wait to change the pitcher after bad shit goes down.

The logic of the pay
We’re watching this game: TV rights money.
We pay for the tickets.
We buy the merchandise.
We buy the concessions etc etc.
They’re taking their cut, or would you rather it go to a 5 person ownership group?
It’s such a pet peeve of mine when anyone complains about salaries (not that anyone was really doing it, but it’s the principle of the thing damnit…)

the nhl handled that INCREDIBLY poorly
no lockout is good, but at least the other sports didn’t have complete chaos as far as player movement from team to team in conjunction with the lockout. it’s one thing to come back from a play stoppage and try to get fans back and excited again. it’s another thing to try to bring them back to a completely different group of players, with no idea who they’re rooting for or against.
in addition, the nhl was absolutely moronic about its tv deal. i know, let’s have a strike, lose a lot of our fan base, have half of each roster swapped out, and then put all our games on the outdoor channel. brilliant.
i know previously die-hard hockey fans who haven’t watched a game since the lockout.

Don't get too cheerful about this
There are sprains and sprains. A severe, “high” sprain is as bad for a player as a fracture, since fractures (eventually) heal completely. I agree, almost certainly it’s better than the worst possible fracture, but it could still be bad.

On the one hand, I love that an ump can dish it as much as he's always getting it
but on the other hand, lighten up, dude. This Padres team is devastated. They just lost their best (healthy) pitcher and catcher in the span of 5 minutes, and they’re down by 6 runs. They’re in a tailspin. Who cares if the freaking pitching coach stares at you?
