Game 53 overflow

He’s now a true Cardinal… (sniff)

Move the pitcher’s spot to Duncan’s spot or even Skip’s

can we PLEASE call him up!

he looked waaay more relaxed at the plate than usual today

so who are we going to rip on for the rest of the night now?

don’t walk in runs, dude

but I have not seen anything in the field to indicate that

but thank god for tivo so i could watch bartons jack

makes me feel a little better

i’m about to lose my dinner

all hard, thats my boy

Cool

to play baseball

of players that are killing the Cards right now

i seriously want to know where has his power gone

You made contact that time…baby steps!!

For a guy that has such a clear problem with a long swing, you think he could think to keep it short

pretty sad.

Too soon. Not there mentally yet. Bullpen till the end of the year.

J.R. Towles sucks at the plate. And yet he’s been on base 3 out of 4 plate appearances. We need to change that for the rest of this series

just took Danny Haren deep for a 3 run jack.

he took 25 minutes to round the bases.

he has to check his hat to keep it on

i’m outta here, this game sucks.

would be pitching this well this late in the game?

I am surprised he is still in the majors, let alone keeping us down like this.

honestly, why bring in Flores?

in the bottom of the eighth, we’ll see another pitcher in the ninth.

it’s 8-2. he’s got a bum elbow.

be smart Tony.

knows a thing or two about hitting a baseball, I dare say.

If the dudes in front of Pujols weren’t 0-for-8.

A phrase that will go down in infamy

Pence = un-get-out-able

i mean , with 164 games or whatever, one day off shouldnt make you miss the game, yet it does

and we get one like this coming back…here’s to a win tomorrow(or a miracle today)

without K

try & forget about it boys & go get em tomorrow

this was the sort of game I was expecting to be the norm for this year. Instead I was surprised by the team actually being good for almost the first two months. I just hope this isn’t the real team finally coming out, though I think it probably is.

With Kennedy hitting like last year, Skip hitting like Skip, Duncan hitting like Skip, Ludwick not playing, this is just going to be a painful team to watch. And then there is the pitching.

the STL media still has not cojones.

the let TLR off the hook once again.

sickening

a few notes:
– Looper was totally just “arming” it. No body, just total arm.
- I have never heard a louder crack of the bat than what the Astros were getting off Loop.
- Berkman is Fat Elvis.
- Duncan is . . . not that good right now.
- Ankiel’s nickname should be “the Rifleman”. The cannon on that guy.
- Astros have a serious lineup
- Having Ludwick not playing right now would be like asking Bob Gibson to skip a turn in ‘68. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
- Barton doesn’t look that bad in the field. Good routes to balls, quicker that crap through a goose on the jump.

a man in portland broke in to a liquor store and stole a unch of booze and cigs, one of the bottles Wild turkey…had to post this

Anybody check out the voting thus far for the American League All-Stars? Looks like it is going to comprise of all Red Sox and Yankees players….oh yeah with Vlad Guerrero.

This is why MLB needs to get on the media to start covering/promoting some of the other teams in baseball and not just the Red Sox & Yankees all the time. I realize the game will be played in Yankee Stadium, but man it would be nice to see some of the other great players in the American League get a chance at the spotlight other than a Red Sox or Yankee.

The constant focus on just the 2 Super Power East Coast teams with the media is really going to hurt baseball across the whole country pretty quick if some of the other teams don’t get a fair share of coverage. Just my opinion.
