Holy crap
That should count as a HR for Kennedy regardless. How often does he hit the ball over the OF’s head?
his goal that at bat was to go the other way and score the runner
obviously he’d prefer a hit, but he made solid contact and did his job, it was a good at bat

Lets Be Positive
at least that is what I think Hardcore is trying to tell us about the Mulder start
The only one who liked the Cardinals so much he became a St. Louis Cardinals football fan.
I prefer realistic.
I don’t want positive spin leading to a 10er start for him in the majors. We cannot afford to bring up a pitcher thats not an improvement over what we already haver here.
Arguably he’s not even better than Garcia, Parisi, or Walters would be. Heck, those three can at least get through a AAA start giving up fewer runs than IP.
Yeah because Pineiro was stellar tonight
Looper was amazing during HIS spring training
And Lohse hasn’t given up 13 runs in his last 16 innings.

I'm happy with those results
No thrilled, but happy. We need to remember that this man has only pitched about a half-dozen games in the last 2 years. (I know this is a bit off, but i don’t feel like looking up specifics.)
I don’t expect a TON from him, but it’s early, and this is still his spring training, or something. I’m glad he’s working through his problems, and learning to adjust. I’m also glad that he’s got 30 days to do it in the minor leagues. He’s not hurting anyone by taking his lumps against a AAA team.
I am shocked by Ankiel's plate patience this year
What a pleasant surprise that has been. I expected a sub-.300 OBP.
I'm interested to hear what LB has to say about this one

Huh
a) Check his ERA before his last start in AAA, eh?
b) I’m just excited for the guy, I’m not saying we should slot him as the damn closer or anything.
c) Stop being a douche.
I'm just saying he's just injury protection
and he’s a guy we can send down again, nothing to get excited over.
He's making his major league debut
It’s probably the most exciting night of his life (or close), and a chance for me to see a guy in the system I’ve never seen before. I think it is something to be excited for.
Lighten up, dude.
I would like to see the cardinals win this game though
I’ve seen Parisi and sure he’s capable but we’ve got better options.
Why would I omit a bad start from his stats.
If anything it’s more indicative of how he is going right now.
That start was against
a 25-5 team. Pretty good competition, maybe better than some of the offenses we’ll play this year.
The Angels AAA team
Is full of a lot of EXTREMELY promising major-league ready talent. Brandon Wood, Kendry Morales, Reggie Willits, Matthew Brown.
Not scrubs. Good players.
On Mar. 29th
the Cardinals were beaten 10-3 by a AA team. Talented minor league teams can make anybody look bad on any given day.
You're impossible
You’re right. Parisi’s a chump because he got lit up by a team that’s 20 games over .500 and off to the best start in the history of the PCL.
Whatever.
"Not a major league pitcher"
Substitute it in for chump if you’d like.
I’m mostly peeved that you think his debut is not worth being excited about.
You can be damn good at baseball
And not be a major league pitcher, it’s a tough league obv.
I just thought he wasn’t the best option to put into in a close game.
MAYBE, i was wrong.
i am glad you said that
Mike looks like he has some nasty stuff

Hey, long time reader, first time poster. I’m moving to a new city every few months but I keep a St. Louis billing address. MLB TV blacks out most of the games because of that address. Anybody know any tricks to set up an out of town account without making me change my credit card info? I’m getting sick of watching gameday.
by BirdlessinSeattle on May 5, 2008 10:49 PM EDT reply actions
I thought
the blackouts were based on the location of your ISP? I was able to watch cards games when I was in tampa even though my billing address was st. louis.
I tried
signing up in San Fran a few weeks ago and they wouldn’t let me watch the game. I called in and the (pretty clueless) lady said it was based on billing address.

Coors in general
Just results in weird games. Whether the cardinals are involved or not, atleast when I watch.
As much as I like Duncan...
isn’t it time Ludwick started in front of him in LF for a while? Duncan’s not fielding, he’s not hitting for average, and he’s not hitting for power anymore.
Start Ludwick vs righties (maybe this will work)
Yes

tie game
to the 9th.
Had to step out for a while….glad to see AP kept the streak going….maybe TLR will stop running thru his entire bench by the 7th one of these days…..
don't think so
they didn’t do well last year until the end of the year, and they still have recent bad world series memories. probably slumpin a bit

I think that was his first earned run of the season.
I know he had a real rough season last year, but we’ve got nothing to complain about this year.

none of us have any idea ;)

it was a weak ground ball to second, the second baseman kinda waited on it, so Pujols just motored around third and went home
he was barely out, but the ump gave us a make up call
boo cubs, hooray beer
he stole 3rd on the pitch
and never stopped running as Rick grounded out to 2nd base.

For those of us on gameday only, what was the play?
40th anniversary of Gibson's 1.12 ERA, Think he could pitch in the bullpen now?
Did somebody say we wouldn't contend this year?
And that we might as well just try for next year?
Because I think somebody forgot to tell Albert Pujols.

Rockies tried to pick Albert off
he hurt his back diving back into 2nd.
On the next pitch, he stole 3rd just as the ball was released.
Ankiel grounded that pitch out to 2nd base and Pujols never stopped running and slid in just ahead of the tag.

What?
Al just said that ball was hit so hard it might have been extra bases if it got by Izturis.
On a grounder up the middle Al? Really?
it waas a one-hop line drive
that probably would’ve been a gapper.
