That should count as a HR for Kennedy regardless. How often does he hit the ball over the OF’s head?

Man he just doesn’t look right lately.

Not really

yes he scored the runner, but you know albert wanted to do more then ground out.

by StLHugo on May 5, 2008 10:05 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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

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.

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.

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.

new rule

anytime anyone says the wagonmaker sucks, they have to take a timeout from the site. Anyone care to second that?

Wainwright is a good bat, and if he makes an out, there’s no reason to double switch. We still have a full bench.

And these Cardinals could use a few runs, too. I’d like to see Pujols extend his on-base streak with a hit that doesn’t require him to actually stand on a base.

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.

The ump's only job in that play was to make the call right

and he completely missed it. I’m willing to give umps some slack from time to time, but that is a call that no umpire should ever make. Even if he couldn’t tell that Yadi wasn’t tagged, it was so clear that Yadi got in there before the phantom tag.

A year or 2 ago

the marlins did it.
a single was hit to left or something and the third baseman had the ball, but the runner and 3rd base coach forgot he had it, so they stalled until the runner took a lead and they tagged him out.

Anybody remember that Homerun Tulowiski his at Busch that they ruled a double last year?

Waaaaaaaay off topic

But I’ve got the Hornets/Spurs game on, and I hate the Spurs so very much. There isn’t a single player on that team I like, well maybe Brent Barry, but Bowen, Ginobili, Duncan, Parker are all just a bunch of flopping whiners.

People hate the spurs

because they’re always so good…kind of like the Yankees

by saladdays on May 5, 2008 11:36 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

No, people hate the Spurs because

they are boring, have the dirtiest player in the league on their team to go with the biggest drama queen coming off the bench.

If Bonds was on the Cards

I would probably root for him

by saladdays on May 5, 2008 11:43 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

not really

I think it is largely because of all the flops, and the fact that Bruce Bowen is one of the dirtiest players in recent memory. It would be like if Clemens through at people’s heads all the time when the Yankees were good….oh wait, at least you got the analogy somewhat right.

it is because we don't have pitchers like

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

That's how you have to hit against a guy like Fuentes
