Game 36 Open Thread: May 8, 2008

I’d settle for 15 today, especially with Summers in Rangoon on the hill for the Birds.

scary proposition.

Interesting today. Yadi fifth. Barton 2nd, should be interesting!

i hate weather delays

For about 30 minutes. So I can catch the end on the drive home.

give the guy a day off.

he beats the throw

Just following the gameday live. But De le Rosa’s ERA is down 5 points snice the first pitch

thank god we get 8 more chances

off the top corner of the wall

pretty lucky for us

Yahoo seems to suck. What else is there?

he’s thrown nothing but fastballs thus far.

lucky.

they looked sweet to me on the inside corner

and now it’s a one run lead, that should be a two run lead

i do not like it, sam i … horatio

as I predicted.

Lohse today. I have a feeling our bullpen is going to get alot of work today….not really what we need going to Milwaukee. I really hope we can cash in today if he have runners on.

damn you brendan

guess he doesnt want that big contract after all!

could have used the rainout.

well, lets find some gaps

When I checked last time it was in the middle of the inning. Now they have 4 runs.

being prone to the big inning…
lets just hope our bats can pick him up and let him settle down

they took away Brendan Ryan’s error.

I was thinking we’d get a pretty good measure of just how punch & judy this club was in Coors Field…..so far we have just the one Ankiel solo HR this series right?

But 3 hits and 2 walks ain’t pretty

ouch. another horrible outing. i know ryan’s error didn’t help, but ryan didn’t walk 2 guys and serve up a bunch of meatballs

sure are cashing in when they get runners on…wish we could do the same. I hate to sound too negative but after last night’s loss, I was thinking this could be the start of a skid for us while playing on the road.

The big fear: pitchers are going to try too hard because of the bullpen problems.

let’s hope he reverts to being de la Rosa right here

guess we’ll just have to do that again to take this series.

LUDWICK

way to go Ludwick

your starting LF.

I’m in the mood for a barn burner

today. If he can clean them up, he might rebound but he is flying all over the place.

but I hope we can get one of those with some men on base for a change. Anyone know how many of our HRs are solo jacks this season? Seems like most of them have been.

twice?

on both teams. Patience at the plate will win the day. This ump strike zone is SMALL

this inning. Driving towards the plate more.

Lohse can get thier 1-2 guys out.

;)

albert breaks out

luddy jack

zz

expands when we are up

ok, I’m done.

leads to a triple

into staying at 3rd.

barton’s hat flew off in the outfield

just asked Al where the strike zone is….And followed up by saying “this strke zone I just cant follow it”

i’m hoping for a rain out. they owe us one.

but shoetops are strikes

Get two here and I’ll personally send $99.99 to Cardinals’ Care.

but is the ump squeezing Lohse with every batter so far?

THAT was a ball?

this ump is scaring me

so strike 2 was further outside than any of the balls so far….

are saying lohse is getting squeezed

like the same pitch to me.

kyle

it’s the pitcher…..let’s get a double play and strand Atkins…..

The game needs it. In 2009.

I say it’s time for Robot umps. At least for balls and strikes

else something will get thrown….

anyone seen my red stapler?

is killing me

this is not your series

Albert looks really really tired

i get myself throw out on purpose next time i’m up to bat…end this misery and make a point…die a martyr

maybe Pujols will be a playing manager. heh.

has been calling games at the major league level since Brooks Robinson was still playing. Time to hang it up, I think.

I don’t know if this is funny or sad

but its hard to believe that going into the 8th last night we were on the brink of a 4 game sweep ( considering todays starters numbers) and now it is looking like we will likely leave with a split.

than like we did last night

we need to send him and Mike Fontenot off to an island somewhere

and rockies have 2 runners on

we will make a run if we can keep the deficit down

BEAR DOWN!

triple play

I like the 13 scoreless innings to start the season Lohse better than this Lohse.

bring in miles

like he’s pissed off at the ground

we have woke up the Rockies from their winter slumber.

did lohse get lucky there! That was crazy close to goin out

al called him zorro earlier…and there was a dustin hermanson reference as well

3:20 CT

Im going to go get some work done.

Hate to say it, but we’ve had one of these coming eventually. Sucks that it comes during an early start.

at 93 through 4 per gameday. He has to be done, right?

why couldn’t you wait one more game to come out of your hitting slump. and why can’t we get runs off this pitcher? what gives

Brandon Webb is ridiculous.

I’ve got about a shit ton of paper on my desk to file. maybe I should do that

is wandering around the forest in center field

they showed a duck, and now they’re just focusing on some cardinal hanging out in the pine trees.

base knock!

is using his telscopic vision to steal signs…unfortunately he doesn’t know the signs so he is give the hitters bad advice

Lets Go Redbirds!

BOOO!

C’mon Iz2, bring the magic bat!

a three run homer coming…izturis gonna flash some make em pay power

if we cant move em over, let them do the work

scores two now

keep the good eye on it Iz2.

scores none

So you say the Cardinals are…stranding? runners

a.k.a. Jorge De La Rosa has an ERA of less than half of what it was at the beginning of the day. Thank you, Cardinal offense.

Springer is pitching! Didnt know he could do that anymore ;-)

making him chase a crap pitch.

go Russ!

should have pitched last night…hindsight is 20/20

Atkins and the stlperfectos fantasy baseball team thank Loshe today

(though they collectively, and Waino specifically BOOOO Izzy for yesterday )
;-)

Hows this for risky business, my closers are: Izzy, Ryan, Lidge!

no hit, all speed OF with Pods and Tavy

That is if you forget about Holliday and Hawpe

almost as refreshing as a cold franklin would be
