I picked a crappy game

to join VEB, but here I am… hi y’all.

by Andyfantastic on May 8, 2008 5:08 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

no such thing as a crappy game.

the secret is to just be a bit zen about it all.

Welcome, andy.

For me

this game would not be that bad if we had closed out the game last night.

ESPN Management (CT): Umm…...what does this have to do with the Red Sox and Yankees?

yeah

That game was hurtful last night!

Izzy is losing it. You can see it over the last 3 years. The end is near.

Kick it to me... I'm open!

I'd have to agree

it’s been a slow depreciation of value

Ankiel is Jesus!

by Cards Fan in Chitown on May 8, 2008 5:17 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

he's now got 4 BS ... or is it 5?

he only had 10 through August of 2006.

This is not somebody who’s just having a few rough days.

by tom s. on May 8, 2008 5:30 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm sure he'll still have his moments

but he just can’t go out there like 4 or 5 times a week and seal the deal

why dont we run more often

we actually have some speed this year

by VolsnCards5 on May 8, 2008 5:15 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

We've been caught 8 times, successful 11

We’re costing ourselves runs with most attempts.

With no evidence to the contrary, Colby Rasmus is clutch

by joker24 on May 8, 2008 5:28 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

but anecdotally

it seems like most of those were failed hit and runs…

I’d like to see izturis, ryan, and barton run, at least.

And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...

Barton

is the only one of those three that I would actually consider fast, and him stealing would often result in Pujols being walked.

Start Ludwick

by DiscoJer on May 8, 2008 6:16 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don't know about you guys

But I’m really liking what I’m seeing from Parisi overall in his two appearances. He’s not dominating, but overly effective (walk withstanding). Hasn’t pitched his way back to Memphis for me.

Parisi batting?

What’s up with that?

by Andyfantastic on May 8, 2008 5:32 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Parisi with the bat?

Wow. Tony must want to catch the early flight to Milwaukee.

HOLY CRAP

Ludwick is out of control.

I've got a fever

and the only cure is

MORE LUDWICK!

by TedSimmonsFan on May 8, 2008 5:34 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

if tlr is smart

which he is, he’ll realize ludwick is an everyday player…against lefties and righties

by VolsnCards5 on May 8, 2008 5:35 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

He'll also reconsider

batting the stopgap rookie reliever in front of him.

Not that I’m questioning The Genius or anything. The Genius is not to be questioned.

Home Plate Umpire is the one out of control

The only one who liked the Cardinals so much he became a St. Louis Cardinals football fan.

ok, i did it...

just adding Luddy to my fantasy team. that convinced me.

I am the only/last Anthony Reyes fan!

nice

I’ll be getting some points for that!

Buy low, sell high...

Keep in mind Xavier Nady is leading the NL in RBIs…

Kings of the solo shot

Cardinals baserunners must have some wicked infield chatter.

by Andyfantastic on May 8, 2008 5:35 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

good thing is

the odds should even out on that without much of a doubt

Ankiel is Jesus!

by Cards Fan in Chitown on May 8, 2008 5:36 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

best comeback

of all time, right here.

by dangpenguins on May 8, 2008 5:51 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Maybe not better than the one against the Reds in '05

But certainly amazing, nonetheless…

Come back, Dunc

All is forgiven. Just give us a home run with men on base. Please? Just this one?

where has chris’s power gone?

I’m a little irked by the Cards’ power outage in general. Izzy, Glaus and the other sore points with the ‘08 teams have not bothered me so much. But the lack of pop in this lineup is admittedly starting to get to me.

got both adam and chris. all up to Hail Cesar!

Needless to say

I took the appropriate amount of comfort in that.

Let’s just try to forget today ever happened. Here’s to a good showing in Milwaukee.

This only cost a half-game

With the Cubs facing the D-bags this weekend, a good series in Milwaukee could put some serious distance between us and the rest of the Central.

by Andyfantastic on May 8, 2008 5:58 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

The night cap will tell us how much it cost us

could cost us a full game to the hard charging Astros and the Brewers who we’ve got up next.

Loshe is a pumpkin

i said a few nights ago i was wondering if our rag tag rotation is returning back into rag tags…only time will tell

I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2

Well cards
