Game 37 overflow

Birdos_avatar_tiny by lboros on

i'm wearing a hawaiian shirt, standing in front of a cash box, ringing up purchases at my kids' school fund-raiser. my drinks are free, but i can't drink ---- because i'm driving 3 or 4 drunk dads home. my life sucks, in other words. only a st louis victory can salvage anything of value from this evening; don't let me down fellahs. at the time i programmed this post, the cards led 1-0 and had the sacks jammed, nobody out in the top of the second, with wellemeyer batting; win expectancy 75 percent.

This team is kind of ridiculous

great in OBP, but we counteract that by NOT hitting HRs or XBH and grounding into a TON of DPs.

The ultimate

base-clogging team.

Thank God Dusty’s not out manager.

As I posted before this new thread

Mo needs to find us an RBI guy in a month or so if we are going to make a serious run for the division this year.

How much longer

should they give him before they need to start looking for possible trades?

by KYCards on May 9, 2008 10:01 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

yeah

they need an error mercy rule in MLB; if you give up 4 errors in one game, your team automatically loses.

I say we leave him in...

It’s easy to say after he gets out of it.

Man he seems to be avoiding walks this season.

Its been said before, control is the only skill that improves

for pitchers as they age (in general)

Its very possible this is a real change in his skill set. If so we got a steal.

that's a really good comment

and it seems to be true. i have been really impressed with wellemeyer all year long. i just wish he could pitch deeper into games but maybe that is something that takes time? idk

Now it's a battle of the bullpens

Who’s is worse? Ours or theirs?

by cloistermaximus on May 9, 2008 10:04 PM EDT reply reply   0 recs

I recall

And I think initially I thought theirs was worse.. Then Izzy melted down again, coupled with Franklin giving up some runs.. now I’m not so sure.

by cloistermaximus on May 9, 2008 10:06 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

i'd take izzy over gagne.

but that’s not saying much.

That Pepsi commerical is going to Merriweather's head

he keeps calling these checkswings strikes when the hitter’s clearly aren’t going through the zone.

Anyone know if Pineiro will be ready to go

for his next start? If not, who gets it? Parisi pitched 2 innings yesterday, what is his availibilty to start that game if Pineiro can’t go?
