for giving us a chance to win today

Walk followed up by a HR. Don’t let it get to you kid. Happens to the best of them.

ah yeah, I forgot about barden, he doesn’t get mentioned a lot, how is he doing?

and show him how his hometown fans are, too bad kid we got it locked up though, can you play 2nd?

as a long on – 4-pitch walk, HR, double. . . . Dame desu! (bad stuff)

Don’t pitch around guys with a 5 run lead.

seem to have the Cubs number so far. up 3-0 and just got a triple

The guy has one semi-decent pitch, a fairly crappy curveball, and a slider that must be worse than the curve ‘cause he never throws it. They should send him back to the Texas League and leave him there until he develops at least an average breaking pitch.

But not as good as Pineiros

some guys would have given in after a walk, homer, and double

Homer Bailey.

2 more innings for boggs?

third time through the order

We’re leading. That’s good. How is Wade Mitchell Boggs looking?

Didn’t want to test Ankiel?

cubs on the board with 3 straight hits to lead off the 2nd. glavine looks to be laboring since the first pitch.

Braves up 3-2.

i’m checking in a few minutes late here (6 PM starts are way too early for me). how’s the kid looking?

5 IP, 2 R

Not much more we could ask for

isn’t that guy ancient?

i guess luddy gets an off day 2morrow

“got ahead by too much too early” games.

and the crowd went wild.

Braves still up 3-2. I think Glavine’s thrown like 100 pitches through 2.

GO CARDS!!!!!!

did i mention i can’t stand ron villone?

I’m not rooting against Boggs, I just see him as something in between Marquis and Thompson. It’s not possible to be an effective starter with just a hard sinker, no matter the quality of that pitch. He might hang on as a AAAA guy or a long man, but that’s it. If you look at his record, he’s never dominated at any level. He only just gets by.

i didn’t think that was as short a porch as it is. that was an excuse me swing and almost got to the track.

The pitching carousel has started. I hope Miles is ready to go a couple tonight…

but he should know by now. Mayabe he was just mad at himself for walking dunn

tie game.

kyle finishes this inning and pitches the next, perez for the eighth and frankenstein fo close it out. hopefully we get some more runs

where are the grammar cops?

homer

Honestly I do

STUDWICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sucks.

no pujols

just checking in now … LOVE the smackdown ankiel gave the reds announcers by going back-to-back. they were talking trash about the non-pujols members of the lineup, and then – uh oh!

Season over

see you next year.

twice

just a cramp, just a cramp, just a cramp….

makes me fear Achille’s

How did it look? What was it?

gonna make us earn it this year, eh?

Please be a cramp.

Can anyone describe what happened?

nowhammynowhammynowhammynowhammy

it doesn’t look like a cramp to the point they weren’t stretching it – he swung on the outer half of the plate lunged and his left leg came up lame.

And I said I thought they could content barring injuries to Waino/Pujols.

Sigh.

just got carried off the field after collapsing and holding his left calf

didn’t look that bad. it’s hard to see how what happened could have caused a serious injury.

that MO said duncan would be up sometime this week , before the injury even happened?
Why exactly would they be thinking of bringing him up , he hasn’t done anything in AAA?
If ALbert isn’t DL’s then who did they plan on sending out?

Please, Mang, be ok

I had this same injury last (softball) season with the calf. It would feel fine until I tried to run and especially when I was coming out of the box. I tried to play through it but I pulled it again and again trying to run out of the box. It literally took me 4 months before I didn’t feel it when I was running. Not. Good. D.GOOCH

if Albert misses a significant amount of time, but so is my fantasy team(s). Is that bad to say?

Mather can play 1st base. That’s good to know.

if pujols is dead for the season, he can get that elbow surgery too, and take care of that

thats something right????im so sad

what a downer

I’m only kidding..

if mather can play first there’s no need to call up duncan.

unless barton continues to suck.

we’re in a rebuilding year and not trying to win it anyway.

I think the big concern is wanting no tears on that calf that would hurt him long term.

SHUT THE FUCK UP. Seriously…he is the worst when it comes to injuries. You’d think that AP has a compund fracture of the femur with the bone sticking in his eye. Sheesh.

the title seemed to be a little to ominous to me, almost as if we were asking for something to happen. And well now he we are down waino and pujols a week later. No, I’m not trying to call out baron, it just seems ironic…

I mean it sucks, but the rest of this line up has some fight. We’ve won plenty of games with minimal AP production.

perez is warming up for the eighth.

ST. LOUIS FIRST BASEMAN ALBERT PUJOLS LEFT THE GAME IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEVENTH INNING DUE TO LEFT CALF CRAMPING.
