Hey, sorry about the lack of a game thread earlier, everybody. I was confused; thought it was an evening game. My apologies.

KMAC

will probably close?

He was warm, either him or Perez since Franklin got killed yesterday.

by enoscountry on Jun 14, 2008 5:59 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

It should be Perez

anyone else and I will turn on LaRussa

alrigtht

I can actually deal with Franklin, since he is the “closer”.

And the real answer is Franklin...

Somehow INTERIM closer is a clearly defined role…

What better way to break in your future closer than vs ryan howard in a one run game?

i really want to see that matchup.

Given Howard's proclivity towards striking out

I’d take Perez in that matchup easy.

NOW I have a bad feeling

Wrong guy taking the mound IMO pitching back to back days when Perez is fully rested.

Why, did Franklin pit in last nights “game”

i'll take it

just more evidence that “closer” is massively overrated as a “position”.

What's more likely?

Franklin saves
1 – run
2 – runs or over

by enoscountry on Jun 14, 2008 6:04 PM EDT   0 recs

based on history

“Franklin saves” is the most common result ... ground out as I speak

Ankiel

I knew I should have left him on the bench today.

I have a love/hate relationship with the Cardinals' middle relief corps.

Well...if we hold it here it would be a somewhat uneventful win....

but in reality I think one of the bigger ones of the season.

Great way to end it Luddy!!!!!!!

Looked like it bounced to me, but I’m not complaining!!

Was that really

a 2 hour game?

by Tackle Box on Jun 14, 2008 6:08 PM EDT   0 recs

I know

Watched the whole thing. Just doesn’t happen to often.

It was more of a rhetorical question.

by Tackle Box on Jun 14, 2008 6:10 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

2 hours, 11 minutes

pretty efficient though…

This has the feeling of the Tampa Bay series

get outperformed each game but manage to win 2 out of 3.

We outperformed this game, mroe hits, better pitching

Out preformed?

they had 4 hits today. We had better pitching, better hitting, and better defense.

by Evilfrog on Jun 14, 2008 6:10 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah.

Phillies hitters were overmatched all day.

by Tackle Box on Jun 14, 2008 6:11 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That's pretty bad right there

I could tell that ball bounced in real time (or at least was leaning toward it bounced) and not watching in HD

It isn't like these umpires are good anyway

I used to think McClelland was a great ump Now I think all the bad umping has rubbed off on him
