New York @ St. Louis


Maine Lohse
8-5, 3.73 9-2, 3.94

i couldn't say for a fact, but i think Maine is one of only two states in the union to have a baseball player named after it --- the other being, of course, Washington. i'm not counting nicknames such as "Georgia Peach" or "Mississippi Mudcat" . . . .

Pittsburgh is batting

their pitcher 8th this evening. Tony-Ball is catching on!

Well who the hell can see forever?

I am tired of seeing duncan in the lineup.

I figure the more we complain the more people will take note. Its one thing to hit .238 and be defensive gem…its another to suck defensively and offensively
and Luddy can hit righties

what is the value of an internet dollar?

is it comparable to a Schrute buck or a Stanley nickel?

Schrute buck, all the way.

Also, assuming first names count,

Maryland Dykes Potter disagrees with your argument, lb.

we can add Hidalgo and Guerrero

erin andrews

is reason enough for me to watch the espn broadcast rather than dan and al.

i think we're out of luck

they would’ve gone to her by now.

i love peter gammons

but he doesn’t cancel out the douchebaggery of steve phillips.

erin andrews cancels out anything.

good evening mates

should be fun tonight seeing that (mostly) everyone gets to see th game on television tonight.

Orel says this is important for Loshe...

Cuz he’s looking for a spot on the All-Star team. Never really viewed as that good this season…

Duncan

Duncan, Duncan, Duncan. Let him hit through his slump only weeks after sending him down where he accomplished nothing.

There is no arguement to justify playing Duncan.

Milt Thompson FTW!

how'd we end up

with the game on both networks anyway? That never happens with MLB’s arcane blackout rules….

by DarkHelmut on Jun 30, 2008 7:14 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

with the new TV deal

they are allowed to do this 3 times a year

espn

has a provision in their contract that allows them to go H2H with the local network three times a year. tonight was one of those nights.

Miles starting at 2nd again

vs. a rightie. Is he now officially the starting second baseman?

I really cant stand that twurp

and the sad things is. He’s on our team

you hate miles?

the same guy who has a .350 BA in the last 30 games.

that miles?

by stlcardinalsfang on Jun 30, 2008 7:19 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I like Miles

he is what he is.
That isn’t a starter though.
But he is outproducing AK

How would you improve on Miles 4/Ryan 6 with our current roster?

That’s really the best 2B/SS combo we have right now, at least until Izturis gets off of the DL

They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...

if boog was the 2nd baseman in that role, the range between the two would be amazing!

by AdjustedExpectations on Jun 30, 2008 7:21 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

An argument can be made

regardless, until then, it’s CERTAINLY the case, that Ryan/Miles is your best MI combo, barring a trade

Im not arguing that

I just dont like the guy. I have a vandetta against punchin judy hitters as a former pitcher myself
