Game #62 Overflow Thread #3

Wake me up please

people across the country would have seizures.

coming back like this

3 outs, come on, Franklin!

Here’s hoping LaRue picks ‘im off.

I don’t want to lose this one!

I mean, sure, they blew the HUUUUUGE lead. But they’ve had a lot of walk-off wins this year, if i recall

let’s do this!

Glaus isn’t exactly used to handling pickoff throws.

enough already.

Make this a quick save, I’ve got a basketball game to watch…

I blame azru.

Sigh.

aaaahhhhh, screw the basketball game now, I’m just gonna go to bed.

That was a wacky fucking game. I kinda wish I wasn’t a fan of either team in a game like that…

Oh well.

“FUCK”

but this hurts.

most hated players. Thanks for crushing my dreams.

hitting .200. Beautiful.

how does this happen? another game like that pirates grand slam game

for being a total r-tard.

Its been Real, Its been fun, but I can’t say its been real fun…..
I think I’m walking away from sports for the night
Night all

I’m gonna try and look at this objectively

Parisi was pure shit, but had an awesome hit
Worrell was incredible in all phases
McClellan, Villone, and Flores all did really well too
Schu had some shitty plays in the OF but a solid clutch triple
Adam Kennedy needs to be DFA’d yesterday
Franklin had nothing in that 9th

BILLY HALL [IS] ON THE TRADE BLOCK!

intestinal fortitude…or like i like to say…balls. They always bounce back

and we still took the series. Don’t get too down, there’s always next time… when we’ll have a real pitcher pitching.

Bad Elijah Dukes wife-beater jokes to make me feel better?

But those homers were pretty awesome, eh?

oop, make that 38 now.

highlights every roster move the Cardinals need to make…

Parisi back down and Pinerio up.

Kennedy DFA’d and Hoffpauer given a chance (or at least Ryan)

Franklin back to the 8th inning, and Perez to close out games.

Do those things and you’ll start winning some of these damned marginal games.

ELIJAH DUKES HITS GIRLS.

I’ll sleep easy tonight as a card’s fan.

He is absolutely terrible now. It would appear the lack of a secondary pitch is his downfall.

“How bad can I make this lineup and STILL beat the Nationals.”

That is the absolute best lineup you can make and still LOSE to the Nationals. Make it a smidge better, we win. Go get ‘em next time, Tony

With Piniero on this team we are much better.

I dare any of those reporters to

“Explainations are like excuses, we don’t make them.”

Isn’t that what postgame interviews usually consist of….

What and at bat and homer by Joey Bombs! Looks like Franklin is warming up in the abyss, he was good in game one today, I’m feeling good about this one. What a comeback!

And hey Azruavatar was considerate enough to make a new overflow thread! Adam Kennedy serves a purpose! Can Parisi be stopped?!? Life is good!

AK=Not good

as Ryan Dempster further proves he sold his soul to the devil. Oh well, atleast one of our main WC rivals, the Dodgers will lose.

Jiminez – Kennedy – or make your own trade for Hall

Your choice will be the starter at 2nd base.

My choice, if I had to pick on of the above, is to take a flyer on Hall and DFA Kennedy. Bring Jiminez up for the time being if I need to and then DFA him.

435 OT
408 OV1
434 OV2
206 OV3 (this included)

1483

That, is amazing.

As detailed on this blog recently, the premise for Franklin as closer is that Perez is not ready; and that holding Perez back while not preferable isn’t out of the ordinary for a young gun like him.

Tonight, after waiting in the pouring rain last night, and missing all but the last inning of the makeup because of work, and watching LaRussa’s young B-List Cardinal lineup battle back from 7-0 after 3, I saw Franklin lose this game with two very hittable fastballs that failed to fool or otherwise overpower a mediocre veteran and a failing youngin’.

If his treatment of Parisi and his starting lineup is any indication, TLR was fully prepared to lose the nightcap. His team showed some tenacity. I think they deserved to have Perez come in and throw those fastballs.

Cheers for Joey Mather; hell of an at-bat.

...Kennedy has no place playing major league baseball right now. He’s just plan terrible; and isn’t competing.

Dink n’ Flicka.

Great comeback but wasn’t quite enough. Get them next time, birds!

Bob Brenely: “Fastball Away, that’s what I woulda called”
Dweeb with him: “Of course you would.”
Howry delivers the pitch and Kent hits his 2nd HR of the game to tie it 4-4

Nice call, Bob.

doesn’t think to PH for a .172 weak hitting infielder – Hu already hit a triple that means he’s done for the week.

Cubs had to burn Marmol, Howry and Wood in a game they led 4-0. The three most overworked pitchers in baseball.

I said he swung like Uggla earlier. I was wrong. That was David Wright. He obliterated that ball.

Can he play 2B?

I’ve been high on Mather for a long while, and right below this post at the top of the page were gut feelings about Franklin in the closer role…though Im sure many here had those same feelings. Obviously La Russa did’nt.

Too bad Motte is derailing right now, we’re probably stuck with Franklin for a while.
