Game 64 Open Thread- 7th June, 2008

A.D.A.M. Chacon
5-3, 3.12 2-1, 4.41
Wainwright will be looking tonight to rebound from a truly heartbreaking loss his last time out against Pittsburgh. He was amazing through six, and then things went completely to hell in a hurry. He gave up the grand slam in the seventh, then came out in the eighth inning, when he probably shouldn't have been out there, and gave up that last run that ended up pinning the loss on him.
Chacon's ERA is finally starting to move closer to the kind of pitcher he really is. He's been very tough on the Cardinals this year, though. Hopefully, he continues to slide downward tonight.
In each of the three previous series the Cards and Astros have played this year, the Cardinals have lost the first game and won the last two. Now that's a trend I can get behind.

Check out the linescore on the KC/NYY game
Royals have had two separate four run leads disappear, took a 9th inning lead on the first HR Riviera’s allowed all year (just the second run!!), and immediately gave it back in the bottom of the 9th. Yanks still batting….
Hillman was an idiot for bringing in Tomko
that’s what lost them the game in my opinion. I have no clue why Tonmko is still in the majors.
Speaking of the American League
I wish we could have a DH (Mark Worrell) bat for our middle infielders.
I''m a Jenius!
If Adam Kennedy can make a MLB roster, anyone can!
Not just that
But watching Zambrono freak out after giving up that 3-run bomb was beautiful. I want to download that clip and put it on a loop. His anger sustains me.

hahaha
i just watched that. it was a thing of beauty. “hmmm, can’t break this gatorade cooler, how about this one. nope, can’t break that one either…hmmm, i’ll just throw my hat and stomp away.

what a loon
he didn’t even look that angry when he was still on the mound after the HR. Then he gets to the bench and goes nuts?
yep
good to see the cubbies come down to earth
Ankiel is Jesus!

Now we need to make them pay by gaining a game on them.
Cubs fans need to get off their high horse. The World series is still months away and everyone here is ready to buy their championship gear now. Anyone remember what happened to the Brewer’s last year??

anyone know when ank is going to play again
i miss that glove in center
i take your signatures and use them as away messages

here it is
Schumaker
Barton
Pujols
Ludwick
Glaus
Molina
Kennedy (WTF!?)
Wainwright
Izturis
Ankiel is Jesus!
by Cards Fan in Chitown on Jun 7, 2008 7:18 PM EDT reply actions
Glaus is heating up at a good time
Pujols and Ank are a bit gimpy. Luddy has been slowely cooling down, the pitching staff is achy…
It’s nice to see our big acquisition finally seeing the ball well. Hooray for warm weather! I just hope it doesn’t disappear when its chilly in the playoffs.
Does AP "look" gimpy?
Or are you just saying that based on the tight calf?
by StanTheManFan on Jun 7, 2008 7:29 PM EDT up reply actions
Just the tight calf
But little things like that can linger. I don’t expect him to his .100 for a month or anything, but little aches and pains can take an unseen toll. He went 0-4 last night, for example. How many times has he done that this season? Not many.
I suppose I should’ve said that a 80% Pujols can lead the team, but not carry it completely. The less Pu feels he HAS to do, the better he does. When no one else is pulling their weight, he starts pressing and expanding the zone, a la 2007. It’ll be nice to get some support from Glaus.
+1 on the support
but I’m more concerned about whether the calf problem is real. AP is NEVER completely healthy; it’s the nature of the beast. But not every tight muscle is a problem (he certainly has muscles to spare).

does Skip know
he isn’t a power hitter. Two absolute bombs to deep center in the last 3 games
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
This is way more fun than last night
(But then Wainer’s last start was a lot of fun until the 7th inning…not to be a downer…)
Yeah, I would love to see him come back around again
after his hot start followed by prolonged slump.
by BTown Birds fan on Jun 7, 2008 7:35 PM EDT up reply actions
wow, SKIPPY showing some serious power
dude’s done that a lot this season.
it’s about freaking time we beat up on Chacon.
nice hit Barton.
i smell chicken
bring the pain LUD.
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
Cardinals hit for the cycle this inning
SWEEEEET!!!!

Awesome. Freaking awesome.
Only thing better would be if this were against the Cubs (or in the playoffs (or both)).
Troy was robbed, some one call the cops
great inning boys.
keep tossing zero’s Wagonmaker

Still room for improvement, though
Glaus shouldn’t have settled for one HR that inning…
That curveball is electric tonight.
Hope he can continue to use it effectively.
by Cardsfan_inCHI on Jun 7, 2008 7:44 PM EDT up reply actions
just off LUD's glove
i thought he had it for sure. he was playing way to deep for Brad. dude’s 65 & has no power.
even in the Juice Box.

Chacon must have really pissed off
the manager and pitching coach. They are hanging him out there to dry. Anyone even up in the pen yet?
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
Most stupider hit and run ever
with AK having 2 strikes and Molina on first?? Sometimes I am absolutely shocked by Tony
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
makes sense cus kennedy is a good double play candidate
but it obviously backfired
They say I look like yadier molina
I wonder why they didn't have AK bunt
to get Molina to 2nd for the better hitter following him.
by StanTheManFan on Jun 7, 2008 7:54 PM EDT up reply actions
you are correct
that was a double play, or did I just think it was?
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
Well a hit-and-run
at least ensures Molina will make it to second on a hit.
by Red in Chicago on Jun 7, 2008 7:55 PM EDT up reply actions
a hit and run is fine
I just prefer for it not to happen when AK has 2 strikes on him. His swing is full of holes these days
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
uh, YADDA
Lou Brock you are not.
you still suck big ones AK
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
careful Wagonmaker
be very careful
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
yeah, that popped into my head too
i even thought about dropping in a wraskley wrabbit
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
anyone know why the call it being recalled from the minors?
i mean bogg has never played in the majors, yet he was officially “recalled”
nice DP AK
yeah, i said it. good play dude. you’re not totally worthless.
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
another intentional walk?
holy crap,, HTown has no stones.
bring the pain LUD
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
Wagonmaker looks like $ tonight
i better not have just jinxed him
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
Nah. But if you had said
he looked like $$$$ tonight—THAT would be a jinx.
by Red in Chicago on Jun 7, 2008 8:17 PM EDT up reply actions
oh good
so if its more than 3 $$$ it’s a jinx?
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
Yep.
Unless it’s Albert or, I suppose, Berkman.

Chacon's fastball is only showing
in the mid- to high-80s. He must have done something to deserve this punishment.
apparently in his last start, he imploded in a inning
when the pitching coach came out to talk to him…chacon went off on or showed up the coach….so yea, he is being punished
that lady got smoked in the stands
good thing she’s OK.
i really hope it doesn’t take a death like what happened here in ohio in the NHL, for MLB to put more nets up. they really are tempting fate by not having them up to at least the first part of the dugouts.
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
my sister want's me to take my 4 & 3yr old nephews to Buch III this summer
or up to the Jake & catch an Indians game.
i’m not going if we can’t set behind the nets. it’s way to dangerous to have little kids sit where they could get hit.
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
yea or sit in the outfield....or nose bleeds
i went to a redbirds game last week and a lady got pegged…there was a crowd around her for like 25 minutes
a woman almost got
killed at dodger stadium. that should have been enough
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
wow, i wonder why no one is talking about that?
thats a big deal.
put up the nets MLB.
i want to sit close so the boys can see what’s going on. it’s going to be their first game so i’d like for them to remember it & enjoy it if they can.

i never stopped believing in santa glaus...
but i’m starting to think maybe i agree with the proposed AK ban after all
hmmm
it’s saturday, how am I not blacked out on mlb.tv? does it not start till later?
Obama/Pujols 2008.
i think they only blackout
while fox’s game of the week is on
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
hmmm
“for each Saturday game beginning April 19, with a scheduled start time after 1:10 PM ET or before 7:05 PM ET, and for each Sunday game that begins after 5:00 PM ET, all scheduled webcasts of such games will be blacked out.”
Ah, i guess it started to late in ET. Thank god for that, wouldn’t want to miss this game.

Wainer looked more dissapointed than hurt
Looked like he didn’t want to have to come out with such a little thing…lets hope it’s a little thing.
