i find it funny the announcers were talking about how ludwick couldnt POSSIBLY provide protection for albert and how he may just be a fluke.

i think me may have heard them.

i'm calling a cylce for skip

i posted this on the other thread, why is it called being recalled from the minors for someone who has never been to the majors before?

skippy boy

skip is going for the cycle. only needs a homer.

has there been a lot of skip love, or are people still sour?

I have always loved skip

purely plutonic love mind you

i wish we could figure out a way to score in more than 1 inning.

If we score seven runs in that inning

Im fine with just scoring in one inning

That triple's a pretty tall order

not that I wouldn’t love it if it happened

how bout

a skip one. he’s already got the triple and just needs the homer

by soccerfreak on Jun 7, 2008 8:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Seems to have something wrong with his finger

they just pulled him out. No official word on what happened

by bjork24 on Jun 7, 2008 8:50 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Pulled. Apparent injury.

What I’m getting here doesn’t have details on what happened. Blister, maybe?

that’s what the astros announcers think…

by NorseKaiser on Jun 7, 2008 8:52 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Well forget getting another 2nd baseman

we’re going to be in the market for another starter soon the way things are going.

Mike Shannon is speculating

that it’s a torn fingernail or something minor

Also some Shannon account of pitchers missing six weeks with blisters. . .

His sidekick today is weak? Who is in the booth with Shannon?

next question

I’m going to be in St. Louis for the July 6th Cubs game. I haven’t been to St. Louis in 10 years. You guys on this board are basically my only contacts there and I’m not that familiar with this message board. I’d like to know some good local favorite restaurants to eat at that aren’t expensive and aren’t fine dining, plane tix cost too much for that. Is there anyway to post where I could get some feedback? Maybe some good ideas. I’m going to be in town for a couple of days and I hear there are some good ribs down there.

uhhh

can’t remember. just remember walking up the street the other way from my hotel (millennium hotel) and finding a place that had a pretty good live band and nice atmosphere

that's Al's joint

if you want a good STL site, go here and here.

they should give you all the info you need on the places to go in the STL

i dont care if its a 27 run inning

you need to keep it going for a full nine or the other team may find a way to get back into it.

that's what I'm saying

I’ve been harping on this a couple of times in different game threads. they seem to score early then don’t get any runs the rest of the game

by Cards Fan in Chitown on Jun 7, 2008 9:13 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

We end up loosing this game...we are going to be tailspinning big time this month

I’m afraid….especially if we lose anymore starters for more than a week or more.

by KYCards on Jun 7, 2008 9:05 PM EDT   0 recs

No, great d

Hit Kmac, slowed it down and Izturis almost made a nice barehanded play. Balls are just finding holes this inning.

lets hope yadi can pull one into the (really) cheap seats

payback for Berkman's "not tagged" at third?

Because it sure didn’t look like he was pulled off.

Is that Ricky Vaughn pitching?

From the gameday pitcture, the indication is: yes

Kennedy

gets his own personal relief pitcher? I didn’t realize he was so dangerous.

by Red in Chicago on Jun 7, 2008 9:18 PM EDT   0 recs

as the first pitch showed

he’s not.

Kennedy is SOOOOOO done.

The time has come for someone to put his foot down and that foot is me

by heathen on Jun 7, 2008 9:20 PM EDT   0 recs

I feel like if the Astros had no fielders and Kennedy got a base hit

he’d still be tagged out somehow, he’s just that bad.

now, now

before today, his OPS was all the way back up to .600.

at least he’s got the moral high ground because of his honesty, er, maybe not. How old is he again?

I hate this stadium

Perhaps the outfield wall should just be in a zigzag shape, while we’re at it. Put thee zigs in. Have the closest points be about 350, and the farthest be about 450. It’ll be FUN!!!

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

and you can have a retracting drawbridge over the moat at 250' in CF

Just think of all the sportscenter highlights as players make diving splash catches

its a pretty nice stadium to be in, but the outfield dimensions ARE def. a joke.

The fan area is great--there really are no bad seats, lots of amenities, etc.

the playing field is absurd

why the heck is there a pole in the middle of the field is what I'm wondering

Forget the crawford boxes and the hill (FYI there is a reason no modern stadiums have a hill aside from houston), what is the purpose of the pole other than to injure someone.

by TheBirds on Jun 7, 2008 9:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

It's padded, now! When they dislocate their shoulder on diving catches

at least it’ll be comfortably padded!

just be glad...

that the players association nixed the corn stalks, petting zoo, and mine field that were in the original plans for the outfield.
