It didn't use to be this way

used to be we had a very talented team that could overcome my bad luck. Now, I’m too much of a tipping point.

The only way we win now is when Gary Bennett kicks the ball out of the catcher’s glove at homeplate.

Ditto

We won both of the Cards-Giants games I went to in SF in August (or maybe July) 2004, just none of the ones I’ve been to since then.

The first 2004 game was particularly fun because we were behind early on and when we started to come back a Cubs fan sitting behind me just started shaking his head, saying “This Cards team. They just find a way to win. Depressing.” Those were good times.

Heh

Trying to figure out which game to go to in Atlanta myself. I can only probably make it to one, it’s about an hour/hour and a half from here.

dude, it's a slump. Every single person in the MIF has gone through it.

It doesn’t make any sense to bust on Kennedy one month, Iz2 the next, and Ryan the next. They’re all slappy singles hitters. Come on, three weeks ago, the board was aflutter with talk of replacing Izturis with Ryan as the starter.

by tom s. on Jul 11, 2008 8:37 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Maybe it's a slump

and maybe we just have three middle infielders who can’t hit.

well, I definitely agree we could use some help in the MIF,

but since we need both a 2B and an SS each night, we gotta play at least one of the three. so I don’t see why Ryan is so much worse than the alternative.

The reason for all of the lineup combinations is due to one thing

We’re required to have three spots per night that gives away outs. Per Mo and Co. Therefore we are trying to be so creative to hide this very obligation on a game by game basis.

is that like a handicap in golf? is that one of the new MLB parity programs?

for every year out of the last five your team has gone to the postseason, you have to carry that many batters with an OPS of less than .650?

by tom s. on Jul 11, 2008 8:39 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

We don't try to hide it very well

didn’t we have one night vs a LHP: Kennedy, Pitcher, Ryan, Skippy, Miles all in a row?

Why has Lohse been successful this season, according to Al Hrabosky? During the offseason, when no one was interested, he looked in the mirror. That’s all.

and the first one is “License and registration… chicken fucker.” Made me laugh out loud. I think I’m in the mood to really enjoy a movie like that right now.
