Pitt 12, StL 11
that is just about the saddest loss i can remember in my 40 years of watching the cardinals.
i appreciate that most people are venting their frustrations appropriately.

no matter how big a lead is, just play things like u would any other day with the BP, I have not been a TLR advocate for a long time, but this takes the cake & Im tired of his bullshit when probably 2/3 of the people on this board could manage better than he does…start the bashing on me, but TLR sucks ass IMO, even though the players need to execute better as well.

2).The pen needs help but the problem is that it will need more than just one guy. Getting fuentes does not solve all the problems that this whole pen has caused.
3). I sort of agree with Raconteur in becoming a seller. I mean seriously, we could really load up witha trade of Lohse

Okay, so now I'm trying to cheer myself up.
This could have been worse. We could have just lost this way to the Cubs. And Jed could have hit the winning homerun. I think that would have been worse.

I agree, we should do the following:
Offer Lohse 3/33, if he takes it , sweet, we have a good pitcher locked up reasonable for the next 3 years.
If he doesn’t, trade him. He isn’t guaranteed to be a Type A Free Agent, thus we will lose him and get absolutely NOTHING (I don’t consider a Type B free agent anything worthwhile) in return.
Shop Ludwick around and see if a team like the Rays will bite and overpay a bit for him.

But without good starting pitching
you don’t even get into position to have blown saves. Bullpen arms can be restocked for cheap, number 1 and 2 type pitchers don’t fall out of trees. Adam is more than fine where he is.

I don't like trading for bullpen arms
as tonight proves, they are capable of stabbing you through the heart. We don’t need new personnel, we need our current personnel in the correct roles.
K-mac would be fine in the closer role, IMO, Izzy should be no where near a high leverage situation ever, ever ever again, and the hot hand between Franklin and Perez could be the eigth inning guy.

K mac would do fine as a closer
he has a 41-12 K:BB ratio and a 2.74 ERA. He has the skills and the temperament. He is also among the lead leaders in holds, for whatever thats worth (probably not much.)
he could handle it. tonight he was put in a more difficult spot than the typical save, even 1 run save.

Lohse won't take 3/33
They were saying today on the radio how he could 3/42 easy. Someone will over pay him so i think we should get what we can for him now

as much as i love what he has done
we should trade him while his value is so high, wait till the deadline, and hope our “returning” pitchers can bring us home in contention land

I know
that’s why I say you offer it to him, see if he takes it, and if he doesn’t TRAAAAAAAADE HIM
The guy has ridiculous value right now and just about any contending team would trade an arm and a leg to get him.

Ah perspective
How refreshing. Thanks. Pirate fans would give their right leg to have a season like 2005, which was a disappointment in these parts

Now you're just talking crazy. ;-)
Who knows what’ll happen between now and then… I’m kind of with Moboiler on this on. I’m fully embracing the suck tonight, but a break and a couple of wins – while not erasing the pain – would certainly dull it.

but this has taken over as the #1 all time worst loss ever in the history of cardinal baseball. I plan on using this night to get all my negativity out in one fell swoop

Oh, that would be awesome.......
We had one of Ken Griffey, Jr. when he was still with Seattle in our gym…..the kids love it. It’s all fun and games until they put another student on their shoulder to touch the hat….be careful with it if you get one, is all I’m saying.

Heh. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on the kiddos.
Although I do like the idea of combining kids’ heights – just to get them adding measurements.

I have the Carpenter growth poster in my classroom
We cut it into four pieces then ran it through the laminator. Then duct taped it together on the back and hung it in the back of the room. The kids are always checking their height and I don’t have to worry about it getting torn up. However, I do feel like I’ve been cut into four pieces and run through the laminator right about now.

Nice.
I guess they don’t make a Miles growth poster, huh? That would probably work for the real young ones – then they could switch to Carp or Mulder in the later grades.

He’s taller than I am.
But I bet they don’t make growth posters of him or our other middle infielders. ;-)

No.
Although he is one for one in save opportunities….and did have a perfect inning last time he worked out of the pen, and he even got a win.
I want them to quit messing around with this young man. They treat him like he’s not even part of the organization. Time to just go ahead and make him not part of the organization. They don’t think he’s good enough. Fine. Let him get on with his career somewhere else-they might look at him and see what he can do, instead of what he can’t., and proceed from there…...I happen to think it would make a world of difference for him.
You were kidding, anyway, right? Just trying to make me go off, right? Stop it!

On a side note,
Bud Light is just not as good as Killian Red. It just isn’t. One of my boys turned 21, and said “I’ll get the beer” and brought home this slop…...
