Game 96 Open Thread: July 13 2008

damn, he was hot too

replaced garcia on the world roster

but he was selected. Also, Salas is pitching for the World team.

But Rasmus is on the DL and Garica is now with the big club.

Colby Rasmus – OF Jul. 12 – 10:59 am et

Colby Rasmus met with team doctors in St. Louis on Friday about continuing soreness in his groin.
The medical staff was able to rule out a sports hernia and are calling it a groin strain. Rasmus hasn’t played since July 1, but should resume baseball activites on Thursday.

I like him playing shallow. Those little dinks get caught instead of the opposition getting cheap hits.

Glad I kept my mouth shut.

pitches 7 and 5 were stikes. Pitch number 2 was also boarded line.

He has just been guessing all year. When he gets a strike down the middle and takes it, he spins out of the box all disgusted.

The kid cannot recognize a pitch to hit before it hits the catchers glove. For a power hitter, that is simply unacceptable at any level of organized ball. But, Duncan is a special case apparently. I guess it is his defense that keeps him on the MLB roster.

it will be the first loss since last night

i will have my second turkey sandwich since lunch

he is dealing

How is he doing these days? Is he playing in the majors or minors somewhere? Anyone know?

It is already a big game.

I am not sure how much better Yadi is going to do and he was really not all that close this year.

to ground out and got the second batter at 0-2. lookin pretty good.

Just K’ed LaPorta on a high heater…

got the walk

Gameday doesn’t tell me any more than that

is on the DL in triple a. he was invited but was replaced due to injury. jaime garcia was also replaced since he is with the big club now.

I didn’t realize their organist played “What do you do with a drunken sailor”...I thought that was pretty awesome

what tickets for the futures game run? doesn’t look like there is a lot of people there this year and i’d absolutely love to go watch that over an all star game.

It was great. Lots of free stuff, etc. I’m definitely going next year.

Joel may need to go all nine just to be safe

he cant hit a lefty to save his life

If Barton was still around, I’d find it hard to make an argument against starting him over skippy

But TLR seems set on playing Dunc against Lefties with Kennedy leading off instead of Schu and no one knows why

Just hit it at someone. It was a little high to do too much with.

That is a good example of where Pujols (well, not the Pujols of the last couple weeks) would have laid off even though he guessed right and waited for a better pitch.

They clearly pitched around Glaus to get to Duncan.

once he is in cardinal red.

i would be at the ballpark every weekend regardless of how good the team was. you can’t even go to the movies that cheap anymore.

He would look good in the BOB :D

nice at bat. usa team needs to get some runs here.

so that he would have more chances to bat. He’s loving this and wondering why he didn’t play in the NL before…

welcome to real baseball.

but they signed him to a multi-year deal i believe

Marmol hasnt done anything good the last month and a half

he blows a big lead yesterday and is rewarded with a spot in the AS Game.

but we certainly at least need a little time off.

they’d probably have the best record in the majors.

i’d be shopping minor league position players for major league ready starters. they aren’t that far off, if any, offensively. they could even give up one of their ml position players, which is no doubt what they are looking for for bay or nady. reyes, schu, +? for bay or nady?
