Well ladies and gentlemen,

It looks like we have a four inning ball game on our hands…

I'm ready for a 3-day break

I hope that the whole team (other than the ones in NYC) stay completely away from baseball for those three days. Take their mind off of it and everything.

Hey, that means we can turn it over to the ever so relaible bullpen

40th anniversary of Gibson's 1.12 ERA, Think he could pitch in the bullpen now?

Way to go

Yadi

whoever was talking about the “true leader” of this team – spot on

Yeah, it has seemed that way to me since about the middle of last year.

when it became clear the Edmonds was out. I think he really showed himself as the leader in our world series run.

time for me to get a new jersey

(since the Rolen one obviously has expired)

brilliant

can you get me one too? ;)

by Pitchers Hit Eighth on Jul 13, 2008 3:21 PM EDT up 0 recs

Well, my first choice is a new 40+ inch HDTV.

But, if the old ball and chain does not get me that, then a Yadi jersey would be a nice backup.

I would almost rather have it say “Yadi” though, than “Molina.”

by Egyptian on Jul 13, 2008 3:23 PM EDT up 0 recs

go with the

vizio 42 inch full 1080p hdtv from wal mart. under a grand and a great great tv.

by lopey986 on Jul 13, 2008 3:24 PM EDT up 0 recs

Thanks.

I just had a Sanyo go out on me, so I am in the market for a better brand.

I was thinking Samsung. What is the rep on Vizio?

by Egyptian on Jul 13, 2008 3:25 PM EDT up 0 recs

samsung

makes some BEAUTIFUL tvs, albeit a bit more expensive than vizio.

by lopey986 on Jul 13, 2008 3:27 PM EDT up 0 recs

I know, but they are not as bad as Sony in price,

and seem to come with similar quality.

H.H. Gregg seems to have good prices on Samsungs, but I don’t think I will find anything 40+ inches cheaper than 1000, so I may check out the deal at Wal-mart.

by Egyptian on Jul 13, 2008 3:29 PM EDT up 0 recs

i bought a motorcycle about a month ago so i blew the money i planned on spending on a big screen…but from all the reviews as well as recommendations from friends and some guys at various electronics stores…if you are on a budget and want a very nice big screen hdtv then vizio is a good way to go.

i’m planning on waiting for black friday to see what kind of tv deals come out, but if there is nothing better than the vizio i’m gonna end up picking that up.

Mitsubishi DLP TVs

If you want to go bigger, Mitsubishi makes an excellent DLP television. I bought 12867/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do”>one of these 2 years ago, and the picture is so good my dad and brother in law both went and bought the same thing after seeing it in my basement :)

OT: damn prices have really come down lately. I paid $2300 for that tv, and now it’s down under a grand!

I have heard good things about Mitsubishi as well, but there don’t seem to be as many of them on the market.

god, people really sound like idiots when

using W-L as a valid stat for pitching. Kyle Loshe is a pimp, but he’s not an allstar.

"How depressing is it being you? Would you equate it to being a lifelong Cubs fan?"

by rocKStark5 on Jul 13, 2008 3:16 PM EDT 0 recs

he is 10-2 with a 3.39 era...

what more does he need to do to be considered an all star? i haven’t looked at the rotation for the nl but i’m willing to bet his numbers are better than at least 1 or 2 of the starters.

by lopey986 on Jul 13, 2008 3:19 PM EDT up 0 recs

11-2

even better

...

by lopey986 on Jul 13, 2008 3:20 PM EDT up 0 recs

he is certainly better than Marmol

or better than he has been recently.
It reminds me of the time Fuentes made the team…

right after being removed fromt he closer role.

I also think Loshe isnt an all star, just because he just isnt that talented of a pitcher, I know he is having a great year and im glad and I appreciate all he does for this team and what he presance has meant…but he isnt a Peavy or a Lincecum or whatever.

the ASG (IMO) is for the Pujols and the HanRams and the true superstars not the hot half guys…

there was an article recently about the forget able first half all stars, I wish I could remember where it was. I mean wasnt Loshe relegated to the pen a year or two ago, or is my memory gone?

(Bad day to pick on Miles.)

is there ever a good day to pick on Miles?

by mattyfrommo on Jul 13, 2008 3:26 PM EDT up 0 recs

I was a fan

when he was expected to end up at AAA the spring we traded Big Tubby Ray for he and the Exploding Belly-Button. Thought he’d be a good addition to the ML bench.

by liam on Jul 13, 2008 3:28 PM EDT up 0 recs

and he has

Miles has gone above and beyond anything I ever expected out of him.

It'd be nice to have a power-bat

in one of our MIF backups. Too bad Barden doesn’t qualify.

by liam on Jul 13, 2008 3:30 PM EDT up 0 recs

i still havent figured out why he doesnt

isn’t it time he gets another chance up ?
He is having a pretty damn good year down in AAA, it doesn’t make sense to not atl least let him see if he can help the Cards.

* sarcasm might be involved in this comment

by mattyfrommo on Jul 13, 2008 3:35 PM EDT up 0 recs

He's out of options

so when he comes up, he’d need to stay up.

Makes sense to give him as much time as possible learning the middle infield before bringing him up in September.

by liam on Jul 13, 2008 3:36 PM EDT up 0 recs

his glove has been big league ready for years

he just wasnt hitting which is why the dbacks gave up on him

by FunkeeC on Jul 13, 2008 3:37 PM EDT up 0 recs

He was a third basemen, only

he’s converting to utility

realistically play 3B

by Pitchers Hit Eighth on Jul 13, 2008 3:39 PM EDT up 0 recs

I've seen him at short

and watched him wave at balls bouncing by to either side. Range and first step weren’t impressive that day. Hope it wasn’t representative.

by random on Jul 13, 2008 3:54 PM EDT up 0 recs

well that does make sense

how in the world do you find how many options he has left?

* sarcasm might be involved in this comment

by mattyfrommo on Jul 13, 2008 3:37 PM EDT up 0 recs

I don't know where they're posted

but we had to DFA him and let him clear waivers to send him down after last year, so he’s definitely out. I imagine the Snakes added him to their 40-man after his 2004 season.
