Well ladies and gentlemen,
It looks like we have a four inning ball game on our hands…
Did you know…
The Traffic Light, the modern day Bra, the Ford Model T, and Instant Coffee have all been invented since the Cubs last won a World Series…
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

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)

can you get me one too? ;)

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.”
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?
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.
it's a good deal
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!
yadi at .314 BA???
What kind of world are we living in? This is awesome!
Did you know…

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?"
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.
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?

Ripped his ass-pocket
on the slide. Here’s hoping Miles doesn’t get distracted by any shiny, shiny change out there by the bag.
(Bad day to pick on Miles.)
is there ever a good day to pick on Miles?
I love Miles
I will pick on him anytime he deserves it

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.
and he has
Miles has gone above and beyond anything I ever expected out of him.
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
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
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.
his glove has been big league ready for years
he just wasnt hitting which is why the dbacks gave up on him
Cards could use a guy who can
realistically play 3B

I've seen him at short

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
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.

if the run crosses

caught mclouth
in a pickle. the guy on third half assedly broke for home and miles panicked and threw home too soon. guy dives back to third safe and mclouth is safe on second.

let’s leave it at that
by Pitchers Hit Eighth on Jul 13, 2008 3:36 PM EDT up reply actions
McLouth got picked off
during the rundown, the runner on third made a move toward home. They threw to third to hold the runner. McLout advanced to second on THAT throw.
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
I"m pretty sure it does
so letting McLouth get the base probaly makes sense. All they probably could have done was let the runer get a little closer to home
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
Gotta love Miles' bat
but his fielding…BLECH!
For those watching on TV

by The Ghost of Todd Burns on Jul 13, 2008 3:38 PM EDT up reply actions
Exactly.
Now both corner outfielders are bad.
We are going to have 1 bad corner outfielder in this game no matter what with either Dunc or Mather having to play. But, with Ludwick in right, at least you limit the damage only to left field.
There really was no reason whatsoever to put Ludwick in left. We really didn’t gain anything … well, except a loss.
Mather is a bad OF?
I thought he looked pretty good out there.
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
he's no gold glover, but he's 3 times the OF duncan is.

by The Ghost of Todd Burns on Jul 13, 2008 3:42 PM EDT up reply actions
I agree
but he is not a great outfielder. He catches what is in his range, but his range is fairly limited.
right
the pitcher double was a fluke – they were playing in because it was a pitcher with no previous hits batting – had started 13 games in ‘05 or something and no hits bad
hard to fault him for that
by Pitchers Hit Eighth on Jul 13, 2008 3:43 PM EDT up reply actions
exactly
let’s not go crazy and start comparing his OF play to Duncan
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
I agree, but he plays right almost the entire year
and then he gets switched to left for no reason. It is almost like you are asking for trouble.
erm
no big surprise – remember who our manager is?
by Pitchers Hit Eighth on Jul 13, 2008 3:44 PM EDT up reply actions
He played in left
last time we were in Pittsburgh, and last night.
And in Colorado, I think.
Ludwick can easily handle left field, he’s just not doing well today.
the real question
what other OF do the Cardinals have that would’ve made that play?
the Burnett double would’ve been over everyone’s head – positioning
the last double was into the gap in a HUGE left field
I don’t see much wrong with what he’s done – save for falling down and bumbling around :)

How about handin' me another helpin' of those mashed taters...thank you very much!
Ok so he's lobbying now
but um, that’s way late.
we should have been scouting new arms at least a month ago.
guys like sabanthia and harden go to the cubs and brewers, and tony was still talking about hitters, even tho he’s got 4 guys nearly at 20 homers.
I guess it took them blowing a game with 22 hits for him to finally figure out that his pitchers are jokes.
And anyway…we should have gotten AJ instead of mulder in 04 anyway…. or was it 05?
has A.J. really been that much better than what we have?...I mean sure i'd love to have him,
but lets not act like he’s a cy young pitcher or even an all-star for that matter

he better get some next saturday
I am getting used to seeing him get 4 hit games
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
Can I make a crazy suggestion
based off of just seeing him in the Futures Game, but can we just go ahead and bring Salas up?
I will go back to reality now.
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
he is on the Springfield roster
and he looked pretty damn sharp in the part of the Futures Game I actually got to see

It hurts when
the ridiculous Pirates’ announcers proclaim that “we have them right where we want them with a 3 run lead.”
The time has come for someone to put his foot down and that foot is me

Miles was half-way into his slide when he decided to hit him, so the hit was pretty weak.
The catcher was well trained and just fell back like Matheny used to do as soon as Miles touched him at all. Got the out and saved his body.
Doumit is a much better catcher than Paulino for the Pirates.
