Is a five run lead in the ninth enough for this bullpen?

only for Garcia

although I’m thinking we get Thompson.

by enoscountry on Jul 13, 2008 4:30 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Aren't they planning to use Thompson as a starter in place of Mulder's spot?

3 days off

I thought they were skipping that spot?

No

Garcia starting next Sunday

I think it would be funny if TLR went out to close

and when he yanks his glasses off, his eyes are on FIRE like that big thing in the Lord of the Rings!

Bases loaded one out

We should be able to add to the amount of runs it takes for another walk-off

MLB Mosaic

I’m trying to watch the game on a free trial of MLB Mosaic, but whenever I alt-tab to read VEB, it keeps crashing on me. (64-bit Windows Vista) Anyone else having similar problems recently?

Not too sure you will find too many people running Windows Vista 64 bit.

I have heard there is more problems with the 64 bit version than the 32.

I fully expect Iz2 to go yard here

if that ball in the dirt he swung at would have bounced a little higher.

by chicagocardfan on Jul 13, 2008 4:34 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

IZ2

Has been up in some important spots today and has been unproductive. He doesn’t need to be great on offense, but you would think the guy could at least hit a flyball.

I just watched Schumaker's catch on gameday highlights

that was unbelievable

big mistake in my mind – if he struggles who ever comes in will have no chance.

gotta be miles

5 rbi and a save, gotta be a record that lasts forever

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you haven't grasped the situation!

Next time in STL

Check out Square One in the Lafayette Square neighborhood. Their brewery is out in wine country, Augusta, I think.

Their Scotch Ale is excellent.

Was that catch at the wall?

Gameday shows the out over the wall, but no one is saying anything about Ludwick robbing Nady of a HR, so I am confused…

About 2 feet from the top of the wall.

Ludwick caught it even with the top of the wall, but just in front of it.

Close to the wall

but well in play. A fan would be facing assault charges if he reached over to get it.
