that's ok.
but i was REALLY curious what his line was with a runner on 3rd and 3 outs…

So in other pitcher injury news...
Ty Johnson is feeling good after “three trays of stuff” was pulled out of his shoulder. He is thinking of using it to make a snow globe, as I hear it.
Meanwhile, Mark Mulder has been prescribed to take two weeks off before throwing his career in the toilet.
The St. Louis Cardinals and pitching injuries go together like gin and tonic.
0-5 comeback!

if he’d hit in his next two or three opps with RISP, he’ll be up to career rates for the season.

I may be a day late and a dollar short, but does anyone watch the Deadliest Catch? They have a crab boat call the Fierce Alligance skippered by Tony LaRussa. I’m not making this up!
Hope Wellemeyer can build off those last 5 innings
and prove me wrong about being injured.

ahhh, now i get it.
put in randy to set up springer for the double play.
saves springer some pitches.
good thinking!

Not that I don't want Springer in the game
I’d just prefer him for the 8th.

I love that
then why didn’t he use him w/ Gerut? or stick w/ Wellemeyer for that matter?
Stuff like this makes my head explode!
you guys can rip Flo all you want
but those last 2 pitches looked good from my living room.
THE SKIP IS LEGIT!!

Gameday had that second pitch to Gonzalez
following a very weird trajectory.
you're right.
he doesn’t strike out every batter he faces. my bad.
"Them Cubbies can kiss my ass" -Dizzy Dean
So we were so worried about Jody Gerut that
we used a LOOGY against him, but Giles and Gonzalez don’t warrant it?
by Hardcore Legend on Jul 19, 2008 6:13 PM EDT reply actions
I'll ask again
if you’re going to use Springer vs. Giles (a good idea, I might add) why wouldn’t you use him up 1 vs. Jody Gerut?
How often does a guy make a great catch

anks a jehovahs witness?
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
Just flipped to the Cubs game
pre-game show ended with the desk host attempting to quell panic over the Cardinals and Brewers playing so well.
I'd still feel safe if I were a Cubs fan (shudder)
But there would be a few beads of sweat in my palms

Great win
Another comeback win!
Gutsy performance by Wellemeyer tonight.
I think it’s only a matter of time before Flo is back on the DL or down in Memphis..
Middle of the order is SICK right now.. would be nice if Ryan could start hitting and Skip could get hot again.
THE SKIP IS LEGIT!!
Seriously... what were Rich Harden's parents thinking?!?!?!
he get pulled early?
he usually faces one batter anyway. i wasnt listening so fill me in

Came in to face a lefty
walked him, although one of the balls was a pretty good pitch.
Villone came in with the bases loaded. (Springer allowed back-to-back hits after Flo’s walk. Ludwick deked a runner back for the second time of the day to keep the lead runner from scoring on the second hit.) Villone struck out the lefty he faced, working him up-and-in and low-and-away, then got a 2-out flyball to end the threat.
Flo is going to be DFAd
in my humble opinion.

That would be awesome
I don’t think we’ve seen a full-blown meltdown from him so far this year. I’d hate to think he’s grown out of those.

He had a meltdown in LA last month
It just goes to show that this guy can be beat…..I would think the Cards after facing him several times now could learn how to hit this guy. The Astros are being patient and not swinging at the 1st pitch every time like the Cards do against him…..
Morning, guys. Looks like I missed a hell of a game. Good show for pulling this one out - with a bit of help from Albert.
Off target – I was late in Bangkok watching fantastic jazz singer, Carmen Bradford. She’s headed to Chicago if anyone is a jazz fan.

I think that's bad poop
Tom Haudricourt’s been on this and he’s thinking it’s for someone else, possibly a Giant.
Ray Durham OR Jack Taschner
is what Haudricourt speculates. Brewers seem pretty well put together from the left side of the ‘pen, so Taschner doesn’t make all that much sense. I guess Durham would be an offensive upgrade over Counsell, but he can’t play second well or short at all.
Sergio Romo?
Andrew Brown?
If the trade is with the A’s. He’s got a sparkling ERA supported more by very low BABIP than his fielding independent contributions. (A 2.08 run/9 difference between ERA and FIP)
I’d think the A’s could get more for him than just the speedy A+ OF, though.
From MLB TradeRumors
“WSSP 1250 AM in Milwaukee is reporting that Milwaukee Brewers and the San Francisco Giants are close to a deal that would send Milwaukee’s Double A Catcher Angel Salome, Single A prospect Outfielder/speedster Darren Ford, and Triple A First Baseman Brad Nelson to the Giants for Second Baseman Ray Durham, Reliever Jack Taschner, and a PTBNL.”
FWIW

That'd be a good trade
for the Giants. They got their ML-ready “left-handed hitting 1B” in Nelson, a good hitting catcher in Salome, and a potential leadoff hitter down the road for spare parts and dumped some salary.
Word
not a bad trade for the Giants at all, Salome looks like he’s going to be a real good catcher. That being said, i’d of kinda liked to land Jack Taschner on the Cards.
boo cubs, hooray beer
Bad trade for us
Ray Durham = Cardinals killer.

see i heard/read this one
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2008/07/street-to-brewe.html
Brewers beat writer Tom Haudricourt thinks Oakland closer Huston Street is Milwaukee-bound. He says the word on the street is outfielder Darren Ford, 22, is the price. Ford was pulled from Brevard County’s lineup before its game against Clearwater. Says Haudricourt:
The fact that Ford was pulled from the lineup makes me believe something could be up. He has no injury that I know of.
Baseball America did not list Ford among the Brewers’ top 10 prospects before this season, but he was named the organization’s fastest baserunner and best defensive outfielder. So far this year in the Florida State League, Ford is hitting .232 with a .321 OBP and a .307 SLG. He’s got 44 steals in 87 games.

Click on the link to that Brewers blog in the article though
You’ll see he’s had several updates since then, saying he doesn’t think Street is the target

Kerry Wood may have to hit the DL because of his blister that isn’t healing.

Your affection may dry up
when you see the fans in their left field.
In tonight’s game, they showed the girls/women dressed up like pumas out there. I don’t get it.
Puma is Berkman's nickname
or something like that

From his wikipedia page
However, he is now most popularly known as the “The Big Puma.” Before the 2006 season started, in an interview with a local Houston sports radio station, Lance was asked to coin a new nickname for himself. He sarcastically responded that he played baseball like a big puma, that is, he is fierce, sleek, and powerful, yet quick on his feet. And despite its comedic origins, Houston fans and media latched onto “The Big Puma.” With his outstanding start in 2008, this nickname also became known on a national level.
Fat Elvis is my favorite too. And I think you’d actually look less out of place dressing up as Elvis than as a puma…

So, if Carp is supposed to be back
(knocks on wood) barring injury on August 9th or 15th, when is Wainwright supposed to return? Is he first back? Is he going to go out on rehab assignments or are they just going to have him throw some bullpen sessions and simulated games?
By this time next month, maybe would don’t have to worry about Wellemeyer and Looper not being very good (as of late).
Rotation of this anyone?
Wainwright
Lohse
Carpenter
Pineiro
Boggs/Wellemeyer/Looper/Garcia
by Hardcore Legend on Jul 19, 2008 9:32 PM EDT reply actions
1-2-3 in that list looks pretty tough to me for '09 too!
(That is, if Lohse it not just doing it with smoke and mirrors this year, Waino has no ill effects, and Carp is close to his previous wonderfulness.)
