Sooooo

we let Garcia hit for himself, then used a relief pitcher.

pretty dumb

Short bench

and not a high-leverage at-bat. Let the kid hit.

by StanTheManFan on Jul 20, 2008 3:53 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Horton speculated

they’d use him to pitch to the lefty Giles… but changed his mind.

by liam on Jul 20, 2008 3:54 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I was wondering about that

maybe Tony thinks we’e going to extras….?

by nota bene on Jul 20, 2008 3:53 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

yeah

he could have at least gave looper an at bat.

by adiueordie on Jul 20, 2008 3:54 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I was wondering that same thing.

I guess they want to let him get a bat in during his first start.

hey yall

so garcia gets to hit for himself and then comes out for jiminez. wtf?

by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 20, 2008 3:53 PM EDT   0 recs

I may die a little inside

if we lose to the Padres when they are throwing a guy with a 5+ era and with a lineup that doesn’t include Adrian Gonzalez

boo cubs, hooray beer

by Raconteur on Jul 20, 2008 3:53 PM EDT   0 recs

eh, he's a non factor

he occasionally runs into a homerun, but for the most part he sucks

boo cubs, hooray beer

by Raconteur on Jul 20, 2008 3:55 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I disagree

He’s having a down year, but Greene can hit—and is an elite fielder.

by liam on Jul 20, 2008 3:56 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

on a home run to the pitcher no less

but we do have one big bullet on our bench left though. i forgot his name.

by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 20, 2008 3:55 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

oh yeah

i don’t think that was the one i was thinking of though.

Am I taking crazy pills

or did Kelvin Jiminez just have a 1-2-3 inning?

Do Work

by iwannarock24 on Jul 20, 2008 3:55 PM EDT   0 recs

you're taking crazy pills

he walked a guy

boo cubs, hooray beer

by Raconteur on Jul 20, 2008 3:55 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

you're taking crazy pills

because there was a walk thrown in there.

by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 20, 2008 3:56 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

crazy pills

there was a walk to headley

by Evilfrog on Jul 20, 2008 3:56 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Wow

I set myself up for that one. That’s what I get for not paying attention.

Jimenez

was mighty effective in that inning. Top of the order up.

by liam on Jul 20, 2008 3:55 PM EDT   0 recs

because

Hal McRae is a horrible hitting coach

and you better watch out, or he’ll throw a telephone at you, if telephones still exist.

by Evilfrog on Jul 20, 2008 4:00 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah screw him

5th ranked offense in the league. Awful.

gameday

was showing his fastball sitting at 94/95 mph. Any reason to believe that’s inaccurate? I didn’t realize he could throw that hard.

by Handsome B Wonderful on Jul 20, 2008 3:58 PM EDT   0 recs

he’s a pretty good thrower.

by adiueordie on Jul 20, 2008 3:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

wow

the shortstop looked like he got shot.

by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 20, 2008 3:58 PM EDT   0 recs

did Shannon just say

Mac was starting tomorrow?

by the Tewk on Jul 20, 2008 3:58 PM EDT   0 recs

shannon

Has been drinking to much frosty cold ones. Pineiro is going tomorrow.

Linecum is pitching for the Gaints todady

by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 20, 2008 3:59 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

did you see the new rotation thing they’re doing? bush starts at home, mcclung starts on the road.

by adiueordie on Jul 20, 2008 4:01 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Are you serious?

Yost is being boldy experimental in this playoff run.

by liam on Jul 20, 2008 4:02 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Tying run

at the plate.

by liam on Jul 20, 2008 3:59 PM EDT   0 recs

ryan ludwick
rick ankiel
troy glaus

by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 20, 2008 4:03 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Heh

Now watch Glaus walk and Dunk hit one out.

by liam on Jul 20, 2008 4:04 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I'd be okay with that.

that means we’re tied!

by Raconteur on Jul 20, 2008 4:00 PM EDT   0 recs

damnit

let’s go roy!

by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 20, 2008 4:00 PM EDT   0 recs

i hope barton comes off the DL soon

because we need him to start in place of skippy and/or ankiel against lefties.

by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 20, 2008 4:02 PM EDT   0 recs

he’ll go to memphis for thirty days when he comes off the dl.

by adiueordie on Jul 20, 2008 4:02 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

in that case

why is mather in memphis?

by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 20, 2008 4:03 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

because flores and jimenez are more deserving of a spot on the roster…

...apparently.

by adiueordie on Jul 20, 2008 4:04 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

barf.

AK needs to be added to that list.

by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 20, 2008 4:05 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

20 days

Ankiel isn’t bad enough against Leftys to sit.

by Evilfrog on Jul 20, 2008 4:04 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

why 20?

its a 30 day rehab, right?

by adiueordie on Jul 20, 2008 4:05 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

30 for pitchers

20 for everyone else.

Makes since, starters only get to work every five days.

by liam on Jul 20, 2008 4:05 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

didn't encarnacion

spend 30 days rehabbing at the beginning of last year?

by adiueordie on Jul 20, 2008 4:06 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

he is still on our 40 man roster.

"When you're in a slump, it's almost as if you look out on the field and it's one big glove. " -Vance Law.
go cards.

by thecoolalonzo on Jul 20, 2008 4:07 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

that wasn't what i was asking

but he’s on the 60 day disabled list, so he doesn’t really take up a spot.

by adiueordie on Jul 20, 2008 4:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i think he'll be off after this year.

something to do with the contract.

by thecoolalonzo on Jul 20, 2008 4:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Only if

He was put back on the DL during his rehab.

by liam on Jul 20, 2008 4:10 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

and a pathetic AB by Ankiel

these guys forget how to hit when Pujols isn’t around

boo cubs, hooray beer

by Raconteur on Jul 20, 2008 4:02 PM EDT   0 recs

no

they just don’t get the meat they would get with pujols in there.

by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 20, 2008 4:04 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Ankiel

Does have an OPS of .999 today.

by Evilfrog on Jul 20, 2008 4:06 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He had an OPS of .000 in that AB

you know

we might all hate jiminez but if he throws two scoreless innings it would be a big lift.

by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 20, 2008 4:06 PM EDT   0 recs

I don't hate him

he’s just frustrating. Pitches well in Memphis, bad for the Cardinals.

Won’t throw a pitch through Baek’s ear…

by liam on Jul 20, 2008 4:07 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

maybe we could play some games in memphis.
