Game 100 Overflow 2/Postgame

Nastia_tiny by stlcardinalsfang on

Go Cards ! Go Cards!

Grand slam by Aaron Miles on a 2-1 count!!!! Cards win 9-5!

The Cardinals are late-inning wonders so far in the 2nd half --- 4 runs in the 8th inning the other night, 7 runs after the 8th inning today. But Isringhausen . . . . . great run but it's over, big guy.

Use this thread to talk about whatever you want. That was a helluva game! The team is 14 games over for the first time all year.

Woohoo!!!!!

That was just about the most improbable ending for this game I could have thought of. It’s like that walk-off slam by Eck a few years ago.

Thompson for the win!

They should give that win to Pujols for the plays he made at first in the top of the inning.

i shat myself..

As seen on Bleed Cubbie Blue message board... "Wait until the Cardinals call up Rasmus..."

Was that a safety slam?

My Goodness. I can only imagine what Shannon did in the booth.

it wasnt that special but...

he said “and that wins the game” before the ball was out yet but when he knew it was deep enough for a sac fly

well,

that was a totally substantial ending to what has been an insane series.
I don’t think i’ve been bored during this sweep at all.

but can we please DFA Izzy and fix the bullpen Mo?

How does dfa-ing Izzy "fix" the bullpen?

You did realize there weren’t too many pitchers left, right?

Frees up bullpen roster spot?

Removes him from Tony’s notecard?

Arthur Rhodes?

to address bullpen issues

Fuentes? Too much.
Marte? Probably too much.

Rhodes or John Grabow from PIT seem to be great fits – give up someone like Reyes or some other player the brass have obviously given up on, and try to make it work.

Grabow is injured

the Pirates are protecting him so that hopefully some team tries to trade for him.

Easiest way to improve the bullpen

Either DL or DFA Izzy (I’d prefer the former) and call Mather back up. We don’t need 13 pitchers, but we do need a RH bat to spell Skip.
