Yeah, starting at 10 I assume.

Al has been toying with Edmonds and the Cubs all night. That was what was behind all that “Cubbies” nonsense.

Now we learn Edmonds is not playing so the texting will continue … and I guess we are going to have to hear about it.

Doesn’t Edmonds have anything better to do? How about studying the opposing pitcher?

not really

he still considers himself a Cardinal. weird uh?

Just another wonderful broadcast from Al and Dan.

It is nice getting the MLB.tv feed because you realize just how bad those 2 are when you listen to other broadcasters.

What is most insane is Bob Carpenter is doing a great job for the Nationals. All they would have to do is offer him the job and he would take it. I don’t get it.

Hey guys I have a quick question...

I am listening to the Cards TV feed and they mentioned that Wainwright is going to throw a change up when he comes back. The thing that seems strange to me is wasn’t he throwing a change up already? I mean an 80 MPH pitch with nearly fastball movement that has to be a change up right? Do you guys have any info on that?

Thanks

Loop @ 104 thru 5IP. If they go in order in the bottom of the 5th (perish the thought) TLR will probably try to squeeze one or two more outs from him in the sixth before going to the pen….

true, but

i’ve seen him swing at pitches he usually crushes over the wall, and they drop in front of the track

It's sad

Our starting pitching has completely shut down the Brewers this series, and yet we are close to losing 3 straight games

Reminds me of that last series versus the Cubs.

Our offense seems to choke in crucial games.

relief

this team needs a competent reliever badly. I think we can stand pat on offense and in the rotation but if Mo does anything it should be to pick up a frigging reliever that doesn’t completely suck.

yeah, except for Ankiel's HR

in the ninth in one Cubs game, our bats have gone silent in these big series. Can’t blame the starting pitchers.

kj

11 run in 2 innings for a 4.5 era. no reliever should have an era that high. tony can say what he wants, but a bullpen that ALWAYS gives up runs is a problem bigger problem , though, is that we are more than one position player/hitter behind what the crew has. no way to overcome that by trade or from within by july 31.
