That's our new word!

What's the point of a rally?
We’ll just give it up the next half inning. We had our chance versus the bottom of their order and Franklin blew it again. This game is over, we lose.
boo cubs, hooray beer
And that's some positive energy for ya...

Ryan Franklin, when you start to cry after the game tonight
while being interviewed. I refuse to feel sorry for you.
boo cubs, hooray beer
Ryan Franklin,
I feel sorry for you.

C'mon Cards!
I leave up 4-0, come back tied 8-8.

C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!
Anyone remember the other day when TLR
maintained the offense, not the bullpen, was the problem. Well, eight friggin runs ought to win a game!
agreed
I havent seen the game, save the 1st inning, but 8 runs should be enough to win.

no help coming from AAA
Memphis gave up 7 runs in the ninth to blow their lead. perez gave up 5 of them, 2 HR yielded in one inning. it’s like a plague of suck-itis that is spreading and getting worse and worse.

Next contestant for the "Bullpen Goat de jour" is.....
Currently in first place, Franklin, 2nd place, Villone. I say ging up the winnign un in extra innigs i worse than giving up the tying run in teh ninth. But I’m open to he groups opinion.
40th anniversary of Gibson's 1.12 ERA, Think he could pitch in the bullpen now?
FRANK is toast
i can’t believe he’s still out there
does Tony really not know what’s going to happen now?
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
he's not a good pitcher at all
i dont know how TLR is so blind that he can’t see what the rest of the world does.

As frustrating as these decisions are
Tony’s not an idiot. He must think there are no other options. Whether he is right…

i dont want him
just say no MO

trade
I think the floating of the news in this AM’s P-D regarding Wagonmaker closing again is because the trade talks for Funetes are getting serious. I don’t think A.D.A.M. will close. But I think it’s an attempt to gain leverage in the talks.

i still don't like the trade idea
he’s not the answer. he never was & he never will be.
if we think Frank & Izzy are bad in the 9th, just ask any Rockies fan about Fuentes.
there’s a reason they are shopping him. he’s not that good any more.

I don't know..

dodged a bullet there
Iz2 may not have had control of the ball
for those of us without television
please fill in
"Give a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for a night. Set him on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life."
Is it finally safe to assume that Franklin is done as closer?
I would imagine the job will be handed to KMac barring a trade being made for one.

you really can't
screw this bullpen up any worse than this. 2 guys are good and they neither one ever close. it’s asinine.
We know we still have
about 9 pitchers left in our bullpen. We’ll have to pinch-hit w/ Fredbird but we’ve got pitchers in the pen!
No, TLR went way too long with Izzy
so why wouldn’t he do the same here. These managers are stubborn dicks.
nice. please call runs for us in the 11th

We've just been toying with this team all night
right?
I feel bad we don't have Izzy to pinch hit.Now its up to Miles-Franklin-Iz2
I’m assuming that franklin gets to bat so he can go out and pitch the 11th.
At least if TLR’s logic is consistent tonight….

Nah, Franklin will bat and be replaced in the 11th

ohh he was almost picked off
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
He was out
and TLR just slaps his hands together in the dugout and doesn’t argue
boo cubs, hooray beer
no, he got back
it was close. but he got back in time

strike em out throw em out

Would help if someone (coughJimenezcough)
COULD ACTUALLY THROW A STRIKE

Why does the thought of Pujols batting next half inning NOT inspire much confidence

Because there is no way he bats in the 12 with Jiminez pitching the 11th
An optimist is a man who upon discovering that a rose smells better than a cabbage concludes it will make better soup.

who called for the walk off walk?

I'm amazed
at how patient they’ve been w/ Kelvin Jimenez. I’m not whining about Anthony Reyes, but the difference is astounding to me.
it makes no sense
but their approach to young pitchers never really has. Great for journeymen types. hit or miss w/ young guys
but Jimenez
is only a couple years older than Reyes. It’s not like he’s Rick Honeycutt. I just don’t get it.
What is it, like 12-13 balls in a row now?
They swung at a couple, but he has not thrown a strike since the first batter.
is Miles ready
‘cuz KJ is done

Hm...
bullpen blows the game with 4 straight walks? We haven’t done THAt one yet…
If Jimenez manages to get this out
it’ll have been a good move letting that many runners get on
it forces wagner out of the game unless they double switched earlier
boo cubs, hooray beer
thats tlr
looking for the hidden adv most of us cant see

What is the status, my gameday is still out
40th anniversary of Gibson's 1.12 ERA, Think he could pitch in the bullpen now?
Can't believe Manuel is PH for Wagner
Proud sponsor of the Official 2008 StL Cardinal theme song: "Beautiful Day" by U2
i don't Franklin believe it!
they got out of it again!
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
Ya gotta love this Jimenez
Our new closer! ha ha
he was the closer at memphis for a while
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you haven't grasped the situation!
I thought it was whoever got the save when we win.
"Give a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for a night. Set him on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life."
Gameday finally back!
40th anniversary of Gibson's 1.12 ERA, Think he could pitch in the bullpen now?
just what I was thinking
and I hope there are two on ahead of him… I’d feel a lot safer with a three-run lead!

Do you ever wonder if Albert's slump
affects the attitude of the whole team?
But then, he’s been struggling since before this current disastrous run.

It is a good point, though.
This team lives and dies with Albert, and perhaps he does the same. Team sucks, so Albert begins to suck.
Then he can be our new closer!

Jiminez is bad so they keep him
Parisi was good in the pen so they have him start, sucks then demote him
Garcia does well in pen so he starts, does ok, then they demote him
Boggs has been up and down all down of late so lets keep him..
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
The Parisi one annoys me the most.
That kid was decent in the pen and looked comfortable. Started him and ruined him.
im going to get me a franklin
what kind…...both of course

skippy's had a good night
but it’s funny to see 4-5 (4 singles).
I’ll take it. Get another one
"Give a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for a night. Set him on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life."
I feel like we just got a stay of execution,
but remain on death row.
(Sorry. I should be more positive. Somehow.)
Just got back from the bar
how are things going?
No, they did not have the game on, I was able to drink in peace
From the looks of it I need to hate Tatis again?

I saw that, and I like it....a lot
Ryan….gave up another franklining home run?
