Villone???
nothing like a 5+ ERA to scare the opponents
My first memory of Cardinals baseball is seeing Darrell Porter jump into Bruce Sutter's arms on October 20, 1982!

only recorded 2 outs
the tying run has to be guaranteed to come to the plate when he comes in.

When we headed into Chicago 20 games over .500 broke down
as winning every 3 game series except one and breaking even on the 2,4 game series. Well we lost the “except one”, but we gained a little breathing room with a 3 out of 4 performance tonight.
Just gotta keep pushing along.

23-15
Has to be our record to get to 20 games over .500, that’s a .605 winning percentage from here on out. Not outside the realm of possibility. With our current winning percentage, you could expect us to go 20-18. We can get to 91-71.
In a related note, boo only 38 games left in the season!

"Just because nobody understands you doesn't make you an artist."
Yeah
I think it’s possible. but it’ll be hard, if we break it down on a series by series basis… if we lose one, we need to sweep one, if we’re swept, we need to sweep two. this of course banks on the idea of the 1 games we have in even sets .500. Any games we gain there is a win win.
If we lose the Wild Card on the back of 91 wins, no one has any true right to complain, well. in my opinion anyways.
And the entire time both teams will feel the heat of the chase, and may push themselves and their staff a little harder and deeper to win games, which helps us in the long run.

OT: Man vs Wild
Just got the first season of this show and it rocks. It is about a guy that goes on crazy survival missions. Like he dropped in the middle of Costa Rican rain forest with a knife and water bottle. Than has to survive for 5 days and make his way out.

I prefer Survivorman
With Les Stroud. He is actually on his own, unlike Bear, who has a camera crew with him, plus I think Bear is just full of himself.
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
by mattyfrommo on Aug 14, 2008 10:14 PM EDT up reply actions
Les is pretty great
The camera work can be pretty painful sometimes, and he’s overly fond of getting his nudity on camera, though.
Then there was the scandal about Bear crashing in hotel rooms during the show and having scenarios set up for him. I dug the two-part series in the sahara, though. He went all Han Solo on a camel carcass.
Wow
I am gonna have to go look for that one. I did not know they would let hin use a light saber.

Yeah I have seen Surviorman too
Bear does a little more extreme stuff vs Les who is much methodical. Plus, Has to work so much harder carrying that 50 lb camera

That is why I like it better
is just seems to me if you are gonna be stranded , you should not have a camera crew with you. Of course most of us probably wouldn’t have a camera either.

Me too
I really enjoy Survivorman. Great show and not over-the-top. Doesn’t do anything unnecessary and films the show himself.

Drinking Game
I made up a drinking game with Man vs Wild. Every time he tells a story of how someone died I take a drink. I take two drinks every time he says vit a min.

Yeah, I guess its cool, but its fake.....
he stays in hotels and uses creative camera angles so as not to show the road they parked their cars on.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I guess it’s better when taken into context. He obviously knows what he’s doing being a special opps soldier (or something like that), but he stages environments to meet what he wants to accomplish. Here’s just a small sample of what I found by googling “man vs. wild fake”.

it's not all fake
and alot of the shit he does is still pretty damn impressive
boo cubs, hooray beer
I'm not saying its all fake
There’s just a lot of stuff he does that’s camera angles and such. Like I said, he knows what he’s doing, but it should be known that often he stages environments to get a grander effect.

I like both of the shows
I heard about the fake stuff before and it doesn’t really bother me. I doubt every time he is out there he is staying in hotels but some things I could tell where staged.

Well, then that's all that matters
Personally, I don’t like the show. Never did. Thought he was over-the-top and unnecessary a lot of the time. But you like it. And I guess that’s why it’s on tv. Different strokes for different folks.

Okay.
So i’m pretty sure I read the U.S. plays Cuba at 11:30 pm Central time. But it’s not on tv? When I check my tv menu, on USA it says:
1am-11am
“Baseball’s only official gold medalists collide in group play as the U.S. (2000) faces Cuba (1992, ‘96, 2004). Live action features a quarterfinal in women’s soccer and the U.S. vs. Spain in women’s basketball. Also: archery (men’s final); tennis. (Olympics).”
Anyone know when it’s on? And like it’b be impossible to record with a dvr.

God, I envy your choices. Last night I sat is a sports pub displaying women's field hockey between New Zealand and Britain!
Since I can’t see the games a couple of questions: Did Welly truly have great stuff? Is Albert seriously hurting? I saw the threads about TJ surgery and the like.
An optimist is a man who upon discovering that a rose smells better than a cabbage concludes it will make better soup.
HL Mencken
above average stuff, the strike zone really jumped all over the place and gave him fits a couple of times during the game. slider looked a little weak, but it could have been placement issues.
I’m sure albert is a bit sore, but if you look at the game logs, he tends to rollercoaster around a bit. so I don’t know how much of that is elbow as the elbow has been an issue late in the season for a few years.

I was thinking more about the Rays
but I guess that 10M for ‘09 probably scared them off. But he’d help them either in the outfield or at 3rd in place of Longoria or Crawford.
