rick says
no room for him at the ml level with cards, huh??
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you haven't grasped the situation!
He's nothing more than a replacement level arm
but the Cardinals have trotted out worse relievers than he in the last couple years.
he made Luddy look silly

and if he grounds into a DP
because he can’t do more than walk to first, I’m gonna be pissed.
In my completely worthless medical opinion, the Cardinals are asking for a more serious injury to happen by their refusal to DL him.
i totally agree
he should have been on the DL
its asinine he’s not

Joel Piniero, Pinch-Runner
I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooove having a short bench.
seriously
why waste a player when you can have a pitcher run??
he's fast, he's not going to bat
why not use him? Because his injury would cripple the team?
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
sometimes you just have to say thank you
when it makes you laugh
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
Why waste a position player there?
I agree that Ankiel should be on the DL but why waste a position player running for Ank there?

How did he hit that pitch?

by StanTheManFan on Aug 5, 2008 11:02 PM EDT up reply actions
Not 1 of the 3 guys to face Beimel took a pitch, I could be wrong, but every pitch but
the HBP to Ank was swung at & from what I was watching, he threw 1 strike. Hal needs to find a new profession or change philosophies, because its not working. I know that the club leads in walks & whatever, or did, but the late inning impatience is killing this team.
I've been thinking that lately too
Against Lidge Stavinoha and Mather swung at nothing but balls

Yeah it was nice to see Albert do that
But I do think Dan had a bit of a point, I’m a huge Albert fan, but don’t you kind of think he’s hit a few more singles on pitches this year that he usually put in seats? Just curious as to your opinion or any one elses out there

Why all the yelling?
I understood he was joking, I just thought it was funny when he said it right before APu went yard. Then, to top it off, I didnt type the right thing. Take it easy, we still have a few games left.
C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!

I took it
as Dan using the wrong word. Earlier in the game he was saying the same thing, but was talking about how unnoticed AP’s .350 was. I thought using the word quiet would have been a better word than soft.
Just my take.

I think yes his hrs
have dropped but i think people make way too much of it..hes should still hit 30..we know the arms issue he has..he has still been productive..Production is the issue to me not hrs…how many times in Macs run did I just want the guy to hit a single or sac fly and he K’d trying to hr..plenty..I love em both but at least AP trys to do things other than hr..
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
APu
He isnt hitting the homers like he, and we, are used to him doing. But, everything else is there when he hits.

I'm not certain
but there was tailing motion at the end of strike two of his first AB, and it wasn’t a change or his knuckle curve

DFA Adam Kennedy and Randy Flores!
"Just because nobody understands you doesn't make you an artist."
This reminds me of when I was a kid and I used to
watch scary movies through my fingers. For some reason, that made it less scary.
Now I drink.
I just had a flashback to a certain AB of Jeff Kent vs. Jason Isringhausen
Ohhhhh shit…

Back, Izzy totally deserves it this time
for feeling that he is somehow entitled to the closer spot.
La Russa felt that
Honestly, I can’t see what the problem with him is. His speed is right, his pitches break. What the fuck is wrong? Is he just missing spots? I don’t see Molina wildly swinging his glove to find the target

i don't think i have anything else
mainly cause a bean ball ties it
The worst part?
We’re that much closer to having AW close games when he gets back :(

Izzy was hard to watch
but I think I’m gonna just turn the TV off now so I don’t break any furniture.
This is borderline comedy
How is that we have arrived at the point where we no longer have a man who can get the last three outs of a game? Do we have some sort of mental block? Is there a goddamn reason we haven’t let McClellan try?
Of course you all know that this basically locks up that Waino is going to come back as the closer. Sigh.
they're not boing
they’re saying “boos-ringhausen.”

I hate this bullpen
call up Motte and Perez. How many bloody times do we have to watch this happen before management makes an obvious and free internal upgrade.
I’m out. Can’t watch this anymore.
sometimes, i really hate it when i'm right

this sucks
more likely that waino goes to closer
On the MINOR MINOR bright side...
We have the top of the lineup heading out there in the 9th.
Maybe that’ll help?
Adam Kennedy is part of the "top of the lineup"
Miles better PH for him

Seriously…Izzy should retire. Great guy, great career, he’s done. His performance sucks 3/4 times out

Remember when TLR said the people who play the best get the most game time?
Does that mean we won’t have anyone pitching from our bullpen?

could have gotten a couple of ground outs. If 2 were needed.

Will Izzy cry again?
The guy needs to man up or hang it up.

he still lacks confidence, tries to nibble his way to a save

I know they won't do it
but they really need to just release Izzy. I don’t want to see him pitch for us again.
I don't ever want to see him in the St. Louis metro area again

he has to be hurt
Izzy was very good last year. He just needs to be honest.
Amaury translates into "Punisher of Spheroids" in the lost tongue of Atlantis. Marti means "Belgian Waffle." www.futureredbirds.net
I dunno, i think he's just a mental mess right now
even when he was hurt a few years ago I think he was better.
I don't see it
his pitches look exactly like they did when he was right, at least to me. Maybe his tipping his pitches or something. But…
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
What possible reason does the FO have for not just cleaning house
and bringing up some young guys? I mean seriously, could it possibly be ANY worse?
Hide the TV's!!!
Izzy is pissed!

no dont
if him & Frank double team it, Perez & Motte get called up

And because of the testicle-exploding shit storm of July 12, 2008
We know that 7 isn’t enough either.
Testicle-exploding shit storm, circa 7/12/08 - We will never forget!
Again, because Izzy's widdle feewings would be hurt
by not being the closer.
i don't think there a choice anymore
its him or springer
Well, with a manager that learns from mistakes we would be ok
But Tony knows better than everyone, or so he thinks
I think K-Mac is the closer tomorrow.
LaRussa is starting to become a joke. His standoff with management is not working. The players are getting pissed and his is really at risk of losing this team.
It is amazing
Under these circumstancesmost big league managers would have lost his team long ago but somehow they keep playing for Tony. I don’t know what it is but it is amazing.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down and that foot is me
This means we'll be seeing AW in the closer role
which is a gross misuse of his talent when you could put Perez or McClellan in that role
boo cubs, hooray beer
agreed
oddly enough, AW would have more impact on the BP if he’s a starter instead of in the bp. they won’t see it that way though.

in some ways true
but after this, not so sure it’s not justified till he gets his pitch count up
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you haven't grasped the situation!
didn't he just throw a 80 pitch bp session?
how much of a pitch count does he need?

So, what would our record be
if we even held half our leads?
Remember what LB said
Out of those 27 blown saves, several of them were multiple game blows (that’s what she said), and we came back to win some of those blown saves as well. Either way, we will never forget 07.12.08!

I know it's easy to second guess, but
why the f did Villone start that inning – I think it was Franklin’s 9th

Pujols doesn't have to be the hero
I guarentee the runner is much more likely to score from second with the “player of the week” up.
when izzy blows saves
it just taxes the rest of the pitchers because they have to pitch longer as they are talking about on tv. the bullpen should really get on him for that
Don't be a puss, Torre
Pitch to Albert!!

is it just me
but it seems like most times the bullpen gives up a go-ahead score or a walk-off, it’s via home run? and the 10th inning in particular

To make things nicer
Chicago and Milwaukee won today… Im calling this season over…
Yadi swings and hits a high fly ball... Endy Chavez goes back, to the track, to the wall... ITS A GUNNER!! Yadi gives St. Louis the lead in the top of the ninth!
Franklin is so f'ing lucky.
