Lineup...
I don’t mind the acquisition of Felipe Lopez. Kind of look forward to seeing what TLR can do with him… but he shouldn’t be taking at bats away from Mather at this point.
what a gawd awful line up
there’s only 4 spots where any hits can come from, Albert, Lud, Troy & Yadda. every other spot is almost a guaranteed out.
lowe is going to throw a complete game 4 hit shut out. book it.
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
Lopez...
is hitting above .290 away from the new stadium in DC in almost 170 at-bats. He may get a hit. Shouldn’t be playing over Mather though… I’ll give you that.
Lopez was just DFA'd by the worst team in baseball
he has no business being on the Cardinals let alone starting over a kid who’s done nothing but help this team win over the last few weeks.
Skippy can hit, i just dont think he will tonight vs a sinker baller.
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
Since July 1st...
Ryan in 48 at-bat’s: .146 AVG, 5 BB’s, 2 RBI’s, 8 K’s, 1 SB
Lopez in 69 at-bat’s: .203 AVG, 5 BB’s, 5 RBI’s, 9 K’s, 0 SB
Essentially the same player over the past month… I understand your lack of enthusiasm for Lopez; but I don’t know about classifying Brendan Ryan as “doing nothing but help this team win over the last few weeks.”
He meant Mather
As in, instead of Mather in LF tonight, Lopez is there

i like Boog & all but his problem is he needs more playing time. and he clearly isn’t going to get that with Tony as the manager.

I'd say it's more of
Ryan’s problem is that he isn’t very good. He’s Bo Hart 2.0

defensively
he’s much better than advertised. hitting, however, his OBP at least needs to come up by quite a bit, and he beats himself on the pitches he chooses to chase way too much

they didn’t do him any favors with that lineup… I was hoping I’d never see Lopez in the outfield, let alone the first game he plays! prove me wrong, newest Cardinal

the lineup shouldn't effect the way he pitches
if he throws well he will get another shot regardless of the W/L…granted it is easier to pitch with a lead

He was a huge Whalers fan, and now he lives in Charlotte. He still has his junior size Whalers jersey, and I keep trying to get him to wear it to a Hurricanes game, even though it would expose his midsection and come halfway down his arms.
We also want to show up to a Nashville Predators game in a beat up old van with mullets, crustaches, and “free candy” signs

the more i think about it
I think soccer has something the other sports don’t, and thats a natural growing fanbase.
I think census projections have the Hispanic population reaching close to 50% within the next 20 years or something and take it for someone who taught last year in a highschool that was 42% Hispanic, they like soccer….....A LOT.
In the world I see--you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty carpool lane of some abandoned superhighway.
besides that
more and more kids are playing soccer when they are younger. Its the cheapest league to put together; no pads like football, No bats or gloves like baseball. Just a ball and a green place and you can put together a field. As more and more kids play it when they are young more stay with it as they’re older. More Fans, more money, better league its a cycle. It will probably never be as popular as football or baseball but could be a solid 3 or 4 in America.

Soccer was hugely popular in the 80's
I player select soccer into high school but stopped cause of Football was a better sport. I still enjoy a pick up game of soccer but never enjoyed watching it on TV much

I take contention that football is a better sport
But thats a personal opinion and everyone is entitled to theirs. I went to a small private school, we didn’t have football so I never had an opportunity to play competitively (besides not much call for a 140 pounder who can run forever on the football field). I have got more into the NFL (thanks to playing fantasy football) and have always liked college football. But sometimes sitting down and watching 2 power houses go at it for 90 minutes plus is amazing. The drama the ebbs and flows of action, near misses and wonderful goals. There is a reason they call it the beautiful game

my roommate (female)
gave me the argument that soccer is better than baseball and football because there is nonstop action. that means she either has adult attention deficit disorder or hasn’t figured out that “action” is not the definition of good entertainment. I happen to know that she just likes foreign guys though.

I like American football
but find it hard to watch on tv b/c of all the commercial breaks during possession changes.
I actually really enjoy watching soccer. Beautiful game.
My fellow Americans. As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball, but tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.
It took me awhile, but I like watching on tv too
Especially international matches. The 2002 World Cup is when I really started watching it because the US actually did well and I was sick at the time so I was actually awake at 3:30 or whatever in the morning to watch live.

Tony : “Lineup is on the board. Come on guys, we need to put some runs on the board, we almost lost last night. Our bullpen is already tired. If you haven’t heard, I told the media that Izzy is still our closer. If you don’t like it, don’t put us in a save opp”
Miles : “Tony, thanks for giving me the day off, I need to work some more on my quads. But if this gets blown out, can I pitch? Please? Don’t make me use the…”
Tony : “Yes, hun.”
El Hombre : “Yadi, turns out I actually do have protection. Guess I can fix my strikezone. Luddy is creaming the ball. Too bad you can’t get protection too”
Yadi : “Whatcha mean Pu?”
El Hombre : “See the pitcher plus 3 pussies hitting behind you? Can you say ‘Hit and Run’?”
Yadi “Oh, well it’s not like we want to get a lead until the 7th anyways, it’s not like Joel can keep one if we did”
Joel : “Hey, don’t blame me! It’s not my fault that Tony continues to field an impotent lineup. My kicksaves aren’t a replacement for a bat or two”
Yadi & El Hombre : “Lol, Dude! Even if you do get a weak lineup, they always give you a lead and you blow it”
Joel ” Oh”
Joe ” Joe see ball, Joe hit ball”
Miles ” Not today Joe, you sit next to me on the bench, k?”

more people need to learn what I learned
when the bullpen implodes, put down the laptop and go hit your head on the wall. It really does help.
I think it is a good thing that it didn’t want to load it the first time I tried. The occasional f-word isn’t that bad, but do people actually feel better telling say f-u Izzy?
I thought things might get ugly when I saw someone in the main thread(?) yesterday, tell another poster to go fuck himself.

watching chris duncan greeting all those walk off home runs by others really proves his worth on this team in my opinion. the way he greeted every player was just amazing.
Not a huge chris duncan fan
but he’d be an upgrade to night for sure. If TLR is going to bench Mather for Lopez than I say get well soon Chris.
