I'd still swap Pineiro for Lowe straight up
I’d even chip in Izturis

dang
I almost trust Pinero more than the pen right now
the starters' collective short outings
contribute to the bullpen being overexposed….when the starters are able to get into the 7th the entire bullpen doesn’t have to pitch….
Wainwright Friday rehab start,
another on Wednesday I would assume, and return to STL on the 19th against Pittsburgh?
Sounds good
Ive got tix to the Sat. 30th game here in Houston, and I’d like to see him and Carp, maybe get their sig’s on a baseball or two.

If it all goes well on Friday
I’m not sure I’d be opposed to him coming back next Wed.

Brauny the house elf
has no business staring down home runs that barely got out. He’s hit what? 54 in his career? I agree with you though, I think the admiration could be lessened a little.
that said, would you stare at a Grand Slam if you hit it?

So, mather to LF, Lopez to SS, and Thompson in for Ankiel?

I hope he comes back in the rotation and pitches a CG SHO in his first start

I dont think he did
he did say “the last time we saw Adam Wainwright as the closer: who could forget? 2006, what a performance that was”. I dont know if its ominous or not, but I hope it isnt.

i didnt like the teaser..i also agree with what was said by a Tampa reporter on the steiner show…the best help for the Tampa pen this yr…starters going deeper in games..
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
his rehab start was moved up from saturday to friday
and he threw 35 pitches in the simulated game yesterday. you could assume this means he’s not rehabbing as a starter.
i sure hope that’s not the case.
Sort of glad that Kennedy got out
that means Albert will see some pitches and maybe see the cycle.
Plus, I love how Shannon calls Chan-Ho Park “Our old buddy.” It really should be Tatis’ old buddy in my mind.
I thought anyone would be better than Izzy. I just changed my mind. ..

This isn't really Thompson's fault
He warmed up twice yesterday, and was it two or three times today?
aren't sinker ballers better
the more work they get?
isnt the belief that the more tired a sinker baller is, the more bite his pitches have?

I don't know whether I buy that
But even if it’s true, there’s a point of diminishing returns, and 4/5 warmups plus an inning pitched in two days is somewhere past it.

some major confusion
about who was pinch hitting. sweeney was on deck, then kent came out, and no one knew what the hell was going on. both managers have met with the umps twice now i think….......
sweeney was actually in the box getting ready to hit
then Kent came out. i think the Beach Boys are trying to pull one over on the umps

Absolutely mind blowing this bullpen. Time after time, game after game, you get to the pen and they open the gates. I can’t believe what I just saw.
Meanwhile Thompson's just standing around... chilling...

Perez coming in now?
TLR you are a moron, an absolute moron. This kid should be your closer, and yet you are pulling this shit.
boo cubs, hooray beer
that's an even worse move then not using him as closer
Perez is a one inning pitcher, any more than one and he gets blown up.
boo cubs, hooray beer
if Perez gets out of this inning unscathed
and Tony brings in Izzy/Franklin and they blow yet another lead…I might lose it
Might need a new wall. Or head.
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
Perez is much more effective as a one-inning guy
we learned that
by cardsfaninmass on Aug 6, 2008 10:52 PM EDT up reply actions
long save?
hopefully.
he said earlier frankling and mcclellan are unavailable tonight… maybe we’ll see springer in the ninth?
closer only 9th inning?
or in high pressure situations?
what if nothing is left to save int he 9th if he doesn’t come in here?
"Them Cubbies can kiss my ass" -Dizzy Dean
good point
it doesn’t get much more high pressure than this
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
it's a high leverage situation
If you think Perez is the strongest option out of the bullpen, then he’s the guy you want in there, regardless whether it’s the 8th or the 9th.

"Them Cubbies can kiss my ass" -Dizzy Dean
Honestly, the bullpen is becoming a problem of association
at some point you just have to bring in guys that are getting the job done at some level – AAA, AA – something. Just for the sake of confidence.
he's going to springer in the 9th - I can feel it
the beginning of the closer by committee conundrum
My guess is Perez - shelled - followed by Villlone - shelled - follwed by Franklin
Cards bat in the 9th
