brewers won; phillies are losing in the 9th as i type. if the latter result holds, the cardinals can move back into 2nd place in the wild-card chase by winning tonight.
red baron is dealing w/ a connectivity issue this evening, which leaves me to compose the wednesday-night haiku. i fully support this tradition ---- i have the impression the cards are well above .500 on haiku nights. unfortunately, the haiku form has always defeated me; just not enough syllables, dammit. the limerick has always been a more comfortable verse for me, so with apologies i offer the following:
there lives a cub southpaw named lilly
who oft makes the cardinals hit illy
on september the 10
he'll try once again
and the question is: won't he, or will he?
robert frost, eat your heart out.

Interesting that lb went with 'hit illy'
instead of ‘look silly’.

We're gonna score a butt-load of runs tonight
One of those “so bad it’s good” lineups that seems to work every time.
defy, cards, defy. hey logic --- you suck.
its bad
when your best hitter at the bottom of the lineup vs. lefties, is your pitcher.
C’mon Cards, beat this sChlUB mercelessly!

God I hope so
Cause the lineup is just plan disgusting, especially for a team that is in a pennant race.
Has any team ever had 7 infielders in their starting lineup before?
Pujols, Kennedy, Izturis, Lopez, Molina, Phelps and the Pitcher?

White Sox might be there before long.

What BCB has to say about Looper
In his spare time, Braden Looper helps handicapped children to learn how to make ecologically sustainable clothing and grow their own food. After that, each day, he tends to the wind farm he has installed near Busch Stadium that provides all the power for the lights in the stadium, helps every little old lady in the state of Missouri across the street, scans all the tickets into the ballpark and has personally agreed to adopt the first 10,000 pets that are made homeless by Hurricane Ike.
Al wanted to mix things up to help break the string of bad play
and someone suggested he gush on and on about the opposing pitcher. Apparently that’s what he chose.

Yeah
Maybe the name-calling is over the top, but the description that follows is certainly fitting, no?
And to CFIC – I was just saying I wasn’t out of hand, just a little angry at my least favorite player on my team’s rival. Getting out of hand would be when the board turns into F bombs directed toward La Russa or Franklin or anyone else.

would be hilarious
if he IBB’d everyone in the lineup until he got to him, then beaned him.
Sure, we’d lose the game, but it’d give us something to talk about for a while. And it’s not like he’s getting the guys out anyway.

Is Felipe TRYING to get in the doghouse?
The more I think about that bunt play, the more I realize how stupid it was. I mean, there were no outs for chrissake. What the hell was he doing?
Managers and coaches hate mental mistakes, and something tells me TLR probably dislikes them more than most.
Since Ankiel is done for the season (for all intents and purposes)
isn’t it worth having the discussion again that the organization should have called up one of their young OF’ers? Or, claim someone off of waivers? This is embarrassing. If, somehow, they make it to the playoffs, who the heck is going to start in the OF? Josh Phelps? Felipe Lopez? Aaron Miles?

It is absolutely mindboggling how this team cannot hit a batting pratice pitcher like
Lilly…I mean, it doesnt matter who is in the lineup, every time it looks the same. I saw the Cards face Lilly in mid Sept last year from seats behind home plate & man, he LOOKS very hittable, but Im not the one standng in the batters box either, so what do I know

looked liek he got in there to me
assuming the reason he abruptly stopped was because his cleats caught the plate. If he got dug into the dirt and didn’t reach the plate, he was out, but if he reached the plate he was safe. Terrible tag by soto.
A throw beats the guy by that much though, the defensive team’s gonna get the call…

the throw beat him, and the ump had a horrible angle
are the reasons why he was called safe. it was bang bang, no doubt about it, but i still think he was safe.
