Our season may have just hung
on that foul ball. Sweet Moses.

down by one run in the 7th
with the brewers losing tonight, and it’s over? eh?
"All I am saying is give Freese a chance!" -- nmstar
well, it was 3-0 when i programmed the thread
mcclellan was getting hammered, and the cards only had 1 hit off harden . . . . but yeah, even with all that maybe i was being a little melodramatic
i'm feeling it too
just giving you a hard time ;)
"All I am saying is give Freese a chance!" -- nmstar
Why do people.....
Keep insisting that all “callups”, or lack thereof, are Tony’s decision?
Tony, as far as I know, hasn’t mentioned one word about Freese. Wouldn’t something like that be more of Mo’s decision than Tony’s? And if he were on the roster, that would be Tony’s decision, whether to play him or not?
when he says he see's no need for them
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
He said why would you call someone up
he can’t even find playing time for the guys he has and would you expect a guy from AAA to get a hit, or guys like Brian Barden/Brendan Ryan to get hits when they’ve actually done it at the MLB level.

But now that there is a bit of a need.....
I still say this is more Mo, than Tony.

don't toy with me man, that's not funny
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
yeah, it's mo's decision
but out of respect for Tony, you don’t go over his head and promote people once he says he doesn’t want them.
If Tony said “I’d like to see what that kid freese has”, it would happen.
"All I am saying is give Freese a chance!" -- nmstar
Tony had nice things to say about Freese in ST, I recall
Can’t imagine his opinion of him would be any lower after the very good season he had.
Exactly.....
I doubt Tony is telling them not to call him up. Especially now.

If he went to Mozeliak and asked for Freese
he’d get him by tomorrow’s game.

is freeze on the 40 man roster?

well, he's taken a public position in the p-d
that he doesn’t want/need him, and he hasn’t reversed it. You can project whatever position you want on him, but that’s what he has said, and it is ridiculous.
"All I am saying is give Freese a chance!" -- nmstar
I'm still fine with it.....
Especially if it’s only for a couple of games.
You really think Freese, in his first ML games, during a playoff chase, is going to be a better option than a bunch of guys that have played 3B in their careers at times? I don’t. Had Lopez not thrown that ball away, nobody would be saying a word.
by SoonerfanTU on Sep 11, 2008 11:03 PM EDT up reply actions
He's had 3 misplays in 2 nights
resulting in 3 runs yesterday and 1 run today.
by Hardcore Legend on Sep 11, 2008 11:05 PM EDT up reply actions
maybe
some guys show up with a chip on their shoulder, looking to prove something. See Ellsbury, 2007- he made a huge difference in the red sox series run.
At the very least he’d be a decent RH bat off the bench in a night like tonight.
"All I am saying is give Freese a chance!" -- nmstar
I'm not saying always.....
But usually that guy making the contribution is a more bonafide spect.

If healthy.
And not a historically slow starter at each level.
by SoonerfanTU on Sep 11, 2008 11:29 PM EDT up reply actions
well, he's gotten a lot more hype.
but he put up a .740 OPS his first time in AAA — about what colby put up this year - and he got called up. He’s got a sub.700 OPS this year for the sox.
Freese had a .900+ OPS his first time through AAA.
"All I am saying is give Freese a chance!" -- nmstar
That is ridiculous, then
Although why Lopez is ahead of Barden on the depth chart at third is beyond me.
Changed my mind
Barden doesn’t have to be added to the 40-man until after next season and we’ll be pressed for spots going into the winter meetings.
Replace ‘Barden’ with ‘Freese’ and that comment makes a little more sense. It’s a justifiable non-promotion.
no, we won't
we have a number of players departing. See HC’s post in the other thread.

Better chance to bleed one threw instead of strinking out?
pornstache
had to be a better option in that situation?
Why is it so hard
for us to score runs? it seems like we need to have a man on third or the bases loaded in order to get some runs. Gotta work on that.
Defense..
We had the hits to score the runs that inning… Can’t really blame it on the bats… You just have to tip your cap to the Cubs for making those great defensive plays off the bats of Pujols and Fukudome.

If only that foul down the line
woulda landed a foot to the right.
All the fans along the line must’ve collectively drawn their breath.
If only Floppy hit it a foot further,
if only Albert hit it a foot shorter.

Defense
They had it tonight, we didn’t. Just like last night, just like that Sunday night game in Wrigley. I actually don’t mind losing to the Cubs so much — I’ve long reconciled myself to finishing beneath them. What bothers me is falling further behind the Astros, partly for pride, partly b/c I think Pujols has a real uphill climb for MVP if we finish 4th.
if the astros make the playoffs
berkman wins it, I think.

and it won't be undeserved
he’s had a great season.
"All I am saying is give Freese a chance!" -- nmstar
retarded. He took a month+ off.
Berkman’s July line: .266 .431 .329 .760
If you extend to August 5th: .232 .392 .295 .687
Are you kidding me? An “MVP” playing .687 ball over 29 games? And he doesn’t play much defense.
Pujols' July was also his worst month.
a .978 OPS. By the way, Berkman has had 2 months better than Albert’s worst month, 4 worse.
yeah
pujols is the better player, for sure. But if the astros make it to the playoffs, and the cardinals don’t, and he finishes with a 1.000+ OPS, I won’t be as upset as I’d be if delgado or someone stole it.
he also single-handedly beat the cardinals a couple of times.
"All I am saying is give Freese a chance!" -- nmstar
One of the best arguments against Delgado is...
that he took April off. Berkman taking July off is about the same.
I'll admit...
I agree with your post, though. Berkman is better overall, and if they make it…I’d be “less angry”
So, does Freese get called up now, after the last 2 games?
Even if he does get called up, he’ll probably play CF or catch, so does it really matter
This season really hurts
I don’t know why, but it does.

I'm fine with it
I really didn’t expect a whole lot and while i’ve gotten my hopes up a couple of times, I haven’t gotten too down about things for some reason. There have been a couple of games that pissed me off. Tonight’s did, and I’m more pissed about missed umpire calls than just about anything. Sure, players have to execute, but I’m expecting a level playing field and for that (especially the last 2 innings) I just can’t accept it.
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.
if it's just the Ryan call at 3rd...
The ump had a better angle than any of the FSN cameras showed. I can’t really argue that one. Even the freeze frame above doesn’t show if he’s tagging Ryan or not.
it's that one
but moreso the non-balk call on Marmol. That took a run off the board.

Agreed
And does it bother everyone else as much as it does me that the Astros are once again surging late? Maybe it shouldn’t, but it just galls the hell out of me. Do those guys just skip spring training every year or what?

because our hopes were low at the begining,
then because they played so well at the start, our hopes went sky high.
then when a lot of them went down with injuries, MO refused to give them the upgrades they needed. we all got mad because we know they are letting a great season slip threw their hands.
and now, even when their backs are up against the wall, and they are clearly playing with two arms & a leg tied behind their backs, they still almost win. yet they fall short time after time, each loss coming with little fault of their own because they are playing with talent far below the level of their opponents.

My hopes didn't get up when they started hot
I figured it was just a team of overachievers.
But when they got to the trade deadline tied for the Wild Card and only a handful of games back of 1st place in the division, I really started to believe they could do it.
They’ve let me down since then but they’ve still managed to stay mathematically in it. But time is getting short and barring a Phillies sweep of the Brewers (and a Cards sweep of Pittsburgh) or a Cubs sweep of the Brewers (and Cardinals sweep of Cincy), this thing is over.
And that bothers me. Because they actually had a chance to make the playoffs and they did nothing. I’m not talking about trading away the farm to get a rental, I’m talking about not calling up guys for September and letting them play. I’m talking about starting 4 MIF’ers at 1 time. Stuff like that. It just doesn’t seem right. If you aren’t going to trade your prospects, use them. If you aren’t going to use them, trade them.

That encapsulates my view, pretty much
I can understand the non-action at trade deadline. There are excellent arguments that this will serve the Cardinals best in the long term. What irks me is we did not maximize our chances to win with what we have. Not.even.close.
I'd say it's the inordinate number of games that we gave away
Whether it’s because of leaving men on base, the FAILpen being sucktacular, or an ill-timed defensive gaffe. This season makes 2003 feel like a breeze.
