PrintLos Angeles Dodgers at St. Louis Cardinals, Oct 10, 2009 6:07 PM EDT
Though he's bounced around, he's not really the typical journeyman pitcher. He's got much better stuff and has shut-down ability. It wouldn't surprise me if he came out and threw a gem today. It also wouldn't surprise me if he imploded and went on a rampage either. In any case, today's game could be a tough one, what w/ Pineiro's recent troubles and Padilla's ability. If we get through today, and come back w/ Carp tomorrow, I like our chances.

I think being at home
might affect that. Of all the things home/away crowds affect most, I think high leverage situation such as RISP seem to show that.

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."
okay...so..

God fucking dammit
We should be out of this inning. Asshole ump screwed us on Kemp.
Is very bad to steal A-Pu's rum...is very bad.
wrong...
let’s keep it civil, and not complain about correct calls. we’re better than that.

Bullshit it was a correct call...
Thats strike three on us anyday
Sponsored by Slick-Rick 'Stache Cream
why would the umpires be working specifically against the cardinals?
no reason to believe it, no reason to consider it.
Not suggesting that, but that 1-2 pitch on Kemp was strike three
An obvious blown call

no, because that second pitch would have been called a strike on us.
Piniero is to blame for letting it get to him, but that doesn’t change that the umpire had a disproportionate effect on this game.

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

the worst thing about it is
we’ve had the absolute minimum number of home games possible in the playoffs. So, pretty much no extra revenue, just a couple of million, max. I was really hoping the postseason would get us an extra $20m or so (apparently that’s about the average) to keep hold of holliday but now; embarassing sweep, quite possibly no Holliday, no extra $, and no Brett Wallace.
Yuck.

no, it's not
it’s an opinion that had wide currency before the trade and will continue to hold it afterward.
I still to this day believe
the only reason the Walrus was drafted was to trade him at a later date. He never had a spot in this franchise. I’m not saying he was traded for the right guy necessarily, I’m just saying.
Also…I like Cody a lot.
"Obviously, tipping pitches didn't help" - John Smotzl

Well
Wallace’s being taken in the draft was a mild surprise..,and led to people even then saying it was a smart choice because they took the best talent, and could flip it for a need when that time came.
Trading Wallace is not really the issue to me…it’s whether you trade him for the right player(s).
except that nothing about the trade makes us any more likely to sign him
we just have less talent if he doesnt
I realize this
but, I do believe it will make Holliday contemplate StL more than if he hadn’t been traded.

Last I checked the man has done nothing in the major leagues… I understand he can be a great player, but can we all please wait for him to make a plate appearance in the major leagues before we act like we gave away Pujols and Carpenter for a box of used balls and a bean burrito?

Looks like he’s just kinda going through the motions.
You may run like Hayes, but you hit like shit.
Sigh.
Replace Albert with “most of the team”, and I’d agree with you.
But still, for anyone that watched their games in Sept, this is pretty much exactly how every game was, at least in the last 3 weeks.
Rather than magically flipping a switch and suddenly playing good (or hard) baseball again, they are still listless and flopping around like drunken fish out of water.

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."
Colby's been so good
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
Colby is basically the only guy in the everyday lineup who has shown up.

Not helping the team win.
The fact that he’s been better than 6 of the other 7 in the everday doesn’t mean he’s shown up. It just means he’s been better than them.

he's had a 1.222 OPS going into today
not his fault TLR has been inexplicably batting him behind Yadi.
it's Clydesdales vs Goats. Actually sums up Cards vs. Cubs quite nicely. -all4tookie
And his idiotic decision not to go home when Ethier was nailed
(not to mention throwing it in the outfield, but that had little other deleterious effect) helped largely change the momentum in that game and put us into an even deeper hole from which we couldn’t recover.

One play.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
there was no play at home.
Regardless of how it looked on TV. he saved a run by stopping a double down the line, and should have put it in his pocket. Throwing it to second was a mistake, but he had no shot at home.

worst part's not the BABIP
it’s that prior to today’s game they were even hitting .300. the offense has been there, it’s just been staggered in such a way to produce as few runs as is possible. baseball has been known to suck like that.
My buddy figured out
there were a possible 30 of 54 LOBsters by both teams… Time for some Jager…

Considering that was strike 4 on Thurston...
And it was Joe Thurston (He has a baserunning award named after him). I’m not all that disappointed he struck out.
The problem was him being on the postseason roster in the first place (or at least pinch-hitting).

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

There's a way
Yes, worst called playoff game in terms of balls and strikes that I can remember.
That said, the cardinals need to quit worrying about it, put their heads down, and leave it on the field the rest of the game.
You never know what can happen in that situation.

Just poop…that’s the only non-expletive I can get out right now. Still hoping for a miracle.

At least look like you are a real team! You had to win a few games to get here. Can you at least score a run. Is Smoltz the only one who can handle the pressure?

Second guessing for LaRussa tomorrow?
To not have had Smoltz in on a high-leverage situation earlier in this series?
I’m not too perturbed about the decision to start Pineiro today…but Smoltz is sure showing he should have been brought in as and rally-killer early in this series.
was the second hop really neccessary

This series was just pathetic. Our pitching wasn’t great, our offense was as horrible as it could be. We played like crap in September and didn’t do ourselves any favors getting swept in the last series of the regular season. This was just an awful ending to what was supposed to be a great one.

If it’s epic, the GOB might appreciate it as a sacrifice, if not they might let the Dodgers score double digits. Maybe you should shave GOB into the beard to please them.
