Is Suppan on short rest?
"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."

Go Cards!
f'in guy at the game yesterday
kept yelling, “c’mon brauny” and “let’s go braun bomber”. Pissed me off. Not only is braun a douche, his existence encourages milwaukee fans to be douchebags as well.
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
I went to a game at Miller Park this summer
and the guys we sat next to were really, really nice. They recognized Braun’s douchiness and made fun of him for it. As well as Mat Gamel and JJ Hardy.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
maybe just this fan
was a douche, but he was a big time douche. He was wearing Ray-ban, thick framed glasses. I wanted to hit him, but he looked like he was maybe 16

can we please kick the shit out of the Brewers today? Kind of like what we did to the Reds after losing the first two games?

hey, at least we've still got Carp and Waino....

goold twitter and pd article
Glaus on playoff roster and freese heading west (not on roster yet). Could kbot be heading to the dl?
Are they gonna use
anxiety again…..they can’t just DL him can they? KBot has to approve to be DL’d right?
"Obviously, tipping pitches didn't help" - John Smotzl
"If you disrespect the Baseball Gods, you'll get slapped." - TLR Passan
doesn't freese qualify
because he was up earlier in the year? Player doesn’t have to be up at the deadline if he was up earlier in the year, IIRC.
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
no......
player has to be on 25 man on Aug 31 to be eligible, unless if someone goes on DL, then has to be on 40 man by Aug 31 to qualify. I believe.
"Obviously, tipping pitches didn't help" - John Smotzl
"If you disrespect the Baseball Gods, you'll get slapped." - TLR Passan
players on the DL as of Aug 31 also qualify
The 25 man plus the dl players as of Aug 31 make up the postseason eligible pool. If one of those players are DL’d for the playoffs, any player in the organization can be added to the post season roster, not just 40 man.
Right, but the point is
someone has to be DL’d for Freese to play, correct?
"Obviously, tipping pitches didn't help" - John Smotzl
"If you disrespect the Baseball Gods, you'll get slapped." - TLR Passan
but
what i looked up on the rule says that the player has to play the same position. I suspect, if that is the case, that K Greene is going to be the one.
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
the rule changed in 2006 eliminating the position for position rule
leach had this article explaining several of the aspects of the postseason rules
I think the position rule still exists when a player is DL’d during a series
pretty sure you can't replace a player during a series
the roster going in is what you have for all 5/7 games.
it's Clydesdales vs Goats. Actually sums up Cards vs. Cubs quite nicely. -all4tookie
I think you're right. Changes would have to be between series.
"I’m going to come after you." - Chris Carpenter
but isn't there another clause
that if a it’s a pitcher DL’d he has to be replaced by a pitcher?

Horton just pointed out
the Brewers are getting the ball up against Pineiro. That Prince GO is only the 2nd so far, to 6 FOs (and then there’s the Kendall double).
Are we absolutely positive Carp & Waino can't pitch all the innings in the postseason?

After Carp and Wainer...
I’m not comfortable with any of our options for starters.
I don’t care how good Pineiro was at times…he’s been average at best over his last 4 or 5 starts.
Tough to rely on Smoltz.
Lohse has been pedestrian at best after his arm injury.
Lohse is snakebit
something crazy happens in every one of his starts
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
I still think we might need complete games by Waino and Carp all throughout the playoffs
Lighten up, Francis - Sergeant Hulka
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
Pineiro
I’m not worried about. But going off the Rotoworld sidebar, sounds like TLR is being indecisive (or just characteristically playing his cards close to the vest (no pun intended)) w/ regards to committing to starting either Lohse or Smoltzinski.
post dispatch article
has both available for relief in games one and two.
Sounds like Tony won’t name Game 4 starter until after the results are in from the first two games.
Probably a good idea
I bet Smoltz gets the call if we are down 0-2. Lohse if we are 2-0 or 1-1

My experience as a seller
is that StubHub is confirming to make sure that you haven’t sold the tickets by other means and forgot to take them off the site. (That way they don’t get screwed with the guarantee to get to comparable seats.) I would guess that happens a lot.
Whatchya gonna see?

the seller is still in possession of the tickets
and has to confirm 1) that they have the tickets and 2) can deliver in time to meet your needs. Looks like the seller has 48 hours to confirm
Yeah.
I’m just paranoid. If I don’t hear tomorrow I guess I’m screwed but I just want to know now. I worry if I have to wait.

OT: has me salivating
watching the Reds TV network, I learn that George Grande has not been retained for next year with Cincinnati.
I know there will be disagreement here, but I would love to have Grande with the Cardinals, as a replacement for the droning Rooney even, but at the very least as a far better alternative to the emergency second man (like when Shannon is awol).
In my opinion, beyond Shannon and Rooney, KTRS hires crap.
there's a big time love fest going on right now for george

Only the Cardinals would have kept Wellemeyer on the roster all season
any other team would have released him by now. When was the last time the Cardinals released a player midseason?

yeah
I can live w/ Thurston as a bench player. Not thrilled about it, obvsly, but he’s useful as a lefty and a decent 2B. Wellemeyer making the PS roster would give me brain bubbles.
Thurston just cannot do the kind of total irreversible damage
that Wellemeyer offers up everytime he touches the ball.

Dodgers were 15-12 in September.

we're likely to see Thurston as a backup
Tony has very few lefties off the bench, and you know Tony likes his matchups. Not even Crazy Tony is gonna be able to run Welly out there during the playoffs though.
Nobody got hurt, but you don’t think it was unnecessarily risky to put Freese in as catcher? How about the way TLR used Molina and Wainwright down the stretch? How about using Schumaker in CF, think that was wise? It’s not one game, they’ve played like shit in general for the last month.
Cards finish 14-16 since Sept 1. Sound like a deep playoff run to you?

a playoff berth is cold comfort if we enter the playoffs playing so listlessly. It was almost a hell of a comeback, but Tony puts in Todd Ughemeyer.
But I guess there is a bright side—LA does not seem to be playing any better than we are at the moment, so maybe we can get something going behind Carpenter on Wed.

I watched pretty much the entire Pats-Ravens game because I turned the Cardinals off in disgust and it was the only football game on. The shots that the Ravens are taking at the refs are completely warranted. So many blown calls, and hey…whaddya know? they all titled one way. Two questionable personal fouls for going after Brady, terrible spotting all day long, phantom offensive pass intereference on the ravens, etc….God I hate the fucking Patriots. When they’re not getting insanely lucky, they’re cheating…when they’re not cheating, their getting blatant favortism from the refs. It drives me fucking crazy.

Revenge choices:
not that I like the word, but it occurs to me that there are two more delicious choices for which AL team we would prefer to beat in the World Series. Revenge factor?
With the Angels it is zero ( no animosity one way or the other as far as I can tell)
With Detroit it is the reverse, if anything (they owe US one)
With the Yankees it is high, only because (who likes the New York teams?)
But for you younger guys, it’s Boston that you would like to tromp in ’09 (removing the awful taste of ’04)
BUT for us older guys (me included) the idea of us beating Minnesota, especially with them having the home field advantage in that baggy, would be extra sweet.
I want us to play and beat the Twins, if only because I want Pujols to bring down that stdium with a walk-off blast
literally

beating NYY would be sweet
even though I honestly hate the Sawx 10x more than the Yankees. But still, the two most successful franchises in baseball history (yeah, okay they got us beat by about 16 but we’re still second), rematch of the 64 series, Carp coming in on short rest and giving a heroic performance on short rest a la Gibson…okay, I might be getting a little ahead of myself here, but still it would be sweet
Wow. I finally got through on the waiting room
hit the button to select seats and it sent me back into the waiting room.
/sad face.
NEVER!
I just want $11 tickets so I can get in the door and check the place out.
But I am sad that I thought I was so close and then failed.
I mean, I’m driving 8 hours for this game for fucksake!

I have refused to go to that place
I had tickets once in the row right behind the Twins dugout for a Twins-Red Sox game and gave them away. I don’t know whether I should applaud your determination, or call you crazy for driving 13 hours to that hellhole. Since I don’t wanna be too much of an a-hole, I will go with the former.
