I just can't believe
Oswalt even attempted that pitch. Albert loves that pitch.
Classic underachiever.
lets hope oswalt goes alao
lidge, and then we get him off waivers and he rebounds liek lidge…i can dream right?
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
I have to see this on video
looking at Gameday I can’t see how in the hell he pulled that pitch….did he kind of step in the bucket on the swing?
He just doesn't extend
his arms all the way. The HR the other night was hit similarly.
Classic underachiever.
almost as good
was mentioning Brad Lidge again. In case people forgot.

McCarver just described KBot like he was a SP
“He was a great acquistion by the Cardinals. He’ll win alot of games for them if he stays healthy.”

Y'know
I just zone him out. I don’t know how I do it, but Buck might as well be the only one talking.
Classic underachiever.
I used to have a radio in the living room
and on Fox Saturday games I’d just mute the TV and listen to Shannon. But it broke last year.

this was the undoing of the team last year
starters couldn’t go more than 5 or 6 every night, and the bullpen got way overexposed as a result
I'll take 5 innings of 0 run ball from Wainer any night over 7 innings of 2 run ball any night.
I was super impressed with Wainos start tonight. He battled through and kept putting up zeros even though he didn’t have his best stuff. Gutsy.
*Rasmus is to CF as Longoria is to 3B*
He looked like an ace
one an ace’s worst night. Unfortunately, that’s how he looked last start, too. Turn it around, big boy.

That sweet Dell laptop might be cheaper
But you still have to run Vista on it.
by cloistermaximus on Apr 11, 2009 6:18 PM EDT up reply actions
I tried to downgrade to XP when I got my new machine about 1 year ago.
I didn’t check to see if they made the drivers for it before I bought my computer. My bad, because they don’t and I’m forced to run Vista. Turns out Vista is a giant steaming pile of crap for an OS.
Windows can't build a secure final product.
I’m not willing to devote the time to lockdown my own machine to run one of their Beta programs. No siree, I like not having every worm on the internet.
Mac is no more secure than Windows...
Nobody bothers with attacking Macs since they are insignificant in terms of market share
one of these days
some pimply 15 year old in Eastern Europe is going to get a bee in his bonnet about something Steve Jobs did and put a stop to the whole Macs are more secure thing….
Couldn't disagree more.
Macs may not suffer the same rate of attacks but there are some inherent flaws in the way Windows goes about building their OS.
I loved it but my old PC just ran into the ground.
I’m getting by on Vista but I don’t trust it and I don’t like having to tell it that I actually want to do what I clicked on.
My work laptop is still XP Pro
and its fine, but the last laptop I bought was Vista. I had it for about two weeks before it became my wife’s laptop and I bought a mac. Couldn’t be happier with it.
hecanthithecanthithecanthithecanthit
You don't HAVE to
You can run whatever OS you want, right? BTW, I have yet to have any problems with Vista. It’s been fine for me.

I do believe that Uncle Rico had an extra base hit...
dont know if Barden can do that

Rico couldn't hit a breaking pitch fair

Am I the only one that's mildly irritated that our
“long man”, and lord knows we HAD to have a long reliever, is pitching in the 8th of a meaningless game?

Let Franklin toss a pair.
Heck let some position player. In all seriousness, these are such ridiculously low leverage innings that anyone will suffice.
If Thompson was gonna make the team to be a long man, I’d rather have seen him in the 6th.
what?
this is exactly the role for him. pitch the last two innings, save Kinney, Franks, Kyle for tomorrow.
I guess I expect Thompson to toss more than a pair of innings
if he’s gonna be the long man. It’s not a big deal, I just worry about how many relievers TLR is using in these games.
no cus Tony is saving really good arms for when we need them.
I bet puppy kicker finishes off the game
When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom
He just came in 2 innings later than expected.
Looked for a while like he’d be in in the 6th, right?

Barden in for Thurston.
Let’s give that kid a hand!
THE SKIP IS LEGIT!!
Seriously... what were Rich Harden's parents thinking?!?!?!
Just checked the league leaders
Adenhart is the first name on the league ERA leaders. nice to see if only for a few more days.
"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."
10 run lead
and we cant leave Skippy at 2nd. Maybe to get some extra work.
The only one who liked the Cardinals so much he became a St. Louis Cardinals football fan.
Good play Barden!
I didn’t think he’d make it.

I’m all for useful stats. But would anyone like to guess which position player had the highest WPA for that game?
Nope, you’re wrong, it was Thurston, with a 0.094, three times higher than the guy who hit a grand slam and a three run shot, and tied his career high in R’sBI in what is a HOF career.
What’s up with that?

Beautiful Game Tonight.
Wagonmaker really showed some guts and held the fort. It was like watching him impose his will against the laws of physics which this day were against him and his pitches.
He held back the enemy surge just long enough till the calvary could ride to the rescue in the form of The Mang himself “El Hombre”.
The Mang then set forth to wrecking the Stros with firey ropes of ballistic balls of firey leather and twine till none could deny the victory that was at hand this day.
