PrintThat was a strange game. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of your favorite beverage, and enjoy the sweet taste of victory. The last over flow was over 1000 post, so this is for everyone who's on a slow connection, or other issues like the poor folks who use IE. I'm trying to come up with 75 words, so uh,,,um,,,how was your day? How was work? How are the wife/husband/life partner/bed buddy/ and the kids? Seen any good movies lately? Heard any good music? How's the weather? River seams to be up. As anyone seen my shoes? Where are my shoes?

I can get behind the NCAA tournament. Mainly because is a win or go home tournament played over a short period of time.

Close to mine:
Yadi

"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear." - THT
Is this the sign of a good team, or luck? Or bad opponents?
The last four games have been pretty, well, I wouldn’t say poor exactly, but less than impressive, with the offense swinging at everything (except Duncan, really). Yet they’ve won 3 of them.
i hope that it means that we are not going to experience prolonged losing streaks

I think it's a bit of all three
good pitching, high OBP offense (the Cards had 11 walks tonight!), and some iffy opponents. If we can keep the starting pitching healthy and consistently getting into the last third of games we will win a whole buncha games this year….

third run scored on a weird play
Bonifacio reaches on force attempt, missed catch error by shortstop Theriot, assist to first baseman DLee. Amezaga scores. Helms to 3rd.
Error scoring is weird
Lee can’t be blamed for the SS’s boner. Kind of like how a strikeout on a wild pitch where the runner reaches still counts as a strikeout.
Tee hee
Boner.

I’m not sure of the glossary definition but it’s basically how much each out means in any given situation.
ie … It’s more important to get the out with the bases loaded and 2 out than it would be with bases empty 2 out

thank goodness
I’ve always liked the idea of strikeout pitchers out of the STL bullpen following the Dave Duncan pitch-to-contact starters….if those two guys can keep it together and the starters don’t revert to the 07-08 habits of struggling to get thru 5 innings we are going to be looking pretty good at the end of the season….
If the stretch
is limited to just September, then I can see him being a crucial part of the 2009 Cardinals.
Now I see why Pinella stuck with Heilman for so long.
