| Ohlendorf | Carpenter |
| 0-3, 6.35 | 0-1, 1.76 |
I'm still not sure, of course, that we will get those 150 innings from him but, as I said, I'm a lot more confident today than I was 4 months ago. So, what does today mean? In the grand scheme of things, it's just one start. However, I think we all know it's much more than that. A successful outing today breeds hope that another may follow, and then another after that. It's just game 4 of 162 but, in many ways, our postseason hopes are on the line today. Let's hope it's a good day.

Ah
Chuck fooled us!
Patiently awaiting the day Colby Rasmus does this: .275/.381/.551/.932, 29HR, in St. Louis...
that was last week.
Chuck Norris doesn't need a bat.
he just roundhouse kicks the ball out of the park.

You just can't beat him
He makes a perfect pitch inner half to Pujols’ hole and he fouls it off and eventually gets his mistake.
Not afraid to nitpick
take that back
pujols doesn’t have a hole
Yeah he does
If he’s not sitting on it, you can—-put yourself in a favorable position—-if you get it inside on him. Problem of course being if you don’t get it inside it’s in the seats…

"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.

Question
How does Gameday determine the type of pitch thrown? Carpenter threw the same pitch twice in a row, with the exact same SPD, BRK, and PFX, and yet one was apparently a sinker and the other a fastball. Is there some human observer involved?
Sorry if this has been covered before.
Edmonds in the green seats
Is Freese playing? Can’t really watch the game prop’ly.

Because of Mather's massive slump
As soon as be breaks out in AAA, I believe Barden will be gone
"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."

Who do you want in their place?
Mather needs to work out his swing where he can play every day. Barton could use everyday playing time as well.
Let these guys fight it out for a bit. No harm in that.
"Stats are for losers," Muschamp said after last week's victory. "I like winning games."
I was against it at first
But I like that Ras, Ank, Lud, and Dunc are getting all the AB’s in the outfield

I'd rather have a pitcher than both of them
There’ s just never going to be a scenario in which we think “damn I already burned my 2nd backup 2B”.
Not afraid to nitpick
Honestly I would like to see both of them gone
Sign Durham as a backup and bring up Mather

we need that run
rain is on the way

So if we tie the game
and it gets rained out now, that means we will have to play the rest at some point in the future, right?
Pirates SP
looks like each of them, save tuesday’s starter Ian Snell, deserve the Cy Young award. good grief!
C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!

i was thinking the same thing
but then i remembered that someone else said something earlier, and that I talked about my no hitter through every inning in high school
I knew someone was gonna try and jinx it!

Does VEB absoutely blow in Firefox for anyone else?
I switched to Chrome and now have zero problems. Lately Firefox quality has really gone down hill.
Stat Whore
it's running fine for me
everynow and then the bandwith at work goes down while i am loading and retrieving files from the ftp server but other than that no problems.
I mean to post yesterday or whenever the discussion was
Firefox is MUCH better than it was last year, when it would load 100, then pause, then load 100. Seems to work pretty well this year.
I’m running 3.0.8 f yi.
It does that on my older computer
But whenever I switch tabs in firefox and go back to VEB it stops working. I have a fast computer also 3.0GHZ Quad Core with 4 gigs of Ram
