Tony learned
he’s not leaving Boyer to face Fielder again. Thank you Tony for occasionally doing the obvious thing.
I do appreciate that he had to see it with his own eyes
yesterday to not do it again.

Shhhh

That's the spirit, Reyes!
They’ll never get a hit off you if you don’t throw a strike!

If Reyes had spun, Al
the stadium would have been sucked into his vortex.

Ok, maybe Dave is the one that needs canned
actually, the entire organization from top to bottom can’t throw strikes.
I blame Anthony Reyes.

no, reyes took all the pitching suckiness with him when he was dumped on cleveland. the real culprit is boyer, who brought it all back.

Weren't we just ragging on the Nats for all those walks a few games ago?
Well, the Cardinals throwing staff has beaten their total ALREADY, and the damn game isn’t over.

that Al has towards players. Brendan Ryan = not favorite.

It's hard because I like to work on the computer and listen to the game
peripherally but then I hear stupid thing about how Ryan “has to turn that double play.” despite barely being able to knock the ball down and I hurt on the inside.

All young players=garbage
They need to get off of his lawn. Albert blatantly screws up doing something crazy, and it’s chalked up to “being aggressive.” Brendan Ryan makes a similar mistake and it’s because he’s young and inexperienced and needs to get off of his lawn.

we bring in a LOOGY to face fielder
he is promptly walked…and the LOOGY is left in to face three straight righties…why do we have a an 8 man bullpen again?
You know, if Tony was really actually pissed
he’d send some of these guys down. But he’s not pissed. Sure, he’s mad they are losing but he still feels that he’s putting them in the right spots and they’ll prove him right….eventually.

I can't believe he still hasn't gotten tossed from the game
At the very least, I’d want the excuse to go take a nap rather than coach this crap night after night.

I think...
…he may actually be pissed at his players right now. I’d bet Duncan is anyway, considering the way he loathes balls and walks. I don’t know, who knows.

3 hit game for Walrus in Memphis
in case anyone wants to hear something positive about baseball.
I don’t know if Wallace should be in Memphis, but it’s exciting that he is.
You know, you'd really hate to see him get called up
and then burried on the bench once he struggles.
Right, Al?
Of course, you know, you could always SEND HIM BACK TO MEMPHIS.
Or…you know, play him!!!

That's two 3-hit games in three tries...
with an ohfer in the middle. He looks like he belongs right now…

why pull him after that? Reyes gets to walk the first guy he sees, who, coincidentally is the ONLY LHB he sees, and gets to pitch to THREE more RHBs? Counsells gets a base hit and Frank gets pulled?

Future Redbirds - tracking Cardinal prospects for Cardinal Nation
I'm out
can’t take this kind of insanity on top of bad baseball
Future Redbirds - tracking Cardinal prospects for Cardinal Nation
interestingly
Counsell was the one Brewer starter who hadn’t reached base yet. Usually he kills us IIRC.
it's because the cards treat the worst hitter on the opposing team as an offensive force
and try to pitch perfectly to them, then when they get behind they either groove one or walk the guy.
You know what I like?
I like that Pujols is 4 batters away, ala Grand Slam to tie it and Tony just used the last reliever in the pen.

I wish there was some way for our hitters to walk a Brewer

but then again, I still don’t see them really contending. people will figure out their pitching (I hope)

that’s what I was thinking when I posted this. ours is much the same, but then again if Wainwright has figured out his problem with walks, and Carpenter can do anything without falling apart, we will be pretty effective… if we can get our hitters back in a reasonable amount of time. dang, that sounds depressing

I thought they were going to be a pretty bad team
with no pitching and no bullpen and I still feel that way.
They seem to think that their hitters are being more disciplined in taking walks, I say it’s just our pitching.

I know I said I wasn't sure if Wallace shoudl be in AAA so this is going to sound contradictory
But why not just go one level more, I can’t be the only one with no confidense that Glaus will come back. I also can’t be the only one who’s tired of not having an impact bat at 3rd.
There needs to be a trimming of the MIFers on the roster, whether that be through Craig, Wallace, I don’t know.

quick
change the channel before you have to see these a-holes prancing around with their shirts untucked
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
it's really silly if after seeing the Cards walk a billion guys, untucking of shirts makes you angry.
I’m pretty numb to insignificant stuff like that.
not insignificant to me
but, it doesn’t make me angry. I just think its sophomoric. The excuse they give doesn’t work either. So, if Cameron’s dad had the decency to wait til he got HOME to untuck his shirt, why does it make sense for these guys to do it in public?
But, anyways, thanks for letting me know I’m"really silly."
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
i find the fact that a team goes out and high fives themselves after a game
the whole after game etiquette was just decided arbitrarily.
I think I agree. What is the point of that?
They are all heading to the same place, why the hand slapping?
But, not to stray from the point, I just think taht it’s classless, a slap in the face of the other team. I know in my playing days we wouldn’t have been too impressed with a bunch of guys rubbing it in like that. Granted, I just played NAIA baseball, maybe the big leaguers don’t care about that stuff.
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
+1
I can’t believe how much controversy there’s beenover the shirt-untucking thing. Jeez, get over it already.
sorry
I’ll try not state anything else that bugs me that may bother you. Its just a case of different strokes for different folks. It doesn’t bother you, but it annoys the hell out of me.

In total that’s 46 RF and 71 RA.
