Could be worse. You could have gotten pantsed by the Twins the last two days running and about to face them on national TV tonight.

i said most negative, not only negative
I’m not going to have nothing but good things to say about what’s going on, nor should anyone else. But at least I put some effort to convey that I actually enjoy watching the Cardinals play.
I post plenty of positive things
but you’ve already made up your mind on my posting patterns, so you choose to ignore them.
Passion Pit, F*** Yeah!
That's fine...
actually these positive-negative debates are kind of boring. I just thought it was funny you hung the “most negative” title on someone three minutes after proclaiming a one-run game lost in the sixth inning.
ohh and yeah, shouldn't have posted it in hindsight
but I don’t know, for some reason Cuttah has gotten to me. Really it’s more my problem than anyone else’s.

That’s just assuming the guy won’t go, and Willie Bloomquist’s SCRP2 (Scrap-2, SCRP adjusted for ground-ball single scenarios and for all time) is 45.34, which is 21.2 points above league average.

I know he gave up 3 runs(2 if Dunc is not in LF) but Joel pitched another good game. Wish we had Luds back.

Jo-el should've won this game
he pitched well, offense/defense let him down.
Passion Pit, F*** Yeah!
the wheels were coming off that last inning
but he recovered. he pitched well up until then
Passion Pit, F*** Yeah!
Duncan and Rasmus's misplays didn't help
Passion Pit, F*** Yeah!
surely not
but the offense is just worthless all month….the only reason we’ve been on a winning streak is because the pitching has been fuckin heroic…..
+1
these guys gotta figure something out at the plate. Getting the Wick back will help immensely….Pujols has been pressing without protection.
Pujols #'s since Ludwick's injury
.333/.455/1.038
2 HR, 1K, 36 AB
That’s still rather good. The team needs Ludwick back, but not because it’ll make Albert better. It’ll be another guy who can actually hit.

Have we had a walk off win yet this year?
Today seems like as good of a day for one as any.
Passion Pit, F*** Yeah!
That's what I was thinking
although that assumes that we can make it through at least 1.5 more innings before the sky starts falling down.

What is going on...
with Lidge? Another blown save. He’s allowed a run in 11 appearances out of 21 this year. Injured?
That's true isn't it? Didn't he start to fall apart after Albert took him deep again this year?

Oh, but yeah, Soria has had great stuff for the Royals...
Sad really, they have some really good pitchers on this Royals team. Not a whole lot of hitting so far. They might get some if Jacobs starts hitting again.

He didn't
“forget” how to hit. He had wrist surgery last year. He had a weight- and energy-sapping flu bug. He just had wrist surgery again. Wrist surgery for a hitter is like shoulder surgery for a pitcher. It’s gonna take a season or so to bounce back physically.

Debbie is right. We need another bat. Luds is a start but unless Wallace is gonna sit down to field at 3rd bring him up.

Wow how can you not PH for captain clutch
in the 7th inning with the tying run in scoring position and 2 outs while facing a lefty
Chuck Norris doesn't need a bat.
he just roundhouse kicks the ball out of the park.
Ankiel never should have faced Bale
that’s bad managing, feeding into the traditional ‘hero’ complex Tony tries to get out of his players.
Ankiel didn’t even play rehab games and in his first game back they ask him to do something he is completely inept at doing ‘hit LHP’.

Honestly...
The Cubs series was pretty bad offensively, but the Royals are one of the best Run Prevention teams in the league, and we put up 5 against them twice. I don’t think the Crew’s pitching will hold up as well as it did last series, and ours should definitely be better, especially with Carp and Wainwright pitching. I think we could/should take at least 2 from them.
Yeah, it stinks to waste the effort of Joel today.
Really the defense behind him needed to just be average, and I think he gets a win.
In the end, lost the game because a ball hit as well as you can hit it didn’t drop. I can kinda accept that.
Adios Amigos I must go on a quest for more wine.

Just watched this game now on MLBtv
I have to say that, for some reason, that was, for me, our most frustrating loss of the year. More great pitching and the bats just looked appalling. Once they took the bat out of Albert’s hands you just couldn’t see anyone else making decent contact. We really look a mediocre team at the moment, except for the pitching. Holding KC to 3 runs when Brian f’ing Bannister is starting (although I’ll admit he pitched rather well, especially against the lefties we loaded the lineup with) we’ve really got to win.
Please don’t get swept by the brewers again, boys…
Because chicks dig the intentional base on balls.
Duncan
clobbered that final pitch. It just landed in a glove.
Two bad defensive plays and fan interference ruined Piniero’s start. Baseball is cruel.
