it wouldn't be so bad
if the cards were in fourth place
but they’re tied for first. and it’s barry f. zito
official petition
for an everyday outfield of Ludwick, Rasmus and Duncan?
Yadi swings and hits a high fly ball... Endy Chavez goes back, to the track, to the wall... ITS A GUNNER!! Yadi gives St. Louis the lead in the top of the ninth!
if ankiel was in left...
we’d be up 1-0

TLR is either lucky or good...
… i’m going with lucky, but 2 hits by both Schu and Dunc, and 2 XBH as well. plus he saved Stav for the highest-leverage situation.
it's one of those reasons

Yes, that's very helpful - you must have been a Boy Scout
I’d never heard of an ice road though, and they didn’t see any reason to clarify anything in that ad. After MUGATU’s and gdm’s comments I googled it, and it looks pretty interesting.
Sometimes advertisers get a bit too clever with their ads that tell you virtually nothing about what they’re actually advertising.

I was a Boy Scout, but only very briefly - never made it past Tenderfoot.
But if they’d had an ice road trucking merit badge, I probably would have… still quit as a Tenderfoot. That shit sounds way too scary for a turkey like me. I’d rather watch it on Netflix, which apparently I can! Thanks again, Internet!!

Matt Weiters hit a triple off of Verlander
It was actually a home run, but the wall was so scared it moved back 20 feet.
St. Louis Cardinals... defying win expectancy since 2008
Actually, I heard that in order to sneak back into the MLB
Amaury Marti went back to college and disguised himself as a cacausian catcher only to appear in tonights game against Verlander. The wall did move back 20 feet but it was due to the fact that Marti hit the ball so hard the force from the baseball as it moved towards the wall manifested as a hurricane force wind pushing the wall back the said “20 feet”.
"Rasmus doesn't hit lefties. Instead he bashes them over the head with their own bleeding arm he just raced to the mound to rip off before the ball arrives to the plate.

and luddy had an ops over 1.000 for the season
as late as august of last year. His best 17 games in that period: .365/.459/.769 1.228 OPS, 4 HR, 11 xbh, 12 RBI.
last season, troy glaus had a 17 game streak in which he went: .379/.453/.818 1.272 OPS, 7 HR, 15 xbh, 16 RBI
Duncan has had a couple of similar streaks, as well.

Of course
Pujols’ entire career has been about as good as those streaks

Oh no . I don't want any scotch while I'm Rolling please.

He then smashes that baseball with the pitchers bloody arm over the wall because he does not hit lefites he bashes them." Ted Lilly
two happinesses
of all the nice things about tonight’s game, the two I like the best:
… the ‘comeback’ of sorts gives Carpenter a W, big psychological boost there.
… when Rasmus stayed in the game after pinch-hitting he went to CF, moving over Ricky-Ticky, which means I can relax a little bit of my fear that Tony will play Ankiel as the CF when Rasmus is also in the game.
I mised Carp pitch
but saw most of the offense of the night

he was damn good
not perfect, but damn good
It kind of sounds like he’s [Duncan] just running around like a puppy out there – full speed ahead in random directions. – BTown Birds Fan
6 innings 2 runs 5:1 K:BB ratio
If that’s a bad start for him, then you know we have it good.

Watching the Rox game
why did that CF dive for the ball with a runner at 1st in the 9th? If he had just played it off the bounce, it would have been 1st and 2nd, not the end fo the game.

52 in deck from what I heard.
"Rasmus doesn't hit lefties. Instead he bashes them over the head with their own bleeding arm he just raced to the mound to rip off before the ball arrives to the plate. He then smashes that baseball with the pitchers bloody arm over the wall because he does not hit lefites he bashes them." Ted Lilly
Just got home from the game.
Lots of fun. Great to see so many cards fans in one place. I commented during batting practice that it looked like Busch Stadium. My section was, thankfully, mostly cardinal fans.
Oh, and rotowire reports back to back to back home runs by Pujols during batting practice. That is not true. It was back to back to back to back to back to back. He had five pitches and knocked them all out for home runs.
During his first few times up at bp he was getting under the ball, knocking it into the net. Then I saw him go over and talk to Hal MCrae and during the conversation he pointed to his wrist and talked a bit more. Then next time up, five home runs.
Some other notes, Duncan still looks like a kid excited to be on the field, Rasmus signed autographs for all fans in the area (giants staff stopped me from climbing a rail to get to him) and that Pujols guy sure can hit.

Sounds like a great night.

Also,
After Pujols hit those five bombs in batting practice, the crowd gave him a big round of applause, upon hearing this Ankiel took off his hat and took a bow.
Also, this happened:

FSN Midwest Radar Guns
Is it just me, or do there radar guns seem off? It said that Carp’s fastball was 90. WTF? On the highlights using FSN San Francisco, It said he was throwing 94. Both him and Franklin get there fastballs 93-94 mph, but the FSN Midwest radar shows them throwing 90 for some reason.
I watched the FSN feed,
And I could’ve sworn that it had Carp registering at 94 several times, in between 91 and 94 with the fastball. But I could be easily be mistaken.
If it is showing lower speeds, maybe it’s an ingenious plot to get other teams and fans to misunderstimate the velocity of our pitchers?
