what's discouraging is
we lost to a AAA team last night (altho they had a good pitcher)… and Harang’s control is great; he also paid the home plate ump before the game
Good pitching will always keep you competitve so Cincy won't be an easy win as long as they have Cueto, Volquez, & Harang.
One other point…
Pujols has not been the same since getting plunked in the kidneys. That really pisses me off. It is like Hunter creaming Turgeon along the boards. Totally illegal and thug like just because you can’t win with talent.
*Rasmus is to CF as Longoria is to 3B*
well, they didn't hit albert intentionally
to me, it looks like he’s been swinging for the fences on every swing the last 2 days. Which is going to have the results we’re seeing.

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

would have been nice if Lohse had covered 1st
I have a love/hate relationship with the Cardinals' middle relief corps.
i'm really torn on the whole phantom tag at 2nd

i agree
part of me likes watching how smooth it all looks…but part of me is screaming, “he’s NOT out”
I was at an As game against the Angels
back in 04 at which an ump called the runner safe at second on a phantom call. I’ve never heard such swearing at a ball game. Oakland fans know how to yell.
I think Mulder might have pitched that game for the As – whoever it was gave up buckets and buckets of runs to the Angels.

Certainly glad we gave Lohse that extension
he is AWESOME
Really?
Aaron Fucking Harang? Why in the hell are we carrying twenty goddamned relief pitchers if you’re going to leave your starter hanging out to dry? This is ridiculous.
If you've got a blacklist, I want to be on it.
in lohse's defense
that’s probably the one time out of 100 that harang would actually get a base hit in that situation
Smell the Glove
Not the point.
Lohse should have already been out of this game whenever he started being completely unable to get the ball down. We’ve got only four men on the bench because Tony just HAS to have extra relief arms, yet somehow it’s still imperative to leave Lohse out there to save the bullpen or some other bullshit.

don't worry
once we go to the pen, he will use 7 in 2 innings
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
It's interesting,
the Reds still feel like a shitty team, yes, but I would kill to have their starting rotation instead of the shit sandwich that we have to watch run out there night after night. (Well, at least half of the nights.)

Earth, meet the Cardinals.
They’re going to be crashing into you shortly.

Dennys is thinking about Dennys right now

never question Tony.
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
we should trade Dennys for a cheeseburger
that would be awesome
When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom
here's hoping you learned your lesson Denny's

Cant watch this anymore. Horrible managing this Game Tony. Why leave KL in when he’s getting slapped around. I thought thats why we carry all those relievers. And then bring in the lefty specialist to face righties and leav him in to get mopped up too?
hm
When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom

2 nights in a row
the minute the cardinals game ended, the brewers busted it wide open. At least there is SOME joy to be had these days.

Fun game in LA (American League)
Greinke started for the Royals; they’re down 1-0 in the top of the 8th, but they have runners at 2nd and 3rd with one out. Greinke’s over 100 pitches, so I’d hope he’s done for the night. They can give him the win or at least get him off the hook here….

Bah! They hosed it up - 1-0 Angels going to the bottom of the 8th
by BTown Birds fan on May 9, 2009 11:01 PM EDT up reply actions
And Greinke's still pitching.
And I’m pretty sure I’m talking to myself.

Pretty tough first loss for the Zackster
Complete game four-hitter, loses 1-0.

New Rule: Dave Duncan can't be in USA Today anymore
ever since then, our starting pitching has been AWFUL.

probably more me than them
i posted the link to the article here a couple days ago. i should have known better. i’m the kiss o death
the Cards are two hours south of me, is it any wonder why they’ve had two sucky games?
i should probably move to Fiji. i think it’s in everyone’s best interest.

Not the game I was expecting
Well I was at this crappy game. My seats were great…11 rows up from behind home plate. The ump was REALLY giving Herrang a “home town strike zone” tonight…to put it lightly. I’m not saying Herrang pitched bad…but he had a lot of help tonight.
I don’t know about anybody else but I am growing tired of Thurston. He wasn’t any kind of threat at the plate tonight. I would have rather seen Barden but I am really hoping Glaus will get better a little quicker.
Albert had a bad game but the homplate ump wasn’t helping him either…I was rather bummed where he popped out to the catcher with two men on…uugh.
One other thing….Tonight was my first night seeing Rasmus in a live game setting. I wasn’t real happy with his at bats tonight. Not going to get too critical but I am starting to worry a little. He isn’t really setting the world on fire…I hope he gets into a groove soon and can prove he deserves to be in the bigs. Not real impressed so far…I hate to say but I think he will start to get it together soon.
Lohse had a bad night. I knew after that 30 pitch 1st inning it wasn’t going to be one of his better outings. Tony should have got him out there earlier. Just a pretty bad game all around. Ludwick’s homer was the only bright spot. I hope I see a better game the next time.
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
What has Rasmus shown that he doesn't
‘deserve to be in the bigs’?
by Hardcore Legend on May 10, 2009 5:52 AM EDT up reply actions
Seriously
from what I have seen, his approach at the plate has looked excellent and he is a very good defender.

I think Rasmus was so hyped
that a lot of people expected him to come up and start mashing homeruns and hit .350
He was also supposed to catch every fly ball anywhere close to the outfield,
Steal a base every time he got on, those rare occasions he didn’t hit a hr, discover a cure for cancer, and deliver us from evil.
I think there was talk about him taking over for Franklin out of the pen, too.
I also said
“but I think he will start to get it together soon.” Relax guys.
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
hasn't had a single GWRBI yet
oh, wait ;)
