Game 72 Open Thread: Cardinals at Mets

St. Louis Cardinals at New York Mets, Jun 23, 2009 7:10 PM EDT
 |
 |
| Pineiro | Hernandez |
| 5-8, 3.76 | 5-1, 4.18 |
Livan Hernandez is having his best season since that mid-career renaissance in Washington and Montreal, which was attributed at the time to a change in arm slot. This year his control is a little better than usual and he's found a strikeout per nine he left in his hotel room in Washington.
Speaking of which, Joel's actually rediscovered the strikeout, too, even as his walk stinginess goes on uninterrupted. Since striking out six and walking six in four April starts he's thrown up a May/June K:BB of 33:5; his seasonal ratio of 3.55 K:BB is good for eighth in the NL, behind a bunch of strikeout pitchers and Dan Haren. He deserves better than 5-8.

I'm sure it has something to do with the Cubs having a nite game...
Or at least that’s what the Cards fan in me wants to think… I think Champaign is a primary market for the Cubs… All will be ok. I found reruns of NHL playoff games.

I would say that Piñeiro and Welley really have traded places, except for one problem
There’s the swap in striking out more and the ERA… but Piñeiro’s FIP is 2.91, so he’s actually outperforming his ERA. That’s just crazy, Pitcher Formerly known as Piñata!
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "5.7 WAR" years.

but i had a friend at an old job who was from the PR, and he got really angry if someone thought he was from mexico. i mean you couldn’t even joke about it. don’t know if that’s typical feelings of folks from there, but those were his feelings.

Jo-el
in the past two years, he’s been worth 3.2 WAR, or ~ $15.5mn. if he pitches no better than replacement level for the rest of this year, then it still would end up being a pretty astute signing by Mo even though it looked like shit at the time.

I have a bad feeling
that Livan will pitch as good as Redding did (for most of the game) last night. We can’t seem to hit guys with high ERAs, and Pinata is becoming less and less reliable (going just 1-8 since starting 4-0)

I don't know your age
I guess if your older, it’s cool. But as someone in his mid 20’s, I hate it.
The weather sucks 90% of the year, the nightlife is pretty bad outside of a few cool spots on Washington Avenue, there is NO music scene to speak of, it just sucks.
Give me Chicago, Boston or LA any day. But all those places are out of my pay grade at the moment :)

Maybe we’re into different kinds of nightlife. I’m a craft beer drinker, like live music but I’m not an indie kid or scenester, and find St. Louis to be very enjoyable.
The massive number of spectacular microbreweries helps, along with good drinking places like 33, Mattingly, The Royale, etc.

Literally one minute ago a cop came up to our house to ask if I’d seen anyone in the alley in the last hour. Apparently one of my alley neighbors just had his mower and trimmer stolen from his garage.
Yadi had been barking his stupid head off a bit ago, but I had him come in from the back cause I figured it was just a squirrel or something stupid.
Good to know the cops show up, though.

I prefered Spain...
…but I also spoke passable Spanish at the time, so that may have something to do with it. I didn’t have the damndest clue what was going on half the time in France and had to rely on my now wife, then GF, who spoke pretty good French.
Apparently everyone over there speaks English now though. I went in ’94.

Actually, if you look up at my comment like three before this one, it says "At least he took it the other way"
Referring to Duncan. No idea how this one got below that one, it should have been the other way around.

Dear Mets,
I can throw 66. I’m willing to sign for the major league minimum. Low mileage on my arm. The glint off my polished frame adds to the deception. Think about it.
