I can feel something
But what it is I'm unsure
Is it momentum?
In addition to our standard nightly haiku, I also bring you a response to my morning query of a proper bit of poetry for Pineiro, courtesy of reader Phredbird:
The cardinal pitcher named Jo-El
Is not a guy you would know well
But when he faces a Met
You know how to bet
And Card fans smile like it’s No-el!

regardless if it's him or Duncan
Pujols should have anywhere from 2-4 IBB tonight
How did the pig corner the breakfast market?
fine by me.

I understand the IBB theory
but not sure if I agree with it yet this year. Failure probably just sticks out more than success, but I can guarantee you that if I was a manager, Pujols would never see pitches with 1B open.
How did the pig corner the breakfast market?
yeah
but he gets hits less than half the time, and you would be putting him on base all the time

you should go back and reread chuckb's article.
if you’re more of a “show-me” type — sorry — then you should read sleepy’s comment looking at how it worked out for managers who had that choice.

time to go home
won’t be around a computer for the game, so GO CARDS!
I think Thompson will do well, because the Mets are Muts and we all know how Thompson feels about dogs(puppies)
How did the pig corner the breakfast market?
Here is my TLR roster complaint of the day
Why not bat lil’ Dunc #2 and Colby #4 instead? Dunc can at least draw a walk occasionally (and forced Mets to pitch to APu last night), and Colby provides the best protection behind APu at this point.

CWS Title game is tonight so I’m going to be watching that. I’m hoping that LSU wins so I don’t have to hear about how awesome small ball is after the game!! Besides, as a good Mizzou fan how could I cheer for UT???

we need to package ank, glaus, wallace a bull pen arm or 2 and go for a big righty hitting of
hmm..
I would not deal Glaud given he will probably not play on the last year of his contract or Wallace cuz I have a serious man crush on this guy. But yeah, totally get your point, BIG BAT NOW

my habit is flipping the remote … have broken a bunch of remotes
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
When we were eliminated in 05
I threw the remote against the wall to see if it bounced…
It didn’t. Screw my anger management issues

but Ank is really a zero positive player right now

when they throw the ball up over the plate?

The OF hasn't sucked all year....
just Ankiel…minus that Marlins series, Rick hasn’t hit all year and he needs to sit.

No, he sucked at the begining of this year
and the end of last year.
he’s just a bad hitter.

as good as Carp is, I have very litle faith in the Cards being able to score at all against Johan

I have a feeling that if we sent Rick and Dunc to AAA....
they would still struggle?
Baseball's concept of athletes is all wrong. Batter cannot walk with 4 balls.
Duncan sucked at AAA when he was demoted last year
he was like 2 for 30 or something, and they still called him back up.
beacuse APu strained his calf and they needed a 1Ber

I wouldn't go that far
although we aren’t great, the team just isn’t able to sustain a breakout

I imagine him asking Larue, “What’s a 7 letter word for instant offense?”
