Wow
Kick off this post by noting that Thurston just swung at a 3-0 at his FUCKING CHEST!!!
He read VEB today and saw that I supported him (sort of) by saying, among other things, that he walks. Then he swings at a ball at his throat, as if to say EFF YOU REDBIRDNATION I DON’T NEED YOUR EFFING HELP!

The first swing was on 3-0, and then he laced one on the 3-1

ya know the brewers could use
a player w/ suspect defense, no power and a strong inclination toward base-running gaffs. He’s just the kind of guy D-Bag Braun was wanting
Since you mentioned it on the lead-in...
anyone else think we have the worst medical staff in sports? I’m so sick of “we’ll give it rest and see if it heals…ooops season-ending surgery”
and now back to enjoying a 4-0 lead w/ the Mil already coming into the game.
how about whoever keeps extending the careers of guys like Shaq, Nash and Grant Hills
the suns guys have it figured out
how about Lance Armstrong's doctor?
maybe Lance Armstrong needs a left-handed slugging first baseman….
I heard SF was looking for one too.

No, no, no.
06 was payback for 68, right? The whole, Ford/Granderson, thing, the underdog winning the series, blah blah blah… so, I say we’re still owed for 85. I’ll take payment this year, thank you.
no way
the 06 WS was the result of two things: the Cards got swept by an inferior team in 04, so the GOB knew they owed us one. Then that chuckefuck in USA Today said “Tigers in three,” and the GOB were compelled to act.
The Kenny Rogers game was their way of keeping the Detroit fans’ hopes up.
Nope, I think we’re getting punished becase of some iffy managerial/roster decisions. The GOB don’t like 8-man bullpens, apparently. And maybe they were Barton fans, too, who knows.
hahah
ugh the ’04 WS was awful.
ok so we’re even w/ the GOB for ’06 one way or the other. what do we have to do to get back in the their good graces!?!?
Thurston first.
Sacrifice him to the island volcano called the Nats. That should be some major appeasement.

but seriously, the Wallace thing is pretty hilarious
the idea that he’s not ready is laughable. Ready as in what? Defense? Offense? Baserunning?
I gauran-damn-tee he can outperform Joe Thurston on every conceivable f’n level. 10 errors or less at 3b? check. Not running into outs at 3b? Check. Hitting greater that .211 w/ 1 hr? HUGE F’N CHECK!! He’s a better option than Thurston, period. And i realize I’m preaching the choir
here's the mindblowing thing
Ankiel’s OPS so far = .656, which is actually < Thurston’s (.674).
That doesn’t reflect the baserunning brain seizures, or the fact that Ankiel is not a defensive liability. But having both those guys in the regular lineup is really hurting the team. Imagine where we’d be with replacement level guys in those spots.

I'd rather see him put the ball in play, even if it's weak contact
than strike out a dozen times….one of these Brewer fielding experts can whiff on a routine popup, but a K is just an out.
phantom injury time?
could he be put on the DL and then serve a rehab stint in Memphis…

They got rid of the no Sunday liquor sales blue law last year. This legislative session there was a HUGE fight about selling full-strength beer in grocery stores. Liquor stores won this time around, but I think it’ll fall in the near future – and the way will be paved for future alcohol sales in stores.

it's because of the rehab
from what I understand.
It has nothing to do with the actual tendon replacement (or is it a ligament? I dunno, I’m an English teacher), but rather all the work they go through to come back.
I believe if the average pitcher who wanted to improve and had no need for Tommy John just did the rehab, they’d probably get the same results. But again, that’s just what I’ve come to understand from hearing random other people who SEEM to know what they’re talking about. There are evidently a lot of people that frequent this board that know more about the human body than me with my freshman year of H.S. biology class background.

it’s not really the absolute # of pitches, it’s the amount of stress in any given inning. The only time the Brewers have seriously threatened to score was the 2nd.
10 pitch inning for the 8th
whether it’s crazy or not, it worked just fine. I wouldn’t have let him go back out, but there it is….
true, i'm glad he's still cruising
but it’d be a shame if his arm was tired for the next start is all i’m saying
with a 5 run lead it's not worth risk imo

Saves:
Rule 10.20 in the Official Rule Book states:
Credit a pitcher with a save when he meets all three of the following conditions:
(1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and
(2) He is not the winning pitcher; and
(3) He qualifies under one of the following conditions:
- (a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or
- (b) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat, or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batsmen he faces; or
- © He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game.
He would have needed one more base runner to qualify for (b)

win and we didn’t have to use the pen (for all intents and purposes) and the starter was still going strong in the 9th. I’m fine with that.

I won;t disagree that he should have been pulled
but it’s not like they hit him hard there.
"I usually don’t read other peoples sigs." -Cuttah
yeah
he should be OK to pitch tomorrow, since he didn’t really work.
Warming up itself is work, but not I think it’ll be OK. Still would have rather seen anybody else in the bullpen.

maybe not
but he’s not a scrub or fill-in. He hit like this in the minors, too. His SLG might come back to earth, but his OBP is bound to go up if he takes a few pitches.

Ludwick appears to be back
So there’s that. When Lohse comes back at least the pitching will be solid for the most part.
Lot of holes still. But the Brewers don’t worry me at all unless they trade for a starting pitcher.
but it goes the other way too
seems to me we’re in another one of these sick starting pitching runs. Maybe Ludwick will go on a tear. Maybe Molina/Schumaker/Ankiel will get a hold of some pitches.
Sounds pessimistic to me
I’m ready for an 04-esque run w/ Colby, Lud and Albert as the MV1, ROY1, and dude1. Patent pending.
"I usually don’t read other peoples sigs." -Cuttah
Holliday as Walker?
As long as Walrus isn’t involved, and it means Ank/Dunc never start again, I approve.
"I usually don’t read other peoples sigs." -Cuttah
No dice.
Luddy and him are the same player. I’m not paying a redundant piece for a costlier redundant piece.
"I usually don’t read other peoples sigs." -Cuttah
luddy and holliday
at the corners, and colby up the middle? (plus no more ankiel or duncan!)
by hangingfromatree on Jul 7, 2009 11:27 PM EDT up reply actions
agreed
i asked cause luddy is still in the rumors and i see no reason to make the trade if it involves him or wallace
haha i have no idea really
I doubt Mo gives up Luddy for him not that he’s heating up so I just don’t think the deal gets done
D Jones (or Jay)/Todd/Duncan/C grade pitcher
/overpaying, but I think it’d be worth it.
"I usually don’t read other peoples sigs." -Cuttah
i could live w/ that tho i'd miss Jones
wonder if (shudder) Todd is the PTBL in the DeWristo deal though
if it means a deep run this fall
then it could be a good idea

holliday has said he like stl so maybe the extension wouldn't be insane

it might also keep albert happy if he believes holliday is the protection he lacks
perception is reality type of thing.
but yeah every deal better keep in mind paying albert down the road
if there are still talks
something should ought to happen soon.
by hangingfromatree on Jul 7, 2009 11:38 PM EDT up reply actions
That's not really overpaying all that much
Hell, if we don’t re-up Holliday, and he doesn’t go to a team signing two Type A’s, then it’s not a bad deal at all.
Is very bad to steal A-Pu's rum...is very bad.
by Power Slurve on Jul 7, 2009 11:35 PM EDT up reply actions
trading Jones
would be a HUGE mistake and I suspect we’ve already traded Todd.
Jones may turn out to be a star and I’m not trading him for 2 months of Holliday.
When was the last time
The cardinals traded away a PTBNL who was in AAA and already had a cup of coffee at the major league level?
I'm really high on Jay
so trading Jones wouldn’t hurt me as much.
I just think the Cards have such a great window right now to take the central, they have to make another move — even if it takes losing a Jones & Samuel/Todd — and it has to go along with Ank and unc not starting anymore.
Maybe it’s not getting a new OFer (Holliday, Wells, Rios) If it’s getting a 2Bman (is anyone even on the market?) and moving Skip back to left, that’s fine. Taking those two out of the starting lineup is the most important thing now.
"I usually don’t read other peoples sigs." -Cuttah
I still think the best trade we can make
is Wallace/Lohse/Duncan/Jay/ LaRussa
for
Halladay/Rolen/Gaston
Rolen moves Thursty to 2b, Skip back to left, and Ank to even more time on the bench.
but hey, your proposal has a much better chance of actually happening

so i just heard about the DeRo thing, and i have a few questions
when is his surgery scheduled for?
why the fuck is thurston playing when Barden is here to replace him?
is MO stupid, gullible, or both?
and finally, will the Cards ever have a real 3rd baseman who’s not injury prone?
great win tonight. wish i could have seen it. it’s a damn shame i can’t enjoy it considering the injury bug has bitten the team again.
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

no idea about thurston….

what’d mo do?
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
is it a cowinkidink the last two players he traded for are on the DL?
and they probably will be the rest of the year. he didn’t do his home work on KBot, and it looks like according to some that he didn’t to his home work on DeRo.
especially considering all the gave up for DeRo, this looks really bad on him. i don’t think i’m overreacting, am i?

Stress Test of Mobile Posting
Success!
I’m not much of a texter, but the posts went in pretty cleanly. Sucks that my Blackberry doesn’t page down quickly, only other niggle was a wide-ass image that made it damn near impossible to get the cursor all the way over to the scroll bar.
Brew Crew fans are not very imaginative with their jeers. Mostly limited to them giving me and my brother crap about our custom BP jerseys that have our last names rather than actual Cardinals, butchering the pronunciation to try and get a rise. I reassured them that 2-3 more beers before diving home should make the rest of the pain of losing go away nicely, TYVM.
Brother is taking the return driving duties, so don’t worry about me posting while on the road home. Gonna sleep with a smile on my face tonight — GO CARDS!

This news on DeRosa is just bumming me out big time
What luck… Does he have another PA for the cards?
the cardinals luck at 3B this season is just unreal
First Troy Glaus goes down, then David Freese, then Joe Mather, then K-bot, now Derosa. Barden and Thurston were simply awesome in the first month, but they aren’t going to recapture that. It just really really really sucks. Here’s hoping Wallace starts blasting some homers and driving in a serious amount of runs in AAA
