| Pineiro | Stauffer |
| FIP 3.00 | FIP 4.17 |
Is it unreasonable to be a little concerned about Pineiro? He hasn't been quite as sharp of late as he'd been throughout the season, yielding 13 runs and 27 hits in his last 18.2 innings. It's gone unnoticed b/c he's actually 3-0 during that time period -- one more reason wins and losses are a horrible way to assess pitchers. In his last 2 starts against Pittsburgh and the Padres -- not exactly the '27 Yankees -- he's given up 6 runs in 13.2 innings. He seems to have been particularly vulnerable early -- giving up 1 in the first, 5 runs in the 2nd, and 2 runs in the 3rd in his last 3 starts. That's 8 runs in 9 innings over 3 starts. If I remember correctly, he's had some trouble getting the ball down early and that's led to some runs. After the 3rd, he's been better able to get the ball down and settle in.
Over the first 3 innings of his last 3 starts, he's given up 23 ground balls, 5 line drives, and 12 fly balls. Yes, it's still nearly 2:1 GB/FB but that's less than the 2.69 GB/FB ratio he has for the season. A few too many fly balls have led to some extra base hits over the last 3. In fact, 2 of the 5 homers he's given up this year have come during the first 3 innings over the last 3 games. Let's get him w/a lead in the 4th and we should be OK, right?

I realize that he is going to probably suck as a starter, but how cool is it that John Fucking Smoltz is a Cardinal?
Staying up late with my dad, uncle and grandpa to watch him and Jack Morris’ mustache dominate Game 7 of the ’91 World Series while we were at our cabin in Indiana is one of my favorite childhood baseball memories…
18 years later he’s going to help the Redbirds play cold baseball. This season rulez

he looks ready to rock on the pregame
i hope he really does have a lot left in that tank.
that Game 7 was amazing. but Game 6 was almost just as good. plus it had the great home run call by Jack.

I agree, "interesting" is a good characterization
It was not what I expected from the commercials, was fun and made you think both. But, don’t think too hard about it afterwards, lots of holes in the plot. Still, really good flick
I really liked it
I think a lot of people were expecting a different kind of movie. I was very pleasantly surprised. Might go see it again.

The Cardinals beat the Cardinals in 1982 NLCS
I didn’t think it was fair either but the year before we didn’t make the playoffs yet had the best record in the National League, so it all evened out.
Things got testy in Game 2 when Mex took Andujar deep in the 5th inning, only to have Andujar throw at his head in his next at-bat. The lone bench cleared, which was awkward since guys had to stand up, run out and then run back at each other.

I was at the sunday game and the wife and I arrived in StL on Saturday night, so I could’ve made it out, just didn’t have the time. When I’m at a game, I find myself looking around wondering if the annoying a-holes who always seem to be sitting around me could possibly be some of you annoying a-holes.

They score like eleventy runs a game. I really don’t want to see them in the playoffs, but I fear we have no choice.

will be our hardest competition I think. Lee and Hamels are tough to hit, their offense is hard to contain. Will be tough for anyone, but its the playoffs and anything can happen.

Late to the party. A couple of thoughts..

3. BOOOOOOOG. Yes yes the GS is nice but did you see that pick on the throw from Yadi? Serious skillzzz

until some jerk from the Domincan came around.
Shut up, Fritz™.
Griffey was still the best
even though he really wasn’t. I bat RH but in backyard HR Derbys, I would bat LH just so I could turn my hat backwards and do his stance.

Fun Boog Facts to consider
Ryan is making $403K this year, about $6M less than Khalil.
Ryan is only in his third year of MLB
Ryan is batting .294 and playing near gold glove shortstop
Ryan is 27 years old
I am officially a happy camper
27 is actually the start of the decline
he was owed moar playing time probably a year earlier
injuries slowed him down, I think.
