so, McClellan is having a pretty good year

Mark of the Rose does it again
On Chris Carpenter in the 2009 Cy Young Race: "He's got one," Wainwright said. "He doesn't need another one."
I hope we can rely on Smoltz in relief in the postseason...
Otherwise this bullpen may screw up the whole thing.
V, b.
man
that would be one SUCK ASS 8th inning combo of Smoltz and Miller
and if Carp, WW and Pinata can pitch 7 innings a night… i’d feel pretty damn good about giving Motte the ball in the 7th inning once every 4 or 5 games

Leadoff walk to Albert, followed by our 4th place hitter popping out, our 5th place hitter looking at 3 straight strikes (backwards K), and a weak groundout from our 6th place hitter.
The uninitentional-intentional walk to Albert = the right move in this situation.

oh
expecting Holliday to bring back a homerun, no matter how easy it likely was, is a pipe dream. I never realized how bad he is defensively.
I remember when we made this trade
and Peter Gammons was calling Matt Holliday the best LF in all of baseball.
I still think he’s been pretty effin’ awesome for us, robbing a HR or not.
He is (or was)
it’s just best LF is a tallest midget contest.
No offense, little guys!

That was pathetic...

Please take this comment in the spirit it was intended.
Our reliever:
29 pitches over 1.2 IP, 3 H, 2 BB, 2 ER (including a HR to some dude named Keppinger).
Their reliever:
22 pitches over 2 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 0 ER (this includes navigating through the heart of the order after issuing a leadoff walk to Albert).
I’d say that’s the difference in the game, no?
I guess on the GOB side, at least K-Mac takes the loss. It sucks when relievers blow leads and then end up getting the W.
Hawk was pulled for Diner, yeah?
