Are we one game off again? Open Thread - Cardinals at Astros

PrintSt. Louis Cardinals at Houston Astros, Sep 21, 2009 8:05 PM EDT
No table—I'd like to get this off before gametime, and I'm running a little late. Kyle Lohse is the subject of this take by chuck and this vaguely more optimistic one by VEP. Words of optimism: He "may provide enough value not to make his contract an albatross."
Wandy Rodriguez finally took a loss against the Cardinals, which makes him just a regular really good pitcher instead of a really good pitcher who makes me want to renounce my baseball fandom. He's playing for a new manager, Dave Clark, who will look to provide yet another weirdly brilliant capper to a mediocre Astros team's second half. I wish him good luck, but not yet.

for those not listening to the radio feed
Rooney spoke to McRae….he said he noticed the Cubs would show something to Cards hitters early and then throw the ball in the dirt, and the Cards would just swing away at it.
that was some fall-down defense

where was Quitnero when the throw came to him?
I can’t understand how they could get DeRo at third but not Ludwick at home….
You're not alone
I don’t know why he didn’t try to tag him. The throw was a bit late, but perfect.
The only thing was that he was a bit forward and Luddy came in behind him.
what the hell is

Who knows
but this is a huge start for Kyle
"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

It always seems that the Cardinals try too hard to mash one into the stupid left field porch...
…and end up with about 12 popouts to short instead. Bit of a head trip for them, I think…screwing up their mind grapes.

well, that wasn't as bad as we thought it would be. so far.

intersex conditions can be odd
it’s more a matter of ‘how different’ than different
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
Most of the sex characteristics we know
really are on a continuum more than they are absolutely binary.
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
Wait. How does she not identify as a girl?
Her family raised her as a girl. She has a girl name. Just because she isn’t feminine doesn’t mean she doesn’t identify as a woman.
"I’m going to come after you." - Chris Carpenter
So did I was a younger girl.
And guess what? I identify as a woman. I’m not sure you understand gender identity. I’m just saying there is a lot more at at stake for her than her medals. This is her life.
"I’m going to come after you." - Chris Carpenter
I know, but unfortunately she's kind of screwed
This was evidently more transsexual stuff than just tomboy stuff.
Let’s remove the pieces and she how she does in 2 years when she’s off the T.
The only thing I took issue with
is that you said you’d be pissed if you were biologically female. (Which she is, by the way. If she’s got a vajayjay, she’s probably an XXY.) At any rate, it doesn’t take being intersexual to have a different gender identity. And cross-dressing doesn’t make you a transsexual. Identifying as a man, even though physically a woman, would. I’m sure she knew she was different, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t think she was as woman.
"I’m going to come after you." - Chris Carpenter
Lots of girls do that
Not a lot of girls have their voice change and look ripped though. Surely everyone thought something was up.
Not afraid to nitpick
Why did the Astros switch SP with us for this game?

concur....
i gave up on the show towards the end of last year but am willing to give it one more shot
So...for the UZR ratings and Fielding Bible award...
I implore you stat geeks out there.
As we all know, Albert ranges way, WAY far to his right on many plays.
When he makes those plays, is he getting some ridiculous bonus for ranging that far or does it just get lumped into the category of “plays to his right”.
I swear I remember something that takes into consideration whether or not the play that is made could be made by a typical first baseman.
Long comment short…is Albert’s rating inflated because he steals so many balls from the second baseman???
I don't think he steals that many from the 2B
But when he does, he gets a bonus.
Not afraid to nitpick

I liked how

Guys like Bradley are exactly why we can't have a pumpkin patch anymore.

I rewound to the DeRosa homerun--he and Boog have a handshake I haven't seen before

was it a good play?!
i still can’t see the game. describe it and make sure to use big expressive hand gestures.
I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.
Albert had to reach for it up in the air
pulled him off the bag, though still got the out.

The only thing that would make this game better is a walkoff! - said in walkoff situations since 9/19/09
WALKOFFZ R MOAR FUNN! - used after walkoffs since 9/19/09
oh em gee
i finally found a proxy that it works
and the cards have 6 runs
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.

That sucks. I am wondering when I will have to switch to the non HD feed
because it’s been raining here since 4:30.

Wandy's a lefty
Colby and Ank are worse at hitting this particular lefty than Skip.
Guys like Bradley are exactly why we can't have a pumpkin patch anymore.
Did anyone here get an email saying they won the playoff ticket lottery?
