Around SBN: Don't Blame Wes Welker

90-65

Let's review what we learned tonight:
Adam Wainwright is a horse.
Ryan Ludwick is not slumping any more.
Yadi left the game with a bruised knee, but this surprisingly led to a chain of events which resulted in everyone getting a free snowcone.
Ryan Franklin still sucks.
Joe Thurston really does suck, in a non-light-hearted, carefree internet sarcasm, ha ha chuckle chuckle wink wink nudge nudge kind of way.
"Shrinking violet" refers to a shy person.
They throw rolls at you in Sikeston.
Tony LaRussa is CRAZY WAZY.

Did I forget anything?

before he was starting on a regular basis, he was terrible at the plate IIRC

by nota bene on Sep 27, 2009 12:18 AM EDT up reply actions  

I think that's partly a product of playing time

His timing is crap if he hasn’t seen live pitches in a while. s’why I hold my breath whenever he comes back from a layoff. he was scouted as a decent hitter in the past.

it’s all he needs to be. Be able to make reliable contact and have a decent OBP. His defense is what puts him on the roster.

i'm hoping he gets smarter about the basepaths

he’s got good speed.

yeah, lots and lots of things about boog are just unpolished. but he really turned the corner mentally and physically, and he’s been working his tail off. that’s what’ll endear him to Cards fans more than anything else.

I picked a hell of a time to step out of STL.

I’ve been up here in Chicago for two weeks, was supposed to come home on Thursday but decided to extend the trip to next Thursday (looking for a PR job), and I would have kicked myself if my buddy’s Comcast package didn’t come through with a free preview of MLB Network. This wasn’t a game I could watch – soundless – at a bar.

Just have to say, and it isn’t hindsight, I was deadset AGAINST Wainwright being taken out in the eighth. This was his win to get or his to lose, and it showed the competitiveness and the fucking balls this guy has to touch 130 pitches for a Giambi strikeout. Lately, he’s been a bad-luck-loser or getting no-decisions and it would have been horrible for someone else to come in with his men on and risk taking away his win.

It was the right move and I give Tony credit for going against the situation and letting his player, just this once, play the game for HIMSELF. I have no doubt in my mind, Tony thought ’Waino’s earned the right to finish this on his terms, and put himself in line for 20 wins.’ And sure enough, Adam nutted up and got it done in fine form.

Go Cards. Heal your aches, go over your game plans and come out firing throughout these playoffs.

albert is one wily dude
First he had to have the right tool. A big basin of ice-cold water, sprinkled liberally with ice cubes, ones still left floating from the stuff they packed the champagne. Second, he had to have a hiding place. If Albert Pujols was going to pull this off again — another celebration, another stalking — then he had to find a place that manager Tony La Russa wouldn’t see him.

Third, he needed an accomplice.

Third-base coach Jose Oquendo handled that well.

Urging La Russa from the coaches’ office in the visitors’ clubhouse here at Coors Field, Oquendo led the skipper into a semi-annual trap. Out from behind a tandem of large shipping containers, Pujols popped with a tub full of the ice water. With Oquendo no longer urging, but pushing La Russa toward Pujols — the tub dumped right on top of the managers’ head. Pujols called it one of his most successful Tony dips ever.

"I get him every year," Pujols said. "He doesn’t make it easy. Every year he tries to stay away, and it gets tougher. But this year, I got him. I think I got him good."

Home field

I feel these last two games have shown that the Cards don’t need home field to succeed in the playoffs.

They’re going to send in Carp and Adam for the first two games. In a playoff atmosphere with a hostile crowd and a dangerous offensive team whose backs are against the wall facing a shrinking Wild Card lead, they just threw 15 innings yielding only 3 earned on 15 hits. Provided the bats overcome their current bout with narcolepsy, repeating that performance would have to get the Cards at least a road split, if not up 2-0, and a chance to win the series at home.

I'm joking

But I just can’t figure it out. The value of say 20% down on a mf’ing HOUSE and still being married vs. 6 hours of overblown ceremony where at least 80% of the people there don’t want to be there till the reception…and on day 2 you’re in the same situation. I can’t fathom how those two are equal. It’s a dissonance in my head that will never be resolved.

because

most of those house where made with subpar materials. And 3 years is extremely short term. Houses are decades long investments.

And yes, livability should factor into every decision when buying/upgrading a house. But it doesn’t hurt to consider resale value of a house when buying upgrades like counter tops / Cabinets / flooring. Because when you got to sell it in 10-15 years due to life style changes you will be able to recoup as much money as possible.

I haven’t been there in a decade or more since I moved to CHicagoland. After our last visit I heard about some drama concerning the owner’ s suicide.

Hmm. I think last time I was tehre was the year after our last annual Current River trip. A friend flew us over the flooded Mississippi in ‘93.

If the Cardinals had clinched against the Cubs, I’d have expected the dissing. But the Cubs were 1000 miles away from the clinching.

Perhaps it’s due to delusional individuals like himself that predicted the Cubs to win the division by 5 games. And this was at the All-Star break no less, when it was clear they weren’t very good. I’m sure it was more like 15 games in the spring.

Indian Ball...

a fly to right is an automatic out.

Ghostrunners only advance one base at a time.

I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.

my mistake

i trusted the only newspaper in town to be able to post accurately.

by ubeddie on Sep 27, 2009 2:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

why not Khalil at third, DeRo in right and Luddy in center?

TLR’s probably decided to have some fun with a names-out-of-a-hat scenario. wait, what am i saying…TLR doesn’t have fun…“he works in professional baseball.”

he's young

that’s the last stage of development, just about the tail end, so that’s the last window for body changes.
