PrintSt. Louis Cardinals at Pittsburgh Pirates, Sep 5, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
 |
 |
| Boggs | Ohlendorf |
| 3.94 FIP | 4.95 FIP |
Ohlendorf walks fewer than 3 per 9 innings but doesn't strike out that many batters. He's been hurt by the long ball this year as he's been a fly ball pitcher and, as a result, has a 1.33 HR/9. Look for a fastball, a slider, and a change from the righty but only the slider has been a plus pitch for him this year.

Anyone who doesn't think
Jennifer Beals is the hottest girl EVER in Flashdance can leave and go post on BCB for the night.
Yes. I am watching the Oxygen channel before the game.

well, she was on the cover...
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess she was the hottest girl in “the grudge, part 2”, as well.
it's Clydesdales vs Goats. Actually sums up Cards vs. Cubs quite nicely. -all4tookie
she appeared at a fundraiser
for the non-profit i used to work for. she’s the most beautiful woman i’ve ever seen in person.
but the org had to pay $1000 for her hair and makeup, so she’d better damn well look hot.

ah crap
it’s Ricky doing play by play.
I have a love/hate relationship with the Cardinals' middle relief corps. | Cards on Cards
is anyone watching the game on directv?
I am trying to figure out which channel it is on… it’s on fsn tonight right?

I really hated that 3rd and long conversion with Gabbert throwing off his back foot in the face of a blitz
Not afraid to nitpick
what about that bubble screen to mr. perry
that was full of suck as well.
by stlcardinalsfang on Sep 5, 2009 7:16 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm totally getting ahead of myself
But I pretty quickly thought to myself that he has all the physical tools to be a Heisman. If he develops the 3rd down physical running edge of “I’m getting this fucking first down and you aren’t stopping me” the next 2 hopefully 3 years are going to be fun as can be. He can win games by himself if he pans out.
Not afraid to nitpick
hopefully it will be fun
seems like the real deal. needs to work on being under pressure though.

I think he figured it out after that first drive
The list of QBs who can make that 28 yard pass on the 3rd down conversion pass is probably 5 people long.
Not afraid to nitpick
two others are in the same conference...
by stlcardinalsfang on Sep 5, 2009 7:28 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't think Bradford or McCoy can make that throw
QBs can’t throw off their back foot 28 yards with a blitz 2 feet away. I’ve got Cutler, Stafford, JaMarcus Russell, Flacco and Ryan Mallett. Surely I’m missing some college QBs but not many. I’d say Favre but he’d end up missing by 20 yards.

So I just saw the lineup...
LOL. I guess it does make sense to give everybody the same day off when you have a huge lead, but I was a little taken aback.
V, b.
Usually umps are so timid about calling runners out at first on pickoffs
But Colby Rasmus gets tagged on the head and is called out?
Grumble grumble.
I think his helmet falling off didn't help.
Angel interpreted that as a tag to the helmet.
Not even sure if the glove made contact.

i've always had this fantasy
Of a dynamic schedule. Where you’d play half a season or something and then set the schedule for the second half so that good teams/teams contending with one another could play more of their games against one another so that they had more juice.
It’s totally unworkable. But it would make the games more compelling.
Also, I hate baseball announcers. They think that when they have a good time viewers enjoy themselves. But the announcers job is to create drama, not to make fun of people in the fucking stands.
Ricky, how else are you supposed to hit a low pitch...
…other than dropping the bat head.

i should take credit for that i literally just turned the game on when the ball was sailing
Chuck Norris doesn't need a bat.
he just roundhouse kicks the ball out of the park.
So just a moment too late to take credit?
