| Pineiro | Maholm |
| 3.07 FIP | 3.91 FIP |
As for Maholm, how many times have we faced this guy this season? Are they messing w/ their rotation just to guarantee that we see him in every series? Will they trade him to the Brewers so that we see him later in the week? Actually, we've only seen him twice and we're 1-1 against him, putting 4 runs on him each time. We have faced him 9 times in his career and have hit him fairly well -- surprising considering we haven't hit lefties all that well over the last few years. He's faced the Astros, though, 12 times, the Reds 14 times, and the Brewers 15 times. I guess he owes us a few games.
Trying to get another sweep. Win or lose, it's been a good week and we should run out a fairly tough lineup considering what we gave Boggs to work with yesterday.

Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
Except you may not know what the score is for most of the trip.

Holy crap
I just moved to the west coast, and still haven’t totally gotten used to the baseball time shift. It’s Sunday, it’s 10:00 AM, I wake up…and the Cards game is about to start? Wuh?
Helluva way to start a day, eh?
by MaytheForschbewithyou on Sep 6, 2009 1:30 PM EDT up reply actions
Except for
every half of the inning when they say it and the multiple times in between.
Shut up, Fritz™.
On behalf of the west coast, I say welcome.
Just wait until the NFL games start at 10 a.m. It’ll blow your mind grapes.
I’m in LA. u?
defy, cards, defy. hey logic --- you suck.
Try 7:00am NFL games in Hawaii
The only thing that helps is when the time changes, the games start at 8:00 instead. We dont do daylight savings time
But you're in Hawaii!

Is Zach Duke, not Maholm. And he kinda dominates us, IIRC.

OT: Does anyone know a good place to sell books?
I have a few hundred extra books that I need to get rid of. Does anyone know a good place to sell them?
I've sold a bunch that way, too.
If you’re looking to get rid of them in one fell swoop, good luck. Most places are picky.
I would pick through, sell the ones worth selling, and then donate the rest to a veterans group or something.

save that line for a time when the Blues actually ahve goalie issues. For the first time in a few years, they’re solid this season…hopefully.

I had to come about what teams to support on my own
My dad likes racing and that’s about it… Wings were always on TV when I started watching hockey… I just kinda gravitated towards them.

I'm not ashamed to admit
that a major crush on Steve Yzerman led me to love the Red Wings.

I'll always remember that hit
where Yzerman on one knee took out Pronger who was trying to cheap shot him… ah memories

fair enough.
Wings. yuck. Go Blues/Blackhawks!
I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.
Anyways it's not like Nogood is what I'd call a wall in net...
I still remember the issue he had on the long goals too much to ever see him as a good goalie…
"The Cards lead this game tied 1-1." -Mike Shannon
you know why i love hockey?
it’s the only sport I can watch and – regardless of what teams are playing – still get into it — including Detroit. I can’t say that for baseball…i quickly tire of watching other teams. And football…well, what’s football, again?
I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.
I'm pretty much the same way
except I can also do the same for college basketball

Probably depends on what provider we go with.
I think you can go up to 16. Anyone know of any that offers 16+ teams?

Or we could set up two 8 team leagues.
I guess it depends on who all is interested.

However if you’re smart enough to organize live drafts I cool with that… can’t speak for anyone else though.

Geez...
did LaRussa really bunt with no outs in the first inning??
This is the kind of bizarre shit we’ll see more and more of as he ages. Better to cut him loose sooner.
Please take this comment in the spirit it was intended.
Can anyone come up with the logic behind doing that in the first inning?
Especially against the Pirates. Oh how I wish the ST. Louis media would ask him why he does that.

It's not logic,
it’s Major League Baseball.™
"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
There's no logic
It’s idiocy. If you’re playing for a single run in like the 9th inning, fine, I see situations where it makes sense. But in the first inning with Pujols and Holliday coming up and decent speed on second? SO DUMB.
The irony is
These were the sort of situations that Larussa DIDN’T bunt in in close playoff losses that ended up costing the team possibly 2 more trips to the World Series (1996 game 6 vs Braves, 2001 Game 4 vs Arizona)

Pirates announcers
“I don’t want anyone to tell me that Ohlendorf was facing a lineup without Pujols and Holliday…and Derosa…Molina. These were major league hitters on a first place team.”
Yes, all it proved is that Pittsburgh would still have trouble winning games if they actually played in AAA.
hilarious
I love the continued tacking-on of names that weren’t in the lineup yesterday. It was a de facto quadruple-a exhibition game.

He pitched well last night against the lineup that the Cardinals put out there.
But at the end of the night, he was still Ross Ohlendorf.

Ohlendorf remains the quintessential #4 starter

Ohlendorf has been quite good this year
He struggled a lot early in the year, but he’s been good-to-great since June. He’s no ace, but he’d be a steady #3 w/ #2 potential in a lot of lineups.
defy, cards, defy. hey logic --- you suck.
He was a top Yankee prospect
He was expendable and pitched poorly in his time in the AL, but his skills seem adequate for the NL
by olddomination on Sep 6, 2009 2:14 PM EDT up reply actions
agreed
My assessment definitely rings more true in the NL. I think some people forget that most teams don’t have Carp & Waino at the top of their rotation. It doesn’t always take ace stuff to be a #3 or a #4 on a team.
defy, cards, defy. hey logic --- you suck.
Was reading some posts at the Royals blog
about “how to enjoy losing baseball indefinitely” or something like that (could apply to the Pirates too, I’d guess). Sometimes I forget how lucky we are to watch Pujols, WW etc regularly and to have hope every spring.

Cards teams of the late 80’s and early 90’s I can really appreciate how rare it is to still be talking postseason baseball in mid-september. It’s why I never want to see LaRussa/Duncan go, no matter how much their behavior confuses/infuriates me.

Another nice thing
If you go to the previous day’s game, it’ll show you a 10-20 minute condensed game. Every AB of the game (with no play-by-play, it seems). So even if you don’t watch it live, you can see the rallies and strikeouts and everything. Plus the video updates are nice during live games.

here's how
1) Click the game from the list on the homepage
2) The game details will show up at the bottom of the home screen. Click the red circular “.tv” button.
3) It will give you the option of purchasing the game. Or I think you can watch automatically if you’ve paid for mlb.tv, but you have to login first.

It uses your phone’s GPS to determine your location, so I’m not sure if there’s an easy way to get around them. Maybe if you turn the GPS in the phone off it’ll offer a different way to finding your location.

It can be a bit annoying, though
you have to tell your phone not to go to power-saving mode. otherwise the screen keeps going dark. And if the game goes a full 3 hours, the battery might be gone.
BUT…
It is freaking sweet. realtime Gameday, box scores, radio for either team (Lets you choose) and live TV if you pay for it. Not a bad deal overall.

it asked if it could use my current location, well it forced me to use it. It then went to using my current location to determine blackout restrictions. Finally it told me I was in an area authorized to view this game.

The Wild Card is most likely going to come out of the West, barring a collapse by both Colorado and SF.
Which means we’re playing Philadelphia in the NLDS, most likely.

So if two teams come from the NL west, wouldn’t philly play one team and we play the other in the NLDS? Maybe i’ve got this wrong.

St. Louis manager Tony La Russa worried about the focus of Franklin and Trever Miller, who also signed a contract extension, before using them. Miller struck out Prince Fielder with a man on for the first out of the eighth.
“I don’t have any numbers to support it, but especially for a pitcher, you announce something that day and it’s distracting,” La Russa said. “Ryan was really fired up, he didn’t have that calmness. Why, I don’t know, but he fought through it.”

big innings given up by waino, pineiro and franklin
certainly not the formula this team has used all year. oh well, i can forgive them for not sweeping a bad team, but these pitching hiccups better not be indicative of anything worse. I’m not concerned about Waino since he’s just a stud. But we’ve all been wondering when Franklin would coming crashing back to earth and this was a bad week for him. HOpefully, it’s nothing more.
also, i have to wonder if the focus just wasn’t as sharp w/ the 11.5 game lead. i hope not, as i think playing for homefield is worth it, especially vs Phil.
2.444 is ridiculous
K-Macs been shoddy too
our pen really looks so weak. Maybe Motte’s on the road to usefulness, but I can’t say I’m that confident in anyone ATM, except maybe Miller vs lefties.
Felonius Monk - bitching to contact since 2008
by Felonius_Monk on Sep 6, 2009 4:43 PM EDT up reply actions
yup i agree
the bullpen is still my biggest overall concern by a mile. Kmac walks way too many. Motte is doing better but I can’t shake the hit-or-miss impression I have of him based on the entire season. Reyes has perhaps been performing better of late, but still, he’s hardly a shut-down option. Miller, today notwithstanding, has been excellent vs lefties. I suppose overall I could amend this mess to simply say my real issue is RH relief, but that’s everyone’s issue.
My next concern would be making sure the starter’s arms don’t fall off. Hopefully it was just coincidence that both Pineiro and Waino were sailing along until the got hit w/ big innings, but it’s not a stretch to wonder if they could use some rest. That, to me, is substantial issue down the stretch. How does the team weigh the benefits of playing for homefield vs getting the needed rest?
2.444 is ridiculous
Homefield advantage
means getting the Rockies or the Giants in the first round. That’s not a reward.
As far as I’m concerned, I’d rather this team start the playoffs in Dodger Stadium and let the Phillies deal with either of those wild card teams.

"I think those scorers must be from Mars or Venus. Or maybe they're just from that book." --Mike Shannon, 7/09/2009
I rewatched it--not quite that, but close.
“It’s tough. Anytime Ank comes up and comes up big like that that it doesn’t matter if you’re 40 for 40 or whatever. It’s just a tough one to swallow.”
“It just didn’t work out for us today” (for him and Trever)
“It’s been a good year, and it just goes to show you, you know, not that either one of us have been on too much of a high, but it just brings you back down to where you’re supposed to be”
Not quite as poignant, but still sad.

yeah, wtf
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.

The Brewers
did everyone see the Prince walkoff?
fine line between having fun and being D-bags.
the ’Crew has their mail fowarded to that line.
That was Epic Douchbaggery
Enjoy that along with the sub .500 record Brewers!
This is one thing I like about Tony, he wouldn’t stand for that level of uncouth.

On one hand I thought
kind of funny…then I thought. Man if I was on the other team there is zero chance I don’t hit Prince somewhere is his upper mid-ass fat. each time up.
Nah
That was one of the funniest celebrations I’ve seen. They weren’t showing up the other team in any way, that was just celebration and they were just having fun. I’m not sure I like the destination that road of team organized celebrations goes, but if you hit a walkoff you get to celebrate however you want.
Not afraid to nitpick
yeah, i saw a giants' fan bitching about it
and i didn’t think it was that bad. kinda cute. untucking the jersey while rounding the bases kinda irks me, though. but then i thought about the brewers and their 5 < .500 record and smiled

I liked Oquendo being aggressive
by sending the runners today. I recorded and just saw the game.
born Dodger blue, now dyed Cardinals red
why can't Ank just teach Colby how to throw?
…..oh, right.

back off colby's arm
he’s got a strong arm. you can teach accuracy. you can’t teach strong

oh it hit the mound?
well geez. I didn’t even see that.

you guys
are talking about two different throws
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
and for ther record,
i was referencing the one yadi2 was. where he had time, but it was way off line. fritz is talking about the one a couple innings earlier where it was a two hopper right to yadi, but not quite in time. course, i don’t think anyone other than ank could’ve made that throw in time. and that’s to assume he doesn’t do a figure eight getting to the ball
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.

anybody going to the
final regular season game in Springfield tomorrow?
I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter?
i got some good news
Mad Men didn’t suck tonight
that’s all i’ve got. if you don’t count the splitting headache.
