this is bizarre. reds bullpen failure. Brian WIlson was brought in for a mop up inning and during the giants ups, it turned into a save situation… haha.

I don't know if it is or not, but I'm ready for TLR to move on.
I don’t think he understands or tries to understand younger players. He has a certain attitude that he expects from players and that is all. If you are different than that he can’t deal with it. Instead of looking at video or stats before they draft future cardinals, they need to give them personality tests. If you aren’t a total hardnose, no need to apply.

mccutchen – 5ks, 2BB, 80 pitches thrown for 54 strikes, 4 groundouts to 9 flyouts.
there is a hell of a lot of luck driving this game. westbrook is pitching a game very similar to mccutchen, except he’s actually pitching better, by getting a ton of groundballs – most of the hits have been GB, too. there’s a lot of dumb luck driving this game. it’s just the normal variance of one game to another.

It's surprisingly easy
When you have a lineup as terrible as this and horrible coaching.
It truly amazes me, the Cardinals trot out a lineup with 5 people who cannot hit their way out of a paper bag and people are surprised when the don’t score runs when the two guys that actually can have a bad night.
Last year, it was Pujols and the 7 Dwarves. This years it’s Pujols, Holliday and the 5 1/2 Dwarves.
does the lack of success against bad teams signal a problem with motivation or concentration?

Reds looked like they were gonna be dealt a crushing loss facing one of the best closers down a run in the 9th and we had a chance for an easy bounceback win against a team that NEVER wins a series, or much less two in a row.
Well shit, this has just been the story of our season…..at least now I truely don’t have any expectations for this team.
And to think, I was actually happy that we played a lot of teams with losing records down the stretch
I didn’t realize that we’d lose every series against the bad teams, and win every series against the good teams. Silly me.

They make a point of reminding us all of that after every loss. They’re competing. It’s ok.

What? The Cardinals lost 2 of 3 to the Pirates?

Dear Cardinals
I know…*voice cracking* somewhere deep down in my heart…I still love you!

This was not the result that I was hoping for when I got back tonight.

We got some conspiracy theory shit going on
Back in May, someone on 4chan predicts this giant plot that results in the detonation of a bomb in South Korea
Which the world will blame on North Korea, and a huge war will commence. This will happen in early September
This bomb will be activated by the Russian radio station UVB-76, which has basically been inactive for the last 20 years.
…There’s been an unprecedented amount of activity from UVB-76 in the last 2 weeks (That’s the second link)
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
Are you suggesting I buy ammunition,
and canned goods?

And move to Australia
But not in that order… that would not be very effective

reading that made me feel sick to my stomach

yeah, it's pretty scary stuff.
luckily, it’s almost certainly internet garbage.

But isn't that the best kind of garbage?
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
oh, absolutely.
and since it’s internet garbage, might as well predict world war 3 that ends in a new world order, right?

Maybe
A couple of places there just got huge biotech grants and my thesis adviser knows some folks involved. Fingers crossed!

You don't think that's one coincidence too much?
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
i'm just convinced it's not going to happen.
and so i haven’t really planned on how i will react if it does happen. luckily, it’s not going to.

Assassination? I'm not sure
But that Polish plane wreck was pretty tragic

Ok...I'm not gonna do it...maybe tomorrow, cause I'm taking Friday off,
but I’m not gonna let the internet suck me into this tonight. No sir. No conspiracy theories tonight.

That has to be the worst conspiracy theory ever
apparently the United States missed those meeting at the United Nations where we agreed to have both our coasts wiped out?
More likely even to happen? Another stock market crash in the near future. Not GD-level crash but huge drop.

Cardinals lose two of three to the Pirates
and now we’re talking about nuclear bombs going off in South Korea.
Goddamitsomuch, if the Cardinals don’t start winning, it’s Armageddon.

I have top-secret information that every country on earth will want to kill me for revealing
I can only post it to one place where everyone will assume it’s copypasta and pay it no heed at all—4chan!
Have the Cardinals really only won 1 of the 5 games Jake Westbrook has started?
That is exactly 1 more game than they would have won with Jeff Suppan starting. I’d rather have Ryan Ludwick than that 1 win.

Cards fan in SD
And lemme tell you, seeing studwick in a padre uni makes me sick to my stomach. I’m die hard, and talking with the rest of san siego folk makes it harsd to appreciate their season. Nobody out here, save for a select few, follow the friars that closely. I work with mostly females, which doesn’t help, but went to the 3 game set when the birds were out here right before memorial day weekend. Even though STL lost 2 of 3, the games they were losing had more cardinal fans present in the 9th than padre fans. Ridiculous. No one out here knows baseball and I’m going fucking nuts. Other than the 70 degree weather on the island, I miss STL…
