let's go at least 12-4 from here on out
then there might be a chance

Going 12-4 would involve winning each of the remaining series with one of those series wins being a sweep.
That seems very doable.

Chris Carpenter’s two-year, $21 million extension could be finished as soon as Tuesday; good for him for staying where he wants to pitch.

furky does not look like a .240 hitter
I may be in a rut, but at least I know where I'm going
...to DFA TLR
With the Cards (not inlcuding tonight), Furcal has a
.222 BABIP and a 389wOBAr. In other words, he’s been awesome, but very unlucky on balls in play. Even with the ridiculously low BABIP, he’s had a .710 OPS.
by Willie McGee's Twin on Sep 12, 2011 7:58 PM EDT up reply actions
Or
He’s been ridiculously lucky on his fly balls becoming home runs….unless you really think he’d hit what, 35 in a year?
Or we could regress to his career numbers...
And he’d still be really good.

I just looked up population figures to see whether St Louis was larger than Pittsburgh

not sure
but it might depend on whether you count the entire metro area.

Ok, just got home and just in time to see a Patterson K.
Looking at the box score, what the HOLY HELL happened tonight? It looks like Memphis vomited pinch runners all over the scorecard.
Is this just a “meh, TLR” thing? ‘Cause it seems odd that he’d just decide not to play ….you know what, I don’t even have the strength to care anymore.
Theriot would have actually been a much better choice...he's only struck out
like what 30 times? Goddamn! how bad do you have to suck to make me clamor for Theriot?!!!!!

Has anyone heard of this modern take on Peter Pan titled “Pan”?
Brief summary:
The Pan movie in question refashions Barrie’s fantastical tale as a modern-day detective murder mystery where Peter Pan is literally "the boy who never grew up" – that is, a killer with a youthful appearance who prefers to kidnap children.
EW has confirmed that Aaron Eckhart (Battle: Los Angeles, The Dark Knight) has been cast in Pan as Hook, a former detective who takes on the task of hunting down the diabolical titular killer. Sean Bean (Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings) will play Smee, a member of the police force and Hook’s only ally. Soul Surfer star AnnaSophia Robb is also set to appear in the film as Pan’s sole surviving (former) victim (Wendy).

hey, doc. My wife and child and I were jumping as high as we could yesterday. I was touching our ceiling (9'4! Woo!)
So, basically, stretching my arm as far up as it can go. Later my shoulder started to hurt. This morning it hurt pretty bad. There’s not any one motion that makes it hurt the most, and I think I have full strength in it. It just aches. Little twinges all over. When I walk down steps, the gravity makes it hurt.
Any guess on what I did? And should I do anything other than 2 aleve 2x/day?
Is Jon Jay the next Willie McGee? Is Arthur Rhodes the next Arthur Rhodes?
not real sure
sounds like you have a little joint laxity if it hurts from the jolt of walking down stairs. Should be fine in a couple of days. Keep up the nsaids and put a cold pack on it if you need to.

The next 4 hitters for the Braves have the potential to hit a HR
the next 9 hitters for the Marlins do not.

Well, that was quite the clusterfuck.
Infante boots a grounder, throws wildly to first, first baseman goes into baseline and collides with Chipper.

and Corey F Patterson is taking one of the biggest at bats of the year for the Cards and Javier Vazquez is running for the Marlins.
Well, the Marlins came through at least.

but does it... float?
I’m in such a weird mood tonight.
Is Jon Jay the next Willie McGee? Is Arthur Rhodes the next Arthur Rhodes?
I'd totally photo-shop TLR and Patterson in there if I could.
Or maybe Albert and Stanton.

and then compare it to the record at the end of the season

meh. He won us games too (to the extent that a manager can). I don't want him to be our manager anymore, but I think we overstate how important his mistakes have been to our team.

I wasn't able to watch the game tonight, so I can't comment on the specifics.
It’s impossible to quantify the whole of a manager’s decisions and the effect it has on a game. There are simply too many variables, man of which we’re not aware of. Again, I’m not saying I want him back next year, but I think that
A) Managers really don’t make a huge difference over the course of a season
B) TLR seems to have had a bad season as far as in-game decisions, but not markedly worse than what I’d expect of most managers
Is Jon Jay the next Willie McGee? Is Arthur Rhodes the next Arthur Rhodes?
I agree

I think he costs us quite a few
but I would agree that another manager would probably do about the same.
In short, major league managing in general is pretty freakin’ far from optimal.

I think part of Tony's image issue with us
is that he just seems so damned smug about things. He’d probably benefit in a PR sense by NOT doing the post-game conferences on live tv.
I think it's always frustrating to see people make the same stupid mistakes, or use the same bad logic repeatedly.
Even more so if you’re subjected to it for a decade and a half. A new guy may not be better, but it would probably be less infuriating.
