if i didn't know, i'd guess he's 17 in that picture.

I believe we sent Tino to the D-Rays in '04 when he had $7.5 million left on his contract, and we ate all but a million. And all we got was Evan Rust and PTBNL who never amounted to anything.

Tino was less crappy in '04 than Weaver is now, imo...

Boy, is our hitting pathetic right now.

sorry if that offends

Pretty please, Larry?

Another #$%&*!!? Pop up.

Anyone?

(i dont know the answer)

Yet people keep talking about listening to visiting announcers?

Nice SAC fly Scotty.

Did Juan just get an RBI?

Yeah, Tomko is that bad.

holy crap. the Cards scored first. dare we dream of better days ahead?

i am pumped about tonight for some reason. maybe the bats took sunday off for mother's day (they were effing pink, after all) and they're getting their licks in now. let's go boys!!

Tonight:
1st inning
3 runs

Ouch.

Thanks-
oh, and GO CARDS!

Thompson (first inning):
14 Pitches total
5 pitches (first three batters)
9 pitches (Kent)

This is fun!

As I type that, Duncan crushes one!

Bookends on the HR-less streak.

A little more feast and a little less famine please....

but you all know.

That'd be nice.

"7-0 cardinals ... yes, the cardinals." the team that is the worst at everything in history, worse than any team ever, especially at offense, which is the same as hitting, but not the same thing as pitching to contact. at that they are particularly bad. but somehow they are doing well tonight.

Hell it's 7-0, sit his ass down right now as far as I am concerned.  If he is hurt you might as well.

Who'da thunk it.

Just teasing, as pissed as I am at AP this is fun to watch this evening.

And we've now put up a crooked # in 3 consecutive innings....we scored in one--one!!--entire inning in the SD series....

What do you think?  Give up Sheff for Dunc?

I'm trying to get JJ Hardy for him by giving up Jack Wilson as well but I'm not so sure that will work.  

thanks guys

Way to play a hard nine Dodgers!

Could the Dodgers possibly hit balls any closer to Cardinals players' gloves without getting out?  Sheesh.

Speaking of running, Jim Edmonds is running a lot better on the basepaths.  He doesn't look like he's wounded anymore.

Take that LB's stat guy!

Even though the Cardinals didn't score again after Tomko was in the books, they made a bunch of loud outs and hit a bunch of 'Atom' balls.

Hopefully they can get to Lowe and his sinkers early.

nice job gents, do it again tomorrow and start making belivers out of all of us.

....if that doesn't say "2007 Cardinals on a good night," I don't know what does....after all the fireworks early on the Dodgers nearly outhit us.

Adam Dunn.

The Reds have a $13 M option on him next year and then nothing and I'm sure they are having doubts about locking him up longterm as he really isn't progressing as anything more than a slam or k hitter.

They are falling terribly out of contention, even for only being the month of May and have outfield depth with Hamilton, Freel and a healthy Griffey.  Not to mention, I'm sure they would rather spend the $15m+ it will take to get him locked up long term on a better defensive OF that isn't as bad during stretches as he is.

Just a thought.
