Jenny AU-92 0 Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 You should have figured in how many of Lidge's blown saves were with 2 outs and 2 strikes... THAT, my friend, is a major snotblower as far as I am concerned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUJarhead 70 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Preston Wilson? I didn't know the Cards signed him until I kicked the game on a few minutes ago. Got a basehit his first AB. Must have stunk it up if Houston didn't want him. 1-1 in the top of the 3rd, fanatc. Scratch that, 2-1, Cards, Duncan with a sac fly. Good luck this weekend...

Nothing personal, but HOW PATHETIC ARE YOU when you take a guy rejected by the worst hitting league in Major League Baseball??????? They are gonna start calling St Looee the Windy City from the breeze generated by his whiffs at the plate. Criminies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUJarhead 70 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Let's not forget Jenny, you're talking about an organization that needed obvious help with starting pitching and bullpen, so what do they do at the trade deadline? Get a second baseman. Yeah, about what I thought with Preston Wilson, from the bargain bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a second baseman. Yeah, about what I thought with Preston Wilson, from the bargain bin. You guys have him at second? He played LF for us... He apparently did well today - but he started off hot in Houston too. Nice guy, worked well with the team, but could NOT deliver. Personally, tho, I would have kept him and waived Jason Freaking Lane... but he is one of Purpura's "Farm Boys" so he stays, no matter how bad he sucks.

SLAG-91 1,483 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 There are TEN, count 'em, 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 teams within 5.5 games of the NL Mild Card leader, the Reds, who are an underwhelming 62-60. I want to see about an 8-way tie at the end of the season...let's see 'em sort that one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUJarhead 70 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 You guys have him at second? He played LF for us... Sorry, I was referring to the trade they made for Belliard. They needed pitching and got a 2B. Made no sense. We played Wilson in RF. Guessing he'll stay there, at least until Jim Edmonds feels better. Then a platoon in the OF. I've been very pleased with Chris Duncan, our rookie in Left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioWryn 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Reds lose to the resurgent Pirates 7-3, Braves beat up on the Marlins 6-1. All of a sudden, the Braves are just 4.5 GB.. Hmm.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioWryn 0 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Braves win 5-3 over the Marlins. Should have won by more, but we just missed several homers in that screwy park by feet. We've won 3 in a row, only 6 under .500 now, only 4.5 GB, and after tomorrow vs the Marlins (okay, so Lance Cormier vs Dontrelle Willis doesn't look too promising), we open up a 9-game homestand vs the Pirates, Washington Natspos, and Giants.. Hmm.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUJarhead 70 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Great call with the bases loaded, Tony LaRussa. Let's take out the hottest hitter on the team, the guy who's carried this team the past two or three weeks, and let's stick in the laziest POS we have, Juan Encarnacion. Grrr.... And nice play by Pierre to robs Pujols. One more foot and it's a slam. Ah well, go get 'em tomorrow, Carp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny AU-92 0 Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 In a total reversal of fortune, the defending NL Champs continue to suck major lemons, while the previous 2-14 Texans have won BOTH their pre-season games. I guess our scrubs ARE better than the Rams' scrubs... Is it football season yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioWryn 0 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2555246 Meanwhile, Tom Glavine's season might be in jeopardy - unknown ailment is a blood clot in his arm, I am told from sources. Wow. The NL now looks completely horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUJarhead 70 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I hope Glavine is ok. He's one of the few Mets I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioWryn 0 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 After Adam LaRoche makes the bone-head play of the season, costing us a sweep of the Marlins, we rebound behind Smoltzie to beat the Pirates 3-0 to start a nine-game home stand. We're now T-5th in the wild card, 5.5 GB, so we're in the hunt, and only 3 GB of second place. More importantly, we're 55-61, so now we have to win 8 out of our next 10 to get back to .500. Then we can start dreaming of postseason. If the Braves were to make it, and the division leaders stay the same, it'd be: Braves @ Cardinals Dodgers @ Mets Hmm.. that could be two very very interesting series.

AUJarhead 70 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Cards start a series against the Mets tonight. All three of the STL starters have ERAs above 5. Yikes. This could look like intramural softball scores, with Glavine and Martinez out. Of course, the Cards bats would need to work, and they seem to only do that once every two weeks or so. Jenny, please, please, please, talk some sense into that club of yours, and win the next two againt the Reds. How in the heck did they lose last night?

SLAG-91 1,483 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I went for my every-other-day run last night in about the 5th or 6th inning...the game was over by the time I was through and the first thing I heard on the postgame call-in show was griping, so I knew the Astros had lost without even hearing the score. ...and then tonight they're just flat getting assjacked. Cincinnati just kicked the PAT and it's 14-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUJarhead 70 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I'm numb to Izzy. Honestly, I'm more shocked when he doesn't blow a save now. I feel bad for Pujols, 2-4, 2 HR, 7 RBI, and you still lose. Thanks Izzy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUJarhead 70 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I think the forum theme here should be "Toast." Reds in first place by this weekend. How is it that I can sit here, some schmuck who has nothing to do with Major League Baseball, and look at the Cardinals starting Mark Mulder last night as a bad idea, but the guys who get paid millions think he's ok? Shesh. Bunch of bums... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUJarhead 70 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 This quote from a blogger on one of the STL forums says it perfectly. In my perfect world the Cards would invest every dollar in the staff, bullpen, a plane ticket back to Japan for Taguchi, and a hunting trip for Dick Cheaney and Izzy.
