Official Thread of the St. Louis Cardinals

Cardinals go down in order in the third. Apparently they didn't get the memo that it's perfectly acceptable to score about 10 runs a game in Coors Field.
 
Carp is living dangerously. Two more baserunners stranded for the Rockies in the third.

Middle of the order to bat for St. Louis in the 4th.
 
Another ridiculously futile inning for the Cardinals. They're making Jeff Francis and Jason Jennings look like the second coming of Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale.
 
It's always nice to end the inning with a strike'em out throw'em out. Yadi rules.
 
Too bad he can't hit.

Then again, no one is tonight for the Cards.

0-0 going to the bottom of the 5th.
 
The Rockies strand two more runners... a leadoff walk to Holliday and later an intentional walk to Hawpe.

1-0 Cards going to the 7th.
 
Encarnacion singles to lead off the inning. Feeling odd because he didn't make an out at the plate, he promptly gets caught stealing. Inning over soon after.

1-0 Cardinals at the stretch.
 
Another 1-2-3 inning for Carp.

He now has 105 pitches through 7. Interesting to see if they pinch hit for him and put the game into the hands of the shaky bullpen.
 
Carp gets the first out, allows a hit to Holliday, and is yanked for Randy "5.08 ERA" Flores.

The fun begins.
 
1-2-3 inning for Jennings in the 9th.

Save for one pitch, he was the better pitcher tonight. Oh well, call Roger Clemens for sympathy, Jason.

Bottom of the order to face Isringhausen one would imagine.
 
Right on. Fielder's choice groundout by someone named Freeman. C'mon Izzy, get another groundball.
 
Izzy finally closes it out.

1-0

Carp didn't allow a run, but that was about as shaky as you can be and not allow a run. 7 hits and 3 walks over 7 and a third. Lowers his ERA to 2.68.

Pujols supplied the offense with #33.

57-42
 
Jeff Suppan (7-5, 5.17) vs. Aaron Cook (6-8, 3.80) here in a few minutes.

All three starters for the Rockies in this series have had sub 4 ERA's. Pretty impressive.
 
Hey Tiddy, I'm looking forward to "watching" a game live with you. I usually just peruse the recaps.
