Official Thread of the St. Louis Cardinals

:rock2:

Apparently all of the other starters have had a great Spring Training, too. Wainwright had like an .98 ERA.

Good. I haven't been keeping up with it like I should. I'll be watching tommorow

 

[tidwell]

Anyone watch the Cardinals game that was on ESPN this evening? A Black Panther Party broke out!

 

[vader]

Fair enough.

Are you ready for game-by-game, wall-to-wall Cardinals updates? I know I am! :rock2:

:rock:

 

[tidwell]

Tom Glavine vs. Chris Carpenter tomorrow night at 8:05EST on ESPN2.

I just realized Isringhausen will be back in the closer role.

Take this New York/Boston crap elsewhere! Like the Braves thread!

We don't want them over there either. Send them to the Help Forum for their own thread. Lord knows they need it.

 

[tidwell]

Yes.

In a bit of encouraging news, Izzy had a 1.50 ERA in 6 Spring Training innings. He did allow 8 hits and 2 walks in those 6 innings, though.

 

[tidwell]

Less than an hour away. :rock2:

 

[tidwell]

...and the Cardinals start this regular season the way they ended the last one; losing.

Down 5-0 so far.

 

[tidwell]

How many more plays are ya gonna screw up tonight, So?

 

[tclowers23]

Preston Wilson is the strikeout KING.

 

[tclowers23]

Uh oh, Scotty has a chance to make this a game.

 

[tclowers23]

Well, that didn't work out.

 

[tidwell]

They've got something going the last two innings but came away with 0 runs both times. Bummer.

 

[tclowers23]

Yeah, looks like they're going to start the season 0-1. Good thing they've got 161 left to play. May start 0-3 the way the Mets look.

 

[tidwell]

Cards lose 6-1 to start the season.

Eckstein went 3-4 with the lone RBI.

Carpenter got roughed up, gave up 5 runs in 6 innings. Off til Tuesday.

0-1

 

[Heebs]

Beltran's strike stopped a potentially big rally

Beltran's strike stopped a potentially big rally

Ok.

 

[tidwell]

Gonna be like that for every game, tc.

 

[Heebs]

I mean no one said anything about it. It was the best play of the game, and there was a man on 2nd, 1 out, #2 hitter up, and they send Eck.

Play at the plate, 2 out. Then the Cards load the bases and get nothing out of it. That throw was the reason the Cards lost the game.

Sorry for bringing it up but I would assume people would be more apt to talk about the turning point of the game instead of bitching about the last two innings or that I would mention something bad that happened to the Cards. Sorry for being objective.

 

[tidwell]

I'm not sure what to tell you other than it's a Cardinals thread, of course we're going to talk more about what the Cardinals did or didn't do. I possibly would've commented on the play you're talking about had I seen it. Unfortunately, they don't have an in game TV screen built in on the Yahoo! Gamecast as of last night.

 

[Heebs]

It was on National TV, ESPN2. You had said it yourself, so I figured you would be watching it...And since it is a Cards thread, I figured I would talk about the Cards. But I guess we'll only talk about the selected parts of the game you want to talk about Tidwell. No wonder you think they are going back to the playoffs.

 

[tidwell]

I watched the first inning and I had stuff to do online, so I fired up the gamecast and watched it from there. Again, I apologize for not seeing the play you're referring to, I'm sure it was magnificent.

 

[Heebs]

So smug.

 

[tidwell]

A Yankee fan calling someone smug... :lol:
