Official Thread of the St. Louis Cardinals

[tidwell]

Makes sense, he only threw 1 pitch in the 8th.

 

[tclowers23]

Freddy Sanchez is out. Jason Bay is walked.

 

[tidwell]

Hit that ground ball double play, Xavier. You know you want it.

 

[tclowers23]

He popped out. That'll do. One more out.

 

[tclowers23]

Game over. Cards win 3-2. Franklin got the W.

 

[tidwell]

Cardinals win 3-2 and sweep the series in Pittsburgh.

Another offensive struggle, but a W nonetheless. Wainwright allowed quite a few baserunners, but minimized the damage pretty well. Not bad for his second start.

Milwaukee comes to town for the weekend.

5-4

 

[tclowers23]

Waino with another quality start.

 

[tidwell]

Rolen has been out the last two games with back spasms, by the way.

[tclowers23]

Rolen should be back in the lineup on Friday.

 

[tidwell]

Ben Sheets (1-1, 3.60) vs. Anthony Reyes (0-1, 5.40) tonight in game one of the series.

 

[tidwell]

Rain delay in St. Louis. Doesn't look good for tonight.

 

[tidwell]

...and it was postponed.

 

[tidwell]

Jeff Suppan (0-2, 4.15) vs. Kip Wells (1-1, 1.38) tonight in game one, hopefully.

 

[tclowers23]

I hope Soup doesn't last longer than 3 innings tonight.

 

[tidwell]

3-2 Brewers going to the bottom of the 9th. Molina, pitcher's spot, and Miles due up.

 

[tidwell]

And that's the final.

Hardly any offense to speak of yet again. Pujols 0'fer again.

Wells didn't pitch too bad, just couldn't get any runs for him. 7 innings, 3 runs.

5-5

 

[tidwell]

Ben Sheets (1-1, 3.60) vs. Braden Looper (1-1, 2.08) this afternoon. Cards going for their first home win of the season.

 

[tidwell]

Cardinals win 10-2

Finally a big game for Pujols. 2-5, 2 HR, 5 RBI.

Duncan continues to hit well. Went 4-5 and is hitting over .400 on the year.

Looper gave up two runs in the first, but none for the next 5 innings to pick up the win.

6-5

 

[tclowers23]

Helluva game to watch today. Duncan and Looper looked solid. Pujols had a big day with 2 HRs, but is still batting sub-.200... as is Rolen. Preson Wilson and Duncan both looked surprisingly good in the field today. Holla.

Pittsburgh coming to town for a series.

Ian Snell (0-1, 2.08) vs. Anthony Reyes (0-1, 5.40) tonight in game one.

 

[tidwell]

Reyes in the first inning: 3 hits, 2 walks, 3 runs.

Oh, only 1 out so far.

Reyes in the first inning: 3 hits, 2 walks, 3 runs.

Oh, only 1 out so far.

:disappointed:

 

[tidwell]

No more damage done, thankfully.

3-0 Pirates
