dont worry, if Narron decides to use his favorite combo from the pen the cards will win by 4 or more.

Carpenter threw for the first time since going on the DL today.

Very good news.

 

[tidwell]

Hopefully the elbow reacts a little better this time.

Rolen with a double and scores on a Spiezio single.

Rolen 2-2 and his average is up to .293.

 

[tclowers23]

8-1 Reds. Pretty much game over. The true Kip Wells is shining brightly.

 

[tidwell]

4 straight guys have reached on Wells and Gonzalez is up and he hasn't made an out all night.

 

[tidwell]

Yep, too bad it's not Sunday.

It's not good when Tyler Johnson is warming up in the 5th inning.

Haha, got that right.

The only goods news today for the Cardinals.

Philadelphia Inquirer: "Buehrle, who reportedly turned down a three-year, $35 million contract offer from the White Sox last summer, is a Missouri native and grew up a Cardinals fan. There's been scuttlebutt for more than a year that the Cardinals will make a run at him."

 

[tidwell]

I've wanted him in St. Louis ever since I heard he grew up a Cards fan. :lol:

Final line for Wells: 4.2 innings, 9 hits, 3HRs, 3 walks, 8 runs, 7 earned, 0 Ks.

Solid. He's our new Jason Marquis, while the real Marquis has one of the NL's lowest ERAs for the Cubs.

 

[tidwell]

Oye.

I was afraid of this, the cooler (who are we kidding, the cold weather) probably helped the pitching. Now that it's warm...

I'm not too worried about Marquis. Like you said a few days ago, he'll likely level off somewhere around an ERA of 5.

Cards are in desparate need of a healthy Chris Carpenter and Mark Mulder. Oh, those will be the days.

 

[tidwell]

Alright, Reds finally go to the bullpen. Let the comeback commence!

 

[tidwell]

RBI single by Duncan.

8-2

 

[tidwell]

I have come to the conclusion that Brad Thompson sucks.

5 hits to 1 out so far in the 9th.

 

[tidwell]

Gah, 3 straight hits off Coffey and Molina grounds into a doubleplay.

Reds win 10-3

Pretty much no offense again when it mattered.

8-11

 

[tidwell]

Bronson Arroyo (0-2, 3.25) vs. Braden Looper (3-1, 2.08) tonight in game two.

Wells had his first horrid start of the year last night. Let's go ahead and not follow suit, Looper.

[tidwell]

Thanks for picking me up last night, tc. Been having computer issues... kinda hit or miss, and it's hitting right now.

7-5 Cards right now in the 9th... delay of some sort. Rain?
