Official Thread of the St. Louis Cardinals

[tidwell]

Braden Looper (3-1, 1.91) vs. Ben Sheets (1-2, 4.50) tonight in game two.

 

[tclowers23]

Maybe Looper can give them the boost they need.

 

[tidwell]

Hopefully. With Wells' plunge back to reality in his last two starts, Looper is the best starter going right now.

I think they've always hit Sheets pretty well, too. They can either do that or wait for Sheets to get injured in the 2nd or 3rd inning.

Geez, Hancock was in another accident a few days before the fatal one.

With another loss all but in the books, a bit of encouraging news about Carpenter from today.

im telling you guys that this is the brewers year to win the central.

Wow... prophetic.

 

[tidwell]

They probably will if the Cardinals can't get it together.

Anthony Reyes (0-4, 5.73) vs. Chris Capuano (4-0, 3.21) this afternoon.

 

[tclowers23]

I guess the good news about this game is I won't have to watch after the first couple of innings, because Reyes will have already allowed 5-6 runs. I can do something more productive with my time.

Well, it's bad news as well. They may be handed their 5th straight loss.

 

[tclowers23]

Deja vu. Pujols gets a hit in the 1st inning, and no one else does anything.

Reyes actually looks pretty good so far.

 

[tidwell]

Pujols has that BA up to .268... while Rolen is going the opposite direction again.

 

[tidwell]

Eckstein batting 8th? When'd that change?

 

[tidwell]

Gwynn pinch-hitting for Capuano... what happened?

 

[tidwell]

Right calf contusion for Capuano, according to the gamecast.

Much like his last start against Chicago, Reyes went through the lineup the first time with relatively no trouble...

 

[tidwell]

The second time, however, not so lucky.

 

[tidwell]

Bill Hall steals home. Woowee.

2-0 Brewers to the 5th. Who do the Cards play next?

 

[tidwell]

4-0, top 6. Top of the order for the Cards.

 

[tidwell]

Bases loaded, 1 out, 0 runs.

 

[tidwell]

Goodness, a 1-2-3, 11 pitch inning for Reyes in the 6th!

 

[tidwell]

The Brewers complete the sweep with a 4-0 victory.

10-16

 

[tclowers23]

Hey, the Cardinals won't lose a game today.

 

[tclowers23]

Good news. Carpenter may be ready to start by next Tuesday.

 

[tidwell]

Neat-o.

50% of Carpenter won't be any worse than 100% of Reyes and Wells. Just hope he's ready and not coming back too soon and further damages it.
