Official Thread of the St. Louis Cardinals

[tidwell]

Adam Eaton (7-4, 5.33) vs. Adam Wainwright (5-6, 4.70) today in game two.

Gotta savor moments like this... a moment when the opposing starter has a higher ERA than the Cardinals starter.

 

[tidwell]

Cards up 6-3, bottom 8

Encarnacion has a three run homer and Duncan a two run shot.

Nice start by Wainwright; 6 innings, only 2 runs.

Pujols fouled a pitch off his ankle during his last at bat. He was limping off the field after this pop-up, but hopefully it was just a stinger.

There is lightning and thunder all around the ball park.

Cardinals up 7-3 now. No save opportunity for Izzy anymore.

 

[tclowers23]

8-3 Cards. Miles scored on a wild pitch.

 

[tidwell]

When will Maroth make his first start?

When will Maroth make his first start?

Monday @ NY Mets

Izzy has been a stud so far this season.

 

[tidwell]

Fantastic. :rock2:

Isringhausen must be completely healthy this season. Nice to see!

 

[tidwell]

Cardinals win 8-3.

The aforementioned Isringhausen has an ERA of 1.50. One of the only Cardinals who has a case to make the All Star team.

33-38

 

[tidwell]

Cole Hamels (9-3, 3.82) vs. Kip Wells (3-11, 6.75) this afternoon in the finale. Dear lord.

 

[tidwell]

Sac fly RBI for Pujols in the 3rd.

1-0, top 4

 

[tidwell]

Middle of the 4th, rain delay. Boo.

 

[tidwell]

Cards lose 5-1.

Wells only gave up 1 run through 5 innings! Miracles, they do happen.

33-39

 

[tclowers23]

I'm excited to see how Maroth does tomorrow in his first start as a Redbird.

 

[tclowers23]

Also, the ChiSox have said they want to trade Mark Buehrle. I bet Walt wishes he would've known this before they dealt for Maroth. The Red Sox are considered the main suitor for Buehrle right now. Either way, I think Buehrle ends up in St. Louis after this season.

 

[tidwell]

Mike Maroth (5-2, 5.06) vs. Jorge Sosa (6-3, 4.05) tonight at 7:10EST on ESPN.

 

[tidwell]

Cards just lost 2-1 on a walk off HR by Shawn Green.

Fantastic Cardinals debut for Maroth however. 7.1 innings, 2 hits, and 1 run. Get used to little run support, Mike.

33-40

 

[tidwell]

Todd Wellemeyer (2-0, 4.66) vs. Oliver Perez (7-6, 3.16) tonight in game two.

I really wouldn't mind giving up Anthony Reyes or John Rodriguez for Buehrle... it's the minor-league prospect to be named that worries me. Please not Colby Rasmus. I don't think Walt would be that stupid. Rasmus is the Cards CF of the not-so-distant future.

 

[tidwell]

Oh yeah, the Cards rarely (or so it seems) have a prospect come up through their system and be a big time/productive player. I'd be all for it if all they had to give up was Reyes and JRod.

 

[tclowers23]

Cards lead 2-1 in the top of the 8th. We might see Troy Percival in the bottom of this inning!

I'd say give the ChiSox Anthony Reyes and Juan Encarnacion for Buehrle. Then, call up Ankiel to play RF.

 

[tclowers23]

RBI single by Brendan Ryan. 3-1 Cards.

 

[tclowers23]

Nope.... not Percival. It's Russ Springer.

La Russa is no fun.

 

[tclowers23]

3-2 Cards in the top of the 9th.
