What happened?!

 

[Laura]

Jays leaving men on base... ugh. :banghead2:

 

[tidwell]

Looks like Litsch settled down a bit, at least...

 

[Laura]

Still a little too wild for my liking. :no:

 

[vader]

Go Jays!

hmy: :disappointed:

 

[tidwell]

:lol:

Heeey... they're Laura's favorite team and my second favorite.

2000 posts in this thread now, and you thought you were just starting an innocent 'anyone else like the St. Louis Cardinals?" thread.

Livan Hernandez (5-5, 4.58) vs. Brad Thompson (6-3, 4.88) tonight in the series finale.

Trust me, that's a good thing. :wacko:

 

[tidwell]

Judging by his stats in Triple A, it looks that way.

 

[Laura]

Go Jays!!

Doug Davis (5-9, 4.29) vs. Adam Wainwright (6-7, 4.81) tonight in the series finale.

Pujols will try to extend his hitting streak to 7 games. He is hitting .550 in the previous 6.

The Cardinals are 32-24 in games that Pujols records a hit and 6-19 when he goes hitless.

 

[tidwell]

Cardinals win 3-2 in the series finale to take 3 out of 4 from the DBacks.

Encarnacion hit a three run homer to supply the offense.

Another great start at home by Wainwright.

Isringhausen made it exciting in the 9th... 1 hit, 2 walks, 19 pitches (only 7 strikes), but didn't allow a run somehow.

39-43

 

[tidwell]

Noah Lowry (8-6, 3.46) vs. Mike Maroth (0-0, 5.23) tonight in St. Louis. Barry Bonds comes to town.

 

[tidwell]

Cards trail 4-0 in the 6th... 3 of those runs thanks to an error by Taguchi in center.

More errors than hits thus far. Woowee.

 

[tidwell]

And they lose 4-3.

Duncan had a pinch hit two run single in the 9th, but they couldn't manage anymore.

Nice start for Maroth, only gave up 1 earned. That error cost'em.

Percival and Cate combined for 4 innings of shutout ball. Take that every night.

39-44

 

[Heebs]

Maroth is tearing up the NL after moving leagues huh.
Nice switch for him.

Maroth is tearing up the NL after moving leagues huh.
Nice switch for him.

He looked like garbage Sunday in Cincinnati.

That a boy.

 

[tidwell]

Tim Lincecum (3-2, 4.64) vs. Braden Looper (6-6, 4.65) tonight in game two.

 

[Heebs]

He looked like garbage Sunday in Cincinnati.

Hey, it's tough to pitch to Adam Dunn and Scott Hatteburg...

 

[tidwell]

Cards lose again 7-6.

Miles managed to commit 3 errors in 1 inning which led to 3 unearned runs. Second night in a row that unearned runs cost'em the game. Bummer.

39-45
