Official Thread of the St. Louis Cardinals

[tclowers23]

Big RBI double right there by Miles in the 7th inning.

 

[tclowers23]

Followed by an intentional walk to Pujols, and then an RBI single from Ankiel.

Izzy needs the insurance runs.

 

[tclowers23]

Cardinals win 5-2 to take the series from the Reds. Looper was Looper, without the huge blow-up inning. It was the Cardinals franchise-record 18th win in April.

It was good to see Izzy get a scoreless inning and a save.

Schumaker: 1-for-5, R

Ready for an early 1st place showdown in St Looey? Looking forward to watching all weekend. WGN tomorrow night, FOX Sat Baseball, then Sun. Night Baseball on ESPN. Good luck Cards but, I hope we sweep.

 

[tclowers23]

I'm just glad the Cards don't face Zambrano. I hate that dude.

 

[abvol]

Yeah, Kerry Wood screwed him over today.:realmad:

 

[d4ster3]

I just hope we dont get rained out tomorrow :crossfingers:

 

[tclowers23]

Looks like all the rain should be gone by the afternoon. They'll play ball tonight.

[tclowers23]

:dance2:All right, now let's give Wainwright his 2nd loss.

Wainwright was in line for his 4th victory... before Izzy blew yet another game.

 

[tclowers23]

Cardinals with a good win today over the Cubs, 5-3 in 11 innings. Skip Schumaker was the hero, Isringhausen was the zero. Izzy seriously needs to shape up or ship out (retire). He has an ERA of 7.11 and 3 blown saves on the year.

By the way, the Cubs made some embarassing mistakes today in the field.

Wainwright (ND): 6.1 IP, 4 H, ER, BB, 5 K; 1-for-3, R

Schumaker: 1-for-4, Walk-off 2-R HR (2)
Ankiel: 1-for-4, 2 R

Ludwick: 1-for-4
Molina: 2-for-4, 2 RBI
Ryan: 2-for-4, RBI
Miles: 1-for-1, R

Current record: 19-11

[tclowers23]

Cards drop game two to the Cubs 9-3. Lohse got rocked, but somehow stayed in the game 6+ innings. Cardinals scattered 6 hits around, include 2 solo HRs.

Lohse (L, 3-1): 6 IP, 9 H, 8 ER, 2 BB

That is the Kyle Lohse that I ahve always known.

Every time Lohse has a bad outing, I know to look for your post in this thread.

 

[tclowers23]

Cardinals take the series from the Cubs with a 5-3 win. Wellemeyer only lasted 5 innings, but the bullpen was able to preserve the win tonight. The Cardinals are getting good at this small-ball thing.

Schumaker: 1-for-5, RBI

Joel Pineiro (2-2, 3.75) vs. Ubaldo Jimenez (1-2, 5.90)

 

[tclowers23]

Mulder got roughed up for the second straight outing down in AAA-Memphis.

6 IP, 9 H, 7 ER, 2 BB, 4 K

Stats with Memphis: 0-2, 13.03 ERA

Not very encouraging.

 

[tclowers23]

Cardinals beat the Rockies 6-5 tonight, despite a poor outing from Pineiro. La Russa pulled Pineiro after 3 innings because he was getting rocked. He just didn't look right. He hit a big two-run double, though.

Parisi made his major league debut tonight for the Cards, and pitched 2 shutout innings.

Pineiro (ND): 3 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 3 ER, K; 1-for-2, 2 RBI
