Don't know if I'm breaking protocol by starting a thread here. If so, my apologies..but wanted to add a note about the STL vs PIT game tonight...

 

Things look quite wet down in STL both today and tomorrow...there's a very plausible scenario in which one or both of the next two could be cancelled...making for an even rougher stretch for the Redbirds down the road....

I'm not sure if you heard the news, but it's 2007.

It is NASTY here right now...a freakin monsoon...but it doesn't look like the kind of stuff that will last for 6 hours (if it does I'll need a boat) and I'd have to think they'll go a LONG time before calling this one tonight.

Does this alter TLR's approach with Mulder?

[moorecg]

Good thought...probably not though...they won't start the game unless they think they can finish it....

 

Best case scenario for the Cubs (worst case for STL) would have been this game starting...going 3-4 innings and THEN the monsoon hitting...then they would have burned a pitcher AND had to add another game to the schedule....as is, if it goes (and its still looking nasty and my office is high up and faces west and I don't see a break coming soon) they won't start till they have a big window....

Keep us posted on what you hear from down there -- This could really end up being very important.

Wow, Philly lost a heartbreaker in very unlucky fashion, a bunch of bloops and bleeders and seeing eye singles.

Its 6:10 local for a 7:10 start...and right now, I'd be suprised if the game started on time.

their bullpen is still a complete train wreck though

Absolutely, and they are going to get hammered for this game, even though there was little they could, or should have done differently.

11-0 Milwaukee. It's safe to say they are winning today.

[Omar]

D-Rays winning 17-2 against the Orioles.

 

Should've gotten CapitolOne.

[TruffleShuffle]

the orioles pitching staff makes the phillies bullpen look good. It's basically Erik Bedard and a bunch of trash.

D-Rays winning 17-2 against the Orioles.

 

Should've gotten CapitolOne.

 

Carlos Pena with 2 HR's and 7 RBI's.
