Alright, Carlos. You can knock this off any time.

[C.C.]

Just need to keep scoring. I have a feeling no lead is going to be safe this game. Just a hunch...

[Guest]

Matt Holliday is going to hit .650 the rest of the year with the Cardinals. 1-0 STL

 

Matt Holliday hitting like a world beater+Cardinals missing the playoffs=Matt Holliday playing for the Yankees or Red Sox in 2010.

 

That would be hilarious. Out Brett Wallace and they don't keep Holliday.

 

Considering Matt Holliday is a FA and his agent is Scott Boras I say that is a distinct possibility. Not to mention I believe I heard LaRussa and Duncan are also "Free agents" this offseason.......

 

Yeah, I doubt the Cards keep Holliday with the Red Sox and Yankees lurking. They'll get the 2 draft picks though.

 

Right, but I'd rather see them trade off a top prospect like Brett Wallace for only 3 months of Matt Holliday and then start over developing those draft picks. Assuming Holliday doesn't re-sign, they could easily have leveraged a talent like Wallace into more than 3 months of big league talent.

[DiamondMind]

I hate this stupid miracle whip commercial. It's MIRACLE WHIP. Quit trying to make it badass or w/e.

[BigSlick]

is it greedy to ask for more runs because Z looks horrid

 

more runs

[Andy]

The Astros have scored on Carpenter! The impossible has happened!

[RedFlash]

No you're not. You don't want to know what kind of game this feels like to me, but I won't mentioned it. Suffice to say, I want 8-15 runs tonight.

[Sammy Sofa]

Hah! I love the Marlins' strikeout music.

Oh absolutely. It's going to be quite painful if the Cards can't resign Holliday after what they gave up. They gave up 4 of their top 6 prospects for Holliday and DeRo, correct?

can you explain why you spell like this? it has to be the most annoying thing I have ever seen on this message board and you do it in every post.

[BigSlick]

a Z dinger would be cool

[Maddog31]

Matt Holliday with a single. 2-2 tonight again.

 

This is too much. :lol:

[Bruno7481]

I know he leaves a lot to be desired offensively, but I think Koyie Hill deserves some credit for catching for pretty much three weeks straight without a day off. That is a hell of a workload.

[DiamondMind]

Z: Better pitcher, or hitter? :-k

[E.J.]

Matt Holliday with a single. 2-2 tonight again.

 

This is too much. :lol:

 

I don't understand why it's too much. He's a quality hitter.

[BigSlick]

matt holliday will never be retired again, seriously

Especially in late July and early August.

The Cubs are extremely lucky that it's been a very mild summer so far. Can you imagine Hill catching all these games in a row if it was 90 degrees every day?

As long as Holliday and Pujols don't both score each time through the order, I count it a success.

He's hitting at a .600 clip as a Cardinal in over a week. The sucky part is, Pujols has been slumping recently. As soon as Holliday gets in a slump, Pujols will start hitting .600.

[Maddog31]

And the Cardinals didn't score in that inning despite Pujols and Holliday getting on with 0 outs.

[Derwood]

oh snap, I heard that

[Andy]

OUCH.

[Careless]

oh damn, I hope he's ok

[Derwood]

rub some dirt on it
