  1. A Marquis walk off would be fantastic.
  2. In shocking news, Alou just got doubled off first when he strayed too far off on a line drive.
  3. I still think that arm of his belongs in right where he can throw out people trying to advance to third too.
  4. Lou was counting on Bay to pull the ball into left field. :lol:
  5. If this game goes much longer I'm gonna need to leave to go get more cigarettes.
  6. no excuses. Just. throw. strikes. For all the talk about the mental game I keep hearing, it seems having the Sword of Damocles hanging above ones head might be the most distracting thing of all.
  7. I know Wuertz isn't looking his best, but maybe that's cause he thinks he's gonna get pulled everytime a lefty comes up. I sure hope Lou doesn't make the mistake of leaving Ohman in vs a righty... cause he gets smoked by em.
  8. Have you checked their stats? Game threads aren't for rational thought. Although to be fair, despite our inherited runners streak and generally strong numbers, we're way down the list in WXRL for a reason. We give up runs in bad opportunities. Pardon my stupidity, but what's WXRL? Win Expectation above Replacement, Lineup-adjusted Basically it's a measure of how well our bullpen does for us towards helping win games. Three innings of scoreless relief in a blowout ballgame doesn't affect it nearly as much as blown saves or holds... conversly, when Wuertz came in with the bases juiced and nobody out in a close game and struck out the side, that counted a bunch.

  10. I was thinking more along the lines of, "and we're keeping Soriano's arm in left because...?"
  11. Is Dempster starting to remind anyone else of Mitch Williams?
  12. It wasn't a bad play considering DLee was backing up. Now he can score on a WP or PB Considering the odds of a WP or a PB compared to the odds of him getting thrown out in the 8th inning as the tying runner already in scoring position, it was a stupid call.
  13. Sarcasm? Cause it's not near worth the risk when there's 2 down and you're already in scoring position as the tying run.
  14. For all the whining in this thread, you'd think we were losing. It's tied and we're at home. The only thing not favouring us right now is Snell's pitch count.
  15. yes I think it's time I pirate a signal, then. A ha! I found a way to get into Mosaic without a subscription... can't change the audio, though.
  16. yes I think it's time I pirate a signal, then.
  17. "yeah, easily" It's painful is what it is. Pretty much. Freaking WCIU...
  18. How can you have a fantasy team with a .348 BA and a .362 OBP? Wouldn't you have a couple players that would bring that up? He's got... Russell Martin, Shawn Green, Aaron Rowand, Jimmy Rollins, Brian Roberts, Juan Pierre, Todd Helton, Aramis Ramirez, and Carl Crawford. He's only got one walk, and that was by Rollins.
  19. The Cardinals announcers are now talking about how Chris Duncan could add 20-30 lbs of muscle to his frame. :shock:
  20. so far this week??? It's Tuesday. Still got 40-50 some at bats in... We both had near full teams going yesterday.
