Cardinals answer right back with a run 3-1. I don't think they are going away.

Give him one more start then get rid of Marquis. Really? he finished his night with 8 straight balls He is still going to give us a better chance to win than Marquis IMO.

They also got out of a huge jam in the first.

I'll give him that one. He deserves it after his all-star performance. I wonder if Uggla bought him a round for that one play? he should have bought him a boat Why? Does Tejada have a house in Cedar Rapids?

Yep, nice zone clown.

very true I gave most of that fifth round a run through on baseball cube and it's filled with .500 OPS shortstops and 23-year old 5.00 ERA guys in A ball. We gave Samardzija a lot of money, but it doesnt look like it has effected our overall budget and, for a fifth rounder, he's a decent prospect. At this point it looks like, at the very least, we're going to get some decent major league innings from him, how many other 5th round and beyond guys from 2006 can you say that about? Not many, i'd bet. I know it's not exactly a ringing endorsement, but it could be a lot worse. You can't really judge him as a 5th rounder. The Cubs took Colvin, in part, so they could afford Samardzija in the 5th. It's like drafting a guy who wants 1st round money in the 20th and still giving him that money. You can't say they got a steal at 20, and here, they didn't even wait until the very low rounds to risk the pick on him. I don't think your memory is accurate on this. Wasn't that the year that the Cubs didn't have any picks in the 2nd and 3rd round (maybe even 4th), due to FA signings, and had the money left over from those slots to take a gamble on a 5th rd pick. I remember the Cubs stating over and over that they believed that Colvin was the best player available. Well if Wilken thought that Colvin was a better player than Snider, that is very scary.

Oh, we can still love Wieters.

I didn't bother reading this, but I am sure it says at some point, they are afterall the cubs. You know the cubs haven't won it all in 100 years. Yep this Cubs team for 2008 hasn't won a title in 100 years. Man I hope the Brewers are watching the playoffs again, their fans need to be reminded of their lack of relevance on the national scene.

Seriously, after Headley I have no idea who any of these hitters are. Yeah, but you would have thought 3 would be enough for Peavey to win. :roll:

Why wouldn't they bunt him over? So odd even though its on the road you have to tie it before you can win it. Because they are a really bad baseball team.

Hey now that's Rick Sutcliffe's boyfriend.

"The patented 'Cardinal Pixie Dust'... get some!" Oh come on. He has a career .860 OPS, its not like this is really far from the norm. Since 2004: .930, .885, .868, .839, and now .888 with the Cards.[/quote}] So he was on a steady decline and then this offseason was implicated for receiving HGH. But still is able to reverse that trend, odd.

Glaus goes deep again. HGH party in the Lou tonight.

Not anymore. HGH with a homer.

This is very strange. I hope we aren't rushing him back.

Chris Capuano, Hong-Chih Kuo, Victor Zambrano and Jeff Zimmerman have had two. Apparently Jose Rijo got it done three times. :shock: I seem to recall Chad Fox has had multiple TJS too. Yep he can thank Dusty for number 2.

He was safe on a great slide.

Your right after his 28 homers last night in round one they should have concetrated on talking about something new and fresh like say the Sox and Yanks.

He just wishes.

You want the Cardinals to have home field in the World Series? Yes Good one.

Jeter stole that base off Sheets. Even a perfect throw by Soto wouldn't have gotten there in time. Still was a horrible throw. But yeah that one was off Sheets but then Milton Bradley? really? If only we had a good catcher like Jason Kendall.

You want us to have home field in the World Series?

Keep walking people Sheets. Get the PC up.
