  1. This Edmonds batting 5th thing better not be something that isn't changeable, because I would hate to see himi hitting 5th in September and completely blowing
  2. but... but... he hit for the cycle is that the only thing you know?yep. i actually have no idea how good of a player Gomez is. inform me. Think of a RH version of Felix Pie. Got good ML talent, but like Pie he is still extremely raw. That's the impression I get from Gomez. are the twins at least letting him play everyday? is he showing improvement? I don't know, I wouldn't take him, he's got trash plate discipline and unimpressive power right now. .269-.302-.379 Ugh, 75 K's verse 12 BB's, ugly. Incredibly unimpressive minor league slash stats of .278-.336-.399 One worries that the Twins pretty much gave Santana away for nothing. He doesn't seem to be half the prospect Pie is.
  3. The Royals are playing better baseball than the Twins Twins aren't going anywhere. The Cardinals aren't outplaying their equivalent levels as much as they are.
  4. Got back from the game a couple hours ago, tons of fun. Got a nice picture of the rainbow as well. Dempster was fantastic, glad to see him have some more success.
  5. I'll be at the game, boys and girls, so enjoy a rare day without me in the game thread.
  6. This seems an odd time to have a thread just as DLee has started turning it around
  7. Fly out, Single Is there any doubt this will be a big inning?
  8. Tim McCarver waxing poetic on Ankiel while Ankiel is only having a so-so year Don't think he'll be amazing without his HGH anymore
  9. AARON MILES HOME RUN CARDINALS LEAD 2-0 WITH NO OUT IN THE 1ST
  10. The Cubs don't need another reliever. The pen is fine. Agreed. I'd like to see Lieber get some more work but its all good.
  11. Woody gives up a long ball here you won't feel the same way. Wouldn't make the situation anymore dire, this isn't a situation where the opposing team has much leverage, they don't even have the tying run at bat and they have 2 outs.
  12. Reason #378 on why Saves are stupid This is a save situation
  13. This is the longest ridiculous blow out games than I've ever seen Ugh, just let Howry pitch out of it, this is stupid
  14. They're starting some bozo from the minors today against Dice-K. If they don't lose today, then there should be a federal investigation. You never know, Dice-K was having some major control problems earlier this year, even still That lineup shouldn't be able to score runs, it just defies explanation, especially against good pitchers
  15. I'm like 80% sure that if we sweep the White Sox, the Cardinals will sweep the Red Sox They refuse to give an inch, although they helpfully got swept by the Royals this week.
  16. ](*,) Got three outs at least, more than can be said of his last appearance.
  17. Marmol needs to do something, maybe this is a dead arm period
  18. I have a feeling Marmol will eventually settle down, but we'll not see the amazing unhittable Marmol of earlier this year Oh well.
  19. Thats the first out Marmol has recorded in his last 5 batters
  20. You don't want to try to straighten Marmol out after he's been wild and hasn't had much work in the past few weeks? I'm not opposed to it.
  21. Hahahah, I can't believe the Cubs have 15 innings of 5 runs or more
  22. Marquis came into today with an ERA+ of 105, which is pretty consistent with his last few seasons. What more do people want from him? The problem is he's a stupid goofball. He walks hitters that don't walk, gives up home runs to players that don't hit home runs, makes stupid insanely dangerous tosses to first on routine plays, or makes low throws on possible double plays. He even has a balk, no one else on the team has a balk. Its not how bad he is, its how he goes about being bad.
  23. Can Marquis pitch another inning or two without ruining the lead?
