Outshined_One

It's closed on weekends and at night on weekdays. They're doing a lot of construction down there until the end of October.

I came here to post the same thing. He ended up throwing 132 pitches. He was at 118 at the end of the 7th and Bochy tossed him back out there. Nuts. McCovey Chronicles just exploded.

Replacing Marmol with Ceda would be moronic. Ceda's had some impressive control problems throughout his career, despite the great stuff. Bringing Ceda up to get him some major league experience and seasoning when rosters expand? Sure, why not. He could be used in blowouts effectively.

Must...refrain...from snark...

Just wait for the Phillies to score 7 in the 9th.

What? FSNMW was advertising this thing about Mizzou games being on PPV on September 6th and 13th. I didn't catch all of it. More Info

Remember when the Cardinals were considered a sound defensive team?

Underrated thing about the Cubs' broadcasts: No roving reporters. The Cards' broadcast is currently dedicating a lot of time to interviewing the St. Louis Blues' President/GM/Whatever.

Other teams suck at hit and runs, too!?

Al Hrabosky wants every AB to end in a HBP, apparently.

Meatball down the middle gets Glaus looking.

Men on first and second, no outs for the Cards. Also, you apparently can take Ryan Ludwick to school with you if you win a contest.

The RBI double pretty much died in the dirt. That was odd.

Mizzou is showing games on PPV? Ouch.

You mean other teams' star players occasionally chase bad pitches way out of the zone, too?!

That was decidedly Cub-like on the Cardinals' part.

Is Hrabosky out taking a dump or something? I haven't heard him in the booth this entire inning.

Adam Wainwright, you are no Greg Maddux.

The Cardinals with a stellar defensive display there.

Yeap. I'm watching the Brewers feed. And yes, I'm an idiot because there are probably 3 or 4 other things I could be doing that would be more fun. Between the two teams' broadcasters, I have a hard time deciding which I hate more. On the one hand, Hrabosky is a crotchety bastard, but still has a decent grasp on the game. On the other hand, the Brewers' announcers are a bit easier on the ears, but they don't sound like they know or care much about baseball.

Who else is tormenting themselves and watching this? I got it on the Cardinals feed.

He's the latest in the Cardinals' "Super Soldier" program, their genetic engineering intiative to produce an army of defensively-challenged first baseman/outfielder/DH types. http://mlb.mlb.com/images/players/mugshot/ph_408219.jpg This was their first subject, using Dave Duncan's DNA as the base. As you can see, it has since experienced quite a bit of clonal degeneration, as the process was imperfect. http://mlb.mlb.com/images/players/mugshot/ph_458628.jpghttp://mlb.mlb.com/images/players/mugshot/ph_458036.jpg Their second two efforts have been marginally more successful, at least as far as the degeneration goes, but between the two of them they're hitting about .200, so the program is still searching for its first perfect subject. Meet the next prototype, Brett Wallace: http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/1143/430180hy5.jpg

What an absolute nightmare. You know, I have to wonder if this was part of Boras' plans all along.
