    Short memory? :) remember the game this year when we blew a 5 or 6 run lead thanks to Dempster? Yeah the Mets game. He's horrible. Put him up in the booth with Ronny as a second cheerleader. He doesn't belong on the mound. 90% close rate. Look at his numbers in save situations. He was bad tonight and he's had some blowups, but he's been a good closer. Don't care. It's luck. His stuff is worse than a career AA pitcher. Every pitch is slop. Well that's an awful lot of luck, because he's kept hitters off base at a solid rate in save situations and kept them from scoring at a decent rate. Oh and he's saved at a successful rate. But it's just been 5 months of luck. Yeah, it is. I remember Joe Borowski pull off luck save after luck save. Then he broke our hearts. Dempster will do the same.

    Thank you. Good Lord :roll:

    Christ almighty. Can someone please get one [expletive] out?
  7. Soul
    No doubt. Hello? There's 2 freaking outs. GET THE DAMN OUT. :evil:

    I hope so. With any luck we can just let him rot on the bench for the rest of the year. Woody looked better last night. Just make Howry/Marmol the closer tandem and Woody's your setup guy. Screw Dempster. He's been a 3-run walkoff waiting to happen all year. Just been lucky when he closes, it won't last. He'll blow at least a couple down the stretch if we try to use him there.

    Demp is just horrible. What a clown.
  10. Soul
    LMAO. Dempster shouldn't close EITHER game tomorrow people. Just use him up tonight and bench his sorry ass. I'd like to win tomorrow, thanks.
  11. Soul
    Nope. And that's why it wouldn't be good to have him close twice tomorrow. He might blow both of 'em.
  12. Soul
    Marmol, and it would be a good thing. This is not a bad decision, IMO.

    Just throw strikes dammit. Pujols can't hurt you with a solo shot.

    I think the Cards' outfield was playing a bit too far in. It wasn't Kendall at the plate anymore Tony.
  15. Soul
    YEEEEEEAAAHHHHH! God I LOVE FREAKING WARD MAN!! :D :D

    Crafty LaRussa. That was done on purpose to get Z out of there.
  17. Soul
    LOL, cards announcer: "Rick has a chance to continue the storybook story." Yeah, um right. You mean an addendum to Canseco's "Juiced?" Sure.
  18. Soul
    He's gonna lose him dammit.
  19. Soul
    I dunno....one run lead doesn't seem like it's gonna do it even though it's Z. It's too close!

    Pretty old, well-discussed question. I believe there is some pretty good data that shows sliding slows you down, and should only be done to avoid the tag. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Does_sliding_into_a_base_make_you_reach_base_faster haha, this can't be legit Yeah that's just pretty much some moron blabbing.

    Another crappy bounce. Great job DLee. This is it man. If you could somehow hold this one run lead the Cards season is effectively over. Cards' announcers pretty much just said the same thing last inning.

    Uncle Cliffy!!! Time to blow this damn thing open once and for all.
  24. Soul
    Ehhh....I think Lou's been doing an alright job of giving guys rest throughout the year. Nobody should tap into the "Lou tired them out" excuse if we don't make it. At least not positionally.

    Did no one find my hijack of the Wizard of Oz to be clever? Not even one? *sniffles* *kicks a stone* *walks away mumbling to himself*
