Since there's no other games thread, I'll post it here. Worst call I've seen in a long time on a clear home run ball in the Mets/Yanks game. Riley (3rd base ump) calls it a homer, it WAS a homer without any question whatsoever, then the home plate ump comes over and calls it foul and it is taken off the board. -
This is a good point, but Lou has one thing Dusty will never have - a good philosophy. An emphasis on patience has turned this offense into what it is today - despite his oftentimes mind-boggling ingame moves. I have yet to find a manager who didn't make a few mind-boggling in game moves. And I agree, Lou's overall baseball philosophy is superior to Dusty's.

Soto in AAA last year: .353/.424/.652 Ludwick in AAA two years ago (his last full minor league season): .266/.342/.506 In Ludwick's defense, I think it's been several years since he's been healthy and he's had quite a few injuries over the years that have prevented him from playing much. On the other hand, he's hitting a home run about every 10 PAs this year. Ridiculous. He's got to be juicing. There's no way he's that good. Not even over a short period of time.

you mean aside from the roids? Yeah. Like maybe they're much better at stealing signs than other teams. Just a thought.
-
It makes one wonder if they aren't somehow cheating ala the Patriots. I can understand catching lightning in the bottle but they've got 3, 4 guys like that every single year. No other team in the majors can hope for more than 1 guy like that in maybe a 2 or 3 year span. Seriously, it's ridiculous. And no, LaRussa is not just that damn good. Nobody is *that* good.
-
Hell yeah. Why bother when you can sign these bozos and have them turn up gold every damn time?
-
...and schumaker wins it. what a joke.
-
Great. The Cards now have 2 on 1 out because of another lucky junk hit by Izzy.
-
Damn our Sham Closer. Damn him to hell.
-
The Sham Closer thing is beginning to take on legendary proportions.
-
I thought it was a slow gun, but Wood's throwing 94. I thought I saw a Marmol fastball @ 92 or 93 today. But I'm not sure.
-
Bixler should pose no threat.
-
2 saves, 4 opportunities. That must be why I'm nervous.
-
Come on Kerry baserunners are the devil here.
-
Ugh. What's Kerry's save % with one-run leads?
-
I'm not comfortable going to the 9th with only a one run lead.
-
Ummm, that was pretty bad Fuku.
-
Marmol came back strong, got through it.
-
Carlos isn't looking as sharp.
-
Sometimes when the angle is right Carlos looks a lot like Obama to me. I think it's the ears.
-
Swinging at every junk pitch a reliver throws at you when your team could really use more offense isn't the best way to earn more playing time.
-
This thing is shaping up perfectly for a pirates comeback. Way to tack on some insurance guys.
-
He needs a rest.
-
It's '08 ronny, not '07. horrible.

Hey, Bob's actually not too damn bad.
