    Pretty funny that it just so happens as we skid against Tampa, the Cards can't win against the lowly Royals AT HOME. Then we put up a couple good wins against a quality opponent, and the Cards suddenly come alive against one of the best teams in baseball while on the road. Just very weird. There's no accounting for it, just how it goes I guess.

    :banghead: They are amazing, I have to admit it.

    Woody gives up a long ball here you won't feel the same way. The odds of an average major-leaguer hitting a HR in any given PA is like 2%. Why manage around that possibility? Because of what Woody just did.

    Alright enough of this crap please.

    Maybe he figured if he was tagged out he could call to the scorer's booth and whine his way out of it.

    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.

    Alright let's end this thing unceremoniously and then go watch the Cards get beat up by the BoSox. I can think of no better way to end my Saturday afternoon.

    So what's the over/under on a Marmol injury? 60% chance? 65?
  10. Soul
    Good Lord, please one more strike. I'm beggin' here.

    TAKE HIM OUT!
  12. Soul
    Alright that almost hit him. Take him out.

    Darn. 2 more walks for Marmol. Not good. That pitch was sooo close.

    There you go CM, right back on the horse!

    Holy crap Mark just scared the crap out of me.

    What are you talking about? Clearly Carlos needs some work without a slim lead on the line after sucking to high heaven the last time out.

    He crossed over the foul line toward 2nd. At the very least he should have scurried back to 1st, he had plenty of time.

    I agree, it's time Marshall got another shot anyway. With a little luck, he'll pitch well and we'll have an option to go to when Marquis inevitably stops being able to put together a decent start or two to keep the wolves away from his doorstep.

    Because he knows how to look tough; while throwing a punch as he's falling down to avoid another man's punch?? ....probably more like because teams desperate for help at a certain position tend to see something in a player that just isn't there.

    Even Red Sox nation crumbles in the face of St. Louis pixie dust. Orioles get out of it. I'll take a Crew loss over a Cards loss anyway. I'm convinced the Red Bird luck is starting to wane.

    Relatively, it is good. Very good. I had serious concerns about losing him for the season. Plus the rest wouldn't hurt him. He's not out of the woods yet. A minor tear doesn't always stay minor, even if you let him rest awhile. Then it is season over, and possibly more. Leave it to Kyle for encouraging words. Dude! Come on. This anti-negativity vibe is getting out of control. Yesterday, I heard it for saying the Cubs didn't look like a 100-win team anymore, and today I get it for just saying "he isn't out of the woods yet." Anyone who makes a living throwing baseballs but has a shoulder problems is not out of the woods. It's the comment "season over, and possibly more" that is overly negative, not the comment about "not being out of the woods."

    Most wins in the majors and they play defense like THIS?!? Wow.
  23. Soul
    Harris has done everything asked of him and more. I like it when we take care of our productive players. Captain Obvious has spoken.

    I think because it's to appease both the Cubs and Sox fans. Tommorow Len and Bob will be on WGN and the WS announcers on CSN. Sunday is on ESPN. Though I can't imagine that even White Sox fans would like to hear the Hawk. Hordes of them think he's great.

    I would LOVE to get Harden...but having Hendry trying to work a deal with Billy Beane scares me. Considering we don't have prospects I'm scared of losing, dealing with Beane bothers me less than usual. My guess is Beane would buy low and get Hill along with some other players he could either keep or spin elsewhere. My guess is Billy would end up with Hill + Pie + Ceda. Think Beane wants Pie or would try to move him elsewhere? Doesn't seem like a "Billy-boy" type of player to me. I could see him wanting to at least get Hill into the system to see what can be done with him.
