Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

Lynn had a sort of implosion late last year. I think also he is putting weight back on. I'm not sure what it all means but maybe he has the game endurance to be a starter but not the season endurance.

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

Yeah, he did. Think we heard the first pop?

Hadn't noticed the weight thing ... but I'll be looking for it.

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

Sheesh ........

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

Had to happen some time, fitting it was against Miami.

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

Yep, totally agree.

If that's how they are going to play in the heat and humidity, it's going to be a long summer in St. Louis.

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

Got to watch that awful game in person.

Wanno had a disasterous first inning. Our line-up didn't seem to be trying to work the count and kept their starter in the game ... who looked like Cy Young for the 8 innings I saw. Freese with two dp's killed the only rally hopes until the 9th inning. Plus, we had to sit next to two cub fans ...

Can't say I enjoyed it much.

But ... trying to find something good to say ... it was a beautiful night to be at Busch.

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

It did look nice on tv. I came in before the last out in the bottom of the 1st and had to rub my eyes. That S 13 guy for the Cubs was pitching pretty good though. Hey at least the 9th showed some promise. I feel for you though, the next ge I'm going to is July 7th vs Miami, going to be really pissed if the Cards lose.

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

At Busch again tonight. Great seats ... row 14 between home and the cubies dugout. Perfect spot to watch Westbrook. Was a little concerned after his last outing but he looked solid ... everything seemed to be working.

Some sloppy play on defense. Not a lot of offense ... but enough. Hoping Holliday is coming out of his slump ... that boy is streaky.

Overall, enjoyed this one much more than last night. Negatives? We're hitting into too many double plays. And, Busch is starting to warm up ... mid 80's all night and not much of breeze.

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

It was good to see Westbrook get a W. there should have been more double plays but the Cubs defense like the Cards was a little sloppy. I was really surprised to see M Carpenters. Also Yaddi has not been himself on defense lately. But a W is a W!

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

Is it possible that Lynn "un-imploded?" I didn't see any of this game ... had to work ... but listened to the 8th and 9th innings on the way home. From the box score and what I've heard, it sounds like Lynn had his game going. However, only 6 innings and 90+ pitches ... 3 hits, 6 strike-outs and only 2 walks ... sounds like he had to work for every out.

Holliday was 2 for 4 with a HR ... slump seems gone ... for now.

Still a little concerned about the DP's. Hit into 2 and one was a rally killer.

Tonight, they're matching up Lyons against the Rangers. Hope that works out ...

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

Lynn was pitching vs the Cubs, lol! Maybe he just was a little uneasy for a few games. Not sure how the Rangers are doing this year but it should be interesting!

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

Well ... wasn't his "implosion" against the Marlins ... an even worse record that our beloved cubbies?

Rangers are a pretty good club again, as we saw last night. Why do we have so much trouble with left-handers every single year?

I'm about ready to throw in the towel on Mr Lyons. Shelby tonight.

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

So what's this story about Matt Holliday hitting a dinger with his dong out? I thought you could only be swinging ONE bat atta time! :r

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

Looks like they did send Lyons back down. Kelly proved last year he could start and has had limited innings this year to build up stamina, why not get him going and stop bringing young guys up from the minors.

I have no clue about the Matt Holliday dong, lol!

Go Cards and Go Miller!

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

Blacked out on MLBTV and flipping Baughston is on FOX, FML!

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

Kelly was good last year/night ... why not?

Matt? Remember Jeffery "one-flap down" Leonard's home run trot ... sort of the same deal.

Rain delay ... they will get it in.

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

Lol! Just saw this, Matt Cs reaction in the dugout is classic!

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

We need Wainwright to be the stopper tonight. You would think that our offense might have a chance against their rookie (9.00+ ERA in his last 3 games) ... but who knows ... they seem to be on vacation this weekend.

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

Missed the game, and missing the offense the Cards had just a few series ago!

Re: St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!
 

Swept and there is drama going on between Wainwright and Mathney.
