Yup, not too shabby. I would not expect anything less against the Orioles though. Missed tonight's game against T.B but caught the highlights, pretty interesting 3 run jack for Colby, T.B lost a lot of players due to tempers flaring. I did catch a River Bats game tonight against the Braves farm team while I' home in Louisville on leave, hey reds boys why is Adam Wood pitching for them? He had a decent game we won 2-4.

It's on

688sonarmen · 07-04-2011, 06:53 PM

Good, no, GREAT game tonight. Unfortunately I had to watch on the Cincinnati feed while I'm on leave in Ky. I don't know where they get their announcers from but they are pretty comical. The game scoring run was described as "Wow, I mean that was hit by a grown man!"

Anyways GO CARDS!

Glad Carp got another win. He really had to earn this one.

688sonarmen · 07-06-2011, 06:00 PM

Of all the games to miss I was on the road for last nights! A record breaking blast by Berkman and a double shot of home runs by Holliday! Good thing MLB TV has it still for viewing. And Pujols comes back tonight, I hope it's not going to be an issue. GO CARDS!

688sonarmen · 07-07-2011, 03:36 AM

Wild game last night, I went to bed after it was 8-0 in the 8th, looks like we had a good rally but it was not enough. I'm telling you it looked hopeless just after the 1st pitch!

qwerty1500 · 09-28-2011, 10:13 PM

Wow ... Wildcard winners.

The Cards were so bad from late July through August that I couldn't hardly watch them. Terrible bullpen.

What a great September run! What a historic Atlanta collapse.

I never thought a month ago that we would make the play-offs. Hope they can play the Phils as tight as they did in our last series with them.

Yes, it can always happen. I heard a report from the Phillys that one series does not matter in the grand scheme of things. We will see

Night before last at the 5th inning I thought we were done, then comes the bats! All season long the Cards have come alive while being behind and with 2 outs left in the inning, hopefully this will help in the post season. Thoughts on Pujols? I saw let him go and invest in pitching for next year.

When the Cards played their last series in Chicago, I heard from some friends that there were Cub fans running around with Pujols printed on the back of Cubs jerseys. If they want to pay $300 million for 10 years, I'd say let them have him. Albert had an off year, BA under .300 and less than 100 RBIs. That should hurt his value unless he really goes on a tear during the playoffs ... let's hope.

Unless we can get Albert for a reasonable price, I would also like to see them spend some real cash on pitching. A real closer would be nice. Just think where we'd be if we had not had 25+ blown saves this year?

Wano will be back but with questions. Carp turned it on the end of the year. Lohse looks solid. Garcia is still too inconsistant but I haven't thrown in the towel on him yet. I'd be willing to see Jackson and Westbrook go and spend some of that $30 million on another top of the rotation guy.

Lots of good young talent in the outfield. Without Pujolis, Berkman goes to first and Craig would look good in right field. If we could fill the SS spot with a good glove and an above average bat, the infield would be solid too.

It's too early for that winter stove stuff. I'm more interested in seeing if Halladay no-hits us in the first game.

The bullpen ... goats one night, heroes the next. It's been like that all season. Some great at-bats, made Lee work for it. Nice to finally get a win in the post-season.

It's a flip of the coin. I can see why Tony changed the line up and put Carp in there, not that it helped much but we did break a potential win streak. I thik Oswalt is next, then we are out of the way of the Super Human Philly pitchers

Looks like Hamels (2.79 ERA but we did beat him 5-0 last time) is next, then I guess Oswalt (only 3.69 ERA but shut us out for 7 innings last time) ... they just keep coming don't they?

688sonarmen · 10-04-2011, 07:15 PM

Good game, I thought we might pull it off. Garcia had great stuff but just ran out of steam and let one hang. But as long as there is a game left we have a chance!

Killian · 10-05-2011, 03:52 PM

Should be a good one tonight. Got plenty of help in the bullpen so we can't have that collapse tonight.

I thought we were going to pull out the win last night. Tony should have pinch hit for Garcia when he got out with men on base and then comes back to give up the long ball. Typical Tony. Gotta do it tonight. I'm not ready to listen to all of the Pujols contract talks yet.

688sonarmen · 10-05-2011, 04:06 PM

Garcia can still swing a bat and was pitching well, I think it really came loose when we walked in front of a pinch hitter. I can't stand it when our players get int walks and I don't like it when we do the same.

Gosh ... rest doesn't seem to make much difference with this bullpen. Hope Jackson pitches the best game of his career.

My wife thought the same thing about letting Garcia hit with two men on. Hey, he had only given up three hits at that point and, maybe, Tony worries about the bullpen as much as I do. I think I was more upset about the batter he walked before giving up the HR.

The only silver lining is that the Phillies bullpen may be just as bad as ours. Lets hope Oswalt doesn't have it and we can get into their pen early.

Not ready to give up on the Cards yet.
