Cardinals don't have the talent to sustain hot start
There are few on it you would want for your team other than Albert Pujols.
Heck, there might be no one on it you could name other than Albert Pujols.

Additions and corrections are appreciated.

I'm going to watch the Chubs at Nationals park tonight. Hopefully I get to watch the beginning of their swoon

I'll be watching the scoreboard in hopes of a good game for the Redbirds.

Thanks Kat!
I have had the technician out with me, this afternoon, on my new computer checking the set up. I learned a little about
cleaning the fan on my old computer. I'm just getting to get in on today's games.
I'm hoping I have smooth sailing for a good while now.

I like the lineup. I want Glaus batting 5th every time. Not 4th.

Rain delay!
One hour delayed, now.
Delayed 2 hours now.

They got it going after 2 hours.

Kodiak · April 25th, 2008, 09:58 PM

I brought home a winner for the Nationals over the Chubs. Nice walk off homer from the third string catcher!

However, if you get a chance to watch baseball tonight or Sportscenter, you'll see one of the best catchers ever from the Cubs. Amazing.....

Kodiak · April 25th, 2008, 10:28 PM

Izzy hasn't been good lately.

It is annoying that we are playing for a tie with Berkman batting (runners are back and we're pitching to him with one out and runner on third) when we are leading 2-1.....

And Izzy blows the save.

Kodiak · April 25th, 2008, 10:29 PM

And its 3-2. Barf.

Kodiak · April 25th, 2008, 10:44 PM

Wow. Rick has lost any and all plate discipline. He swings and strikes out on a pitch WAY out of the zone as he can't drive in the runner from third with less than 2 out. Ugly ugly ugly.

tulcard · April 26th, 2008, 04:45 AM

Extremely disappointing....

ArRedbird · April 26th, 2008, 05:40 AM

Can't help but think that something's physically wrong with Izzy-man.

Kodiak · April 26th, 2008, 10:31 AM

Gotta agree Redbird. His velocity is WAY off and his location is horrid. Something has to be wrong.
