Probables: Joel Pineiro vs Johnny Cueto @ 7PM.
What will Tony do thinking that he will confuse Dusty tonight?

16-11 is not a really bad record. One game behind first place.

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.

Off topic, not directly baseball.

Thanks for the lineups kat!
I'm glad cleanup is Ankiel (or Ludwick).
Glaus is OK batting 5th!

Ahh the not so tailor made classic 5-1-4-1-9-6 double play....something like that.

Kodiak · 04-29-2008, 08:17 PM

Life is good when Rick the Stick is hitting well.

Kodiak · 04-29-2008, 08:55 PM

Well I'm sure glad that I started Troy on my fantasy team this week. I guess I shouldn't have benched Rick!

Kodiak · 04-29-2008, 09:32 PM

7-0. The Cards have scored as many runs as Albert has left men on base tonight.

Ewttexas · 04-29-2008, 10:43 PM

Cards win 7-2.
When the only 2 negatives to be upset about are Reyes' giving up a 2 run HR to Dunn in the 9th and Albert leaving 9 men on, it's not a bad night. All of the Card's scoring came in the 1st 2 innings but it held up because of another great quality start by Pineiro.
Back with the recap in a few minutes.

Ewttexas · 04-29-2008, 11:03 PM

The Cards had 15 hits. Schu led the way with 4. Ank had 3 with 2 doubles. Glaus had 2 with a double and Izturis and Kennedy each had 2 singles. I like the lineup with Schu batting 1st and Kennedy 2nd. It gave Albert a bunch of opportunities which he didn't cash in on. Yadi had a double and Dunc had a single.
Pineiro was brilliant. He started out a little shaky but he settled down to go 7 innings giving up 1 hit with 4 BBs and 3 Ks. He has evened his record at 2-3 and his ERA is 3.75. Villone pitched a perfect 8th with a K. His ERA is 0.93. Reyes is either very good or very bad. He seems to fair better in long relief. He went 1 inning giving up 2 runs on 2 hits.
QC lost this afternoon and Springfield won tonight. Memphis came from down 7-1 but they are losing 9-7 in the bottom of the 9th. Be sure to check in with Coop for the Memphis final and the rest of the minor league news.
The Mutts beat Pitts 5-4 in 10 and Milw leads at Chi 10-7 in the 8th.
That'll do it for tonight. Tomorrow afternoon, it's Loop vs. Harang. Forget his record. He's always been a handful for the Cards.
See ya later.
