Pugs,
I ate six (6) of them there catfish fiddlers so something tells me the Cards will score six runs tonight. I’m calling this one 6-3 Cardinals.
I hope I don’t get catfished on this prognostication.
r/Esteemed Rat
Hey Pugs I made Self- rising crust, supreme pizza tonight. Grocery store cardboard pizza. Not bad but not as good as the real thing. Looking forward to the next 2 wks. Team really rolled last night
Previous 2 nights were a little ugly but close. I’d much rather be where we are versus our contenders. If you don’t think you can win then you really have no chance to at all
Its not so stressful, you just take ’em one game at a time. Go Cardinals!Like mommy always said…”a catfish fiddler a day keeps the doctor at bay”. In Rat’s case, he downed 6 of them. You’ll live to 100, Rat!
Waino yields a cheap pop fly single (Grisham)to left to open things up…a play where Marcell did not get a decent jump on the ball. Then Grandal walks and just like that the Birds find themselves looking down the barrel ….sweet!…Moose pops out to Edman in foul territory at 3rd…we needed that. Then Cain pops a foul ball down the right field line that Goldy chases down with the efficiency of a gazelle…2 outs as Grisham advanced to 3rd. Thames strikes out! No harm inflicted as the Birds prepare to get their whacks in vs Doogie Houser.
Somebody talked me into trying fish on my pizza once. Never again. I will eat a bucket of shrimp though anyway you cook em. Like my fish broiled or fryed. The fresher the better!
Fowler coaxes a leadoff walk out of Doogie. Wong gets rung up on a curve…..an extremely animated strike 3 call by the homeplate ump! Who is that guy? He better be just as demonstrative when he rings up a Brewer…..or should I say if he rings up a Brewer? Goldy
I hear you, Wooster. I see those fish tacos advertised and it pretty much gets me sick to my tum tum. Oh no…..Goldy whiffs and Dexter is hung out to dry between 1st & 2nd….twin killing will put an abrupt and unsatisfactory end to the Redbird 1st.
Off to a slow start. That ump calling that balk last night was funny, he ran half way to first base yelling it out!
Gamel strikes out to open the Brewer 2nd. And Spangenberg follows suit by going down swinging. Now Wong breaks the wrong way on an Arcia grounder and that defensive hiccup will result in a base hit…..a bit of a gift from the Cardinal 2nd baseman….a rather rare gift from the defensively gifted Kolten Wong. Doogie Houser strikes out to retire the side.
Marcell….looks like he’s chomping at the bit in anticipation of some Houser offerings….lets see how he fares. Well, we’ll have to wait until his next at bat as he gets a free pass here to open the Cardinal 2nd. DeJong ….20 hits and 5 dingers vs the Crew here in 2010…..well he will not add to that total just yet as he goes down on strikes. Yadi grounds it in the hole in between short and 3rd, but Arcia gobbles it up and gets the force play at 2nd. Tommy Edman grounds out routinely to 2nd. Still a scoreless affair as we mozy along to the 3rd.
Tonight’s Cardinal Nation Trivia question:
What poster once said “No Moose is good Moose”?
Sweet! The Crew hit into a bit of an unorthodox twin killing, just as our Birds did in the 1st. Moving to the bottom of the 3rd
We have struggled in the last two games against Houser to score. Got 3 runs, one earned for a win. Then, got one run, earned, in a loss. Got five earned runs in four innings back in April.
Wainwright’s control and command of the game seem to improve when he gets a lead. That was an 8 pitch inning.
Did you feel it too? When the count was 2-2 after Goldy fouled one off hard to the right and the crowd’s buzz became louder I thought: he’s gonna hit the next pitch he swings at OUT. I actually got out the chair and kneel’d close to the TV before the wind-up.
Do you ever get hunch like that?
well a pretty good start. overall we aren’t stinging the ball but we have had some good things happen like walks and some timely hitting. good for goldy to get back into the home run groove. waino pitching great.
We are inching oh so close to “Calling Off the Dogs” territory …..and in this case it’s a beautiful thing.
