PCA missed that Soriano high heat by a good foot. Yes I saw PCA’s 10th inning dinger last night, but there certainly are signs that he’s heading for a cooling off period. Nobody in this league has hot streaks as sizzling as PCA…..but no player has frigid streaks on par with him either.
I’d be looking east rather than west for a possible trade involving a St. Louis catcher. The ChiSox are in dire need of a receiver. I think Leonardo Abdiel Bernal would look mighty fanciful in a White Sox uni.
Herrera walks it off!!!
Gassy now 2-0 on the campaign. Bring Gassy in the game and good things magically happen.
Shucks! Gassy just threw flames on the fire and we’re down 2-0 in the 10th. We’re still just one swing away from tying this puppy though…..as long as they don’t tack on more tallies.
Just arrived home 15 minutes ago after a whirlwind trip to Cleveland. A walkoff win vs the cubbies would be a great welcome home present for the ol’ Pugarooski.
I don’t enjoy calling for people’s jobs to be eliminated, but Svanson needs to be sent packing up the Svanny River pronto. Do not…….and I repeat do not give up on Luis Enrique Gastelum yet. He’s just starting to get settled in……we’re all going to be very pleased with what Gassy brings to the table. And I love “The Ferminator” reference earlier in this thread by……I think by the esteemed LACardFan.
I think Burleson has evolved into a fine defensive 1st baseman. So much so that Goldy really hasn’t been missed. The age difference between Burly and Herrera is not sizeable. I would definitely not trade Burly to give way to Herrera manning 1st base.
Tough to say if PCA has another huge prolonged slump in him this year, but rest assured another one is most likely coming. He’s already experienced two in his short career. And these are not your garden variety slumps. They are so prolonged in length that “slump” really doesn’t adequately describe them. Now if he could just limit his yearly “super slump” to just a “slump”, his offensive numbers would literally be off the charts. Being a Cardinals fan, I hope this never occurs.
Hey Rat…….is there any possible rain storms in the greater Anaheim vicinity? We could use a big one.
As a kid I remember my mother serving up little round balls of raw steak at home for her Bridge groups. I think they were on toothpicks and then they would dip them into these different kinds of brown mustard. Sounds pretty raspy to me. Maybe they didn’t have many food illnesses like we have today?
There are exceptions to every rule, BicycleMike. My memory is a bit hazy, but I vaguely remember you ordering your fish raw that time we had lunch in Denver, Mike. Take a look at any sushi lover……tough as nails.
Nice selections, Blingster. I was toying around with my top 20 on Sunday night. My rough draft would totally….blow……your……mind. Thus, I’ll save myself the criticism and embarrassment until I have time to refine them.
I figured you for a bloody red rare type and not a well done, Rat. Studies have shown that for males, how one likes their meat is in direct correlation to how tough they are. The more rare you like it, the tougher person you are. Basically, you wouldn’t want to be side-by-side in a fox hole, with the enemy charging in your direction, with someone whom likes their meat well done. Like Rat, I too used to order my steaks well done. But then I decided to take action and do something about it. So I started pumping iron and jogging with a 25lb. plate in each arm at night in this open field near my house. Now I order my meat medium rare, with aspirations to one day go totally rare.
You’re absolutely correct, stlcard25. In an odd, but understanding sort of way, with the Cards not playing consistent winning baseball at this juncture, Bloom has to be exhaling a sigh of relief. But after this season it’s GAME ON…….he’ll never easily grasp losing again.
Just checked the score and am in a state of both disbelief and shock. Love our team and generally the direction it’s heading………but I’m officially calling it a wrap…….we’re stone cold sellers.
Since a few Diamondback pitchers have hit the showers, I now feel compelled to lather up too with this humongous advantage…….only their showers were forced, while mine will be by my own free will. Let’s keep the shutout intact gang!
Geesh Walker is big in stature…..and now in baseball efficiency too. This walk to him here in the 6th can be Exhibit A as to his transformation from a year ago.
Move over Tinkers to Evers to Chance, as here comes Winn to Wetherholt to Burly…….very very smooth twin killing here in the bottom of the 5th to discourage any Diamondbacks thinking of scoring.
Philip Abner……not related in any fashion whatsoever to Mr. Doubleday, is the new Diamondbacks pitcher.
“Blazing Saddles” Jordan rips a base hit to right that will send Burly safely home……and here comes The Ferminator prancing home too with the 7th Cardinal run.
Velasquez on looks alone should whack 50 dingers a year. But unfortunately for him looks don’t count……and this time he goes down looking to commence the Redbird 5th. Burly lines a base hit to center….his 3rd hit on the day…..let’s stay with the action shall we? Jameson still on the hill for AZ.
Winn lofts an extremely lazy can of corn to short left for the second out here in the 5th.
The Ferminator with the count full doesn’t bite on a low one…come on Noot.
Noot …….walks and now the bases are totally crammed with Cards and Jameson is getting yanked. We await the new hurler.
