Well...

change, I guess.
Nate lead-offs, but now Freddy is 3rd.
And Jason-ity & X-Man now have a disappointing group of hitters behind them.

Ummm...Utes

when HAVEN’T Jason and X-man had a disappointing group of hitters behind them this year?

by Thunder on May 31, 2008 6:57 PM EDT up reply actions  

Normally,

Black Hole is between them.
So while X-Man is used to it, Jason-ity knows that even if the next guy (Black Hole) gets out, he still has a chance to get home (X-Man’s at bat).
Now, if X-Man is retired, Jason-ity is more or less stuck.

Good news. I think.
Doumit appears to be inching closer to returning to the lineup as his rehabilitation will accelerate this weekend. Yesterday, he worked on blocking drills and today he is expected to do some more catching and throwing the ball to bases.

Wow

So with the Pens at intermission, I flipped to the box score to see what the hell is going on out there…am I REALLY seeing a Luis Rivas grand slam and homers from Ronny Ballgame and Freddy One-Shoulder???

unfortunately for the Cards fans…they have to sit through 3 more innings of this…because most of the rain has slid by the ballpark…and the rain will completely stop shortly.

Here's the answer according to MLB.com

Showing notable efficiency, Maholm exited after 6 2/3 innings and 87 pitches. After throwing a season-high 121 pitches his last time out, Russell had planned to pull Maholm once the left-hander reached the mid-80 mark on Saturday
