From DK / PPG
Pirates’ lineup: 1. Nyjer Morgan CF. 2. Freddy Sanchez 2B. 3. Ryan Doumit C. 4. Adam LaRoche 1B. 5. Jason Michaels RF. 6. Brandon Moss LF. 7. Andy LaRoche 3B. 8. Jack Wilson SS. 9. Davis.

Cardinals’ lineup: 1. Skip Schumaker CF. 2. Ryan Ludwick RF. 3. Albert Pujols 1B. 4. Rick Ankiel LF. 5. Troy Glaus 3B. 6. Felipe Lopez SS. 7. Yadier Molina C. 8. Wellemeyer P. 9. Adam Kennedy 2B.

Moss is apparently surprised as anyone to be in the lineup, but is ready.

Nate still sick, hence Nyjer.

argh

as much as michaels has come through in the clutch and pearce has not been hitting so well GIVE HIM AT BATS SO HE CAN FIND HIS STROKE

When in the last week has michaels come through in the clutch?

At least Pearce did on Monday. Pirates management obviously has no interest in Pearce playing every day.

by Thunder on Aug 20, 2008 7:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

I didn't mean recently on either account

I just think Pearce should be playing, not just for now but for the future. I don’t think you should evaluate him at a major league level based upon occasional play.

by poorboywilly on Aug 20, 2008 7:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

not that

you were disagreeing or anything

by poorboywilly on Aug 20, 2008 7:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

It seems

as if the team (or at least JR) has already given up on him or something.

The Utah Jazz. The Jazz... duh.

Molina out

with injured foot/ankle.

Probably injured pride

after blowing the game for the Cards last night :P

Good eye, Nyjer.

BTW

the Phils are playing the Nats right now, and the Nats make us look like baseball gods…

Well

decent first inning, I guess…

Welp...

by phillybucco on Aug 20, 2008 8:35 PM EDT reply actions  

yeah

I have no complaints regarding Davis so far (except bunt fielding!)

by Raise the Jolly Roger on Aug 20, 2008 8:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

Oh, FFS

Letting the damn pitcher score an RBI. Lame.

Welp...

by phillybucco on Aug 20, 2008 8:51 PM EDT reply actions  

agree

the sac fly i could live with. But that hhurts

by Raise the Jolly Roger on Aug 20, 2008 8:53 PM EDT up reply actions  

I guess they were playing him correctly

he just sneaked one out there. They were playing him in…

Welp...

I like

the fact that the offense went out and got those runs right back.

You might not like it

when we turn right back around and give them back :/

Oh, no...

I’ll like that just fine, thank you.

sheesh.

Then you might like what just happened...

giving the lead back to the Cards… I can’t keep up with what you like and don’t like…

This is why we can’t have nice things.

What did Loshe do to get suspended and fined?

The announcers said something happened, but didn’t specify…

Actually, I gotta go...

this game just got ugly anyway. Later!

Jason Davis

is coming back to earth a little bit now. I guess its too much for me to keep hoping that some other team has cast off the next Tom Seaver, but I keep hoping with Davis, Dumatrait, Yates, D. Bautista, etc that somehow that’ll be the case.

BTW, does anyone else think SCTV when they see the name “J. LaRue”? Polynesian Town? Dr. Tongue’s House of 3D Stewardesses? Street Beef?

Does anyone know

If Hansen is eligible to be sent to the Arizona Instructional League?

If not, what’s the plan with him? He’s gotta get some serious coaching. Spring training?

and go down 1st pitch swinging.

And Sanchez in 3...

ha ha ha…
1-2-3 inning in 1-2-3 pitches (6 total).

Kinda hilarious.
Mostly just depressing.
