Saving him for a lead apparently. If Lidge goes past the 9th and its still tied... then guess what. You guys start to second guess him again.

No lidge could have pitched two innings..that was stupid,it was the heart of the Cards order.

you got clemens and oswalt coming up at home. the astros can win just as quickly as the cards are on the brink of doing.

Time for a thrilling come from behind from the Killer B's and 3 strike out inning from Lights Out Lidge to break the Cards spirit with Roger and Roy looming.

GET IT DONE BOYS!

GO STROS!

i honestly don't think anyone can stop the cards bats. not houston, the yanks, or sox. they're just too good, top to bottom.

doesn't mean i think they're a lock to win it all, since they can be outhit with their less than perfect starters. but after these first 6 games...i gotta say they're gonna win it all.

so many things stand out about the way the astros have been playing ball against the cards. swinging at the first pitch with runners on, mistakes with fielding, bullpen just giving the fucking game away.

I don't blame this loss on Garner at all.

The Astros couldn't play small ball and it bit them in the ass. When you have a guy on second with no outs he needs to score, there is no doubt about it.

All we had to do is make 1 play in that game... ONE PLAY. The failed double play ball. They would have score NOTHING in that inning. NOTHING. We win 4-2.

Yup yup...though you can't really blame Kent, the fucker's playing with 1 good ankle...he made that awesome play in game 5 of the NLDS..

#1- WHY NOT BRING IN LIDGE??
#2- Oswalt got up TWICE in the BP, obviously there was some chance to bring him in... If Lidge goes 2+ then you could bring in Oswalt if you had to
#3- So many wasted opportunities w/ runners on.
#4- WHY NOT BRING IN LIDGE??
#5- WHY NOT BRING IN LIDGE??
#6- WHY NOT BRING IN LIDGE??

Not to sound like a bitter fan but....isn't Julian Tavarez the ugliest motherfucker you've ever seen?

It truly offsets the Super Hero heart of the order they have. Rolen, Edmonds, Pujols

Don't blame Garner.

Yeah, we did a horrible job batting with RISP. At one point I think we had guys on 1st and 2nd...no outs. Ground out moved the runners over...then 2 straight pop ups. We're all trying for the home run ball right now. We need to get some bunts down and crap. We DEFINATELY have to play small ball if we can't get anything going saturday. Clemens will more than likely keep the Cards at bay...it's up to the bats to get some runs across on Jeff Suppan.

Priorities for the offseason:

* GET A BULLPEN. Keep: Lidge, Qualls, Harville/Gallo[they're young and have talent...just need to learn how to pitch and also mature], Wheeler, Munro. The two old guys [Springer/Miceli] need to go. Either trade or pick up somebody from FA...Wagner's a FA this season ;) lol but seriously, we need some GOOD, RELIABLE arms to go to. Look at the Cards bullpen...Send Duckworth/Redding/Hernandez back to the minors for ALOT of work.

* SIGN BELTRAN. MCLANE, LISTEN TO ME. YOU BETTER FUCKING SIGN BELTRAN. YOU SEE WHAT HE BRINGS TO THIS TEAM?!?

* GET ROGER BACK. you know he'll want to give it another go at a WS with Andy healthy.

The rotation, if healthy, should be SOLID.

The offense should be solid as well, with Lamb, Lane, Viz, Burke and Bruntlett as the key guys on the bench. Evvy will bring back some more speed and better range at SS...

I'm not so sure about Kent. He's a warrior, but he's getting old and has bad range at 2B. We need to give Burke a look...but Kent is a big part of the offense.

Don't blame Garner.

Ensberg? he had the HR and drove in Berk to tie it. I'd say he had a good game.

No, we didn't execute.

That doesn't give Garner the excuse to blow it with Miceli.

Ensberg did have a good day. I say a huge turning point was Brunlett's awful bunt. If he gets that down we have Biggio up with men on Second and Third.

from page 2:

Here's an IM exchange Eric and I had as the fifth inning was unfolding:

davidschoenfield: I'm going on the record with this now: Don't fool around, Munro should not face Walker with a runner(s) on. Lefties tattooed Munro to a .337/.389/.587 tune this year.
ericneel: was it walker who hit the home run?
ericneel: i missed it.
davidschoenfield: you didn't, and neither did walker

ericneel: gotta get him out of there now, my dollar be damned

ericneel: ohmygod ... that was a terrifying shot from rolen
davidschoenfield: look, you've got the WORST starting pitcher to start a playoff game in the last decade. he's horrible, he's been horrible for two months. you're up 3-0, fifth inning, runner on, meat of the order up. GET HIM OUT. Why play with fire? Now, I know the problem -- you don't really have any relievers to go to. Well, shoot, bring in Lidge ...

:lol :lol

I have to agree with this. Garner needs to start using Lidge earlier (perhaps even as a setup man role to Wheeler since he's done great so far). If we can have lidge in the middle to late innings to hold the Cards down while our bats go to work grabbing a lead, then I think we'd have a better chance. Or our starters go 7 innings and pitch lidge 2 innings
 

Miguel

Member
Yeah, he did.

He's damned if he does, and damned if he don't. There's always something to complain about after a loss.

Lidge for 3 innings...I'm not so sure about. Lidge for 2 innings though...may not be too bad of an idea. He's done it a few times this season, and he had an off day today. But, whatever, it's in the past. Time for Rocket and Tha Wiz to go out and tie this bitch up.


Joe: Who's pitching against Brandon Argyle? Kelvin Bronson?
 
MAHOW MAHOW! Norman is gonna be on Jimmy Kimmel tonight! They just mentioned him on PTI. But why the fuck isn't he in Boston? No wonder the Sox can't win, they lost their mojo.
