If waino is just now getting back to normal, motte's not going to be back to full speed next year. Wasn't it motte that wanted to postpone?

Nice first inning for the rookie.

He won't look as impressive in the box score as he was in that inning. He had Betancourt absolutely fooled on that hook and he just stuck the bat out and got lucky. Aoki shook his head after one of the fastballs.

Absolutely amazing arm. What makes it all the better: we stole him out from under the Red Sox.

Hell of an inning for Man Ass.

Yet strange at the same time. Looked like a nuckle baller but isn't.

God knows we were due for some good news in the pitching department. :thumb:

With Salas warming up, I'd sure like an extra insurance run or four here. :grr:

A 1-2-3 inning for Salas! :eek:

It must be snowing in hell. :D

Miller 4-2

Lohse 2-1

I think we did OK.

It's a lot more than that. We saved 40 million in payroll and get the Brewers' first rounder this year.

And picked up a 1st rounder.:thumb:

I'll say it again. I absolutely love watching Miller pitch.

Just saw the highlight package. That thing might have gone 480 last night had the scoreboard not gotten in the way.

That ball was destroyed.

These are great days to be a Cardinal fan, my friends. We are jolly green giants walking the Earth, with guns! Well, at least our pitchers have guns.

Carpenter to the bullpen?
