Damn, I'm dragging at work today, but at least not pissed off; if I'd stayed up until 1:00am and they'd lost, I might have taken the day off.

He's much slower than he looks (short legs and a dumpy ass will do that to you), but he's a very savvy baserunner. Without the hook slide there, he was dead to rights.

I can't believe they won last night, I had thrown in the towel with the way they've been playing.

Here's something I'd like to know: how many runs/inning does the average team score in extras? Compare that to the average # of runs/inning they score in innings 1-9.
From there, I'd love to see the explanations given for the discrepancy. The Cardinals, for example, have had an absolutely atrocious offense in extras for years, and I don't think all of it can be pinned solely upon having bench players hit in the pitcher's spot or another place in the lineup. There has to be a reason why they are so abjectly pathetic, especially given that they are usually facing far worse pitchers in extras (Jeanmar Gomez) than in innings 1-9.

For me, it just feels good to get off the 0-41 snide.

The Cardinals score 4.96 runs/game in 118 games 1049 innings.
Their offense plays 8.89 innings/game and they average .55 runs/inning. They've played 22 extra innings this year, scoring nine runs. Seven of those runs came in one inning. They average .40 runs/inning in extras, even with a seven run inning. If you take one swing away, Holliday's slam against Partch, they will have scored five runs in 22 innings, averaging .228 runs/inning.

@dgoold: #Cardinals prospect Oscar Taveras will have season-ending surgical procedure on foot next week to address high ankle sprain. #stlcards

Reminds me of 2003: everything that can go wrong, is. Well, at least Liriano won't no-hit them tonight, it'll just be a shutout.
