There's no way we resign Penny, IMO. It just doesn't fit the scheme of things in St. Louis, especially if Garcia proves to be a reliable option through the course of the year. With the way he's progressing, Miller will be ready for the rotation in 2012, if not next year. We don't have the money to spend on another top free agent starter (which is what he'll be if he even comes close to duplicating what he's doing now) with #5 coming up for a payday.

I just found out that we have 3 top 50 picks in this years draft and 6 picks in the top 85.

Great throw by the rookie Jay to gun down a runner at home and end the inning.

Penny and Garcia may be the Cards key to a huge year. If they keep pitching like they are Cards could win the division by 15 games. ( I know it's 1 month so far)
Problem is that could be too early. |

Apparently there's been reports of a tornado on the ground in south metro St. Louis. Scary situation with a stadium full of people nearby.

You dirty redbirds might pick up a cheap win tonight.
If the game gets called, those 2 runs scored in the 6th get wiped off the board and St. Louis wins in 5.

I don't know, Larussa is pretty good about keeping them focused during the regular season. His teams seem to tighten up in the playoffs. I think that one of the reasons for the post season success in 2006 was that no one thought they were going to do anything in the playoffs but get their butts kicked. No pressure.

We live about 20 minutes south of the ballpark, and were having dinner in Clayton, a midtown area. We just got home to find trees down and shit everywhere. Guessing the wind had to be 80+ or higher - and from what I heard, the worst went just south of us. |

Frankly I was amazed they waited as long as they did to call it. Raining like hell, thunder and lightning, what the hell were they thinking?

God what an abortion of a ****ing game. The umpires should have postponed the game before making Penny pitch in a monsoon, but beyond that, what an epic choke job by pretty much everybody. How many runners did we strand? ****.

yeah, that sucked. It was obvious that he was having trouble getting a good grip on the baseball. Baseball isn't football. QB's grow up learning how to throw a slick ball, baseball players don't. And baseball pitchers don't even use all their fingers to grip the ball, helll Waino holds his curveball with one finger and a thumb. Then there is the fairness part of it. Both QB's have to throw in the same enviornment. The Cincy pitcher at the bottom of the 6th didn't throw in that monsoon and the Cincy pitcher at the bottom of the 7th didn't either.

Well, I guess you can't argue with a 6 out of 7 homestand. Four game series coming up in Philadelphia, excellent chance to see where we stand against another top team.
