18 April 2009




We knocked the starting pitcher out in the first inning!!! Of course when Carpenter gave up 2 HRs, I started to get a little worried. Still, he hung on and the 5 runs in the first were more than enough to win (but Pujols knocked in a couple of security runs with his HR).

Whew! This was a close one. Pineiro pitched a gem, and I was tempted to let him finish the game. Instead, I brought in Franklin, who blew the save. The offense was fairly anemic, but Derosa came through with an off-the-bench HR, just when we needed it. McClellan got into a little bit of trouble but was able to finish the game.

This one went into extra innings. My bullpen was pretty tired, but I didn't want to bring in Franklin before it was a save situation. Thompson rose to the challenge and gave a couple of nice innings.

This was a nice after yesterday's game. Boggs pitched a good game, and only gave up runs after he got fatigued. The offense was on target and firing on all cylinders. All-in-all, it was what we have come to expect from the Cardinals.

A tough loss. Lohse gave up 6 earned runs and the offense never really came together. We were just out-played from the start.

Parra enjoyed a fine evening at the plate.  He bombed a two-run dinger in the
1st inning, cleared the fences for a two-run home run in the 2nd inning and
laced a single in the 4th inning.  St. Louis had a chance to come back in the
9th but they came up short.  
 
The win went to Max Scherzer(1-0) who allowed 3 runs in 8 and 2/3 innings.
Chad Qualls gained credit for his 1st save.  Kyle Lohse(0-2) ended up with
the loss.  He served up 3 gopher balls in 4 innings.  
 
'Some losses are harder to take than others' Tony LaRussa lamented after the
game.  'This was one of them.'

This is more like what I expected. Pitching held up and the offense took the game. Derosa had a pitch-hit homerun!

Dramatic finish! I must say that the starting pitching has been doing well. The relievers (except for Wellemeyer) have also been doing well. Offense has been doing okay. We get a lot of hits, but we aren't yet converting them into runs. BTW, I checked on Pujols. I guess he did hit into a lot of DPs last year (23).

Skip Schumaker had 2 base hits as the St. Louis Cardinals won in dramatic
fashion over the Houston Astros by a score of 4 to 3 at Busch Stadium.
 
St. Louis scored the decisive runs in a big bottom of the 9th inning with 2
runs using 3 hits.  David Freese started the inning off right when he lined a
base-hit.  Schumaker stepped up to the plate and he doubled.  Colby Rasmus
then banged out a single.  Rasmus took second on the throw.  Despite losing,
Houston out-hit St. Louis 13 to 10.  
 
The victory went to Kyle McClellan(2-0) who went 2 innings, allowing no runs.
Jose Valverde(1-1) was tagged with the loss in relief.  
 
'What a game!,' McClellan said afterward.  'When we won it I almost couldn't
believe it!'

Just couldn't get anything going. Also, Pujols seems to be hitting into a lot of DPs. I'm not sure that that is statistically accurate.

WEB GEMS- Top 2nd: Yadier Molina blocked the plate, saving a run!
 
In a game for the baseball purist, Charlie Morton(1-0) and Kyle Lohse(0-1)
squared off in a tense pitching duel, Pittsburgh Pirates finally emerged
victorious over St. Louis Cardinals, 2 to 1.
 
Pittsburgh came up with 2 runs in the top of the 2nd inning with the help of 4
hits.  Lastings Milledge led off and he doubled.  After an out was recorded,
Andy Laroche* stepped in and he doubled.  Ronny Cedeno then delivered a
single.  Morton stepped in and he stroked a single.  Andrew McCutchen came to
the plate and drew a walk to load the bases.  The early run support proved
sufficient for Morton and Pittsburgh.  That was all the run support Morton
required.  After the 2nd inning, neither team was able to score.  
 
Morton was helped out by Matt Capps who recorded his 1st save.

This was an exciting game. We came back to tie it, but lost in extra innings. My bullpin was fatigued after the previous 2 games, so I stayed with Wellemeyer longer than I wanted...and paid for it.

Strat




I love playing Strat-o-matic. Back in the late '90s-early 2000s, I used to play quite a bit. Then I fell out of the game. For my birthday, Merri-Ann bought me the game again. I just found a "blog" feature. I thought I'd try it out and see what it posts.

In a dramatic ending, the St. Louis Cardinals staged a comeback win over the
Pittsburgh Pirates by the count of 6 to 5.
 
St. Louis won the game with a rally in the bottom of the 9th inning with 3
runs using 2 hits.  Skip Schumaker started the scoring when he smashed a
bases-empty 'big-fly'.  Colby Rasmus got his chance to keep things going, but
he went down on strikes bringing home one more runner.  Albert Pujols then
drew a walk scoring the final run of the inning.  Both teams finished the
game with 11 hits.  
 
The win went to Kyle McClellan(1-0) who allowed no runs in 1 inning. The
losing pitcher was Matt Capps(0-1) in relief.  He surrendered 3 runs and 2
hits in 2/3 of an inning.  
 
'We just wouldn't give up,' Brendan Ryan said. 'Much of the credit goes to our
fans - they were with us the whole way.'
