lose, what good does it do our team? But, on the other hand, since we won it
feels great!'

This was about as bad of a game as I've seen. Everything was just going wrong. There were errors and even a balk that drove in a run. We beat ourselves today.

WEB GEMS- Top 8th: Yadier Molina blocked the plate, saving a run!
 
At Busch Stadium, the St. Louis faithful were treated to an intriguing
pitcher's duel.  Rich Harden(1-1) finally bested his St. Louis counterpart,
Joel Pineiro(1-1), by the score of 4 to 0.
 
Chicago (NL) took the lead off Pineiro in the first inning as they scored 2
runs on 1 base hits.  That early scoring was all that Harden needed.  Chicago
(NL) had 10 hits for the night while St. Louis had 7.  
 
Pineiro was the loser.  He allowed 6 hits and 1 walk in 7 innings.  With this
win, Chicago (NL) has a 6-10 record.  They have been 4-6 lately.  With this
loss, St. Louis has a 6-4 record of late, 12-6 overall.

This one was all Carpenter. He pitched a gem! The offense still has me a little concerned. We had some opportunities, but were unable to deliver. In fact, we seem to have a hard time scoring runs except when an HR is involved. Many of our outs are long fly balls. We've got too many players swinging for the fences with every at bat when a base hit would be more useful. Too bad I can't instruct some of these players the way that Whitey coached Ozzie. Whitey told Ozzie that for every ball hit in the air, Ozzie owed him $$. For every ground ball, he owed Ozzie $$. After about a month, Whitey called off the agreement because he owed Ozzie too much $$.

WEB GEMS- Top 7th: Brendan Ryan robbed David Wright of a base hit.
 
Chris Carpenter pitched 9 strong innings at Busch Stadium where the St. Louis
Cardinals beat the New York (NL) Mets by the score of 1 to 0.
 
Carpenter(2-0) pitched one of his finer games as he simply was too much for
the New York (NL) batters.  He allowed just 4 hits and no walks in 9 innings
improving his ERA from 2.14 to 1.50.  New York (NL) made it exciting in the
9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across.  
 
Tim Redding(1-2) suffered the loss.  'We didn't have a whole lot of chances
today,' Jerry Manuel said.  'Carpenter just was too much for our guys.'

22 April 2009

For most of the game, the offense was just anemic. We couldn't get anything going. Then, for a brief inning (the 6th), the Cardinals showed up just enough to win the game. Miller so intimidated the Mets' manager that he nearly replaced everyone on the field with substitutions.

The St. Louis Cardinals nipped the New York (NL) Mets 3 to 2 at Busch Stadium
in a hard fought contest.
 
St. Louis did all of it's offensive work in the 6th inning when they scored 3
runs on 3 hits.  The big moment was provided by Yadier Molina who brought the
crowd to their feet when he stroked a single scoring two baserunners.  St.
Louis had only 6 hits for the night.  
 
Adam Wainwright(3-0) went 6 innings allowing 2 runs for the victory.
Wainwright got help from Mitchell Boggs who earned his 1st save.  The loss
was charged to Mike Pelfrey(2-1).  
 
The St. Louis ballclub's record now stands at 11-5.  With this loss, New York
(NL) has a 6-4 record of late, 8-6 overall.

Anemic offense and poor starting pitching nearly always results in a loss. I had to double check that I was playing the Cards and not the Royals!

Smoltz pitched a gem...only to have the bullpen completely blow it!!!! Derosa had a nice game but the offense was not enough to make up for pitchers who walk in runs. It's a good thing that these sorts of games are not the norm.

from 5.06 to 3.68.  Chicago (NL) banged out 9 hits on the night.
