That's a shame.

[rok]

I sure didn't see that coming.

[veryzer]

it is a shame. i was looking forward to beating the cardinals at full strength.

[Jody]

I don't care how we beat them as long as we beat them.

[Brock]

Tim Wakefield has a no-hitter through 6 innings.

I truly hope we'll get that opportunity. If we field the same or a similar lineup as today's, we're in big trouble.

If Milton can suit up for a couple of games this weekend, I really wanna believe that he'll run wild on Cardinal pitching.

[Fella]

Carpenter out 6-8 weeks with a torn oblique.

But far more successful.

Anyone see the curveball Joba threw Victor Martinez? He swung and missed and the damn ball almost went between his legs, it ended up hitting him in the back foot.

I was checking out GatewayRedbirds.com and came across this gold nugget.

You know, comments like this remind me how unreal and pressure filled it must be to be Albert Pujols. It's part of the deal, I definitely get that, but man oh man, he gets called out and said to have "bailed" on the team on a day when he drove in a run, reached base twice, made a great read on a ball to go first to third, and scores a run and had an on base percentage of .400. This all just makes his exploits even more amazing to me...<b>he also takes it all in stride, and from most accounts, is a great person as well as player.</b> Amazing I tell you. It is my mission to never take one second of Albert Pujols for granted in all the years of my fandom.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Really, could they suck Pujols's dick more?

Zack Greinke just threw a complete game shutout at Texas - a pretty decent hitting team. Greinke is now 3-0 w/a .000 ERA and has only allowed 16 hits over the 3 starts. 34 consecutive scoreless innings for Greinke. Wow.

We should have got him when those rumours went around a year or two ago. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif[/img]

Holy Toledo, I didn't realize he was throwing <i>that</i> well. Sure would like it if the Royals could surprise everyone, and win that division.
