• @miklasz Kind of looks like it, doesn’t it? #
• Ok, WW coming back out, but time for BP to be ready. TLR has a rep for wanting the W for his SP. One bat at a time now, Tony. #
• WRONG for me. Dennys comes in and let AW bat, ok, we are lacking offense. I can take that #
• Why can’t TLR let Dennys pitch to the next batter? Afterall, it is not the tying run. I never like this move very much. #
• @MatthewHLeach I know. numbers. Just let a guy pitch. He is a MLB’er. #
• @MatthewHLeach Point well made. #
• Anyone have this prediction in February? Barden, Thurston and Schumaker playing the infield for the Cards at the same time. #

• As was stated by Al and Dan, why does Greene play so far in the hole? His range doesn’t appear large. #
• The hitters laid down. KMac stumbled but with any batting sense it wouldn’t have come that. #

• @dgoold I believe TBA. Not sure BRyan is a full time player. #
• Yadi is just GOOD. #
• @fungoes I am not convince he will give this kind of production as a full timer… he does well as a spot player #
• Watching the East Coast Sports Network showed the replay of Sheffield not come close to catching a routine.. then he mashes the ball #
• @ithsportsradio Now that is a mighty good point. One of the few times #
• @ithsportsradio let me clarify… the one of the few times was meant ESPN not your good point. #
• The “chop” is more stupid than the “wave” IMO. #

The crowd knew. The announcers knew it. I think almost everyone knew. ALBERT was going to BOMB the first pitch from a Class A pitcher that happened to be in the major leagues first pitch for a grand slam. It rocketed out in a hurry!

Fox announcer Eric Karros, from my recollection, never pitched but has tons of advice. He really ragged on that 2-1 curve ball to Rasmus in the 7th inning. Get over it. Speaking of Rasmus, he is a terrific #2 hitter in front of Pujols. Patient. See alot of pitches, Can slash and run. Gives AP chances.

This could be loads of fun.

to talk about in the Game 1 of the Cubs series.

Wainwright looked sharp and pitched like an ace. He clearly enjoys the title of #1 pitcher on the team. He worked out of jams and hit his locations.

Joe Thurston getting the first RBI’s of the game. How many will admit they didn’t see Joe T getting this amount of time? He is doing quite well.

McClellan kept us in the game to get to the ninth and come away with the win.

The pickoff attempt in the ninth hitting the umpire. That may have altered the game if it had rolled into the bullpen.

ALBERT. The man. The Bat. The running game. The Machine. He can do it all.

Today: Boggs vs Marshall

We have a chance to win another one! Let’s take care of business.

• The Cards struggle getting 3rd outs of an inning. #
• Starters have to get further into the game than the starters have been doing. The Relievers can not survive this kind of season for long. #
• AL keeps telling us Ank’s problem is too many LH pitchers that he has seen. Come on, big boy, this is the MLB. #
• Right now, this is garbage pitching. We need an overhaul in the SP staff but that should have been addressed in the offseason. My frustation #
• New post! Let’s see how good we really are!: Home game. Both pitchers are 1-1.

• @MatthewHLeach i agree about the multi inning reliever. Seems to just make sense many times. TLR loves the one batter pitcher too much IMO. #
• @MatthewHLeach @dgoold Has anyone ever asked Dennys where the “S” came from in his name? It is unique. Named after the restaurant? #
• Ok, it ended well for the good guys. Glad TLR had more patience w/Welle than I did. He needed him to gut it out. Franklin sharp. #
• @Todalion Way to hang in there and get a hit to start a rally. Let’s keep it going. #
• This is great weather. Baseball was meant to be played in this! #stlcardinals #

Todd Wellemeyer hung tough and showed some moxie. Maybe not his best stuff but he kept it close and also got t\a key hit to begin a rally that eventually propelled the Cards to victory.

Ankiel got his mojo going with several hits and RBI’s to make most of the fan base feel a bit better about what is in store for awhile.

Yadi. What is there to say? He may be the star. Not just last night but so far this season. He got hits, he picked off a runner and he made a spectacular leg block of the plate. HE made Dan McLaughlin cream his pants. Dan raved and gushed for a long while over that.

Bullpen was very decent and congratulations to Jason Motte on his first career major league victory.

Let’s get another win tonight!

Home game. Both pitchers are 1-1.

Perez stats on left and Wellemeyer on the right (2009)

New York (6-6) vs St. Louis (8-5)

Oliver Perez (1-1, 7.84 ERA) looks to extend the Mets’ run of success in St. Louis as he makes his first start against the Cardinals since June 26, 2007. Perez allowed two runs in 6 1-3 innings of a 5-3, 11-inning win in that game

Wellemeyer is looking to win his second straight start after allowing one run over seven innings of a 2-1 victory at Arizona on Monday. That was a vast improvement from his performance April 8, when he gave up five runs and 12 hits over five innings of a 7-4 loss to Pittsburgh.

Tonight’s lineup:

Ryan

Ankiel

Pujols

Ludwick

Molina

Duncan

Greene

Thurston

Wellemeyer
