Spreading The Lead Like Spreading The Butter
I woke up this morning with two things in my mind, I hope we have enough coffee to wake up, and HOLY CRAP! WE ARE ONLY ONE GAME AHEAD OF MILWAUKEE! The baseball Gods were smiling today on the Cards as our schedule was set to face off against the Brewers tonight. Now in his fifth season with the Cards, Adam Wainwright (8-5, E.R.A. 3.32) pitched a hell of a game controlling the mound for 8 1/3 innings keeping the Brewers down to seven scoreless hits. The five zero victory brings the Redbirds to 46-39 leading the National League Central by two games to the Brewers and three games to the Cubs.
The Cards went to work early in the first inning, Colby Rasmus (.288) singled and was followed by Pujols (.336) who took four balls for a walk. Ryan Ludwick (.237) set the tone in the game homerin’ at his first at bat. Adam Wainwright’s performance was key in the victory.
Tonight we face the Brewers again at 7:05 pm CT with Todd Wellemeyer (7-7 E.R.A. 5.44) on the mound against Jeff Suppan (5-6 E.R.A. 4.60). Wellemeyer went 7 1/3 innings in a victory against the Giants his last start. Lets go for the second win of the series and move our lead to three games.
With these Cards, I’ll go all in.
Is It Too Early To Say Curse?
IS IT TOO EARLY TO SCREAM CURSE?
First of all, I apologize, to the only two people that I know that follow my blog, a friend of mine who I put the blog as her homepage and me. I apologize. I have not been able to write a lot about the Cardinals as I have planned, my time has been spent between swimming and studying for finals week. I’ve been seeing the latest games in my computer in a small booth in the library, being shushed by the ‘serious’ studying people of this educational institution.
We were 17-7 going into saturdays heart break against the Nationals. Piñeiro’s first loss of the season. Then 17-8 going into mondays heart break against the Phillies, Lohse’s first loss of the season. Then we were 17-9 going into last nights heart break against the Phillies, Wainwright’s first loss of the season.
Now, as I was saying before, IS IT TOO EARLY TO SCREAM CURSE?! Being catholic, I can’t believe in curses, but baseball is its world of its own. Are all our starting pitchers that had not lost, are loosing now? Please lord, what is going on? If it turns out that my curse of the loosing pitchers is true, then we have bad news for todays game…
Cardinals fans, welcome Mitchell Boggs (1-0 E.R.A. 3.29) to the mound. The second season sensation from Georgia will hopefully be releasing the heat against Pirate Zach Duke (3-2 E.R.A. 2.21). So far this season, the Cards are 2-2 against the Pirates (12-14). We need to make something happen tonight, or I’m afraid we could have a curse of our on the Redbirds. Lets see what happens in todays game against the Pittsburgh, but you already know that,
With these Cards, I’ll go all in.
