GDT 8/4/09-Cardinals (Piñeiro) at Mets (Santana) 6:10 CDT

i wonder if our lineup from 4 weeks ago would be doing anything against santana....

[Cronos]

Certainly didn't look good, down 3-1 to Santana.

This team looks lost sometimes, but they don't quit, I'll say that.

I'm pleasantly surprised they came back to take the lead. Give them all credit.

[TAZ]

Santana when he's on can touch 95. His fastball is definitely not good tonight. No way Ankiel hits that ball at his eyes and some of the other balls put in play if it is.

Still isn't bad considering his change, but 15 mph difference makes you a shut-down guy, 10 mph makes you a mid-level big-league pitcher...







I bet the fb still looks like 100 with a change that good.

[Socnorb11]

Hopefully Pineiro can ring up about 10 groundouts in a row now........

[st.lewis11]

Bear down Joel.

[st.lewis11]

Gee whiz, Ankiel.

[clevername]

nice work, Rick.

[Cronos]

Nice catch Rick.

I doubt they come back again.

Joel was due a stinker eventually, I guess.

[clevername]

I understand he's worried about that wall again, but if that's going to limit him out there let Rasmus play full time.

And Joel is blowing up.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Dick Ankle is now afraid of walls. Can't blame him but he should have had that ball. oops - another gapper to the same place.
