YES... now get Wilson out of there...

All in all a decent outing...


Decent ain't going to cut it no more....

Glad he got out of that... everybody need to wake up now, it's do or die time...

Barely got by. CJ is done, and that look on Nolan's face shows that he's seen enough out of him

I think the thing that has bothered me most in this series is that Cardinal pitchers serve up pitches on a plate, and Ranger hitters let them go by, then swing at crap...

every single at bat kinsler just looks at one right down the middle.


See for Kinsler it's not the taking until the pitcher throws a first strike that bothers me.

It's the whole twitching and check swinging on the second strike that's killing me. It's like what is he doing out there?

In the mean time C.J. starts out almost every hitter with a ball.

That's such a huge disadvantage. He's always playing catch-up and it just drives up his pitch counts and gets him into crappy situations.

On the other side, you watch Carpenter pitching with the wind at his back by just throwing a strike to start.

I don't get Washington's love affair with Feldman. I realize Ogando has been bad in the W.S., but man you have a great bullpen.... stop going to a long reliever. He might get out of this (2 outs now), but I still don't like it.

Feldman's getting it up in the zone, needs to get it down.

The Cardinals are wasting opportunity after opportunity. I hope it comes back to haunt them.

we are... and they are too... how long can they keep this game at just 2-1 before someone gets a key double? The law of averages are going to start swaying soon for both teams.

We need to score pretty soon, you just know someone is going to get a good pitch to hit before long..

And we need to stop letting them get runners in scoring position every inning.

both of these situations are just asking to be exploited soon...

Hamilton just isn't well. When he's healthy some of these weak swings are homeruns.

swinging at balls, watching strikes. Big strike zone, inconsistent strike zone. Don't think we have had the lead off guy on all game long.
