Cardinals @ Royals Series Thread

Tuesday: Brad Thompson vs. Brian Bannister

Wednesday: Adam Wainwright vs. Odalis Perez

Thursday: Kip Wells vs. Scott Elarton


So far in June we have 2 reborn hitters in Encarnacion (1.197 OPS) and Eckstein (1.018 OPS) and the mainstay in Pujols (1.270 OPS) hitting for us, it's just too bad no one else is. We should have the pitching advantage in all 3 games, but we shall see. Also if we don't light up Elarton we suck, as he sucks.

LOL, we are getting blown out by the stinkin' Royals.

Man, we should just stop scheduling American League teams. Get some Mexican League teams in there instead. Maybe we'd break .250 playing the Mexican League.

Thompson should be out of the rotation now, time to call Reyes back up.

Today we try to win the series from Ciudad de Kansas.

Gotta convince ourselves they're a Mexican League team. With Wells as our starter, it's our only hope.

[bigboy1234]

Quite the outing by Mr. Wells. Flores and Jimenez didn't help out things either. I have to think Jimenez's time with us has to be coming to an end, his ERA is quite the high. And like I said Elarton sucks, but hey so does our pitching. I'm really not sure who's worse Thompson or Wells, I think, I think Wells is a little better, but damn do they both suck.

Wells <<<<<<< Thompson <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Anthony Reyes

Jimenez out, Percival in. Sometime in the next week.

[bigboy1234]

Oh, apparently you don't know about Percival's first outing that was on Wednesday night. He was lucky to only allow one run. I definitely don't think Percival is anything, but god do I hope not pitching for almost 2 years helped his arm, and the other nights outings was just, well something, I dont know.

Percival Wednesday Night: .2 IP, 1 R, 1 H, 3 BB

Oh, apparently you don't know about Percival's first outing that was on Wednesday night.

I know about it. I'll see you Percival's crap outing, and raise you Juan Encarnacion's .150 BA while he was at Springfield earlier this season.

They didn't sign Percival to play for the Memphis Redbirds. After a few more appearances, they will bring him up to see if he's got anything left and can help the Cardinals. Maybe it will be two weeks instead of one, but no matter what he does in Memphis, he'll be in St. Louis soon unless he decides he is done and walks away.

Thanks, I used mine up last night.

Mind you, I'm not predicting that Percival is going to be any good when we bring him up. I'm just predicting that we are going to bring him up.
