vs.
Monday: Rockies 3, Cardinals 2
Tuesday, 7:10 p.m.: Taylor Buchholz [1-1, 8.04] vs. Brad Thompson [1-0, 4.67]
Wednesday, 12:10 p.m.: Jason Hirsh [2-2, 3.82] vs. Adam Wainwright [5.60]
There can't be too many NL starters with ERAs worse than Buchholz's 8.04, but I'm sure that the Cardinals will help him improve it.
Post-Dispatch sportswriter Derrick Goold today has the perfect one-liner for this year's team: "These Birds don't have a bat to perch on."
We've played 30 games now, and we have FOURTEEN losses in which we scored two runs or fewer.
We have not scored more than three runs in a game yet this month.
In the last 49 innings, we have scored runs in three of them.
Anthony Reyes has now made six starts, and in those six games the Cardinals have scored a sum total of eight runs.
It just goes on and on. Has there ever been a worse-hitting Cardinals team? I mean, since the days when they just took a hunk of cotton and put a cover on it to make a baseball?
Someone should research this. I'd do it myself, but it might make me throw up. All I know is that this is the most abysmal Cardinals offense I've ever seen.
And he can't get any help. He has 28 Ks in 34 IP and has a WHIP of 1.12, that ERA of 5.03 is crap it should be about 3.8. Not that it matters because like mizzou already said the Cardinals suck at hitting.
