Cards Fan Union -- A Cardinal Fans Blog
"Baseball is a leisurely game that demands blinding speed, and the only one in which the defense has the ball. It follows the seasons, beginning each year with the fond expectancy of springtime and ending with the hard facts of autumn . . . ...It is a haunted game in which every player is measured against the ghosts of all who have gone before. Most of all it is about time and timelessness, speed and grace, failure and loss, imperishable hope--and coming home." Unknown-in K Burns Baseball

I've been a Cards/MLB fan all of my life. I've grown more and more frustrated with the state of MLB. The way Bud Selig is contiually blind-sided by problems obvious to everyone else---steroids, tied All-Star Games, noon playoff games, roof issues. Does he anticipate anything? Does he even look both ways before crossing the street? Here, we give baseball and the Cards the respect they deserve. With or without Bud.

How long can Suppan keep this going?
So what happens if no one scores, and the rain ends this one?
I have to say, since I'm now determined that God hates us, I'm a lot more relaxed watching this.
Is Spezio our man tonight?
Nope. And Albert bats for perhaps the last time this season.
We're going to see Juan swing at some pitches in this at bat.
Albert may steal.
So Taguchi, the secret weapon, is in!! Remain calm, all is well.
Suppan can't go much longer. Well over 100 pitches. Hey Tony, get him some help!
Flores for Suppan to face Delgado. Will the slider bite in the rain, or just spin?
Did Heilman actually throw any strikes to Encarnacion?
Why would Encarnacion get any strikes?
Tough pitching by the Cards tonight. Have to hand it to the staff...
I swear that slider was a strike to edmonds.
YES
DELGADO WENT
That's what I'm talking about
Flores v Wright. 2-0. Oops 2-1. 3-1. Bad feeling about this.
Now how about a strike’em out’throw’em out dp.
Another K. What in the heck is going on here?
Whoa!! Pretty slider by Flores. I guess the answer is 'bite', not spin.
FAIR BALL
The Mets are saying, "two hits, only two $^@$^amn hits?
You can't say &%%&*$*damn on the air.
Is this gonna be Jimmy Edmonds Last At Bat as a Bird?
Somebody is going to lose one, even into this rain. Just a matter of whether it's going to be a Mutt or a Bird. Not enough hard hit balls in this game.
OK, which catch was better. Edmonds in 2004 or Chavez in 2006?
Change is a nice first pitch to him.
No way he has two homers in him in one night.
You know, the only fitting ending to this series, a Homer by Yadier.
Heilman is nasty.
I guess they really do need to keep showing the replay of 'THE CATCH'. Maybe I'll just go out in the back yard and hit myself in the head with a stick.
Rolen finally kept one fair.
And Rolen gets' a hit
So Yadier bats "one spot higher." And of course he hits a homer.
Reference your 10:24 comment. Ode to the great Swami Glenn!!
Oh my
OK. We now find out if Wainwright can pitch in the rain. Let's keep Looper loose. My God, what am I saying!
A bloop
Not a bloop. Ugh.
I'm a mess
Reyes really scares me.
Just dropped THE HAMMER on Floyd!!
DP and we're done?
The bizzarre ending would be a Reyes double play.
Reyes scares me too. But AW has the stuff...
That's why we love Jimmy.
Whew. He hit that hard. 2 outs....
Keep PLD on the ground
Ooh. overthrown hanging curve and he got away with it.
This is excruciating.
The only way to end it.
0-2
Curve.
And that is A WINNER!!!!!!
YESW
OH MY
No. That was a CUUUURVE
Against all odds, or with them, deserved or not, this team goes to the WS. Detroit is the land of the cold temps and hot fastballs. We throw the sinker. Do we have 4 more wins in us? Absolutely no idea. For most of tonight, we didn't have one more in us.
We let Perez go 5+ and never hooked him. God frowned in the 6th. But a little catcher shall lead them
Lace'em up tight boys. These kids throw the ol' number one. Now, if we could just schedule that Kevin Slayton interview with Kenny Rogers...
