jwest27 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2006 The Cards are truly a one-man team. I am liking how the Busch faithful are sounding more like Cubs fans these days. Well, being on the verge of a historical collapse will do that to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted September 28, 2006 I'm hoping beyond hope that the Dodgers, Cards and Nats win. Then LA would be 2 ahead of Philly, and one behind the Padres. If we win the division, we get the Phillies with home field! Â Yes, I'm hoping the Padres fall apart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sfaJack 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2006 I loved how Phil Garner let Dan Wheeler, his best reliever, throw 46 pitches tonight. I'm all in favor of keeping your best pitchers in the game as long as possible, but 46 pitches for a guy who's now thrown 4 of the past 5 nights seems a bit much. Better hope they don't need him tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2006 I fell asleep at 8 and just turned on the Phillies game. From Al's last 5 or so posts I should consider myself lucky, I suppose. So far we got a double and a bunt single. Â The Nats Stadium is basically empty except for the Phillies crowd, which have turned it into a Phils home game.

Â Yeah but I'm afraid Garner's going to throw Wandy out there to give his starters an extra day off somewhere down the stretch. The offense can't score 7 runs EVERY night.

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2006 I'm really liking Chris Sampson for the rotation next year. After going through the much hyped Ezequial Astacio, Taylor Buchholz, and Jason Hirsh (who hasn't been bad at all, really), I think Sampson's going to be better than any of them. Looks like the 'Stros will remain 1.5 games back with the Cards going to Miller to face Davis (they suck against lefties), Sheets, Capuano, and...do they face Dave Bush or Ohka? I hope Bush.
