Cardinals beat us by wanting it more and it drives me crazy.  What is it?

Do we have no confidence because of the injuries?

Are we bored because we realize postseason is of utmost importance?  (Uh, guys we have to win in the regular season to get to the postseason)

Do we think we should beat everyone without having to try at our hardest, conserving ourselves for a long season?

Offense is driving me crazy.....

Man,

Lou was asked about Fukodome's inability in the press conference,   he completely interrupted the question and stated..........I am paraphrasing..............., "I am done talking about Fukodome, we will play Johnson, Fontenot, who knows, the kid is not playing well and is obviously overwhelmed......he will not be playing anymore...

This expirament has not worked.   I am so discouraged to look at other Japanese ball players come over here after lengthy careers in Japan.  Kosuke has arguably the worst percentages of any player playing on a regular basis in the MLB.

He needs to go to Arizona and learn how to stay on the plate...

Didn't see that coming?

Gaudin with two wins and Harden with only one loss and not one win.  Not Harden's fault....just hope to have a better offensive support game in the final game of this series.

Gaudin was nails tonight!!!  He really had alot of control and did get three K's in a row on an inning where we absolutely needed it.

I like the acquisition of these two more and more every day!

Very impressed.....

On the show tonight, they have mentioned the fact that Sheets probably isn't going to pitch on Sunday and it is quite likely that they may pull him for the rest of the season.

If Sheets cannot pitch for the Brewers I see little chance they can gain 2 games on us in the next 8 games especially with the fact that they are playing Atlanta and SD who both are in the hunt....
