I got a late start on this one – joining MLB.tv in the top of the 2nd, Cardinals up 1-0 and Troy Glaus just got hit with a pitch…
EDIT: Hey hey! Albert hit one out! Looks like he only needed a few innings off, not a whole game.
05.09.08 – Cardinals vs. Brewers

Nice base hit by Ank – 2 on, no outs – great hustle by Glaus to get to 3rd.
Heh. The FSN Wisconsin announcers just said that “…like Ned Yost, Tony LaRussa batting the pitcher eighth…”
As if Ned is a pioneer…
Once again. That is why PITCHERS HIT EIGHTH.
Iz2! That is a great at bat for him.
Bah, should’ve had more there. Schu hits one on the nose but right at the Pillsbury Dough Boy ™.
Need Wellemeyer to throw strikes…
Excellent inning by Wellemeyer. I’m going to have to take back my comments about him going to the pen!
I’ve thought this for a long time, but haven’t had the outlet – Laz Diaz is one of the worst MLB umpires. Book it.
Glaus won’t come out for the bottom…here comes the Brendan Ryan show again.
Wellemeyer – looks good. No jinx.
From the Brewers’ telecast “…except for the walk, Parra has retired 7 in a row.”
Um, what? Walks don’t count now?
Holy Brendan Ryan. Yikes.
I don’t even know what to say about this.
I can only imagine what Brendan Ryan is thinking.
that was ball four
What in the blue hell is happening right now? I pray that Glaus is not out any extended period of time.
Kendall should be out too. If it is illegal for a fielder to throw his glove at a ball, it should be, likewise, illegal for a player to throw his bat at a pitch because the hit-and-run is on.
C’mon boys – we need to capitalize here.
Dangit – Molina needs to be on his horse there.
Why doesn’t Tony make a rule to have a guy up around the 6th inning or so with these “starters”?
Nice work by the middle of the order here with 2 outs.
Nice scoop Albert!
Miles at 3B – fascinating. And makes an out.
ANK! Strokes of Jimmy out there…
Isringhausen has to go.
Something has to be done.
I can’t even put my feelings into words.
