shut down

Well, i was hoping to post my thoughts on a cardinals win but Lincecom was hot today. The only time i ever thought we had a good chance was at the end when the bullpen came out. Every time a runner got on base he would just calmly pitch a DP ball or a SO. Amazing performance, and if what he has done to the cards over the last week is for real - he may end up with over 15 wins this year.

Onto the cards and im happy they gave Rico a start, in for Glaus, he did ok - he looks very good defensively, i think better than Troy but he presumably isn't there for his defense. Albert had a frustrating night as did the entire offense actually. Piniero did better than his first outing and there is every chance that he could be back to his best in 1 or 2 outings time.

Not much to talk about in the way of superb offense, defense or pitching from the Cardinals. Thompson did well out of the pen, Ankiel made a few great grabs in centre, especially the 1st out on the second pitch - as soon as it left his bat i thought it was a homer or at least a double but Ankiel was playing him just perfect :)

All i can say is better luck tomorrow - they didnt play a bad ballgame today, they just didnt play a good one and it would have needed something special to touch lincecom today - im just glad that it is the last time we will see lincecom this year, imagine that - done with SanFran for the year after April 20 :-0

Final - San Francisco Giants 3 St. Louis Cardinals 0

Positives - Still got a chance to win series tomorrow, Thompson bounced back well, some good defence plays

Negatives - double plays - too many. ludwick needs to start.

until tomorrow...

I think i saw...

WILT - Taylor Swift - Picture to Burn
