baseball again

Thanks, Craviduce!

Saggese to Memphis, Walker off the IL

Happy Birthday, Joe and Ryan!!!

Kelly will be tough. Galen in not good, and the dude o Sunday has a 5.96 era but is a lefty. Words out, cards can’t hit lefties. We should get two of those.

Walker needs to be in the lineup EVERY day or what’s the point?

Once again this front office shows its stupidity. Gray is the Cards best SP he pitched Sunday so he's had 4 days rest and he only threw 36 pitches he should be starting so he could get as many starts as possible the remainder of the season.

Normally leaving him in the minors could be smart. But as Futuregm noted not calling him up after rehab would eliminate their ability to option him to the minors next season. They are in a tough spot with Walker.

Yeah him and his .215 avg. I so miss him swinging and missing pitches low and away out of the strike zone!

Thanks Duce!

Wish my back wasn't killing me. Was thinking of going to the game but had to take one of the wife's pain pills and it's been so long since I took an opiate I am flying now.

Guess I'll sit down in the living room with a guitar and watch the game.

Well, he's starting tomorrow, so I think everything is going to be ok.

Also, this ensure he pitches against San Diego, a wild card team we are neck and neck with instead of against Colorado. So bashing this franchise for everything aside, maybe it's a smart move?

Grazie, Crav.
Forza ii rosso!

It's frustrating to see Walker not improve about the chasing, but it's tough to be too indignant about his batting average when Noot is hitting .227, Gorman .219, and Pages .208. Walker has fewer at bats than all of those guys. Our problem is broader than Walker.
