Now that they mentioned Locke is starting through the order for the third time, I'd be happy if he goes four, and we throw Blanton into the mix!

Nibbles has been flirting with disaster every inning but one, but he is finding a way somehow...

(Actually I meant his control is terrible and he looks awful! 8-) )

OK Cutch- you've looked like shit your first two at bats.

Get back into last week's groove right now!

Cards have Cutch's number this year.

Amazing he's gotten a hit in 9 of the 10 games, but has a BA that low!

Baseball is such a funny game sometimes. Cutch has been on fire lately and yet tonight looks like dirt...

Just like being a pro golfer, being a hitter in the MLB will humble you in a heartbeat!

37 strikes, 31 balls.

Come on, Nibbles!

And please tell me Blanton is heating up...

...and of course there's no one throwing in the pen.

Maybe there should be a study on the relationship between bubble gum chewing and dementia.

I don't want to hear this crap that the Pirates have to play 20 straight games...only in THREE of them do they have a chance to control whether they make up games on St. Louis or not.

Hurdle gets me every time he does this.

I'm such a fool for letting my hopes fool me into thinking this time he will be different.

Once again, the Cardinals simply wait until you beat yourself.
You can blame Jeff Locke for sucking and you'd be right.
You can blame Clint Hurdle more for KNOWING the stat about Locke's 3rd time through a line up and not being proactive.
After all, Hurdle is a 711 manager (recently converted to a 611 manager). Too much to expect him to put away the book by which he manages constantly.

Ugly inning - bet Nibbles is done now.

But I will say this - even the Cardinal announcers on Fox St Louis said it - several of those calls by the homeplate ump were fairly iffy on balls. A couple of those go Locke's way and I don't think he gives up 3 in the inning...

A couple were iffy- most were not.

And when you are struggling with control all night long, you don't get the borderline calls.

I don't entirely disagree.
However, Locke has been on the ropes every inning tonight and was lucky enough to dodge bullets for the 1st 4 innings.
The moron masquerading as a Pirate manager was too stubborn or too stupid to be proactive and the Cardinals made him pay.

OK Cervelli- if it gets to two strikes, PLEASE do not let a borderline pitch go by...

What? Matheny got a reliever up in the bullpen right after Alvarez got his double?

You can do that? It's not against the rules?

I don't disagree. But I assume Hurdle's thought is why burn bullpen when you will need them later in the series? I dunno - let's see how this game progresses before we decide how bad this was...
