Jeezus, he just walked a guy who doesn't have a hit since the All-Star break.

Welp. He's through 4. Now pull him.

Dear god 5 home runs.

Matheny is sending him back out there isn't he?

Just saw the box score. Is there a hurricane blowing out of the park or are the Birds just spanking Travis Wood?

Wood is just really bad.

The latter. Wind is actually blowing IN ... not hard, but in from right.

Wow. What a play from Jay.

I can't believe Lynn got through five.

That was crazy.

If Fuentes can't get LaHair, Soto or Barney then he should be cut.

The strike zone is also a factor, Fors. The plate umpire isn't giving anything on the corners or above the belt.

... and on cue Greene swings through a pitch up around his eyes.

It's not his fault.

To paraphrase Inspector Jacques Clouseau, the Cardinals sixth inning problem is solv-ed.

And to further qualify how bad Lynn was today, the Cardinals turned a double play, picked off a runner, threw out a runner stealing and Jay robbed Rizzo of extra bases. A good team could have put up a dozen runs.

With all that seems to have gone wrong, hopefully they can hold on a pull out a win. Sounds like they didn't deserve this one.
BTW- not that I want Cowboy to join this board, but wouldn't it be fun to hear him still trying to argue that Holliday isn't worth his contract. We just passed the 3 year anniversary of that trade. Holliday's numbers as a Cardinal (before today):
.316/.397/.541, 80 HR, 284 R, 297 RBI. That's despite missing almost 40 games last season.
Throw in 3 All-Star appearances. But I'm sure Cowboy expected more.

Efficient 7th for Browning.
Boggs has pitched an inning each of the last 3 games. Motte pitched 3 innings in the last 2 days. It sure would be nice to give them a day off.
A few more runs would be a good thing.

Pitch right down the middle. Good start, Salas.

He's been blazing for the past 4-5 weeks. The only other guy I can remember who could stay hot that long was Pujols.

"Sounds like they didn't deserve this one."
Well, Wood was pretty awful. None of the homers was cheap. Yadi's landed somewhere in Wisconsin.

Great. Babe LeHair representing the tying run.

Scrabble ... buckle your seat belts.
Unless the Cardinals come up with some runs in the ninth, it looks like they'll have to roll out Motte again. Hopefully against the bottom of the order.

Gosh, it sure would be nice to pull a guy out of the bullpen who could throw 100 mph. If only they had that.
LaHair has homered off of Scrabble once already.
