    I can't believe Descalso has been so bad that it's made us pine for Skip. I loathe watching Skip.

    Anyone else have a Mulder-esque sort of feel to today's game. Meaning I expect Garcia to get hammered and then, after a couple more starts we find out he needs surgery.

    I just saw this, but no, I didn't get that sense. Garcia was a lot better than his numbers looked in the minors.

    At some point I think he'll have to get the surgery, though.

    The Reds are charmed out the ass. Still can't believe what's happening.

    The best part of the way this game is proceeding is that if you notice the 6 women sitting in the front row just left (from the pitcher's view) 3 of them are attorneys I work with. None of them can stand baseball, but they are entertaining a client who apparently enjoys it. I emailed one of them at the start of extras. They were ready to leave in the 6th, but the client wants to stay until it ends. Every inning they look more and more miserable, and it's cracking me up.

    This would have make for a good Twilight Zone episode: "Trapped in a world of endless baseball."

    I left in the fifth inning, sat through a coaches' meeting, then handed out football pants to every football-playing seventh grader in town and still had time to come home and see the end of the game.

    If only Schu had run out his double, this game might be over.

    Salas can get off the much-despised list with a scoreless inning here.

    Hungo is right. The Cardinals' pitching staff has kept Pedro Freakin' Alvarez in the major leagues.

    Re: 8/19 GC vs. Pirates

    Since I got here late and nobody else has bitched about it yet, can anyone explain how pinch-running Descalso for Craig made sense? Is Craig so bad on the basepaths that sticking his bat on the bench was acceptable?

    Re: 8/19 GC vs. Pirates

    I think I'm finally done. There's something missing with this team. They give away an absurd number of at-bats and David Freese is incapable of laying off the low and away pitch.
