Series Thread: Cardinals @ Braves

Did the Cards play a full 9 innings tonight?

unfortunately, yes.

Jo-El Pineiro continued his obnoxious habit of pitching like crap any time the Cardinals get him a lead. Every time I read STLToday and they talk about Jo-El not having any wins in the past x number of starts... all I think about his him throwing away 2-run or more leads - repeatedly.

Then throw Jimenez entering the game in the 8th of what was a 2-run game and promptly giving up 2 more runs...

The Cardinals lost tonight squarely on the shoulders of crappy pitching.

I know, Mo came on the radio today and said they were going to recall Garcia and put him in the 'pen whenever Ank is "healthy" again and they'd send down either Stavinoha or Mather (please not Mather). IMO, they should let Garcis start and throw Pineiro to the 'pen. He's completely lost it as a starter and looks like the guy the Red Sox dumped.

I'm sick of Pineiro and I have never like Jimenez. I want to see Perez up for Jimenez and bring up Garcia.

I agree on Mather. He needs to stay here. Bye Stavinoha.
