GDT 9/14: Just win.

[EastonBlues22]

Note to all Cardinals players:

Read and fully digest

and

before today's game. There will be a test on today's material. Please arrive at the ballpark prepared, and early enough to have any questions answered.

That is all.

Unfortunately losing is an option for this group.

[Maclowery]

We're just hurredly trying to get down to the amount of losses that an outside observer would have expected of a team decimated by injury and off-field complications.

Okay, okay. I've been laying in a ditch in the Dominican for the last 4 days while I haven't been around. I've gone looking for the secret talisman of Success & Power. If I can make it back to the US in time for the start of the game tonight, I promise the Cardinals can win. And I promise they can keep winning. I stopped in at a local fortune teller. I asked her to predict the game. She said:

Cardinals - 5
Cubs - 3

Pujols will homer. Wainwright will go 7, 6 hits, 3 r, 2 er, 1 BB, 5 K.

She was vague but said a superstar on the rise will overcome recent obstacles to make an impact on this game.

I must go. The guards are coming. Wish me luck, boys.

It's in the Shrine of the Silver monkey. GO!!

Just win

....please!!!!!!!

I have $20 more riding on this series. Normally I'd be ok losing a cubbie-bet, if the Cards were playing well. Not so much this time.

[number9]

Miles 4
Ankiel 9
Pujols 3
Edmonds 8
Schumaker 7
Molina 2
Ryan 5
Wainwright 1
Eckstein 6

Also, Spiezio is in uniform and has been activated.

[Secret Weapon]

Eckstein was in; apparently has a sore back and has been scratched... Cairo and Spiezio were taking ground balls; TLR opted to go with Speezer... one of them will play 3B.... Ryan moved to SS, batting ninth...will update ..this info from Dan Kriegshauser of 1380.

I'm hoping we can just keep it close to make it interesting in these games.

wow, a leadoff walk to Soriano -- that's hard to do!!
