August 10, 200422 yr With Beckett pitching against the stacked Cards lineup do you guys think we can win? We have won all the teams above .500. Can we pull it off again?
August 10, 200422 yr this is the best lineup we have faced, and i think this team plays best when its challenged. i especially think beckett will step up tomorrow considering this lineup he has to pitch to.
August 10, 200422 yr I certainly hope so. Kinda sucks that I am terrified to have our World Series MVP pitching. :confused
August 10, 200422 yr It all depends on what Beckett is prepared to do. Hopefully his last start has got the cobwebs cleared and he'll be up for a well pitched game. With LoDuca back in the lineup the team should be able to produce some runs.
August 10, 200422 yr you just gotta have faith in the players, and know the team will try their hardest... if they don't pull thru tomorrow, they still got 2 solid, solid pitchers the following 2 days. you can't go into the game questioning their abilities. go in full throttle and hope for the best.
August 10, 200422 yr Our best chances to win in this series will be when Pavano and Burnett pitch on Wednesday and Thursday.
August 10, 200422 yr It would be nice if Josh showed the f*** up 503966[/snapback] He has to come down off cloud 9 first....and once again re-learn that he can't throw the ball past everyone and needs to pitch. If he starts this game trying to establish his fastball and thinking he is going to throw it past everyone, like he did against the D'Backs and Expos, then the Cardinals will just start pounding the ball.
August 10, 200422 yr that game where he hurt his back, he was throwing just unbelievable that game. he had around 8 strikeouts through 3 innings. you wonder if he would've been able to finish that game, what kind of numbers he might have wound up with. might have even been a springboard to get him on a roll... oh well. the team does seem to play up (or down) to the competition sometimes, so I think we've got a fair shot in this series. that lineup is just ridiculous though. rolen, edmonds, pujols, walker, 4 of the most feared hitters in the game back to back.
August 10, 200422 yr If we can have a strong series against a good team like this I think it will be a huge boost for the team.
August 10, 200422 yr the best way to deal with that line up is by doing the following: We start Perisho, and he throws a 90MPH fastball at their heads, giving them brain damage...then they'll kick Perisho out...and we wouldnt have to worry about him....

August 10, 200422 yr Perisho would somehow find a way to put the ball straight down the middle of the plate against righties.
August 10, 200422 yr Author If we can have a strong series against a good team like this I think it will be a huge boost for the team. 504001[/snapback] I agree. If we somehow find a way to win the series against the Cards or even better a sweep, then definitely i think it would be a really huge boost for the team. I hope it goes that way.
