Lidge's line tonight: 1 IP, 3 H, 2 ER The guy is going to tack on about 6 months more of nightmares dealing with the Cardinals.
July 9, 200620 yr Just another great comeback when that bum Miles can do that.. Pujols vs Oswalt in the 10th.. Izzy with 2 awesome relief innings to pick up the win.. great game too
July 9, 200620 yr Bottom 9th: Houston - J. Isringhausen relieved B. Looper (Tied game, Cards fans hold their breathe still) - Y. Molina catching (1st appearance since being plunk in the neck 2 days ago, forced to play due to Duncan ph for Bennett) - W. Taveras grounded out to third - J. Lane hit for B. Lidge - J. Lane struck out swinging - M. Lamb flied out to left Top 10th: St. Louis - R. Oswalt relieved B. Lidge - A. Pujols homered to deep right - S. Rolen singled to center - J. Edmonds grounded into double play second to shortstop to first, S. Rolen out at second - J. Encarnacion struck out swinging Bottom 10th: Houston - M. Ensberg flied out to right - L. Berkman grounded out to first - P. Wilson grounded out to pitcher THAT WAS GREAT THOUGH.. Isringhausen has pitched 3.1 shutout innings the past 2 nights winning a game and picking up a save.. He's starting to look nastier lately.. real good to see actually but it's always worrysome with him out there!
July 9, 200620 yr Izzy ain't exactly the most stable closer on the market..... Uh duh.. that's why I said it was nice seeing.. 2 innings of 1-2-3 ball from him is VERY RARE!
July 9, 200620 yr geez, mainly pujols owns lidge. i will never forget when he hit that homer off lidge in the playoffs last year. i was rooting for the astros--and that as just unbelievable to see. i was like OMG. i have that swing and the commentary stored in my head..wow.
July 10, 200620 yr Anyone watching the Cards/Astros game right now (Sunday Nite Baseball)? Is that Orestes Destrada doing his best impersination of Andres Cantor's "GOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL" call on HR's? Weird.
July 10, 200620 yr here we go again..........Pujols vs. Lidge got him to fly out to left-center...geez pujols must scare astro fans... update: aaron miles doubles , eckstein scores..7-5 STL
July 10, 200620 yr You're a piece of sh*t Lidge. he's having a horrid year..i guess the cards do own lidge after all..
