]]> <![CDATA[Wells Lumbers To Victory In Dodgers Debut]]> @CardinalRedOctober: For real. Miller and Morgan were praising him up and down like he'd thrown a complete game shut out. Wells was helped out by some shit-witted base running on the Mets' part.

I would be astounded if Wells doesn't get shelled next time out. And if not then, the following start.

I don't like thinking about that, not because of Wainwright, but because of Just Disabled Drew.

Not that it matters.

What will kill your teams is the fact that both of them suck. And I know suck. I'm a Pirates fan.

Lady Andrea

]]> <![CDATA[Wells Lumbers To Victory In Dodgers Debut]]> @Lady Andrea: your schedule will kill you.

Jack Cobra

]]> <![CDATA[Wells Lumbers To Victory In Dodgers Debut]]> @Lady Andrea: actually....

The Cardinals will be forced to play 35 games in the final 34 days of the season, including a day-night doubleheader against the Cubs on Sept. 15 in St. Louis. They will have no off days after Aug. 27.

This will kill your team, especially your bullpen. It happened to us in '04

Jack Cobra

]]> <![CDATA[Wells Lumbers To Victory In Dodgers Debut]]> @Jack Cobra: Actually, we have 20 remaining games against teams that are at least 10-15 games under .500. We have 3 games against a .500 team and only 10 against .500+ teams.

It sucks that we don't have another day off, but I like the way our schedule looks down the stretch.

Lady Andrea

@Cinco Ocho: The way Mauer's been hitting of late, I'd almost rather have Redmond in there.

Weed Against Speed

No Mauer for the 3-game set.

Yeah, but a good kind of odd, like when you see an old woman put her dentures in to eat corn.

Your squad could put the Twins away for good or let them right back in.

CardinalRedOctober

]]> <![CDATA[Wells Lumbers To Victory In Dodgers Debut]]> The White Sox should really be thanking the O's today. The four game pounding by a cumulative 46-7 would look really bad if the Orioles hadn't let 2/3 of that happen to them in one game.

Michael Bertin

]]> <![CDATA[Wells Lumbers To Victory In Dodgers Debut]]> No love for Jayson Werth's career day yesterday? Dude went 5-5 with 4 RBI, and made a few nice plays in the outfield. I was sitting on the first base side yesterday, and every time he came out after that first inning, he got a nice standing O from those of us on the right field corner.

Cinco Ocho

]]> <![CDATA[Wells Lumbers To Victory In Dodgers Debut]]> Does that mean David Wells will now get canceled since he had a Mitch Yost experience?

How about some love for the Twins' five game sweep of the O's?

What's that? Warner-Robbins could sweep the O's?

Never mind.

]]> <![CDATA[Wells Lumbers To Victory In Dodgers Debut]]> All that drinking -- errr -- resting must have been good for old Boomer. Here's predicting he gets hit around in two of his next three starts, making the Dodgers realize why the Padres put him out on the scrap heap.

]]> <![CDATA[Wells Lumbers To Victory In Dodgers Debut]]> Is it just me, or are we seeing more 40+ pitchers pitching well the past couple of years then normal? Moyer, Glavine, Smoltz, Wakefield, Maddux, Wells, Johnson (not this year), Clemens, etc.
