First off, last night's game was a real stinker. It reminded me of the 2007 Cardinals. They showed little hard, little passion, and basically little ability. Very few positives can be taken from the game. Albert was on base a bunch and Barton hit a home run. For some reason, Ludwick sat the bench again (seriously Tony---he's a freaking All Star at this point!!!) and Duncan sucked at the plate, in the field, and probably on the bench. Looper looked awful. It is a wonder how he is on pace for 18 wins. Overall, it was just a frustrating game. Oh, and why must we continue to deal with Kennedy. He has to be one of the worst #6 hitters this decade. It is time to start looking for an alternate with a little power. Grudzelanik (I butchered that) available yet?
In the minors, we fared a little better. We were down at Memphis 8-1 in the 5th. I checked this morning. We lost 10-8. A loss is a loss, but you gotta love the fight. Bryan Anderson went 4 for 5 (4 singles) while Colby went 2 for 4 with a 2b and a BB. Perhaps he is waking up. Next stop for him---the Mendoza Line!
Palm Beach won handily. Kyle Mura threw 8.1 IP, giving up just 2 runs while striking out 6. Nice night. I don't know too much about him, but here you go. He is 23 in Palm Beach (a little old for that league). He has a 4:1 K:BB---pretty nice. He has thrown 49 innings and has 38 Ks. He has given up some hits, but has seemingly always limited the long ball (only 1 this year).
