Manzella, naturally, broke for home and the LF races for the ball, tries to throw Tommy out at the plate, but Tommy actually runs well (the only guy on the team who is not Pence/Bourn fast, who is not slow) and he beats the throw, which was a lousy throw gets away from Olivo and runners move up.So the rook is all shook up after all, Sullivan replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust hit a pitchers' pitch and he didn't pull it, as he does 99% of the time.So, bring in a lefty to pitch to Bourn? Well, Bourn DOES hit leftys well.So it is IBB Bourn to load the bases and the rook to face Kepp.
Cards 9, Stros 1.Poor Wandy LOOKS pounded.Brandon Backe comes in and gets the last out.Wandy threw 38 pitches that inning 34 cuz I'm not gonna count the 4 IBB pitches 15 were curves, and of the 7 hits, 5 (including replica Rado R22622712 Men's watch) were off curves.The change is supposed to be his best pitch yet, after the grand slam, he only threw it twice.WTF? WHAT is Quintero thinking? Is he calling the pitches or is PHIL, my mama wants to know sounds like something Phil would do.Well, we ALL know the game is lost we are NOT gonna come back against the best team in the NL when we down 8 freaking runs.Backe pitches the next inning and is NOT sharp.
Remember his ERA as a starter is like 2 points lower than it was as a reliever he gets out of the inning even though he walks 2.I was REAL surprised to see him back for the 6th he looked pretty shaky, couldn't locate almost anything (note that Morgan Ensberg made a GREAT play on what would have been a sure double) then Marquis singled, replica Rado R10384157 Men's watch Eckstein and Edmonds walked, then Chad Harville came in with bases loaded and got Pujols out.Backe owes Harville a VERY expensive steak fer SHER.I wonder how Backe liked pitching to Quintero he's low man on the totem pole and I don't know if Brad Ausmus can handle catching 4 5 games.
