Not In The Cards: Cardinals 2, Dodgers 1

The best thing to come out of this game was Bob Timmermann's Dodger Whipping Boy Checklist, which I recall here:
  1. Drew - doesn't hit enough homers
  2. Kent - contract too long, bad fielder
  3. Lofton - blocking Matt Kemp
  4. Izturis - doesn't hit enough
  5. Nomar - is no longer hitting over .700 after the seventh inning and hence is useless (expounded last night)
  6. Hendrickson - not good enough
  7. Baez - not good at all
  8. Tomko - not good enough
  9. Billingsley - throws too many pitches
  10. Lowe - too flakey
  11. Furcal - poor fielder, overpaid
  12. Ethier - won't be as good as Kemp (this is a problem for some people)
  13. Sele - mirage
  14. Ledee - not Matt Kemp
  15. Saenz - doesn't socialize with teammates enough
  16. Hall - doesn't want to be here
  17. Alomar - old and doesn't walk
  18. Penny - whined too much in game at Atlanta
  19. Broxton - should be starter, not as good as advertised
  20. Saito - see 13
  21. Cruz - can't hit
  22. Beimel - see 20
  23. Martinez - see 22
  24. Perez - too many things to mention
  25. Carrara - retread
  26. Martin - lone player beyond reproach
Of course, I would add (27) Kemp - not Matt Kemp, considering his late collapse and optioning to Las Vegas, but that wasn't surprising. What was surprising was Scott Erickson Mark Hendrickson holding his own through six and two thirds.

Take number seven and number eleven on this game. Furcal caught a lineout but threw wide of first, allowing David Eckstein to get to second, and then Baez blew up. Eww.

Buster Olney is wearing bright blue contacts on 'Baseball Tonight'. Disappointing...
