I see. Good luck to you and your team.
Why is someone from Virgina a Yankee fan?
That's probably true. They should limit the number of cars a team can have 3 or 4.
Can the Roush cars finish 1..2..3..4..and..5 tonight?
I agree Lee, they have a strong team. Maybe our favorite teams will face off in the WS again this year.
Jason Marquis pitched his second complete game in a row going nine innings, allowing 1 run on 5 hits, no walks and 5 K's. The Cardinals weakest pitcher of the year seems to be turning things around with two very good starts. C Yadier Molina went 2 for 4 with 2 RBIs. 3B Abraham Nunez was 3 for 3 with a walk and a run scored.
The Cardinals take two of three from Houston, improving their record to 87-50. They have a 14 1/2 game lead in the NL Central.
next game: Monday 1:15 pm CT. Prior (10-5) for Chicago @ Suppan (13-10) for St. Louis.
Chris Carpenter becomes baseball's first 20 game winner this season. Carpenter gave up two runs on eight hits with eight K's helping the Cardinals to a 4-2 win over Houston. He has won his last 12 decisions and is 12-0 with a 1.44 ERA in his last 14 starts, with three shutouts and six complete games. He leads the NL in wins, innings, complete games and winning percentage. C Yadier Molina went 2 for 3 with a walk and two RBIs.
next game: Sunday 1:05 pm CT. Marquis (10-13) for St. Louis @ Rodriguez (9-6) for Houston.

Pirates, Cardinals coaches suspended for scuffle
September 1, 2005
NEW YORK (AP) -- Pirates hitting coach Gerald Perry was suspended eight games and St. Louis pitching coach Dave Duncan was suspended four games for a scuffle during batting practice at Pittsburgh last month.
Pittsburgh manager Lloyd McClendon got a one-game for escalating the shoving match, which broke out before the Cardinals' 8-3 victory over the Pirates on Aug. 24. Perry and Duncan had to be restrained by players.
The suspensions were scheduled to begin Friday. The three coaches also were fined an undisclosed amount.
The scuffle came after two contentious games that featured injuries to both teams. Pittsburgh second baseman Jose Castillo sustained a season-ending knee injury when he collided with Hector Luna while trying to turn a double play on Aug. 22. The Cardinals' So Taguchi wound up with a bruised hand the following night when he was hit by a pitch from Ryan Vogelsong in the ninth inning.
McClendon and Cardinals manager Tony La Russa talked behind the batting cage for 10 minutes after the fray. They later met in an eight-minute, closed-door session requested by umpires.
Last season, McClendon and La Russa were each suspended for two games after getting into a shouting match that caused both benches to empty.

I agree. That's probably why he doesn't have a MVP yet. He plays in a smaller market. If he played in NY, Chicago or LA he would probably have a couple by now.
He's certainly the best player over the last five years. Still young too only 25.
You just went on ignore jdaasoc. bye
Albert Pujols gets his 100th RBI of the season tonight. He becomes the fourth player in Major League history to have 100 or more RBIs in each of his first five seasons, joining Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio and Al Simmons. Pujols has also hit 30 home runs and scored 100 runs in each of his first five seasons.
Cardinals took 2 of 3 from Flordia, winning tonight 10-5. Jeff Suppan got the win going 5 innings allowing no runs on 3 hits. OF Hector Luna got his first home run of the year, he went 3 for 5 with 3 RBIs and 3 runs scored. SS David Eckstein went 3 for 5 with a home run, three RBIs and a run scored. 1B Albert Pujols went 3 for 5 with a RBI and 2 runs scored.
Florida's Jeremy Hermida became the first player in more than a century and only second ever to hit a grand slam in his first major league at bat. It came in the 7th inning off Al Reyes.
It was "Bark at the Park" night at Dolphins Stadium and 687 dogs showed up to enjoy the game.
next game: Friday 7:05 pm CT. Mulder (15-6) for St. Louis @ Astacio (2-6) for Houston
Florida beat St. Louis 7-6 tonight. Florida OF Miguel Cabrera went 2 for 4 with a home run and three RBIs. Cardinal 2B Mark Grudzielanek hit a three run home run and had four RBIs.
next game: Wednesday 6:05 pm CT. Suppan (12-10) for St. Louis @ Vargas (5-1) for Florida.
I believe Tatis hit two grand slams in the same inning.
He did. I was watching on TV when it happened. I believe it was in 99 or 2000 when he was with St. Louis. That's 8 RBIs in one inning.
stocks4john if it's not too late sign me up. I'll have my first weeks pick in a few days. Thanks
Another solid performance by Chris Carpenter helping the Cardinals to a 6-1 win over Florida. Carpenter becomes the first 19 game winner in the major leagues. He is 11-0 in his last 14 starts. SS David Eckstein has been hitting well lately, tonight he went 4 for 5 with 3 RBIs and a run scored. RF Larry Walker went 3 for 5 with a home run, a RBI and a run scored. 2B Mark Grudzielanek got his first hit since his knee injury.
Cardinal 3B Scott Rolen had shoulder surgery in Cincinnati today. The Cardinals are hopeful he will be ready for spring training in 06. "I can say that they thought it was successful surgery, and we expect his rehab should be good," general manager Walt Jocketty said on Monday at Dolphins Stadium. "Now, we'll see what it's like in January, but right now everything is pretty optimistic."

next game: Tuesday 6:05 pm CT. Morris (14-5) for St. Louis @ Valdez (1-1) for Florida.
No. He's going to be fun to watch. I hope he gets a lot of playing time. I'll be watching him.
That's great. Too bad I missed it.
I hope Matt Jones does well in the NFL. He was fun to watch at Arkansas. "ThrillBilly" seems to fit him.
That is a lot of attention for a high school senior. He must be good.
I missed the "thrillbilly" catch. What is a "thrillbilly" catch?
That's too bad. Seemed like a nice guy.
Hey ddf. I thought Mustain the quarterback from Springdale was going to U of A this year. Looks like he's got one more year at Springdale. It will probably be 07 before he sees any playing time at Arkansas. You know who is going to start at QB this year?
After 1,272 lefts, why Dale Jarrett turned right
By JIM LITKE, AP Sports Columnist
August 29, 2005
The short answer to why there are so many crashes in NASCAR:
Strip away the 800-horsepower engines, the flame-retardant suits, the 3,400 pounds of steel and the drivers go about their business pretty much like everybody else.
They laugh, they cry, they win a few and lose all the rest. They show up at work, get their feelings hurt, get mad, and sometimes, they get even.
Except in their case, that means just about every time.
Maybe that explains why none of the higher-ups got the least bit overheated about the right turn Dale Jarrett made into Ryan Newman on lap 318 of the Sharpie 500 late Saturday night. Never mind that it happened at 100 mph, and knocked both of them and Kevin Harvick -- his only sin: wrong place, wrong time -- out of the race.
In NASCAR, those little love taps aren't just tolerated; they ARE the rules of the road.
And so maybe the only thing that distinguished this one from the dozen other dustups and spinouts that took place at the Bristol Motor Speedway -- including the handful of purposeful ones -- was how absolutely dumb and obvious it was.
``Mine was unintentional,'' Newman said about running Jarrett into a fence 17 laps earlier, ``and his was intentional and that's all I'm saying.''
Jarrett was slapped with a two-lap penalty during the race, but that's all. And in the unlikely event officials call him in to pursue the matter further, he'll point out he forgot to turn left only once in 1,272 tries, that it could happen to anybody, and walk out of the hearing room with pride intact and nothing worse than another slap on the wrist.
Besides, the higher-ups at NASCAR probably figured out by now that Jarrett did such a good job of punishing himself, any further discipline would be piling on.
That little road-rage episode, coupled with the two-lap penalty, resulted in a 31st-place finish. More important, it probably killed off any chance Jarrett had of qualifying for ``The Chase for the championship,'' the lucrative little postseason scheme NASCAR hatched last year to keep fans from changing channels once the NFL begins playing for keeps in the same weekend time slots.
Jarrett left Bristol without comment, which was probably a smart decision. The result dropped him from 11th place to 14th in the Nextel Cup ``Chase'' standings, but the real shame is that he took Newman down a notch, from eighth to ninth, and Harvick from 14th to 16th. With only two races left to accumulate points before the top 10 are awarded playoff spots, Jarrett needed more enemies and frustration like he needed an allen wrench upside the head.
He's 0-for-his-last-94 races, and on his eighth crew chief since Todd Parrott departed at the end of 2002. He's already 48 and staring out a fast-closing window. Rusty Wallace and Mark Martin, two guys who broke in around the same time and planned to retire at the end of the season, have just about locked up spots in the ``Chase.'' Martin is having second thoughts, but if he does return, like Terry Labonte, Bill Elliott and a few other of Jarrett's contemporaries, he'll probably run a much lighter schedule. Jarrett is one of the few older drivers who hasn't talked about slowing down, but maybe he should.
Whether any of that factored into his thinking Saturday night, only Jarrett knows. He and Newman, who's 20 years younger, are both clean racers with no history between them. On the other hand, once Newman loosened up Jarrett's car on lap 318, everybody seemed to know a payback was in the cards.
One racer said afterward the spotters were warning their drivers over the radio ``to steer clear when the 88 (Jarrett) gets near the 12 (Newman).'' And sure enough, it was worth heeding.
Of course, Bristol's officiating crew knew what was on the way, too. The half-mile, high-banked track guarantees racing at close quarters for 500 laps, which in turn, guarantees lots of frayed nerves. NASCAR treats bumping incidents the same way major league baseball does knockdown pitches and the NHL does fights -- as necessary evils -- and hands out penalties after determining intent.
It's not always fair, which is why you see drivers occasionally taking justice into their own hands. After totaling up the damage at Bristol, Matt Borland, Newman's crew chief, suggested that didn't seem like such a bad option.
``If they have problems, Ryan and he need to talk about it after the race, beat each other up, I don't care. But to destroy two race cars that cost a whole bunch of guys at two shops a lot of work,'' he added, ``that's just stupid.''

Mark Mulder was unable to start today (neck). The Cardinal bullpen filled in nicely. Combined the bullpen (Eldred, Thompson, Tavarez, Reyes, King) went 9 innings allowing no runs on 4 hits, two walks, and 4 Ks. SS David Eckstein went 2 for 5 with two runs scored. C Yadier Molina went 1 for 4 with 2 runs scored.
next game: Monday 6:05 pm CT. Carpenter (18-4) for St. Louis @ Burnett (12-7) for Florida. Could be a pitchers duel tomorrow.
Matt Kenseth has made a big run lately. He needs to pass Jeff Gordon to get another Ford in. Going the other way is Dale Jarrett, he was in 10th not to long ago. It will be tough for Jarrett to make it.
Am I the only Rusty Wallace fan on the board?
Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson, Greg Biffle, and Rusty Wallace are in the Chase. 19 drivers still have a chance.

??? Mulder did not pitch today because of a stiff neck. He is penciled in for Sunday.
I'm sure that was fun.
Looks like more rain at Bristol. It may be early in the morning before they get finished.
I never been to a drag race. They have them in Memphis, I'll have to go to one soon. I been to one tractor pull. It was fun.
You guys have got to get out and see a live race. Can't really tell how fast they are going watching on TV. They just flash by at 190 and the cars are very loud.
I agree. I'm looking at the same thing, here's a weekly chart.

Could have some more downside left, but getting close to a support level.
The Cardinals lose the first of three games to Washington 4-1. Loaiza pitched a good game for Washington going 7 innings allowing 1 run on just three hits.
next game: Saturday 12:20 pm CT. Mulder (15-6) for St. Louis @ White (0-0) for Washington.
Here's a chart for NBTY (NTY).
http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/SC.web?c=nty
It has been in a decline since mid June. The decline accelerated in early August, but has begin to consolidate lately.
Congratulations to Tony LaRussa who moved past Sparky Anderson into third place on the all time managerial win list. Thursdays 6-3 win over Pittsburgh is LaRussa's 2,195th victory of his career. He trails only Connie Mack (3713 wins) and John McGraw (2763 wins).
