St. Louis Cardinals at Chicago Cubs, Sep 19, 2008 1:20 PM CDT
There's an old saying: "A picture is worth 1000 words." If that's true, here are 4000:

Adam Wainwright missed two months on the DL, came back in August, threw pretty well and then got hit hard in his last start vs. the Pirates. His only start vs. the Cubs this year was a no-decision on May 2, a game the Cubs won in 11. (Who's that guy who started for the Cubs that day? Never heard of him.) Aramis Ramirez is the Cub who likes to hit Wainwright the best (7-for-19, .368/.455/.684, 3 doubles, a HR).
You all know what Z did in his last start. The Cardinals are one of the teams he throws best against: 9-5, 2.77 in 21 lifetime appearances (20 starts), though they beat him up pretty good on August 9 at Wrigley Field, even though Z homered in that game. Albert Pujols also homered in that game (and so did three other Cardinals), but has only a .250 lifetime average vs. Z.
You asked for it, you got it! Today's Gratuitous Geo Photo:
Today's game is again on cable in Chicago and St. Louis, and at the MLB.com Mediacenter.

It doesn't get any better than Santo
I was able to watch the first few innings yesterday before me and some buddies took of for our golf round. Fortunately we did not forget our radio/cooler. On the Sixth tee box I was able to hear the two quick outs but by the green Geo stepped up and smacked the home run. All of us started going crazy on the green along with Santo going completely ape shit. Huge Win and a great round on a beautiful day. It doesn’t get much better….except for October!

My friend's challenge
My friend is always challenging me and we challenge each other. I have fun with song titles for my Cubs related emails.
So she has thrown me a curveball. She says “You have to use a Brittany Spears song for when the Cubs win the division”
So it’s going to be a slightly changed one. Instead of Oops I Did it Again it will be Whoop They Did it Again

A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender says, “Hey, I haven’t seen you in a while. What happened, you look terrible!”
“What do you mean?” the pirate replies, “I’m fine.”
The bartender says, “But what about that wooden leg? You didn’t have that before.”
“Well,” says the pirate, “We were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit my leg but the surgeon fixed me up, and I’m fine, really.”
“Yeah,” says the bartender, “But what about that hook? Last time I saw you, you had both hands.”
“Well,” says the pirate, “We were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and my hand was cut off but the surgeon fixed me up with this hook, and I feel great, really.”
“Oh,” says the bartender, “What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes.”
“Well,” says the pirate, “One day when we were at sea, some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up, and one of them shat in my eye.”
“So?” replied the bartender, “what happened? You couldn’t have lost an eye just from some bird shit!”
“Well,” says the pirate, “I really wasn’t used to the hook yet.”

Why did he have a donut on his back?

He just holds them there for safe keeping. I heard that
he can pack away a whole dozen that way.

I was thinking Al’s comment in the game recap about the Shark and possibly being left off the Postseason roster (if we get there) was premature. If he has a rope like Bob Howry he will get at least 1,223 more chances

Well, to answer your question...
…yes, he probably would have been labeled “fine” if DeRo had made that play. Samardzija did walk Counsel just before that, but I believe Counsel is generally considered a fairly patient hitter. Beyond that, the Shark induced four groundballs in his outing – the last two just found holes. (Granted, Durham’s was pretty hard hit.)
I’d say the answer lies somewhere in between – I don’t think Samardzija was awful by any means, but his control wasn’t as sharp as it should’ve been. And I agree with Al’s point that Lou probably should have brought in Cotts to turn around Durham. Nonetheless, it was a little frustrating to see people on the game thread jump all over the Shark.

Never underestimate Tony LaRussa's ability to undermine a player.
I could care less that Kennedy requested the trade; I just like that it could be a distraction for a day or two while the media chases the story.
