Welp, one of those rare occasions where last stand was right...
We got the vanishing offense once again. We didn't need 8 or 12 runs. 3 or 4 would have been just fine. Like we've seen all year, an average pitcher looks like Cy Young against the best hitting line-up in the NL. Hard to figure this bunch out sometimes. Like one of my old coaches used to say, "Sometimes hitting a baseball is just hard. They're throwing a round ball and trying to make you miss. You get to try to hit it with a round bat and you have less than 1" of room for error..."
Looking forward to tonight. Here's some sweeet irony. Strasburg and Wainwright both had the same surgery. Wainwright had his after Strasburg and is pitching tonight. Strasburg is sitting on the bench. If Wainwright were to go 7 or 8 innings and pick up the win. Can you imagine the howling we'll hear from DC? But alas, we get to face the likely Cy Young winner for 2012, Gio Gonzalez. Let's hope he doesn't have his best stuff...
Go Cards...
