Disappointing Defeat

Posted on May 21, 2008 at 7:41 AM
Filed Under: Baseball | Braden Looper | Brian Barton | Heroes and Goats | San Diego Padres | St. Louis Cardinals | Troy Glaus
I'm out of the office the next couple of days, so I don't know how much posting I'll get done between now and Tuesday.  But let's throw up a quick one.

Went to bed with the Cards up 2-0 and the Pads really not doing much.  Was pretty stunned to see the 3-2 loss when I woke up this morning.  That really was a game the Cards needed to win, with the Cubs already losing.  The offense looked pretty solid early, but apparently never could get it done late.

Hero: Troy Glaus.  2-4, drove in a run, scored another.
Goat: Brian Barton.  0-4 in the leadoff spot.  He needs to show a little more to keep from being buried on the bench.

Tonight's game is Braden Looper vs. Chris Young.  Looper hasn't faced San Diego much.  He's done well, save against Adrian Gonzalez, in his limited exposure.  Young's done even better against the Cardinals (assuming I've pulled the right Chris Young, that is!)  Hopefully the Cardinals will be able to pull out the series win tonight.

Chris Young is tough, especially at Petco. Keep your fingers crossed...
