June 13, 201213 yr Gutsy effort by Quintana. I still don't know how he can get guys out with the stuff he has. It must be good location...
June 13, 201213 yr Big road win against the defending champs. Love it. Q battled through; Jones with a nice relief appearance. Thorty/Crain/Reed doing there thing; Hudson with the 2 run double and Dunn/AJP with their 2 run hr's which made things relaxing.
June 13, 201213 yr If we can get to their bullpen with a lead in these next few games we should be in good shape.
June 13, 201213 yr Quintana is the Phil Humber of 2012. Has really saved the team, and especially KW's butt. Whoever recommended picking him up deserves a promotion in the scouting department. Of all the starters in MLB in the middle of June, 2012, his story might be the most surprising of all. This puts a ton of pressure on Humber's next outing.

This puts a ton of pressure on Humber's next outing. I'm still not convinced that he can sustain the success he's had. But I'll take whatever he gives us.
June 13, 201213 yr Author QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 10:06 PM) Damn the Tigers are just awful defensively. This again.
June 13, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 13, 2012 -> 11:21 AM) +1.5 on CLE +6 on DET Despite all the angst over Humber, Floyd and our 2-4 homestand (see Greg), we've lost all of 1 game against CLE and the Cubs actually beat the Tigers, which you wouldn't have predicted, anymore than the Reds' bullpen imploding last night. So things are more or less exactly where they should be... Because I know at the beginning of the year, we all predicted Pablo Escobar Quintana would be gunning down Adam Wainright at Busch Stadium in the middle of June with the White Sox in first place by just half a game!
June 13, 201213 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 13, 2012 -> 11:22 AM) Hudson stays alive with big hit. Didn't he do that last week already? 2 more than Alex Rios had all of 2011...joking, sort of.
June 13, 201213 yr QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 10:29 PM) Fun game. Cardinals fans are so friendly. They are one of a kind, I love all of them.
June 13, 201213 yr My sister's fiance's family are Cards fans from Stl, and it just to happens that they are driving up here to the west burbs tomorrow for 2 or 3 days. I hope the next two are as enjoyable as the opener. Peavy tomorrow and then a pitching machine that KW stole from one of those mini golf course & go kart places in the finale.

I have been told by my Spanish speaking sources that Jose Quintana translates, word for word, to "left handed John Ely."
June 13, 201213 yr For those of you who dislike Hawk, try listening to the lame ass guys the Cardinals run out there. They actually said that Orlando Hudson consulted with Jake Peavy prior to signing here since they know each other from playing together in San Diego. I guess they're allowed to make up whatever bulls*** and flat out lie if they want.

I guess they're allowed to make up whatever bulls*** and flat out lie if they want. I heard a different version. Apparently, KW was eating breakfast and he consulted his Alpha Bits to see who he should sign to fill in for Morel. When a series of O's popped up in his cereal bowl he knew he had to get Orlando. It was later determined that KW was actually eating Cheerios.

Beckham was out at 2nd on his hit prior to Dunn's AB so bases were empty.
