10/06/2005: "The Electric Barton Swamp Gas Test"


Okay, so this is why Uncle Walter traded Daric Barton, Dan Haren and Kiko Calero: Mark Mulder in the playoffs. I'm not saying that a lot of my opinion of Swamp Gas depends on how he performs here--I'm not saying it, but it's probably true--but if he would be so kind as to throw, say, eight scoreless, I'd be happy to let one of the relievers spot him the other one.

Today's pre-game links: Bernie Mik has your usual pre-game look at a starting pitcher without a lot of playoff experience (for us.) Mulder's explanation for his September struggles?

{{customtwo}}Mulder has acknowledged a failure to always be wired in mentally, and he admits to shrugging off his final two starts of the regular season. He was plastered for seven earned runs in 1 2/3 innings at Milwaukee, then came home to walk seven Cincinnati Reds in his final outing. This avid golfer obviously endorses the concept of mulligans.

I don't know that the official Cardinals fan forum will be particularly pleased over admitting to blowing a few games off here and there, but I'm glad somebody at least admitted it. Provided it's not an excuse--and if it is, Mulder doesn't know St. Louis fans well enough. Somebody had to sacrifice another goat to the gods Scrappinerva and Ahustlin' Mazda to make up for that sound bite, no doubt.

Meanwhile, Brian Gunn continues to contribute to the Hardball Times from beyond the blogging grave, and it continues to be good stuff. Among other things, he agrees that Carpenter is better but not all the way back, and he discusses the Padres' defense, which has been overrated, in grand backup catcher fashion, because they can't hit.

Finally, the San Diego Union-Tribune has a more traditional look at their starting pitcher, one-time Rockies ace Pedro Astacio. We've already been over him--scroll down--and if you're looking for quotes from Pedro, be aware that he appears to have taken several correspondence courses with Crash Davis:

{{customtwo}}"Today," Astacio said, "it is a game. Pitch and have fun ... that is the plan."

I'm not going to be able to watch and have fun, so good luck with that, man.

Didn't Carp baiscally admit that he lost his focus in September as well? Of course, with the summer he's had, I guess fans might cut him ore slack than, Mark "We traded three guys for YOU?!" Mulder.

Your site is first-rate I have been reading your guest book from the beginning, page or two a day. Often I have the energy to read and enjoy, but not write (it is difficult to explain emotions). I like the comments in different languages, even though I can read English well, and Spanish a little, and can just understand some of the words in Italian and Japanese. Auf Wiedersehen, hope not for the last time
