Box Score Bytes - Game 82

- Game 17 of the Great Tracy Experiment (or maybe yet the Great Train Wreck?): Record 6-11.  Hey on the bright side the record since starting this experiment is better than before we started it!    At this point I would say that the book is out on Friedrich.  Crafty lefty started with a fairly good record (4-2) but has lost his last 6 decisions.  Went 4.1 innings last night, threw 89 pitches (?, what happened to the 75 pitch limit), and got the lost.  Gave six runs and that was the ballgame.

- Cardinals have Rox number has they have taken 11 of the last 14 games.  Must be the Holliday Curse...

- Part of what makes this year so maddeningly is that the hot and cold nature of our offense.  At times we are beast and at times we are not so much.  In the last 6 games Rox have scored a whooping 13 runs.  If we can't score runs that just makes our pitching that much worse...

-  Of the nine runs Rox scored in the series, Colvin had three homers and knocked in 7 of those runs.  Can we clone Colvin?

- ESPN has a nice up front look see at the underlying numbers...this is so much our season...
