again against behind billy bottom caliber carpenter fall four good guy hall help hits innings runs score timely tying
To fall behind 2-0 and then come back and score two runs and then again to fall back by four runs, making it 6-2, and tying it up in the bottom of that innings against the guy the caliber of Carpenter is a good feeling. We had a lot of timely hits. Overbay and Billy Hall had big nights. Even Cappy had two big hits to help his cause.
bit ended evident help hit instead putting runners runs score struggled struggling takes team three walks
(Capuano) just struggled all day. He could never get it going. We had too many walks all day. We ended up with nine. When a team has been struggling to score runs a little bit like they have, you can't help them out by putting runners on. Then it only takes one hit instead of three to score a run. That was evident in the first inning.

That's one thing about the Cardinals, they're not going to lay down and die. Even after we scored seven runs I wasn't comfortable. They can put runs on the board in a hurry.

It was good to get some runs early. It gave Cappy a little room to breathe out there. He pitched another good game.

I told him I didn't want to take him out of the game. I wanted to give him an opportunity to get through the inning so we could score some runs for him and get him his 18th win. I told him to get after him and be aggressive.
consistent looking offense runs score top trying
We're looking for a little more offense at the top of the lineup now. We're trying to find a way to score some runs on a consistent basis.
against best compete count finds five great pitcher roger runs scoring stuff time ways
You don't really count on scoring five runs against Roger Clemens. He didn't have great stuff but the thing about that kind of pitcher is that he finds ways to compete even when he doesn't have his best stuff. Any time you beat, you've done something.

You really can't count on scoring five runs off of Roger Clemens, but tonight, luckily, we did. Any time you can beat him, you've done something.

J.J. is going to hit some home runs. He's not a Punch-and-Judy hitter. Both of the home runs he has hit (this week) have been big for us.
