both him and tim, they left their control back in oakland.
Mark Mulder is, contrary to popular belief, a true Petitian love. Doing well in baseball tends to earn you a powerful case of the lusts from me, but doing supernaturally craptacularly wins you (congratulations!) true eternal wrenching soul-deep love. Witness: my love for Brook Fordyce and Aaron Boone. Mulder so totally joined the club in the latter half of 2005, but really, I'd been hoping that he'd move back into the first category. It'd be nice to see him do well; he's not destined to be a career, long-term love affair of mine , right?
Through two innings of the Cards home opener, which Mulder is pitching today: 41 pitches, 25 strikes, 16 balls.
Cards Announcer: "One thing I've noticed is that he doesn't have very good command of his pitches. Don't think, though, that we went out and got a guy who can't pitch. He's just not hitting his spots today."
It should also be noted that Mulder has, apparently, lost a good chunk of weight this last offseason. Gone is the wee baby double-chin he sported through lsat year, and he's got that hollow-cheek'd look he sported when he was a wee rookie. Most of the burgeoning ass thatkibosh spotted last season is gone too, but it's hard to tell because of the glare.
ETA: Top of the fourth, no outs. Mulder is pitching to Lidle, the Phillies pitcher with respect. Pain. He does manage to retire Lidle and, after that, the 1st and 2nd hitters cleanly, though, but man. I benched Bobby Abreu out of respect for you, Mark. :| Please get your shit together.
