I stayed to the end, though.  I'm getting tired of this bullcrap.  In hte last four games I've been to, the Cards have been outscored 7-0 (by Eric f***ing Milton!), 7-3, 16-8, and 8-1.

Carp's going tomorrow.  It'll be better, won't it?  It has to be, doesn't it?

Of cousre, a 12.00 ERA for the pen......

Think they're up to it?

Also, they are probably going to score less than 800 runs this season. You'd have to turn the Wayback Machine to 1997 to find the last time a Cardinal team did that.

Of course, scoring 800 doesn't mean that you can't win anything. The White Sox scored 750 runs last year. It'd be nice if the Cardinals had pitching though.

Listen, I know you're angry, but be realistic--WHO has helped this team during the break? They are ALL to blame. Do you think Pujols has the ability to go 4-for-4 with home runs every time he comes up? Add to that, there's no way he is 100% right now, but he's out there because he feels that he gives the team a chance to win.  Why are you singling HIM out? Why not Edmonds? Rolen? Juan'cion? Looper? Carpenter? Marquis? Weaver? Reyes?

EVERY player, all 25 of 'em, have failed. Have you become so spoiled by Pujols that if he doesn't perform at a God-like rate, he is to be tossed aside like garbage? I'm SO tired of reading you complain about him everyday. WE GET THE POINT. You might be getting tired of him, but there are still fans that appreciate what he is doing, and know that his slump is killing him worse than us.

And get your facts right, chief...he has hit two game-winning homers in the second half. Remember the walk-off? Oh, and he gave the team a fighting chance to win on Saturday with a leadoff single against Dumpster, he tied the game against LA with a home run that the Cardinals would go on to win, and he was 4-for-5 with three RBI's in the 11-3 win on July 16.

"Fans don't care and I really don't expect them to, but since you asked, Pujols is being a jerk.... hostile to everyone. It doesn't matter to me in terms of what I write; I don't care if anyone is pleasant or not. But it's too bad he's back to being surly.

"Yeah, I can be surly....

But there is a difference.

I don't walk around proclaiming I'm a man of God, a man of Christ -- and then treat people like dirt. If you're a man of God, a man of Christ -- well, once you publicly stake out that turf, you'd better walk the walk.
