First!

Must notify the troops in the old thread, I guess.

Maybe it has already been noticed....

but for all the guys watching the game on TV tonight, how on earth is the guy in the red-shirt sitting by the cardinals dugout fitting in his seat. Not to be rude but that guy has to be 500 plus pounds. Just looks uncomfortable.

by Pujols for MVP on Apr 29, 2008 9:51 PM EDT   0 recs

i agree he looks uncomfortable

but as a guy who weighs a bit over 500 myself, that guy looks a lot bigger than me, i would guess him around 600+

Pujols is the greatest Cardinal in my lifetime.

Duncan's AB

Was a pretty good one.

Pujols

only player not to reach base tonight.
this guy is killing our rallys….

That's what the Rockies called Josh Fogg last year

IIRC he went up against some of the big-name pitchers of the NL and did a great job.

Brewers pull ahead

Bill Hall singled in Corey Hart from 2nd to put the brewers up 5-4 vs. the cubs.

what is al talking about?

scott hatteberg is a good offensive player that you want to have on your ballclub? he’s a first baseman with a career .773 ops.

thanks, i’ll take albert. or, hell, skip schumaker.

Does the prospect of a Skip, Rasmus, Ankiel OF

Excite anyone else? The defense would be unreal.

by TheBirds on Apr 29, 2008 10:05 PM EDT   0 recs

i asked joe sheehan in a bp chat

he said cards couldn’t contend in 2008 OR 2009. i gave him 2008, but then said, 2009 you have perez and some other young guys in the pen, garcia, and a “duncan/rasmus/ankiel outfield.” his response was: still no, “and that’s giving you full credit for a ‘duncan/rasmus/ankiel outfield’ being a good thing.”

i’d probably revise to skippy or lud at this point instead of duncan, but i still think that’s a solid outfield.

and for a GM, more importantly,

that’s an almost FREE outfield. Granted, Ank is an FA after this season, but if you can cover the outfield for a few million, and get good play out of it, that leaves a lot of cash elsewhere.

by tom s. on Apr 29, 2008 10:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Problems are elsewhere

Namely the back end of the rotation (and the front end if Carp can’t bounce back) and the middle infield.

that's what he said too.

i grumbled but couldn’t argue.

I am giddy for a Ankiel, Rasmus, Mather outfield. I will be there if it happens in september

by mattyfrommo on Apr 29, 2008 10:10 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Mather

Has looked promising, but wasn’t really any good before last year so who knows. His size is exciting though. Most importantly he’s a righty.

by TheBirds on Apr 29, 2008 10:11 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i always like late bloomers

probably because they remind me of my first girlfriend!

by mattyfrommo on Apr 29, 2008 10:13 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

People have been saying he just needed to grow into his body.

Which I think is a fair statement, that’s quite a body to grow into.

indeed

AK seems to be seeing the ball real well lately.

He’s laying off pitching just off the plate and working the count. If he keeps it up, he could find himself a home in the 2 hole

last year he had a loopy swing that led to a lot of pop-ups.

now he’s kinda rolling over and hitting a lot of singles. Which I much prefer.

Even when we are scoring big...

we are stranding an ungodly amount of people on the bases.

why not pull pujols now and put dunc at first?

I’d hate to see the great elbow collapse happen in the sixth of a 7-0 game.
