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.
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.

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.

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.
e'rebuilding mang
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.
that reminds me to stop going to future redbirds

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.

I'm with you, HL. You have to challenge him with your best pitch.
Dunn is always a home run or strike out candidate. But he didn’t get through the inning without a run scoring. Just gives field management another reason to try and push him back to Memphis.
I’d still rather see him starting, since that isn’t going to happen I’d like him to go to the Braves-to make my son happy or to Philly, which is my second favorite national league team.

I guess we'll get a good idea just how good we are this weekend

I'm excited
Not too nervous (ask me again around 6 on Friday night) because it’s early, we’re playing great ball, and it’s a good litmus test

Not Quite
With the pitching coming back…We are gonna be a lot better in August than we are now. The Cubs were not banking on us hanging in there.

I'm not so sure
A) Let’s see how they match up against teams that aren’t the Pirates
B) A lot of dudes on that roster are way overachieving at the moment. Lee and Ramirez are always dangerous, but I have a hard time believing that Reed Johnson and Theriot will continue to hit for the average they are at the moment

Well, Reed Johnson is over from the other league.
He might have an advantage for awhile while the teams get to know him. Fukodome has changed everything in that line up, IMO. And Derrek Lee having a Derrek Lee type season.
She isn't crazy, she's just not impressed.
don't fret
the cubs always do all of their best losing in september

I told a friend of mine today that's a Cubs fan
that the Cards may not win the division this year but they will be a bigger problem for the Cubs than the Brewers.
I honestly believe we will finish in 2nd place at worse this year.
Yes I’m biased.

You might be right
Just based on the fact that the Brewers bullpen can’t seem to hold games this year. And if the Cards get just one of their horses back off the DL in good shape and can trade for a MI that can hit..well..youneverknow

Cub fans have been cheering for us to beat the Brewers all season.
“The Cards are just a mirage” is a sentence that’s thrown around a lot at BCB. I’d just love to see that come back and bite them in the ass.

it's hillarious
Cubs fans are always talking like the Cardinals suck, when reality is quite the opposite

That's funny.
But he’s got his work cut out for him. Mr. Harang is a beast; he rarely gets knocked out of a game before 115 pitches or so.
She isn't crazy, she's just not impressed.
yeah
chances are that at least one out of two of their pitching monsters will be “on”

Max Scherzer
is pitching tonight for the D-Backs. replaced Gonzalez in the 3rdwith 2 outs.
so far has been perfect. 2.1ip, 0h, 0bb, 4k.
it’s so great seeing a mizzou boy doing well in his first major league appearance.

I thought
Ward was supposed to be a pinch hitter specialist. Hes hitting 0.

Franchise record on the line today
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=280429124
“The Cardinals, lightly regarded entering the season for the first time this decade, are 17-11 and tied the franchise record for wins in April.”
So if we win today we will break the franchise record for wins in April, who would have thought?
2006 and 2000 are the other teams to get 17 wins in April
More notes from that article:
“Glaus has 12 doubles, tied with Edgar Renteria (2003) for most in April for the Cardinals dating to 1956. He has only one home run, but his 21 RBIs is second best in his career behind 24 in 2002. ... The 2006 and 2000 Cardinals teams also won 17 games in April. ... Dunn and Griffey both have six homers at 3-year-old Busch Stadium, tied for the team lead.”
If our season ends with the result that either the 2000 (DIV Champs) or 2006 (you have to ask?) seasons did I will be happy.
I just cannot be more pleased
with our pitching staff in April.
Now, I KNOW it’s April. But what a great surprise. Wellemeyer? Damn. Lohse? SWEET. Piniero? McClellan? Heck, I didn’t expect all this.
If we can just avoid overworking the bullpen and figure out what to do with Reyes…..
I dunno if Kinney will ever fully recover but I’m looking forward to guys returning from injuries over the course of the year.
If you liked last night's lineup, you'll like this quote:
TLR: “I just think there’s good balance in that lineup. I want to go with it.”
“The thump is spread out a little more.”
Couldn’t agree more Tony! Some people on here bash TLR for his stubborn ways but in all reality, he’s gonna mix stuff around until he finds what works best for this team.
I hope we see the same lineup out there today except Ludwick in for Duncan and Ryan in for Izturis.

need to wake up before I type
Forget what I said…... Tony will figure it out.
