what the hell is going on

It’s like we stopped hitting after the comeback Saturday

We lost the underdog mentality

All of that fight we loved so much in April seems gone. Add to that the fact that when it comes to fundamentals, we’re playing some shotty ball as of late

Have not posted in a while but

I have enjoyed browsing this blog for quite some time. This team looks like it needs a day off

Yeah

I’d very much like to see us get him out

Yep yep

Well at least they are going home. I fully expect them to bounce back against the pirates

“With Skip Schumaker batting, Cesar Izturis advances to 2nd on DEFENSIVE INDIFFERENCE”...? That gave me a chuckle.

I might need to move to St. Louis next spring

Chicago has highs in the 50’s to low 60’s for the next week and a half

Just don't head further down the southwest

I got back from Aussie a year and a half ago and have been near Springfield

since I’ve been back I’ve had two huge ice storms, about 6 sets of tornados, a couple of floods

I’d take that weather anyday;)

at least there's no natural disasters in chitown

but the winter’s are truly horrifying. and the summer’s are blazin. extremes in temp going on here.
my dad used to live near Lake Pomme de Terre in MO and narrowly missed a tornado or two

Has anyone mentioned...

that a suspension to Molina means even more face time for LaRue? Is their anyone else we have that can catch?

by bluesfan1 on May 12, 2008 10:12 PM EDT   0 recs

yeah

someone mentioned that. here’s hoping he won’t be suspended

Duncan

If there’s ever a pitcher to help you get out of a funk.

you spoilt me with your RISP goodness.

Is he pitching around Dunc to get to Glaus

That.. would .. be sad.

by AdjustedExpectations on May 12, 2008 10:18 PM EDT   0 recs

I wonder if

it’s time for Duncan to go back down to Memphis and learn to hit again? And to play outfield.

Could that happen?

The time has come for someone to put his foot down and that foot is me

by heathen on May 12, 2008 10:20 PM EDT   0 recs

I think that it would be a smart idea

hope team politics won’t prevent that

by Cards Fan in Chitown on May 12, 2008 10:22 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I firmly believe

we need an injection of some Memphis lovin’. Pitching, Dunc, whichever. We shouldn’t wait to call ups to bring some of these guys up IMO

get an out with his cutter?

by spants on May 12, 2008 10:23 PM EDT   0 recs

At least Albert

got a full day off.

yes

took long enough

how geigh is it

that the Devil Rays changed their name to the Rays? Almost as bad as that whole California to Anaheim to LA Angels thing

by Cards Fan in Chitown on May 12, 2008 10:25 PM EDT   0 recs

if they're getting Mojo from it

good for them. They have an exciting club this year.

by AdjustedExpectations on May 12, 2008 10:25 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

yeah

it did seem to help. it’d be funny if they changed it to Stingrays and played Sting at every game. Though I guess now they could play Ray Charles

Ankiel is Jesus!

by Cards Fan in Chitown on May 12, 2008 10:27 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

No

it’s worse because the Angels are the Angels are the Angels.

by spants on May 12, 2008 10:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

yeah

but the Angels are not in L.A.

by Cards Fan in Chitown on May 12, 2008 10:27 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm just saying

that they changed location name, not team name. It would be like the Cardinals shortening their actual name to Cards.

by spants on May 12, 2008 10:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I dunno

I think it’s a little worse to fake the location of your team. team’s change their names fairly often. but Devil Rays sounded a helluva lot cooler

Ankiel is Jesus!

by Cards Fan in Chitown on May 12, 2008 10:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Has their hat changed because of the locale name change?

What about the uni’s? Nope and nope.

The Rays have a whole new look to go along with their shortened name. No new owners. No new stadium. No new location. Just a new name.

by spants on May 12, 2008 10:35 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

yeah

it is pretty geigh. although our opinions are slightly different (just hate it that they changed their name to LA Angels purely for marketing purposes, it’s cheating). I hope the cardinals whoop their arse for the name change.
