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

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;)

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?

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

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

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

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

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.

If the defense allows a bsaerunner to advance

without contesting it, it is ruled as defensive indifference and the runner get no credit for a stolen base. It’s a change from the old days when the only way guys like Carl Sawatski could get a SB was when the team was down 6 in the 9th.
