Hope so
I like the lineup.
Schu – RF
Dunc – LF
Pujols -1B
Ank -CF
Glaus – 3B
Molina – C
Kennedy – 2B
Pineiro – P
Ryan – SS
yeah, our 2-7 suddenly don't look so bad...
what with pujols, ank, glaus and molina all seemingly heating up, and kennedy staying hopefully staying hot.

The key to me is Glaus
Hope last few games were sign of things to come.
Also I like Dunc in the 2 spot. Back to seeing fastballs.
I agree about Glaus
if he can hit .290 watch out

Despite the homer
8 pitch inning for Joe-L. Gameday shows his strikes to LaRoche and Michaels up in the zone. That what happened to Nate?
Cardinals series record
7 wins, 2 losses, 4 ties. Just keep winning series boys, starting with this one today!

The sad thing about McClouth is that the Pirates
seem more than content on actually keeping the guy instead of turning his hot start into very good prospects. Their minor league system is awful and they need a full fledged rebuilding but won’t part with McClouth.

Homerun/Strikeout Ratio
Can someone with a subscription to baseball-reference do a search to find out how many hitters have a ratio greater than 1? Pujols came oh-so-close in 2006 (49HR, 51K).
I know Ted Williams did it four times, Johnny Mize once… (via fangraphs)
"...but If I can do some damage and help my team win, I'm going to stay in there" -Albert
I'm pretty sure Tony Gwynn did it once or twice.
Baseball's only fun if you're playing it, watching it, or thinking about it.
The best Gwynn ever did was 16 HR to 18 SO. I knew he was close.
Baseball's only fun if you're playing it, watching it, or thinking about it.
Ted Williams did it 3 times, but 2 of them were limited AB's.
Baseball's only fun if you're playing it, watching it, or thinking about it.

that ball shouldve been down
but, McClouth made a pretty good play on it.
C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!
We scored one run
on four baserunners (3 hits + 1 BB). The lowest number you could score… this offense is amazing!
"...but If I can do some damage and help my team win, I'm going to stay in there" -Albert
and a lineout from AK

I thought
it was a strikeout with runner safe at first. Which brings up the 4 strikeouts in an inning trivia questions

so what did schumaker do?
Gameday only shows him with one AB. He obviously made an out, but how?
And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...
An idea....
Maybe in batting practice Jose Oquendo can stand on first, Aaron Miles can stand on 2nd and Hal McRae can stand on 3rd so our hitters can practice hitting with runners on base. It couldn’t hurt…
Hope you guys are at home during games
because if you’re drinking based on LOB you’re going to be sloshed. All of those times you made fun of Tony for doing it will come back to haunt ya

So uh...
We’re going to shatter that 15 LOB from yesterday, and do it by the 7th inning!
Ryan Braun
signed an 8yr/45mil contract with MIL. Thats impressive for a non arb eligible player.
C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!
this is the new paradigm
teams are starting to do this more and more now. gives the team financial stability with a core player and gives the player, who at that point is still young and making relative peanuts (relative to veterans, not to us) enough guaranteed money to live on comfortably for the rest of his life. win-win.

From Bernie:
Here’s one from a Cubs’ fan’s blog Out of Right Field: “Signing Jim Edmonds would be like, when Saddam Hussein was overthrown in Iraq, and the U.S. signing the new free agent Hussein to run a cabinet position in the White House. Cubs fans hate Jim Edmonds so much, I AM COMPARING HIM TO SADDAM HUSSEIN, A RUTHLESS DICTATOR.”
Well is he

Cal Ripken
The funny part is I was trying to compliment Cal Ripken, by saying that he can hit a ball 400 feet off a tee and that is what pissed her off. But I think she ranked Cal Ripken just below God and just above the Virgin Mary so …

And Zambrano was not apparently happy with his new teammate. (All kinds of “no comments” when questioned by the media about Jimmy.) Perhaps Z will go crazy – again – and try and slug a teammate, this time, Edmonds. Jimmy would duck, Z would miss, hitting a brick wall, breaking his hand in several places. It could happen!
