may not appreciate the comparison to Adam Kennedy’s swing.

Kind of strange

to use the LOOGY before bringing in K-Mac, who has few problems with lefties.

Suppose Fielder is not your common lefty-handed bat, though.

i dont follow your logic

Dewitt has been part owner of the rangers. before he bought the Cards, tried to buy the reds from marge schott, but bud wouldnt let him. he made her sell it to her dead husbands business partner

then with this current group, he was finally able to buy the Cards.

what free agents would you have had the Cards get this past off season? it was a down year for illegitimately good free agents

Bill Hall just reeks of ‘punk-ass’

He’s still only hitting like .215 right?

why couldn't they keep hitting like Hall & Oates

not early 80s Hall & Oates though, those guys could hammer out the hits then

by mattyfrommo on Jul 22, 2008 10:36 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Both of their last hits were major mistakes, up in the zone

you would think that with all of the free swingers on the MIL club they could get more outs, especially to guys like Weeks & Hall, with pitches in the dirt…the Cards just havent figured t out yet
