Yeah, starting at 10 I assume.
Al has been toying with Edmonds and the Cubs all night. That was what was behind all that “Cubbies” nonsense.
Now we learn Edmonds is not playing so the texting will continue … and I guess we are going to have to hear about it.
Doesn’t Edmonds have anything better to do? How about studying the opposing pitcher?
not really
he still considers himself a Cardinal. weird uh?
what does it say about the flubs that he’d rather talk to his old team mates & media people than the windy city’s?

I think the FSN announcers are bored
all this inane chit chat
Just another wonderful broadcast from Al and Dan.
It is nice getting the MLB.tv feed because you realize just how bad those 2 are when you listen to other broadcasters.
What is most insane is Bob Carpenter is doing a great job for the Nationals. All they would have to do is offer him the job and he would take it. I don’t get it.
Hey guys I have a quick question...
I am listening to the Cards TV feed and they mentioned that Wainwright is going to throw a change up when he comes back. The thing that seems strange to me is wasn’t he throwing a change up already? I mean an 80 MPH pitch with nearly fastball movement that has to be a change up right? Do you guys have any info on that?
Thanks

11 run in 2 innings for a 4.5 era. no reliever should have an era that high. tony can say what he wants, but a bullpen that ALWAYS gives up runs is a problem bigger problem , though, is that we are more than one position player/hitter behind what the crew has. no way to overcome that by trade or from within by july 31.

Maybe Ank is hurt? I guess Tony is saving Ank, but Miles in left? Why not just let Miles be the Third Base Coach also?
not really
he wasnt that good but labored through five only giving up one run

Mo better either go big or sell
if we just add 1 piddly little trade, then it will be a waste. Trade Ludwick to the Rays for Reid Brignac and one of their pitching prospects

With Posada all messed up
you think we could trade Bryan Anderson to NYY for a pitcher? Hughes may be too much but maybe Kennedy?
nope
they’ll pick an experienced catcher. they are in win now mode
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you haven't grasped the situation!
but for the future
they have Molina but they need someone next season….could we help them with their catchers and us with some pitching? just an idea

It is not just Ludwick.
Mo needs to unload all the waste on this team while it still has some value. Duncan, Reyes, Jiminez … those people need to be gone. The team improves if we part with those guys.
I am fine if we sell this year too, though. Not crazy sell, but a lot of veterans can go. Springer would bring something nice. Izzy may still have some value. Looper should get something decent. All those guys could go.
Springer aint goin nowhere
his kid has to be near one of the hospitals there. I believe he has Autism or something of the like.

same thing came up last year, and the cards said they would do everything possible not to trade him….i’m sure that’s the case if they aren’t in a major selling mode this year
by NorseKaiser on Jul 23, 2008 10:41 PM EDT up reply actions
Then his family can stay and he can pitch here again next year.
Also, Duncan, Reyes, Jiminez might not have trade value, but they need to be gone and Mo needs to find a way to get that done. Reyes and Jiminez cannot continue to pitch endlessly in Memphis and Duncan apparently cannot just be let go of, so he needs to find an acceptable way of getting rid of him.
Call the Pittsburgh Pirates........
Surely they will take Anthony of his hands.They have 3 starters for 5 spots and only one of them is performing consistently well. Seriously, he’d be an upgrade. The guy that is starting tomorrow has an ERA of 19.80 and hasn’t quite conquered AA yet. Grabow straight up for Reyes. Right now. Tonight. They treat him as if he’s not even part of the organization—except they still keep him around-it’s sick.

he's been Aaron Miles? No.
His OPS is like .986 since he’s returned (with a .450 OBP). He’s not hitting homers, but something tells me those will come soon enough, and in abundance.
I doubt it
he goes through these droughts seemingly annually. Then he goes back to a modest pace, but they days of Pujols hitting 40 HRs won’t return.
Not that I don’t mine him putting up a 1.500 OPS, mind you. But he is taking awful swings and in situations where a basehit would do, he is trying to yack it out of the yard…which right now he simply can’t do.
by Hardcore Legend on Jul 24, 2008 3:10 AM EDT up reply actions
I think maybe his bum elbow is finally getting the best of him
and he needs to get something done to it this off season. We all know Albert will play hurt but I am beginning to think it’s really taking a toll on him physically and mentally. I have a feeling Albert will have something done in the off season.

To answer HL's earlier question about becoming sellers
if we get swept by the Brewers…..I still say maybe not…BUT if we lose 2 out of 3 from the Mets and lose one of the first games in the Braves series before the deadline, then I think it will be time to start thinking about next season.
But I also think every Cardinal fan has a right to be royaly pissed at Cardinal management for not trying to fix the bullpen before or even during this Brewers series. Yeah yeah you can say this was a transitional season but the fact that ownership didn’t try to make even one small move to help the bullpen for this important series even if it was for a “cheap” lefty specialist is a slap in the face for the fans who pay the 5th highest prices in terms of tickets to go to a game.
Management’s plan to wait until the deadline to try to do something may be too late…but maybe that was the plan all along…..
After getting swept by the Brewers,
if they do lose 2 out of 3 to the Mets…they need to stop kidding themselves and begin to get value for the chips they have.
Something else I want to get off my chest: HEY HRBOSKY! JUST BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE CLEVER PROPOSING WAINWRIGHT AS THE CLOSER DOESN’T MEAN YOU SHOULD KEEP SAYING IT! This guy never thought Wainwright would be a quality MLB starter, which he has proven that he is one of the elite pitchers in the NL when healthy. He’s young and he is talented. He is the ace of the staff, with or without Carpenter. But Hrbosky keeps talking about making him the closer again. Wainwright was my hero in the 2006 posteason and my son’s middle name will be Wainwright but for fuck’s sake, he wasn’t Mariano Rivera! He got the job done and I will be eternally grateful, but he wasn’t a lock down closer. He gave up a shaky number of baserunners and his ‘out’ pitch is a nasty curveball that can be laid off of much like Cordero’s slider because he had trouble throwing it for strikes.
Wainwright will be a Top 2 vote getter one day in the Cy Young Award, I have no doubt in my mind. But don’t rob Peter to pay Paul here, just because the Mad Hungarian thinks he’s clever. Wainwright should be in the rotation, bottom line.
by Hardcore Legend on Jul 24, 2008 3:15 AM EDT up reply actions
Yeah no doubt
This week we are playing two playoff contenders and if we go something like 1-7 or even 2-7 then I don’t think we are going to be able to overcome that kind of skid and think we can still get the wild card. If our hitters were able to hit Cubs pitching a little better I would be more hopeful since we have quite a few more games left with them…but since the offense seems hides under a rock when they have to face Zambrano & Lilly it doesn’t give me much promise. But let’s see how the next few games go before we fold our tent….
