come on Cards scrubs
please don’t be terrible!
I have a love/hate relationship with the Cardinals' middle relief corps.
C’mon you Redbirds
Please don’t just play out the string

Go...
Pujols, Ludwick, Wainwright and a bunch of other guys I don’t really care about!

I just can't stand when Hrabosky compares the old time pitchers to now
“Todays pitchers don’t have fastball command”. Yeah the only reason you notice anything Al is because if you make a mistake to hitters now it’s more likely to be a bomb not a double.

earlier in the week, they had a USA flag design in the StL on the cap
in memory of 9/11
maybe they’re still wearing them
no TV here, so I don’t know

But all the teams are wearing them & there’s no flag on the cap.

The flag looks like it's in the logo on the caps.
It’s for “Patriot Day” – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Day
Or, I guess for baseball it’s Patriot Week.

just one game at a time boys... starting today
When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom
at first i thought phelps in right and lud in left
was the only quirk in the lineup, but now i see larue is “second leadoff”
i feel bad that i feel bad when it works out because it just encourages tlr to contine his “adjustments”
"No matter where you go, there you are" Buckeroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension
i like it
i’d lke to see him bat yadi there. It would cut way down on the GIDP’s.
"All I am saying is give Freese a chance!" -- nmstar
if you are going to have pitcher 8
then yadi makes some sense. just not a fan of the pitcher 8 lineup

ho hum, just another single & RBI

I remember, right after we signed Lopez...
that LaRussa and Mozeliak both referred to him as a + defender
he hasn’t seemed that way to me
My first memory of Cardinals baseball is seeing Darrell Porter jump into Bruce Sutter's arms on October 20, 1982!
has he ever been anywhere close to a + defender?
i can hardly believe that he has been
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
call me crazy
but Floppy should be starting at 2B, at least over AK
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
I wish
But if we can only choose 1 loser, I wish it to be tOSU, just the shut up the the OSU grad in my office.
BTW: What are they putting in the water in Ohio? First Greg Oden looks like he’s 35, now their QB looks like he’s at least 40!

What the hecklings
How did we fix Lopez’s bat? He’s already hit more homers with the Cardinals than he hit with the Nats.
apathy with the Nats
i was shocked when he basically admitted that on one of the FSN pregame shows this week
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
Albert is trying to pepper that giant hole on the right side
1/3, dragging down the batting average.
i thin k floppy wanted out of dc
and decided to do it the hard way, ie, by being bad enough to get cut rather than good enough that somebody would come after him
kind of what worries me about keeping him
"No matter where you go, there you are" Buckeroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension
if Floppy will take <$5M
he’s a GOOD replacement for AK
Proud sponsor of the Official 2008 StL Cardinal theme song: "Beautiful Day" by U2
that will be a sticking point with the cards
they won’t pay spiezio2 or a second baseman 5 mil, which is what i think he is getting now
plus not likely if they can’t unload ak
"No matter where you go, there you are" Buckeroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension
anything more than 2M base is crazy
he is the prime example of an incentive based contract for next year. It has been years since he has had a decent season, he should have to prove he can do it over the course of a full season before anyone gives him close to 5M.
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
Making $4.9M this year
http://www.kffl.com/player/5402/mlb. We’re on the hook for $4M for AK.
Proud sponsor of the Official 2008 StL Cardinal theme song: "Beautiful Day" by U2
if they cut loose AK
I will cut them a little slack next season. At least it would be progress
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
Yeah....
doesn’t anyone remember Pineiro?
People revert to mean by doing better,not always the other way. Lopez was worse than career norms for most of the year, after his recent hot streak with the Cardinals, he’s now right around them.
Does that mean he was fixed when he came to the Cardinals? No, it just means things are evening out for him. Would he have done it in Wash? Who knows, but probably….
Felipe Lopez - next year's Joel Pineiro
Not that it matters
but where is Dan?
Mind you I didn’t think I had enough intrest to even ask the question.
yep
makes the rolen for laroche talk earlier seem a like a dodger fairy tale rather than a cards fairy tale
"No matter where you go, there you are" Buckeroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension
no kidding, I mean he had a good minor league OPS and stuff but come on....
This is all he can muster in 173 AB’s…..
I was wondering if he was hurt or something.
ouch
he shouldn’t be feeling too good tomorrow, we might take 2 of 3 from the Bucs

has a lifetime average of 367 against us

and he should have walked
clearly the ump decided before the pitch to ring him up if he didn’t swing

wow

michaels screwed out of an at bat there.
Good for us, but that was atrocious umpiring.

FSN Pitt said he got tossed too
how bad was it?
perfect, a lefty’s in & now we won’t score another run tonight.

first one was a little bad
second one was worse
third one: Michaels was right " it was this ’ ’ fucking far off the plate. (not to scale)

glad to see it is equal opportunity suckage
I haven’t seen any worse of a series of calls all season long. That was a terrible fucking job of umping (thank goodness)

HL Mencken
haha.. umpire punched him out and threw him out nearly simultaneously
When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom
AL was right
I think the Ump made a terrible call on purpose, so that Jason would argue, so he could toss him. Pathetic!
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
yea, but i vote true on that
"No matter where you go, there you are" Buckeroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension
yeah
michaels did the “step towards first on a walk before the ump calls it a ball” thing after balls 4 and 5, which apparently made the umpire mad.
I really, really hope they send the video of that to MLB and get that guy sanctioned at least, because that is not acceptable behavior.
"All I am saying is give Freese a chance!" -- nmstar
wouldn't it be nice
if the Umps actually had to pay the price for this kind of crap.
I swear about half of em would be fired after this year if they had real fuckin jobs
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
And seriously, what is the point of that?
He was a pinch hitter. He pinch hit already. He’s out of the game anyway, no?
Probably mad at something he said to him4 years ago or something—waited all of this time to get back at him.
Don’t get me started on umpires……I especially love floating strike zones, and too many of them have one to chalk it up to having a bad day.
She isn't crazy, she's just not impressed.
what amazes me is that they get away with it
does anyone ever hear of an ump that gets sanctioned for it?
I don’t even see how there are enough good ones to qualify for the playoffs
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
It amazes me too.
I haven’t heard of any umpires being sanctioned this year.
Last year one got in some trouble over starting/escalating Milton Bradley’s blow up in San Diego.
That’s all I can recall. I think MLB has a hands off policy. They just put them out there and don’t give it another thought.

within striking distance of he magic #15!
"No matter where you go, there you are" Buckeroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension
yeah, but we're either going to have to totally tank
or a couple teams will have to excel. DET, CLE, ARI and TEX are all 6-8 games worse than us, and we’ll have to be worse than at least one of them to be #15. And that was before tonight- CLE lost 2 games today and TEX lost one, ARI is losing, etc. We’ll also have to be worse than the dodgers, yankees, and marlins, though they are only 3 games worse than us now.
Best case might be a 2 or 3 way tie for 15…

I think this is what we can expect from a healthy Ludwick.
He produced at this type of level in 07, and followed it up with a great 08
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
hope you are right
but as the season has gone on it seems they change their pitching pattern to him and he takes longer and longer to adjust and it looks like part of that is his swing is getting long again.
"No matter where you go, there you are" Buckeroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension
quite possible
but I think his season could have been even better if he would have had a constant place in the lineup all season. I just think he has done a fine job of adjusting,maybe that is just rose colored glassed though.

after tonight
his FIP is down to 0.41. If he had struck out one more batter this year, he’d have a negative FIP.

I hope you're kidding
7 2/3 innings from the bullpen and only giving up 1 run is pretty good for any bullpen let alone this one.
Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me......with nothin'.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

If the Pirates are going to dominate us this year
Couldn’t they at least do it wearing their snazzy old-school uniforms. At least that would make it more entertaining.
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
So is Chipper really hurt or is he not playing so he can win the batting title?
I see he didn’t play in their double header today. I know Chipper is pretty banged up, but it will seem kind of weak to me if he barely plays the rest of the season so he keep his average above Albert’s. Albert needs to get a few more 3-4 days soon to stay pace. Put a little pressure on ol’ Chipper.
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
So, no Hardcore back from the game yet, I see
Seems to me he’s has a hard time holding leads.

I did not mind that hit and run call....
It’s not like you sit there and let Brendan Ryan try to hit an extra base hit in that situation. Brendan Ryan is horrible offensively and the Cards were hit less for like 6 innings at that point. Something had to be done.
you can blame it on me
i left after the 11th to go see nightwish/sonata arctica.
nightwish brought new meaning to the term “value over replacement vocalist”… tarja, where art thou? I left in the concert equivalent of the 4th inning; the new nightwish singer was so bad that the though at least SA was good.
Was nice, getting the text message letting me know the pirates won again. At this point it isn’t even painful, just kind of funny.

No offense, but....
I have no idea what you are talking about.
Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me......with nothin'.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
What gets a manager fired?
5-14 in 1 run games since July 1st?
8-14 over the last 22?
Complete collapses in September 2006, 2007, 2008?
Willie Randolph wishes he’d get that kind of job security.

*yawn*
Take away any teams two best SP’s, starting 3B, two of their top 4 OF’s, and their starting C for awhile, and you’d see that it’s not easy to win that way.

Yadi's been gone for 4 days
Glaus for even less.
Don’t try to put it all off on injuries that happened in a week.
Carpenter was never here this year. Wainwright was gone for a good chunk of the season, I’ll grant you that.
It was Tony’s choice to play Rick Ankiel hurt. Who was the other of the Top 4 OF’ers that was taken away?

And we've been in the playoff RACE.....
Up until the last week or so. If I had said that at the beginning of the year, you’d have taken it.
Carp was expected back. Not getting him back is a bad as losing someone we already had.
Tony’s choice? I’m sure he had advice from a doctor. It’s just a weird injury, that hasn’t gotten better. It should have. It didn’t. That happens.
I’d argue that Mather is our 4th best OF the 2nd half of the season, and if not, I could definitely argue that it would have been Duncan had he been healthy. So actually, I can argue that we lost 3 of our top 5 OF’s.
