PrintCincinnati Reds at St. Louis Cardinals, Sep 26, 2008 8:15 PM EDT
I only got to catch a little bit of Johnny Mozeliak on 1380 this afternoon but there were a few interesting tidbits that I caught (in between the softball questions Bernie and his co-host were asking):
1) Guess who most often came up in trade requests at the deadline. Rasmus? Nope. Perez? Nope. Izturis? I kid. The name most often mentioned was Jason Motte. Kudos to Mo for not biting on a veteran player that probably wouldn't have been much better than Motte.
2). David Freese got some extended airtime. He'll be playing winter ball and there were some questions about what the organizations were given Glaus and Wallace fast approaching. What I found odd about the conversation is that the club lost a 3rd baseman in the middle there. How about a player that hit .312/.370/.530 last year at A+ and .304/.374/.494 at AA this year? I'm talking about Allen Craig of course. Personally, I think winter ball is something of a showcase for Freese who the Cardinals could move without skipping a beat.
As far as the big league club goes there was some hemming and hawing about injuries and what players may come back next year. Truthfully the only storylines that have any play for me over these last three games are 1) the batting title (Chipper Jones has a sizable but not insurmountable lead) w/ just three games left and 2) the Cardinals HR lead (Ludwick-36 Pujols-35) which Pujols has won ever year he's been on the team.
Three games left. Enjoy them while they last.

it would help if Izturis and Lopez could combine for 37 errors over these last 3 contests. That would put my mind at ease.

“I gotta go with Manny Ramirez. What player has meant more to their team than Manny since August 1st?”
“Who cares about strikeouts when you are putting up such power numbers?”
Tim then says to him:
“Ryan Howard has 143 more strikeouts than Albert Pujols. You can’t simply overlook that.”
“If Ryan Howard wins the MVP award, he will, by far have the lowest batting average of any National League MVP.”

listening to dan and al
talk about carp makes me think paletta’s news conference is just a set up for why they won’t sign the pitchers they will actually need. carp’s lack of innings next year will be a surprise to who exactly ?
gotta sign loop i think in order to retain some flexibility to deal with the other positions of need. won’t get loshe, lowe, or fuentes if they are rational because everyone will look to those guys for value, and then their value will disappear in a puff of money.
creative and aggressive is just double talk about taking chances on the cheap, which puts pavano number one on the acquisition list. in the long term, next year is also going to be considered a building year by management. i think this reality is just sinking in to tlr, hence these wonderful lineups

2 Pujols hits raised BA 3 pts. 9 more points to go, so he needs 8 more hits in a row
& that is just to tie. I have not worked out the decimal points.

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it.

what disturbs me is
did ak get in a dog house he could not get out of? was he really injured last year, and hence was doing his best and did not fall off the ability cliff? if tony had not kept him in the house, would he be a lot more valuable to us as either a player under contract or for trading? i’ve just come to have an uneasy feeling about ak being just who they thought he was when they signed him, but tlr’s “need” to play grit led to a situation that had a lot to do with ak ending in this state. i’m not saying he needs to be around next year, but wondering if this was another case of waste.

braden looper
what are the stats for our bullpen blowing looper’s games specifically? Our pen may have made it cheaper for us to get him in free agency by costing him 6+ wins.
Tony addressed that during his post game
and guess what his excuse was for LOOP not having 18+ wins? “there is no justice in baseball.”

Hard to bleed for someone making about $8 million for a sub-500 pitcher

Not to put down Chipper Jones
but I take it that he will not have many at bats in the next two games so he can win the batting title? I see he didn’t start tonight.I know he has been banged up so I guess that’s why he isn’t playing? I don’t mind Chipper winning the Batting Title but it would be nice to see him earn these last few games of the season while Albert is playing everyday.
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
MVP debate
Oh, ESPN stagecraft. It would be cute, except I want to gag that there’s even a debate.

So can the Brewers win one more game against the Cubs
to get into the playoffs for the first time since 1982? I got to hand it to Suppan tonight, he was looking more like the Suppan of 2006 than the Suppan of 2008. This was a huge game for them. And winning the first game of the series takes a BIG monkey off their back. But I still think it will be a tough task for them to win one more game against the Cubs. But winning the first game takes a BIG monkey off their back . The Mets have it MUCH tougher right now. They MUST win the final two games for a chance of the WC. Tomorrow will be a fun day to watch what happens.

brewers have sheets + sabathia lined up
would take a miracle for the mets to make it, now, especially with marquis and lilly pitching for the cubs.

Here's something to think about
Think maybe the Cubs want the Brewers to win the WC so in case they meet in the NLCS there won’t be as much travel for them? I know it sounds kind of silly, but the less travel the better for teams in the playoffs. Plus the Cubs probably feel more comfortable playing in Milwaukee than they would in say New York. I’m sure they don’t care to much on who they face but it makes you think about it.
Also I really wonder how much Sheets will be a factor tomorrow. The Brewers would be wise to only use him for 4-5 innings at most and hope the offense helps him out early.

NO
I think the Cubs want the Mets to win the WC… They ran their Iowa Cubs lineup against the Mets, and every pivotal inning, they threw their worst relievers at them. Then tonight facing the Brewers, they had all their regulars in.. Unless they were just trying to get Dempster another win on the season, it looked like they were trying to give away the games to the Mets (who weren’t taking) while putting up a fight against Milwaukee.
The Mets are the weaker team out of the two wildcard contenders right now.

Sheets is injured
and I believe the Cubs have beat CC twice this year.

and I guess CC will be on 3 days rest
for the 3rd start in a row, so he might be Cc instead of CC…
