PrintThanks to the Cardinals, for a supremely exciting season. Thanks to The Best Commenters in Baseball and to Chuck, the red baron, and azruavatar. But thanks, most of all, to these guys.
It's been a great year. Hot Stove League starts tomorrow.

RIch Harden for closer
Now THAT is a fantastic idea…
"The Cards lead this game tied 1-1." -Mike Shannon
Cubs fan checking in...
Rich Harden has said on a number of occasions that his shoulder does not recover quickly enough to pitch in relief — unless you want a closer who can only pitch every 4th day.
If you want him as a 4th (or, better yet, 5th) starter…
He’s filthy when he’s on, but you need to have a good bullpen behind him since he throws too many pitches and needs to occasionally skip starts. If you have 2/$20M to spend burn, you could certainly do worse.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
Yeah, I don't think he's a very realistic solution
It was just kinda going by the SIGN BEN SHEETS meme from this winter on VEB.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
yay Hot Stove
In an effort to try and move on (which won’t be possible the next few days, let’s see what we need for the offseason perhaps. This is a repost :P
#4,#5 starter (Depends where Lohse and Smoltz pitch, Boggs and Hawksworth as well)
3B (Craig, Dero, Freese, maybe even Glaus or outside the organization like Figgins)
LF (Holliday? Maybe outside the organization, Ankiel is also possible :)
Bullpen? (It looked really shaky this year, but maybe Motte, McClellan, Boggs, and the hawk will pitch better. Lefty side is solid)
Extend Pujols, TLR, Duncan hopefully
Solve the closer situation- Can Franklin handle it? I certainly hope so.
Thoughts?
"Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does all the work"
-Mark Twain
yeah, it gave it some definite closure
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
Note...
…I liked Ankiel as a pitcher, WP’s and all, but I just don’t want him on this team anymore. And that’s a sad deal… I wish him well next year, but not on the Cards.

BOYCOTT HASS AVOCADOS
How about his walk-up music?
Q-Tip,
Vivrant Thing
This clip is not titled properly on youtube btw; it actually is ViVrant, with two v’s.
Q-Tip by himself is nowhere near as good as Tribe, but this song is fitting for Boog. I remember he had some rasta-dub sounding song for all of 2008 except for the last day of the 2008 season; when he started in right field (?!?!?!), he changed his walk-up music to this song.
OT: An example of how Tribe is much better than Q-Tip by himself:
Find a Way, with a prominently-featured Towa Tei sample from after Deee-Lite broke up. Towa Tei Technova sample at 1:03

As a side note, (but related to songs played over the PA at baseball games)
Last night, they played Madcon’s cover of “Beggin’” in the bottom of the ninth before our last at-bats. It seemed fitting, and it made me a little sad.

...
4, 5 starter: Boggs will be one of them, free agent as the other
3B: Not DeRo or Glaus. Probably Freese, Craig, or FA
LF: Not Holliday or Ank. Both will be gone. Possibly an FA, most likely someone w/in org.
Pen: Who knows.
Extensions: Pujols is top priority. TLR may be back. I think DD will leave b/c of the Chris situation, childish as it seems.
Closer – NO FRANKLIN! Hopefully a FA, but probably within organization
it'll be franklin
would like it to be smoltz

Well, it was fun while it lasted & it ended too soon, but the Birds had another great
season. It might be bittersweet, but maybe APU will win another MVP & Waino or Carp will bring home the Cy, that along with a couple more Gold Gloves sprinkled in. I tried not to post on VEB this season so I would maybe pay a little more attn. to my family, but at about 80 games or so, I got sucked back in. Just reading the comments along with watching the games on a nightly basis really does make it a little more enjoyable & although Im sure my sprinkled comments infuriate many, its only my loyalty to the Cardinals that makes me care as much I do. Here’s to the 2009 club & here’s to an even better 2010 & being able to watch Rasmussenvonsteinbergerer become a bigger stud!

by peach concrete on Oct 10, 2009 10:41 PM EDT up reply actions
it's a wagon for the band
wiki: Literally, a bandwagon is a wagon which carries the band in a parade, circus or other entertainment. The phrase “jump on the bandwagon” first appeared in American politics in 1848 when Dan Rice, a famous and popular circus clown of the time, used his bandwagon and its music to gain attention for campaign appearances. As campaigns became more successful, more politicians strove for a seat on the bandwagon, hoping to be associated with the success. Later, during the time of William Jennings Bryan’s 1900 presidential campaign, bandwagons had become standard in campaigns, and “jump on the bandwagon” was used as a derogatory term, implying that people were associating themselves with the success without considering what they associated themselves with.

This afternoon my son asked me to make something called a ‘bacon weave’ when he makes his next flying visit from college. Apparently it involves bacon and cheese and nothing else. Anybody know anything about it?
yeah i've seen it, but never tried to make it
i thought it was called a bacon paddy though. although i could be thinking of something different.

got home about an hour ago from an outdoor beerfest in Alexandria, VA. I spotted one Carpenter jersey, once couple in STL hats, ans some guy in a random green/shamrock STL hat. I offered my good feelings and wishes to all of them, then managed to not think about it, just with some blind faith that the Cards would win. That didn’t happen. I was honestly shocked to see the score when I got home.
But its been a fun ride.
i dunno
that doesn’t seem like an event jesus would attend. gonna have to ask for pics or it didn’t happen

it's not if it was a consistent .450 but that .450slg% was three years ago
even this year his slg% was only .406 that’s ok if you’re a middle infielder but a third baseman should be in the .480 consistantly unless you’re chone figgins and steal 40 bags

Slugging is only one stat. OBP and defense are equally, if not more, important
By WAR, Inge…. actually, FanGraphs seems to be down right now, I’ll look back later.
by vivaelpujols on Oct 11, 2009 1:25 AM EDT up reply actions
since it's down i'll give the numbers availabe
Inge last three years -31.5 Batting 7.7 UZR/150 .307 wOBA
Beltre last three years 9.6 Batting 8.5 UZR/150 .331 wOBA
Both are defensive geniuses but Beltre is better with the stick making the difference between the two clear.
And I know you weren’t comparing the two but I just wouldn’t want to settle with inge.
And now a scene from seinfeld
ELAINE: [mind] Who does this guy think he is?
KEITH: [mind] I'm Keith Hernandez.
Yes, I agree that Beltre is better than inge
However, if you have +5 defense at third with a .310 wOBA, that’s basically a league average player over a full season. And this year, correct me if I’m wrong, his wOBA is much better than it was over the previous 3 years. That would be weighted higher in a projection and he would have a better forecast.
So yes, I would want Beltre first, but I don’t think Inge is a bad option. Especially given that he’s younger and may be pretty cheap.
However, I would still probably want to go with Freese/Craig in the end.
by vivaelpujols on Oct 11, 2009 1:45 AM EDT up reply actions
Corrections and things to point out

I would be pretty surprised if David Freese doesn't put up similar production to Brandon Inge next year.
It’ll be like trading for a slightly mediocre glove-first third baseman, without having to give up anything (except the HOFer we traded for him….).

I had to deal with a douchey Cubs fan immediately after the game…too bad it was my nephew. Thought I was gonna hafta disown him, but then I just asked him how much his team cost for that much fail. It stopped pretty quickly.

The thing that tears me as a Real Cardinal fan
is that he is the longest tenured player with this team.
Remember this?
This guy gave his heart and soul for this franchise, and I really am not willing to sell the worth of that short.

I'm not disagreeing with that.....
I’m just saying that the last ten + years of watching this team, Rick has been in that picture. All the hope he’d come back as the Dominant, sick, lefty power pitcher hitter
I don’t know, but I’ve got a soft spot for Rickey.

I'm ambivalent.
Such pitching talent, such hitting promise… And he just can’t put it together.
"I’m going to come after you." - Chris Carpenter
To me there are 2 Rick Ankiel eras
I have somehow, in my most messed-up head, have decided that Rick Ankiel the pitcher and Rick Ankiel the hitter are separate players. Rick the pitcher was awesome and I will always wonder what if regarding the awesome rotations we could have had. Rick the hitter was an different kind of awesome thrill, and the comeback story was great. He had a pretty decent year last year and had a pretty sucky one this year. It’s also possible that the best thing for both Rick and the Cardinals is for him not to re-sign with the Cards.
Really, the only bad part of bacon is that it makes you thirsty . . . for more bacon

i'm serious
i think he should re-convert. that would be some story for a year. might take a cy from carp or waino,

thrive when there is a story swirling, and go flat when the story fades. should have sat him in the bullpen during playoffs rather than on the bench. would have been great.

i'd rather have him at first

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
depends
how badly he wants a big contract, somebody’s gambling on that arm.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
how about game-day hypnosis?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
I think he has a good chance of being a nice buy low candidate next year for someone
really, after his 2008 (he was a 2-win player and I think he only took 400-odd ABs and was injured for much of the year), it’s pretty astonishing how far he’s fallen this year. I don’t think he’s as good as we hoped, but I don’t think he’s as bad as he’s looked either.
The Pirates would be a great destination for him, IMO, so I hope he goes there. Sadly for him, if he was a FA in 2008 he’d have probably gotten a $20m+ contract. Now I think he’ll be lucky to get much more than the league minimum somewhere.

Hey y'all
I had to get away from it for a while after we went down 5-0, but I would like to say that not only has it been a pleasure to rediscover my full-blown love-obsession with baseball this year but I am so grateful that I discovered this community of like-minded and extremely knowledgeable Cardinals fans. It was a delight to lurk here during the early part of the year, start exclaiming about balls and strikes and during the summer, and having someone to talk Redbirds baseball with when I cam back to New Orleans.
It was a great year and I can’t wait to not stop discussing baseball at all this offseason!

Jo-El Piniero
deserves a good sized contract with somebody.
I just hope that somebody isn’t the Cardinals. I’ll be glad if he has success somewhere else but I am not entirely sure I want to keep people like Garcia and Boggs waiting for someone who violently regresses to the mean like he did at the end of this year.
brewcrew!
they should re-sign looper too heh

If looper and Soup hold on for a couple of years they may be able to have all five starters from the cardinals.
Who would be after Jo-El?

Don’t underestimate the following of Cardinal Nation. TBS will miss their loyal following in the NLCS.
From Broadcasting and Cable:
St. Louis continued to be a powerhouse MLB market, as Game 2 of the Cardinals/Dodgers series (won by Los Angeles 3-2) averaged an 18.3 rating in the market, the highest-rated of the six MLB cities in action last night. The Phillies, who lost to Colorado 5-4 in Game 2 Thursday, averaged a 15.2 rating for Game 2 in the Philadelphia market. Game 1 of the Red Sox/Angels series (won by Los Angeles 5-0), earned a 13.2 in Boston and an 8.0 in Los Angeles

I just remembered that Fritz was at the game tonite.
Does that mean we can blame him for this? Can we revoke his game privleges?

What do you guys think of Hal McRae
After this absolutely disgusting and uninspiring performance, do you blame him for it? Doe she deserved to get fired?

BUrn him like a witch
/does not condone burning Hal McRae like a witch.

perfectly acceptable under
these brutal circumstances.

I for one would like to see McRae gone.
And one would think he will be. Someone has to be accountable for the offense and even if Tony stays I would think Mo will be looking for a new hitting coach. There are plenty of guys that can take the job. Something has to be done. I like Hal and respect his career with the Royals but it’s time for a change.

Our offense has underperformed all year
Our plate discipline numbers are awful. Probably.

make sure none are around when you try, but i think he’s just around collecting a check, like pension, we can afford that, but should probably also bring in someone in case a player needs a tip or two. let hal watch the games without being bothered.

Do or do not. There is no try.

Thanks for a great season, guys
this has been the most fun team we’ve had in, well, pretty much all the time I’ve been following the Cards, actually, if you just ignore the last three games. Been a pretty awesome year at VEB too. I shall wear my CheBird tee in the off-season with pride.
Now, we just need to figure out a way to trade Hal McRae for Milton Bradley and we’re sorted.

Can’t wait for that first April afternoon when I get to tune in and listen to Mike Shannon tell me how baseball is back!
disagree. "pitchers and catchers report" is the siren call...
