In fact, I think it’s too good right now. He’s hitting 94-95 on the gun, which means he’s got a live arm. That’s not necessarily a good thing because you sometimes lose your control if you’re throwing harder than you normally do.

LOBSTERFEST

The Cardinls have never gone to a World series in a year ending in 9. Every other year they have: 1930, 31, 42, 82, 43, 34, 44, 64, 2004, 85, 26, 46, 2006, 67, 87 , 28 & 68. But no 9s, Could this be the year?

A bunt grand slam!

The Cardinls have never gone to a World series in a year ending in 9. Every other year they have: 1930, 31, 42, 82, 43, 34, 44, 64, 2004, 85, 26, 46, 2006, 67, 87 , 28 & 68. But no 9s, Could this be the year?

I just saw the problem

Welley is with the team

"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. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."
