| 4.95 FIP | 4.56 FIP |
Blake Hawksworth's been recalled. Interesting timing. He's given up just 2 ER in 11 innings in his last 2 outings for the Redbirds. Mitch Boggs has given up 1 ER in his last 21 IP for Memphis. Hmmm.... P.J. Walters struck out 14 in 6 innings last night. Oh yeah, he also gave up 0 ER. Even Clayton Mortensen...oops...never mind!
Oh year, I almost forgot -- no Rasmus again today. Apparently the sore shoulder that was bothering Ankiel for about 2 months suddenly healed and Rasmus has developed a sore heel. Ironic, huh? I wonder how many 3 K games it's going to take for that heel to heal.

Blanton
The Cards should tee off on this guy. Pujols breaks out of slump with 1HR and 2 Doubles. Offense continues to roll with or without Cody.
Mo, you can trade anything of mine.

Lugo bats like .500 at Citizens Bank
and has batted even better there these 2 games – TLR stated that before the series
he's also vet-tastic and doesn't defend as well as the younger option
both positives in the mixed-up world of Rony LaTussa.

There is no way
LaRussa turns over the fifth spot in the rotation to such unproven pitchers such as Hawksworth or Boggs, especially not in a pennant race. He will ride Wellemeyer off a cliff, still “searching.”

he proves something, all right...
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear." - THT
That's why Mo
has to step in and DFA Wellemeyer
and call up Hawksworth or Boggs to fill the spot.
That way its not up to Tony and his job is made simple.
We got 3 guys who can do the job, one of has to stick.
The poster formerly known as JoeyBombs.
or he should just tell Tony that he is calling up Boggs/Hawk and that Tony is to start him
Mo, you can trade anything of mine.
Welley is at the cliff's edge

what?
why is colby sitting on the bench for a 3rd game in a row. this is not even a lefty pitcher…and why did holliday get the number 15. I realize it probably won’t be retired anytime soon, but do we so soon forget the greatest cardinal centerfielder of all time? could have waited until the man retired at least.
check out my blog: Redbird Ramblings
the number 15 should have gotten some alone time instead of being handed over to the new acquisition...and this better not be an excuse to platoon the helpless dick ankiel with the the big cheese colby!

"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
Ankiel is in the midst of his hottest streak of the year
Even I wouldn’t sit him while he’s getting 3 hits a game
True.
But how much pressure does it take off Colby when the rest of the lineup is mashing? And since we all know Tony won’t put pressure on rookies…

people need to quit complaining. ankiel is bopping the shit out of the ball and raz is resting a sore heel.
by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 26, 2009 1:38 PM EDT up reply actions
6 hits in 2 games
is “bopping the shit out of the ball?”
BTW, nice play Rick in not throwing that ball to 2nd on the sac fly in the first. Terrible play. Wonder if Tony will call him out on it?
it is a real shame that heel hasn't healed since last month
/doesn’t believe the heel story
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
Anyone else see this?
“Cardinals: It appears as though the club is looking to keep new addition Matt Holliday for longer than just this year as Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. told the St. Louis Dispatch that the club is “not looking at this as a one-year deal, I assure you.” Holliday, who is represented by agent Scott Boras, is eligible for free agency after the season."
Yadi swings and hits a high fly ball... Endy Chavez goes back, to the track, to the wall... ITS A GUNNER!! Yadi gives St. Louis the lead in the top of the ninth!
I want the Walrus back...
that's tantalizing
makes me wonder if DeWitt is OK with payroll going up.
Maybe he feels guilty about hosting the ASG with no Ballpark Village yet or something….or maybe he’s just got the same mancrush on Holliday that the rest of us have gotten in the last couple days….
revenue has been better than expected this year
it is possible that the org was playing it very safe, considering the recession, before this season started. i don’t have exact numbers, but i know the team has pulled in more that they were counting on. this could be the impetus for bringing another big salary without the intention of making it a two-month-only deal.
Gammons thinks we can
DeWitt said he would be willing to increase payroll i think

I can tune it out. Rick Horton just drones on and on endlessly. Look, when you’re a pitcher who gets sent out to the outfield so a position player and throw… you blow and have little business talking about pitching.

I have extra innings - No STL broadcast.
How are the Phillies announcers?
Mo, you can trade anything of mine.
ah get over it already...
Ank’s been great the past couple games. Can anyone give TLR a bit of credit when a decision goes well? We sure heap on the abuse when things go poorly…
Acquire Wlad!!!
Sure, I hereby
give him credit for making the obvious move when Rasmus is hurt.
Doesn’t change my well-founded opinion that Raz is the future of this team and Ank is its past.
by MdRedbirdFreak on Jul 26, 2009 1:48 PM EDT up reply actions
good point
after all the last time he had 6 hits over 2 games, he went 14 for 94 w/ a .419 OPS afterward. He’s definitely better than Rasmus.
BTW, it’s ok to criticize Tony on this board.
Not vouching for LaRussa,
But give Ankiel the credit. He is hitting well and looks more relaxed at the plate. Whether or not he deserves the playing time he is getting over Rasmus is a moot point because Ankiel is producing and Rasmus is nursing a sore heel. I think your criticism or LaRussa’s past roster management gaffes is well founded, but guayzimi is right – give ANKIEL the credit. We know the whole “having 4 productive outfielders” is not an actual issue if we ACTUALLY have 4 productive outfielders (not counting April).
let's get it on
I want the Cards to stomp these guys….I think this is gonna be another shootout like yesterday….
this zone looks pretty big

but the fact that when he wasn’t making bad location errors, he couldn’t get a left-hander out from 0-2. That should’ve just been a solo HR.

It would have been nice to have
Carp, Waino and then Pineiro for this series
we will for LA

this MUST be the end of Wellemeyer as a member of the rotation now???
mustn’t it??? SURELY?

I would probably accept a real drubbing if it got rid of welly.

Nope
He’ll be out there again in 5 days against the ’Stros.

Absolutely not

the worst part is
the standing are going to say that the cubs are just a half game ahead of us but in reality they’re 3.

Not entirely true...unless I'm missing some logic.
Assuming we lose today and they win, we will have played 101 games and they will have played 96 games. We will be 2 ahead of them in the win column and 3 behind them in the win column. So technically, in those 5 “makeup” games, they will have to win 3 of the 5 games to keep the lead over us.
When you are a 0.5 game ahead, you are really a 0.5 game ahead no matter the wins and losses. The other team still has to win their games to catch you.
Go Cards!

The only good that can come of this
Is that Mo, LaRussa, and Duncan are hopefully forced to make a move.
Welley’s ERA is going to be sitting around 6 after today.
My KDSK signal
keeps flickering in and out. Just put me out of my misery, lose it altogether, and let’s be done with it.
I'm thinking of Wellemeyer more than Randolph
But, yeah, that’s another good reason

Do I dare suggest...
this is it for welly? I’ve said that his last six appearances.
By the way, this is the sixth appearance out of the last seven where he’s given up more runs than innings pitched.
Acquire Wlad!!!
he's been almost Kip Wellsian in his awfullness.

bold prediction - I think that's it for him.
they just can’t keep doing this. Not even the Cardinals…

hi TBS
My name is julio lugo and i just got a hit while you were talking about shit no one cares about.
Thanks.
Julio.
This is the frustrating part
Sure Stinky gave up 5 runs to the phills, but why can’t our fearsome 3 knock some runs in against Joe Blanton????
by cloistermaximus on Jul 26, 2009 3:09 PM EDT reply actions
omg...though I would never say this...
but Albert is killing us. Absolutely killing us.
Go Cards!

Albert's slump is pre-ASG
Other than a couple of pitchers along the way (Harden, Garland), his at-bats have not looked right.
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear." - THT
Again...
We go through the heart of the lineup and don’t produce a run even with 2 hits.
Go Cards!

How many times do we gotta let this happen before Wellemeyer is no longer our 5th starter?
My god…
I'm the guy that does his job, you must be the other guy.
Boo.. Leave him in! I want to see him throw 300 pitches
by cloistermaximus on Jul 26, 2009 3:28 PM EDT reply actions
Not too much of an exaggeration,
God knows how many times we hear from the coaches and announcers alike, that Welly is a big strong guy that can go out there and throw a thousand innings…….EVEN WHEN HE IS SINGLE HANDEDLY LOSING THE GAME.
Not to pile it on,
But why in God’s name did Tony let Wellemeyer start against a lefty stacked offense in Philly? Seems to be the worst possible scenario for Welly to attempt to right the ship……And all the way we have to watch our fucking lead in the central dwindle away……
(til next season)

The Cubs are in first place because the umps make sure they win close games
They had bases loaded with one out and then the ump completely blew the call at the plate when they tagged. He obviously beat the tag and then on the replay you can see that he never even tagged him.
Reds should be down 1 and still have RISP
