I’m excited that I dont have to listen to Al

We need a win here!
10 run Monday?
Lineup looks good enough.
Wolfe is a LHP. Were good against these types, right?

Kazmir-Zambrano was Jim Duquette's trade
Duquette was Phillips’ successor.
According to Wikipedia, Phillips traded away Jason Bay for Jason Middlebrook and tried to toss Reyes into a trade to the Indians for Roberto Alomar.
He took on the contracts of Mo Vaughn, Alomar, Mike Bordick, Rickey Henderson, and Jeromy Burnitz. Combined age of 9,320.

I also love how Steve Phillips seems to hate young players, b/c OH GOD, they may make mistakes! You may have to teach them baseball at the ML level! OH GOD! After all, veterans NEVER make mistakes!

difference between carp-not-at-his-best and bad pitchers?
carp misses down or out.
by longhornscardinals on Jul 27, 2009 8:16 PM EDT up reply actions
eh?
going against a great team with a miniscule strike zone he gives up 1 run through 3 and 2/3 (so far…?) and the 1 run is consequence of a wild-pitch…

carp off his game
is still 10 times the pitcher of wellemeyer

Carp could pitch left-handed
and be 10 times the pitcher of Wellemeyer.

Does anyone have the ustream link?
I tried getting this game through atdhe.net, and I got it, but then after a few seconds it said I have to watch the game on ustream. I just don’t know what channel to go to. Anyone?

Definitely.
"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
does anything come of it?
I can’t imagine it does. as people like angel hernandez are still in the league
They ran off
a bunch of bad umps awhile back. Basically, there is a lot of jockeying for position and political struggle among umpires and between the umps and MLB. Better umps get better gigs – like the advanced rounds of the playoffs. They stand to earn more money if they umpire better.
Every baseball fan should read this book.

I wish Randy Wolf was a Cardinal
didn’t we almost sign him a couple years back but he wanted to play in Cali?
passed up the chance
just like o-dog
"No matter where you go, there you are" Buckeroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension
there is no way they were going to give up their first rounder on Hudson
I’ll gladly take Shelby Miller (if we sign him) and Skip Schumaker at 2nd, then Orlando Hudson
i'm almost positive Wolf wanted to play in California and that was the reason
O-Dog would’ve cost us a draft pick, so I don’t blame them on passing him.
So basically he cost us Shelby Miller, correct?
Yeah, I’m fine with passing on that. In retrospect, of course
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
