but the ‘stache is definitely making a comeback. I started this “mustache contest” thing to coincide with my department’s annual chili party and it just turned into something ridiculous.
I think you’re right though- people will rock the ‘stache, but include something else (e.g., tiny piece of beard, sole patch, etc.). I say – and our contest rules agree with me – that it doesn’t count as a mustache unless it’s completely unattached.

funny bit
from the Cards MLB site:
A recent trend has overtaken the St. Louis starting rotation — the mustache. La Russa said he didn’t care about the facial hair experiment, saying all he cared about was what happened on the field. “The better the pitch, the better it looks, that’s the rule of business,” La Russa said. “[Tuesday] night I thought [Adam] Wainwright looked gorgeous.”

Good win for the Cards
Lets annoy the Cubs for awhile with these beautiful mustachios.
I wish Mo would just come out and say we are not getting Halladay.
The slim chance leads to day dreaming. I wonder if we could get our impact bat in this deal as well?

Say what?
We would in no way invest in more pitching. We would, even though most will be lost to Rule 5 eventually,
defame the minor league program just to win for a year. Let it go. Its just fantasy. Just hope that no one in our division gets an idea.
WTF does this even mean?
“Just hope that no one in our division gets an idea.”
Like, any idea at all about anything? An idea about trading for Halladay? An idea about robbing our farm system as we defame it while trying to win for a year?
I swear to god, my head just about explodes every time you post, Opera.
Goody
There isn’t going to be a trade for Halladay. All of the precedents have already been set. If you don’t recognize them, study the last 12 months of Cardinal history. We are changing to a farm based organization. Hoping DeWitt gives away money is one thing. Hoping he gives away his business plan is a fine wish indeed. The Cubs new ownership may have a play. The Brewers? Have no idea. We need to have a RH bat so that were not aced by the Manny Parras of the world. Hope for that.
You carped about Lohse not getting an extension
and then he did. The facade of inside info is boring.

The family that pays 900 mill for a baseball team

I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hope he doesn’t. Why not drive the price up for the Phillies or Mets by posturing as much as possible, even if he isn’t seriously interested?

Wins! He doesn’t have many wins and just look at all of those losses!
Jo-el has been amazing this season. If we can somehow get something instead of the Wellemeyer/Thompson spots, I’d be freakin’ thrilled with our pitching staff.
For your night time consumption
If the Cardinals traded for Freddy Sanchez.
If Troy Glaus Returns.
If Mark DeRosa returns.
Vs LHP
Sanchez – 2B
Glaus – 3B
DeRosa – LF
Vs RHP
Sanchez – 2B
Glaus – 3B
Skip – LF
If Glaus doesn’t return
vs LHP
2B Sanchez
3B Derosa
LF Skippy
If DeRosa and Glaus doesn’t return
vs RHP
2B Skippy
3B Sanchez
LF Whoever
I dunno, if we traded for Sanchez and got Glaus back, we would be able to increase total wins on the team by replacing Ankiel/Duncan with Skippy in LF and Skippy at 2B with Sanchez. Sanchez also gives the flexibility to play 3B vs RHP should Tony keep Skippy at 2B, which gets the hell rid of Joe Thurston.
There is a salary bail in this
but Toronto is trying to run a business. They are just saying we can’t win now. They will wait until they get hope for their fans in future years.
Lopez got along fine with Albert
How about Shu to left Lopez to second, Move Rasmus to the five hole. Thats probably achieved with AA prospect and the salary attachment.
felipe lopez is a good name to keep an eye on. i will confess to being too harsh on him
in the off-season. i think he’s still benefiting from his .355 BABIP and his defensive stats are better than his history. on the other hand, he’s always been at least serviceable at 3b, which is where he’d make sense.
another ex-card name to keep in mind is russell branyan. both could be valuable “down the stretch” folks with good bats and at least serviceable defense. branyan is a much bigger stretch at third than lopez — he would provide comparable defense to thurston.

Pujols > Branyan
in fact, judging by the last time I saw Branyan in a Cards uni:
Ankiel ≥ Branyan
or so goes my biased opinion…
R.P.O.F.Y.M.
i really like ankiel
but i fear him done
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
Question for you HC
At what point do you think Glaus makes a decision about his future. He won’t show before the deadline which makes him a FA. If the Cardinals take control of the division, are they going to invite him to cherry pick a few at bats in the playoffs for his 2010 resume? If he looks bad on a return, it will hurt him next year money wise.
I like your thinking
but I doubt they will part with ank or dunc much less both…
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
team would increase wins by ridding itself of Ank and Dunc and putting in Fredbird and Ernie Hays

or one poor at-bat away from Tony’s dog-house.
I agree with YOU, but I suspect Boog is probably starting at SS these days by default.

At this point there's a question to be asked.
Did Shelley and Chris have an older brother? A first born? Has he been seen since birth?
On days like this I have to wonder if a young child might have been sold. After all, this is ridiculous. Not Albert ridiculous. But ridiculous. Also, I’ve never seen Dave Duncan smile. I think during the 2006 world series pile-up he was in the dugout frowning.

Of course Dr. Paletta will clear her in the morning as a precaution, so it totally won’t take 6-8 weeks or require a DL stint, at all.

Oh, I don't know about that....
my 16 year old son thinks she’s just “So awesome for a pretty girl, mom.”
His heart would be broken. (My other sons like her a lot too.) I don’t think they care much about what she says. They just like to look.
Eh, I thought I taught them better-ESPN programmers are smarter than I am.
She isn't crazy, she's just not impressed.
Boggs went 8 and only gave up a run tonight...
Wallace was 2 for 4 with a couple RBI to get his average back above .300 in AAA.
Mind you it’s his first good start in awhile, but isn’t it time to give Boggs another look in the Cardinal rotation? He was decent early on, and he absolutely can not be worse than what he’d be replacing in Wellemeyer.
V, b.
Makes sense to me...
also it’d be nice for him to have another quality start with the big club to make him more appealing in a trade – of course, this could also have the reverse effect if he gets rocked.

It looks like he has good stuff, at least from a tv camera perspective. If his approach is at least serviceable, I see him as a quality 3-4 starter.

call me crazy, but...
I think this is THE year that we KNOW the cardinals have a shot at making a run for a title. Carp is healthy and Pineiro and Wainwright are pitching like aces as well. Pujols is having an absurd year even by his standards. If we get the lineup cleaned up a bit or add Halladay this team could be unstoppable down the stretch and thru the playoffs. If it means sacrificing a future #3 or #4 starter to win a WS, then its really a no-brainer.

If you're serious...
Sorry. I was just trying to make the point about Wellemeyer. I was just mentioning Wallace as a side note…
V, b.
too bad the Cubs
didn’t play today AND lose by more than two runs; if so I could have pointed out the sorta surprising fact that only five of the 16 NL teams have a positive runs scored differential.
Which is another way of saying that with today’s 5-1 loss, Milwaukee became the 10th NL team to dip below even in the seasonal runs scored / runs given up category.
The Cubs remain at + 2 however, so there are still six teams on the plus side.
Three teams have cracked the century mark, Dodgers on the plus side and Washington and Sad Diego in the negative.
He doesn't look sad to me...
But judging by the “Let’s Party!”, he’s probably just drowning his sorrows somewhere…

Then after today, it seems Brandon Inge has been voted into the last spot. At Busch. With Albert and Yadi in the lineup. Hooray errors!
