I dabbled in pacifism once....not in 'Nam of course
took 2 of 3 from dodgers, cubs lost 2 of 3 against padres, now we face padres for 4 games, cubs face dodgers for 4 games
can we get a few more games ahead? i think so

With the way the Cubs have been on the road
I would be shocked if they got a split, so I say 3-1 Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers. We should at least get a split against the Padres. Pinero and Carp should win, not sure about Lohse, and Smoltz, well, I’m excited he’s a Cardinal.
I think a 7 or 8 game lead coming back from Cali is within reach.

Seems like Smoltz should get a bump from Petco,

The reason Adam Wainwright holds that one finger up in the air when he throws his curve
is so that right after he releases it, he can point at the batter and tell him “I’m coming for you!”

oh that's awesome
so much for “being aggressive”. That’s terrific. I wish they would do that more often.
Um, he nearly walked the bases loaded and was responsible for like 10 baserunners.
His ERA was low but it was all luck.

Seriously you guys
Pujols is fucking good at this game. Let’s never forget, in 2039, when Jim Thurston strikes out to lose a one game playoff, just how lucky we were to watch Albert play this game. Fuck.

try to leg-out a lead off triple with nobody out in the tenth and be gunned at third in the bottom of the 11th of a one-game playoff

took me a while to get it
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
barring injuries
this central is pretty much locked up. i mean, we’ll probably be 8 if not 9 games up at the end of the pads series.
i suppose the cobs could all of a suddne play up to their potential and make it interesting. but that’s unlikely and i think the full potential of the cards > full potential of the cubs
still, wait on the champagne. it’s not sportsman-like
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
So it really sucks that Waino missed out on the win.
Our guy (Carp or Waino) will need a pretty good lead in wins to take it from Lincecum or…or some other guy who might be contending for it…
"Of course Kolby Rasmus was going deep! That’s what Kolby Rasmus does! You don’t give Kolby Rasmus second chances!" -Kolby Rasmus

Since Todd is on the DL
I assume he stays there till Sept 1 then he comes off and into the pen

Hey HL...
not sure if you were gonna mention this in the DFR, but Brett Wallace had a monster game tonight for Sacramento – 2 homers and 5 RBI’s.
Last 4 games he’s 13-20 with 5 homers and 8 RBI’s…meanwhile Mortenson goes 7 IP and allows just one run

Perhaps, but where would Wallace play? I think Wallace's value is demonstrable ONLY if Albert is lost and Wallace moves to first

third base
like where he’s playing now and will play next year for the A’s
and it’s not like they have much better options for first that’re pushing him over to third. he’s just a third baseman
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
for now at least
he probably wouldn’t last much more than 4 or 5 years. but those are his cheap years anyway

… me too. i think he’ll be really cheap, and a decent 4th OFer, plus insurance in case we can’t sign Holliday. i still think his true talent level (when healthy) is .780-.800 OPS with plus defense at a corner position, and that’s a player worth keeping. no reason not to keep him, and it should be cheap. do it.

Can john Mo get some shit done or what ? This 09 cards team is going to the world series …i feel it!
Smoltz deal
seems like a move Jocketty would have done. ML hella veteran, former Cy Young winner, obvious 1st ballot HoFer, huge potential upside, absolutely no risk whatsoever.
Maybe by giving up A LOT?
or just asking nicely. I don’t know.
cheap production > expensive production, but...
expensive elite-ish production > just plain expensive production
I think 6 years of Wallace =/= 2.5 months of Holliday
scales tip even farther when adding Shane and Mortenson.
so you think john mo made a dumb move?
I think we win the national league the next 2 years if we manage to keep holliday and derosa
I saw Mort in person in KC a couple weeks ago
Wallace, I can see missing. Mort, not so much. Maybe that’s not fair to judge him on one game, but he got shelled. By the Royals. Just sayin….
Anyway if we can win a pennant none of us are gonna give much of a damn about Wallace. Prospects come and go but hardware is forever….
2.5 months of Holliday while we have Pineiro pitching like an ace,
Carp healthy, Franklin having the year of his life, Boog’s breakout defensive year, Pujols in his prime and healthy > some amount of Wallace at some unpredictable time somewhere in the future for some unknown length.

smoltz tidbits
14.8% – hr/fb ’09
9% – hr/fb career
3.80 – era zips ros
3.44 – fip zips ros
6.19 – k/9 ’09
this is well better than wellemyer/boggs/walters/thompson. i could actually see it working out. i think his era and fip are pretty unfairly inflated. i still don’t want him in the rotation if we only need a fifth starter like 4 more times all year. we need a setup man more than a fifth starter.
smoltz will be a steal, though. write it down

IMHO
anybody who’s making predictions about Smoltz in STL is crazy….we don’t know how Tony the Fucking Tactical Fucking Genius is going to use him yet…..and we don’t yet know to what extent and in what way his Boston numbers were fluky….
if you held a gun to my head I’d say he’d bomb out of the starter role, but could succeed in the 7th/8th in high leverage situations against righties. Then again Dave Duncan.
I'm treating the two starts as rehab starts
except at MLB level.
Yeah, it sucks. But that’s the only way I can reserve judgment. Padres and Nationals…

oh man
starting Sunday.
Padres & Nationals more or less are AAA teams, so it should be interesting….either one of those lineups lefty-heavy?
adrian gonzalez is in one of the lineups
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
I'd like that shot of Boog getting a pat on the back after his single
Except it’s Dave McKay, and Boog’s bending over.

no comment.
But 6ly, Dave McKay standing real close and whispering in guys’ ears has never gotten less creepy.

you know what they say about back rubs…
So, this year if we make the playoffs
are we going with playoff mustaches or beards?

It gets a bit brisk in October
for a mohawk.
I have to start saving for NLCS tickets in the off-chance we make it there. I’ve been to the last 2.

Boog's V for Vendetta look seems appropriate...

But it is undeniable what the staches
have done for this team.
Look at Pineiro. He shaves his off and BAM, loses his mojo. Todd Wellemeyer never grows one. BAM, he sucks balls.

heck, I'm more worried that Bland Glider will waste away of bacon lung
Immune system is collapsing under the stress.

Assume the Cards attain post season, what is the over/under on Thompson being on the roster? Thursty?

Remember Good Pujols and Bad Pujols
Like, Albert would take a few days off and a clean shaven twin brother would step in and replace him for a few days.
Ah, those resplendent days of Aught Six.

For HCL and aynone else who is still awake, I heard Vinny call Albert's steal tonight. Essentially Scully's take was: just another area of greatness.
Hard to argue that one.

Pretty much
I wasn’t even paying attention to him at first and them BAM, ball game over.

That pretty much shows why
Albert will win his 3rd MVP this year. No player is as valuable to a team as Albert is.
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
Russell Martin must have been astounded as he grounded the ball into center. Even Albert was surprised. . . . but not stupified.
The bar flies and guys in Seattle were cheering, too. I was driven to drink. . .

Pretty much what Vinny said - at least about AP's value. I don't think anyone expected the 3-0 steal, so no backups. . .

A slick Pujols would run
