couldn’t we dangle one of our relievers out there and see who bites?

Holy crap...
People are paying double to see Stephen Strasburg pitch and tonight the team pulls the old switcheroo
Brilliant!
Fire La Russa!
Personally if I paid to see Strasburg and ended up with Batista...
I’d demand a refund.
Fire La Russa!
Unalloyed joy!
I get to watch two Cards games on two nights, a rare treat for a West Coaster. Also 4:10 start, which allows lots of time to go out and celebrate a victory.
"They punched me a lot," Holliday said of the celebration [after his July 18 walk-off single]. "But they were good punches."
i hate 6 PM starts.

Whoops, not Santana tonight.
Sorry everyone, I don’t know why I thought Santana was pitching tonight. My mistake.
Semper fidelis tyrannosaurus!
OT, but has anyone noticed how well Jimmy Edmonds is doing?
a .377 wOBA and 2.5 WAR already.
His BABIP is a little high, but he’s hitting line drives at a 28% (!) clip, so it’s not luck.
I’m glad to see him still doing so well.
And a gwrbi!
"They punched me a lot," Holliday said of the celebration [after his July 18 walk-off single]. "But they were good punches."
Yeah, I'm happy to see him succeed.
Shame it had to be with the Brewers, but… at least they’re not contending I guess.
אנא טוני לא יותר ט.א.ס.ס
Yeah, they're out of it, so I don't really mind.
I’m just hoping he finishes strong. Each extra good season he has helps his HOF chances a little.
he had a game winning homer yesterday
vs. bronson and the reds in the 8th inning

Ahh
I can understand getting mad at the out, but that had to be on the third base coach….or maybe Lopez doesn’t listen to Jose
I am pleasantly pleased, thankyouverymuch
I don't really mind him going there
If he holds, they throw out Holliday at first, and we have second and third with two outs instead of first and third with two outs. I’d send him and hope for an off-line throw or something.
wtf?
why the hell are we running on contact with one out in the first inning? really, oquendo?

I really, really hope...
we don’t bother with Stephen Drew.
First of all, he’s a Drew. Second, he’s well established as a 270/330/400 guy. Third, he’s not above average defensively. Fourth, he’ll cost $5-6 million next year and $8 million the year after.
If we’re going to ship away prospects we need someone who genuinely moves the needle, like Holliday or Oswalt.
Fire La Russa!
given all that,
i dont think it would take too much to get him. and honestly, that would be a pretty good upgrade over what we are putting out at short now. ideally to me, we have freese/drew/lopez/pujols across the infield. we cant continue to get next to nothing out of the MIF.

may have been covered already,
but wrt rasmus sitting, i thought this was interesting. from goold:
NEW YORK — Manager Tony La Russa said there’s little more to Colby Rasmus’ ongoing funk than a young player learning, and that it’s still important to get Rasmus playing time even while Jon Jay has made it impossible to ignore his production.
“The way he’s going now, wherever you put him, he’s been a plus,” La Russa said of starting Jay in center and batting him No. 2. “He’s still earning his stripes. I don’t want to make any claims about playing time. We’re in a stretch … where the guys who give the best chance (play).”
In this case anyway, I agree with tlr.

He went to Breese Mater Dei HS in Breese, IL
Apparently, Heisenberg played against him. I know the area, a lot of good ball players come from over that way.
You're the fail to my win?

I'm thinking
when he grew the stache, his wife tried to sneak up on him with scissors.

so I'm thinking the Rox fans won't fall all over themselves for Larry Walker
should we spearhead the Walker for the Hall campaign?

We can give it a shot anyway.
The Rox fans ought to carry him in on their shoulders for all he did for them.

I seem to recall
on their 10th anniversary there was no invite for him. instead he was in the Cardinals dugout as a coach.

Heh -- TCM is showing The Winning Team, the Alexander story.
It’s been fun seeing footage of all the old ballparks, some old Cards like Peanuts Lowry. Now it’s the famous WS against the Yanks, where the Cards were supposed to lose four straight to the Bronx Bombers. Reminded me of the “Tigers in 3” crap.
"They punched me a lot," Holliday said of the celebration [after his July 18 walk-off single]. "But they were good punches."
seriously? buster posey for ROY?
he’s played in FIFTY FUCKING GAMES!

If he maintains his performance, he sure as hell deserves it.
A wOBA above .400 usually raises some eyes.

He was called up before Strasburg was
He’s putting up a .400+ wOBA at catcher. He’ll have played in 100+ games by the end of the year (if he doesn’t get injured).

he's not gonna keep it up
he’s a damn good hitter, but he’s not a .417 hitter. that .417 wOBA comes with a .381 BABIP on only 20% LD rate and 17% HR/FB
he’s currently only matched his career high MiL BABIP and that was over only 200 PAs. he’s probably going to be a special hitter, but he’s not as special right now as he looks
