man I'd sure like to see us draw more walks
I should look at box scores for other teams. See if there are fewer zeros in the walk column.
Cards are tied for 4th in BB% in the NL at 8.9%
There a few teams bunched up at 8.8-8.9% but Cards are definitely above-average overall.

Let Me Ride is another good pick.
>While Albert Pujols batting, This Signature picked off second. Three out.
For those of you missing Luddy.....
Since the trade, Jay has a higher OPS by about .075. Forgot the exact numbers, but something like .950 compared to .875.
Jay isn’t the problem. Will he regress? Yes. Two hitless games doesn’t make it a bad trade. Hell, SD didn’t even start Luddy today.
guess I don't miss Luddy anymore
I also want to address this... Hi there... What's your name? My name's Heisenberg. You like Colby HRs, I like Colby HRs. We have that in common. I'm a Gemini. Maybe we should hook up sometime. Looks like you need a towel, here have mine. *SCREAM* Oh sorry, I should have gave you a clean one.
where are you getting your numbers?

Because looking at BR, and thinking you were wrong,
I built a spreadsheet, and copy and pasetd the game logs into it, and I have RFL!! @ .259/.397/.466, and JJ @ .289/.356/.378. That’s .862 to .733 OPS. I shall continue beating the I miss RFL drum, thank you very much.

Wow
No sports team has ever frustrated me as much as this Cardinal team.
1.14.10, the day I went green.
See, 2006 didn't frustrate me
I expected them to be bad.
I expected it so much that after the World Series win I was like “what the …..?”
The problem with the 2006 Cardinals
was Izzy. Once he was replaced by Wainwright, problem solved.
Okay, yeah, the offense wasn’t great, but the team was basically singled handedly brought down by one player.
I know, i know. It ain't gonna happen but...
If Cox is on the ML team and playing does it matter if we have an extra option year or not?
I only say this because Larussa was impressed by Cox (tee hee). Is it possible he has had enough of watching Lopez at 3B to ask Mo to pull a Leake?
COX IMPRESSIVE IN WORKOUT
Before he begins his trek to the Cardinals’ Gulf Coast League operation in Jupiter, Fla., 2010 top draft pick Zack Cox, a third baseman, impressed Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and general manage John Mozeliak during a brief workout this morning.
“I’m talking about the whole deal,” said La Russa. “He’s got nice hands. He’s got a storng arm. He looks like a player.”
The lefthanded-hitting Cox sprayed line drives to all parts of the field and hit two balls over the right-field wall.
“Obviously, he held his own pretty well with the bat,” said Mozeliak. “He looked quite comfortable.”
You fit into me
like a hook into an eye

Fuck it.....put him at the hot corner......
what’s the worst that could happen….Play him for 2 weeks , then sit him on the bench if they have to in Sept. No option burned.

I forgot it was a day game
and when I checked scores and saw 3-2 I thought it was a mistake; that was last night’s game. But apparently it happened again.
My question is, should I watch the game on replay or will it just upset me?
Just watch the ninth.

I hate it that
The Cardinals are 5th in the majors in in LD%, but right in the middle of the pack for BABIP.
Interestingly, our pitchers are 5th in the majors for lowest LD%, have the highest GB%, but only have the 9th lowest BABIP allowed.
I blame the GOBs.
The Godfather himself has decided to grace us with his presence. This is his damn house. He sleeps 20 feet away.

finally, something at VEB that's not my fault
Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing can be made
Just wow...
14.1 innings against Dave Bush and Randy Wolf, seven hits, two walks, seven strikeouts.
There are 51 qualified pitchers in the national league. Dave Bush is 49th in FIP, Randy Wolf is 50th.
I really can’t stand this team.
Fire La Russa!
I'm not a fire La Russa guy
I don’t think this is all his fault. (third baseman anyone) But if he fails to make the playoffs with this team I think the Cardinals should move in a different direction.
I didn’t get on base. One time I did (Wednesday) and we scored a run. That shows if I get on base, things can happen - Oilspill
That's kind of a results-based approach...
can’t we look at specific decisions he’s made and come to a determination as to whether they’re smart or not? What if we stumble along like this and make the playoffs b/c the Reds collapse? La Russa’s performance would still be what it is.
Fire La Russa!
nope
allocating change for change sake. Shake things up. LaRussa makes some bad in game decisions but by all accounts he is one of the better mangers in prep leading up to the game.
This team is geared to win this year (and i guess next year too.) If they can’t do it I’m not sure if Tony really is going to be into it again and it may be time to start looking at a long term manager. Tony isn’t going to be around for to many more years…

made me think i can be in the sun for 20 minutes without sunscreen
now i look like shellfish
prince fielder got the shit heckled out of him during BP – after the too-many-salads he actually turned around and yelled shut-up and later kottaras yelled how-many-do-you-have as an answer to stuff about his swing and where his line drives landed. i contemplated jumping in on the heckling for a minute, but it was too easy
westy seems to be cozying up with soup and carp
jaime garcia really really doesn’t like signing autographs
waino’s warmup seamed longer than usual, boog’s shorter than usual
very uninspired game
i don’t know if they showed it, but when the brewers scored the third run, where craig made the throw to the plate, yadi got mad, albert gestured to him as well, looked like they were both quite irritated
i hate it when pitchers hit my boog
looks like brewers were stalling in the 9th big time
especially during the waiting boog had to do, he seemed like he got more and more nervous, pacing, then went to dugout to ask pointers from mac
4 losses in a row – to cubs and brewers, i’m about to start freaking out

My 2 cents
It was reported yesterday that the Giants would be trying to block the Cards from getting a 3rd baseman through waivers. I think the Cards have been sandbagging the last couple of days to get below the teams they are afraid are going to attempt to block a deal for someone and they’ll pick it back up soon. (this is tongue in cheek)

Successful is debatable
If knowledge is the key, then just show me the lock.

i'd call him successful
just because we hate the guy doesn’t mean he’s not a success

I hate watching Counsell bat almost as much as
watching Dumpster pitch.

I will hate him forever after the 2001 NLDS
that series pissed me off like no other, for some reason.
Even more than our ’04 World Series loss.
Maybe not as bad as our ’09 NLDS run, during which I threw my iPhone at a wall.

It looks like God is trying really hard to pry the bat out of Counsells hands.

I've been afraid to say that out loud to myself so far
Ugh.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
how is Counsell any better than Miles?
He can go on the adult rides at six flags so Tony has someone to hold his hand on the roller coasters.

Gotay
I thought they signed this guy specifically if things didn’t work out with Freese at 3rd. Can he not catch the ball? Why have they not given him a shot? Anyone have any idea? I don’t know much about him except he gets on base alot.
On another note, anyone think Glaus could still play some 3rd. It is possible that he ends up on waivers with their addition of Lee.
How about handin' me another helpin' of those mashed taters...thank you very much!
If Glaus could play third,
he’d still be playing first.

Glaus just went on the DL.
If he could play 3B (and was healthy), Atlanta would keep him since Chipper’s career probably just ended.

Brave T. Glaus might play at 3B in Triple-A. In honor of this, I am going to start a musical quartet. I’ve dubbed it “The E5 Experiment.”

Couple thoughts on transactions
DLee to Atlanta…would have been nice if they would have done that like a week ago.
Hawpe released…WTF happened to that guy? He use to be a player right?

right on hawpe
one of the annual baseball enigmas
I may be in a rut, but at least I know where I'm going
...to DFA TLR

reds find a way to win...again
cardinals find a way to lose…again
and we’re still blaming it on luck
any W that you are able to post
that you are down by 4 after 7 innings is all luck, yes. s

Looks like the Reds are the
Cinderella team this year. Every few years a team is like this. You know the clutch game winning HRs from unlikely players, coming back from 5-6 runs late in games, career rebounds from older players, ect. The Atlanta Braves had several teams like this in the early 90’s. The White Sox in 05 were similar as well.
Scary thing is when a team like this starts to roll….they usually don’t stop. Of course there is another month of ball to play….but I’m afraid our guys will be the ugly stepsister to this Cinderella REAL QUICK if something doesn’t change in the next 5-10 games.
Boy a frosty cold Budweiser would be great about now"…long pause…then an "aahhh". --Mike Shannon
44 games left
we’ll see
I could write pages about this but one thing is true: we got extremely unlikely finding out the demise of Freese after the trade deadline which made our westbrook trade even worse
and more luck has been on cincy’s side for their last 5 games than our own 4 games but im not making excuses…obv its coming down to the wire but we still win the division

I'm just hoping we are just having our annual "September swoon"
early this year in August and we can turn it around. It could start with Mo going out and getting us some type of help for 3rd. Somebody that can drive in some runs would be nice.

Seth Everett on ESPN podcast "if you wanna call the Red sox the most obnoxius fans in baseball then the Cardinals have to be in the sentence:
i rarely check these out and now probably wont ever again:
http://espn.go.com/espnradio/player?rd=1#/podcenter/?callsign=ESPNRADIO
but it starts at min 16:00
I dont think Seth understands the city of St. Louis (or boston for that matter)…first and foremost St. Louis is a baseball TOWN!! And he said, “ebecause we are in the midwest everything is happy and go lucky…because they dont” Boston has a completely different culture than St. Louis…yes we have the blues and rams but we are also one of the best soccer cities in the u.s. There are many relevant comparisons u can draw to St. Louis and how we love baseball…its like college football in the south…or more specifically what the Crimson Tide is to someone in Alabama or what cold weather is to an eskimo….
I just shook my head listening to Seth. He stated we have to be “in the dialogue” when talking about Sox’s fans being obnoxious since their rebirth in 04. “we (stl) are the same way being isolationists”
SETH: “I had one caller on my old XM radio station…” “Guy calls up the show saying ‘you forgot about Schumaker’ wearing his victory blue cardinal jersey”
hmm…how again do u see what someone wears on the radio???
Seth again referencing us that we unanimously agree “Schumaker is better than Cano and Pedroia”….shaking head again
Seth Everett’s guest Mark Simon was obviously wanting to be out of this discussion…although Simon mentioned his own opinion on philly fans.
Again my qoutes are pretty accurate but u can hear it for urself…for your own humor.

Anyone notice this before? I just did.
