are aubrey huff, pat burrell, and jose guillen, and they have a better record than the cardinals

guys, i had imo's pizza for the first time last weekend
and it was the worst pizza i have ever eaten from a restaurant
I wouldn't say that...
It’s basically the McDonald’s of St. Louis style pizza.
It’s not bad if you are in the mood, but it’s pretty much the bottom rung. That being Cecil Whitaker’s, which is the Arby’s of St. Louis style pizza.
agreed. no accounting for taste.
Imo’s is my favorite pizza of all.
New York and Chicago style are yummy. But Imo’s is the tops.
ketchup, cardboard, and cheese aren't your thing?
That’s what my gf called it…

An optimist is a man who upon discovering that a rose smells better than a cabbage concludes it will make better soup.

Yes.
Lopez and Winn are part time players, in an ideal situation. IE, Freese not getting hurt. They’re on short term deals, giving us the year to develop the young talent in the minors. They were decent contracts, in my mind.
Point taken. Just wonder if the third shock tropp platoon - Floppy, Miles, Feliz is preferable to Greene and moving Carpenter up to Memphis?

The trade was reasonable.
The Feliz pickup was most assuredly not.
Westbrook is a bad player compared to Ludwick.
Westbrook was good 5 years ago, now he’s way past his prime, too expensive, and has gotten 1 victory for us in 20 days that he’s been here (unless we somehow win this game. He won’t get the W, but he’ll at least have started the game that we won).

Jon Jay will cool off (like Chris Duncan) and Mozeliak is going to feel like an idiot for making him the starting right fielder.

You're being quite irrational.
Westbrook has been exceptional since we obtained him. Has he gotten BABIP’d a bit? Yes. Don’t place the blame for the losses in his starts on him. Merely poor offensive output in those starts.
Ludwick was a salary shed at a position we had capable players to replace him, where Westbrook was a position of need.
Be more disappointed with whatever person it is that is bringing in the washed-up no-talent players.
Since we can’t seem to decide whom it is that is making the calls on these dildos, I’ll just blame everybody.

by Cards Fan in Chitown on Aug 21, 2010 1:51 AM EDT up reply actions
He's fallen back a little
but now that I look at it, Omar Infante is the real threat – he’s hitting 344, but he only has 322 plate appearances with 40 games to go. He needs 502 PAs to qualify, so if he played every game he’d need to average 4.5 PAs. He bats leadoff and so far Braves leadoff hitters have averaged 4.75 plate appearances per game. With Chipper out he’s not going to get many off days, though if they run away with the East he might sit a time or two.
Fire La Russa!
Hopefully Infante comes back to earth
His .389 BABIP and 5% walk rate don’t bode well for him as an everyday player hitting for average. Plus he hasn’t played this much in a few years.
I also loved TLR's postgame
“All those hits count for something to me”
I’m sorry but 13 hits, with the majority of them singles, that leave no impact the game, only mean shit when it’s a tuesday and I can get 2.99 classic dozen doughnuts from Krispy Kreme….so no TLR, those hits don’t count for anything.

by guillermozeliak on Aug 21, 2010 1:01 AM EDT up reply actions
It's not luck, it's the players...
Look at the lineup tonight.
6 out of the 9 hitters were hitting under .250. I know batting average is overated, but none of these guys walk or hit for power, either.
The ’55 Senators fielded a better starting lineup (except our 1B and LF are a lot, lot better, though their 1B/LF were pretty good).
Then look at the pitching side. We traded for our starter because our #5 guy wasn’t good enough. So what does Tony do? Put in the guy that wasn’t good enough to be the #5 starter into the game immediately after the starter is lifted.
What is the logic in that?
And then we put in a guy who shouldn’t even be on this team (MacDougal). Can anyone tell me what purpose he serves, other than to give up runs?
i annoyed as hell too. we cant catch a fucking break and they keep lucking out in every game
I thought they would struggle out west but they just keep catching all these teams at the right time. When is this misery gonna end? They have to loose, or blow a lead eventually right? We have got to win a game soon! Someone tell me it will be over soon!

What gets me though...
is that he doesn’t seem to be trying to improve. He just dances like crazy at the plate. How is he ever going to be even an awful hitter doing that?
Al related a story about how McGwire has been trying to calm him down and not move so much, but he resists.
I like McGwire, but the players don’t listen to him, maybe we should get a coach they will? I was afraid that he would perhaps be seen more as a buddy than an authority figure.
there is so much that is inaccurate about this.
first of all, he was hitting at an acceptable level by doing exactly that. nobody likes it, and by accounts, he doesn’t like it, but that’s how he hit at his career levels.
second of all, he spent over half a season trying to change everything about his approach. this resulted in the worst at-bats of not just his career, but probably his whole life (thanks, over-stalkerish media accounts.)
third of all, this all came about because he was listening to McGwire. by all accounts, and I mean I haven’t heard anything different — every player is about killing themselves trying to do better for Big Mac. and that is probably part of the problem.

if you are still checking
I forget if it was KTRS or Rick and Al, but at the time one of them said it had to do with something left on (lights) around the centerfield backdrop that was causing a visual disturbance for the hitter.
And the ump told Tony because the home field manager is apparently supposed to tell the electro-guys to knock it off and/or be more careful in the future.
Not confirming that, just saying what they said.

Eh, I still don't buy it
Let’s just compare us to the Reds real quick.
Cardinals OPS: .747
Reds OPS: .773
So the Reds have a .026 OPS advantage over us on the offensive side of the ball. But if you look at run prevention…
Cardinals OPS against: .698
Reds OPS against: .724
The difference in pitching/defense exactly matches the difference in offense between the two clubs. Unless you want to argue that 3/4 of a season of team “clutch” performance is anything other than luck (and there are many virtual cabinets of counter evidence) than you have to accept that the Cardinals have played just as well as the Reds this year. The difference in the standings is just noise.
That ignores the fact that the Cardinals are underforming their preseason projections while the Reds are overperofmring. Now this likely means the preseason projections were partially incorrect, but not completely. You can’t just take single season numbers at face value.

Agree, this is too much gloom and doom with 6 weeks left.
However, the obvious flaw in stats is that they do not always account for consistency – the dips from multiple bad offensive showings get smoothed out by a few blowout performances. I still blame McGwire for a lot of this inconsistency. And, situational stats are probably not great.
For all the starter woes, we have had some stout pitching and that should be encouraging for the stretch.
Where were we at this point in 2006?
the main problem is that there's nothing in the current stats
that suggests we’re likely to make up 4.5 games on the Reds through the end of the season, whether the 4.5 games difference was originally the result of luck or noise or whatever.
I guess we’ll just have to hope that we’ll luck into it.

Thank the GOBs for the 2006 fluke or you kids wouldn’t be looking at a World Series win in your lifetimes.
the cardinals aren't going to win another world series
because the 2010 team is underperforming?

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
4.5 games back eh?
not looking too great. bumgarner pitched pretty well, though
feliz had a pretty good game with two hits and a nice play at third (also a botched one)
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."

Part of the problem with Feliz is that he isn't hitting the ball hard or square
Both balls last night had tons of spin on them.
haha, wow, scrolling up
i think i’m glad i wasn’t around for the game thread

Anything in the standings and I'll be pleasantly surprised, but...
I just feel like this isn’t our year. So many things have gone wrong and they’ve all hurt.
At least I can root for Albert to win a triple crown.
Also: Fuck Tony LaRussa, Fuck Walt Jocketty, Fuck Dusty Baker, Fuck the entire Reds organization. Enjoy getting pounded by the Phillies in the playoffs.

Or should I wait for the lineups to come out?

It's the weekend
Have a bloody Mary or something else that is sometimes acceptable in the morning.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
Haha
I’ll have an appletini, light on the ’tini!

Good news everyone!
The Beyond the Boxscore power rankings have us as the third best team in the NL!
AAAAAGGHH.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
you know, it's almost an accomplishment for the Cardinals to be this
mediocre. They have the undisputed best player in baseball and legit triple crown threat, the perhaps odds-on Cy, another one of the most dominating pitchers in the league, the best rookie pitcher in the game not named Strausburg, an elite left fielder….I mean, to be this mediocre it’s almost as if they’d have to fill out the rest of the roster with broken down retreads, leprous castaways, and talentless gritmasters. Oh, wait….
That being said, I’m gonna stick around. The people who leave the game early when the team is down 5 or 6 going into the eighth are the ones who beat the traffic and avoid further disappointment 99 times out of 100. But that one time, they miss out on one hell of a show.
granted, there was a storm front coming in.

the cards twitter unwisely announced
that the only restriction was “1 item only”. after being asked specifically what items were okay.
so….. watch out.

>While Albert Pujols batting, This Signature picked off second. Three out.
I don't remember how far behind we were
but I once saw the Cards score 10 runs in one inning. At old Crosley, vs the Reds. And I don’t think there was a home run involved. The rally went on so long it made me giddy, all the more delicious because the sulking Reds’ fans (whom I grew up despising, especially the necrotic Waite Hoyt) had to take it.
Unfortunately, that was roughly some 45 years ago.
Cardinals are going to win today....
Reds are gonna loose. I can feel it. This mess of a week is almost over but the Cardinals are gonna salvage a game or two in the standings.
I didnt think this team was capable of losing 5/6 games in a row with this pitching staff. The funny thing is we have gotten quality starts in 4 of the last 5 games and lost all of them…we never even lead in any of those games did we?

Is there a new thread or am I here by myself?
We lost 5 games in the standings in one week, we can def make it up in 40plus games! It starts tonight! Cards are gonna win 12 in a row.

I feel for him....after going to my third game this week last night
I have a new mindset. Im just gonna pretend none of those games even happened. Im going all positive, Carps gonna come out mad and shut down the Giants, when Colby returns (hopefully today) he is gonna go on one of his tears. Albert will hit 2 more homeruns this weekend to avoid hitting 400 in Pittsburgh, and neither will be a solo shot!
We have more games left than any other team and a soft schedule upcoming, im telling you it starts now, this team is gonna wake up.

I’m just going to enjoy baseball for the rest of the season, whatever it brings.

That is probably the best way to approach it at this point.
Cuz in a couple of months it’ll be gone and we’ll be stuck with Hot Stove and handegg till March.

this is definitely the best approach
i’m just not sure I’m capable of it

i'm saving my next negro league retrospective in case we go on a ten game losing streak in september.
"We were men - flesh and blood - and we played baseball in the sunshine. We hit doubles off the wall, slid hard into second base. We had fights, and we made love.

the new post is up. took me a lot longer to finish than i thought.

I know this isn't the biggest news ever but,
Ronny Paulino suspended 50 games for PEDs. Not the biggest name or best player, but he’s a starter in the majors.

Bud Selig said it was OK if he wanted to go ahead and appeal
And then if its upheld he can just start the 50 game suspensiom with Spring Training next year

Pujols, with a note of urgency-
“We need to figure out when to play better,” said Albert Pujols, whose 32nd home run of the season provided one of the Cardinals’ late, tidying-up runs. "There are a lot of different things that we aren’t doing the right way, and you can’t win like that. … Every game is important. There’s no tomorrow.
“We need to win games.”

Any word on Colby and if he will play tonight?
We really need him back bad. if not I wouldnt mind seeing Winn get a start over Craig in this series. I have always liked Craig and I know hes had more than his share of bad luck but he just isnt playing well, and its really hurting us to have him hitting 2nd and 5th everynight.
