I think i decided last night
that I gave up hope for this season…GO RAYS!
check out VEB on facebook...just search groups for Viva El Birdos
I haven't given up hope
I’ve given up reason – as of the two losses to the Pirates followed by the Thursday or Friday night “who can give away this game more” game to the Nats, I gave up rationally thinking that this team has a shot.

Franklin with shaved head says he’ll buy a tempurpedic pillow to help with neck problems since he lost the little extra padding provided by hair
available to pitch tonight
some guys got a little mad they were forced to shave their heads since they’re getting married in two months
according to frankie some ppl look better with shaved heads than others – boggsie and trev especially – horrible
“lohsie”, who frankie says is a “pretty guy” (i agree), who is apparently also the team barber said there was no finesse in this, so he let the others do the shaving but shaved his own head – dude’s still looking good
Sauce says not bothered by injury, not even in Memphis. took it easy so he doesn’t hurt himself. last time threw as he usually did and said he felt no pain

What do you say
about a leadoff man who is slower than everyone on the team except the catcher?

Reminds me of an AJ Pierzinski quote.
went something like this.
So AJ about that home run… were you trying to hit a sacrafice fly?

I think for so long he was given teams that were so good that he couldn't really mess it up
and now that he is given more marginal teams, coupled with him making increasingly more and more eccentic moves, he is not going to be nearly as effective.

I believe if you are swinging at it, you get the result of the swing.
Ump determines intent of the batter.
A STRIKE is a legal pitch when so called by the umpire, which—
(a) Is struck at by the batter and is missed;
(b) Is not struck at, if any part of the ball passes through any part of the strike
zone;
© Is fouled by the batter when he has less than two strikes;
(d) Is bunted foul;
(e) Touches the batter as he strikes at it;
(f) Touches the batter in flight in the strike zone; or
(g) Becomes a foul tip
So, I think it’s just a K all the way. No HBP, I don’t think.

Cardinal frustration
On Sept 9 of last year the Cardinals beat the Brewers 5-1. Since that game, including the playoff series against the Dodgers, the Cardinals record is 86-87.
That’s a pretty good sample size – over a season – and should be enough to tell the ownership that something’s rotten in Denmark.
god that means nothing to me im sorry
september 9? that shows just how random it is…. why the 9th… because it fits your model and shows how we are under .500 at a random date

It shows that in our last 173 games we are under .500. That’s all. That’s enough for me to see we need big time changes.
I think it's the Big Brother Syndrome...
All our little brothers, the NL Cental Teams, they aspire to succeed like we do but are so sick of getting beat on by big brother that the minute they start to grow some muscles and cahones they relish any oppurtunity to beat big bro…

like kyle lohse, skip schumacher are (also randy winn is currently better than any OFer in AAA…. i realize craig is in there, but he’s been struggling lately)….
meanwhile, we have tyler greene, fernando salas, josh kinney, brandon dickson (why not?) all in AAA and who all except maybe dickson perform better than those four

It means for almost one year, we have been playing .500 ball and I don’t think anyone here is happy about it. April was great like it was last year, and then…..it gets tiresome. Actually, I don’t invest too much emotion in it. Seeing Boog make a great play today, or 3 or 4 DPs, or Westbrook’s #4 or 5 starter outing is the consolation I take out of the game, given what is happening. Just like I try to say that I had a good round of golf because of that 1 out of 18 good drives. I have been a Cards fan for too long to jump ship. But as deweydell says, frustration, and I think that that was the point.

how bout this season
go back a month before to the beginning of august… (im assuming you didn’t count the win on Sep 9)…
they went 113-95… big difference huh? do it over full seasons, not selective endpoints, they tell us nothing except an interesting fact… remember how albert was gaining a full season of a “poor season”

with that, but I thought the point was simply an emotive one that it has been frustrating watching this team for some time, with the exception of periodic win streaks, not a statistical one.

by stlcardsfan4 on Aug 30, 2010 10:53 PM EDT up reply actions
Exactly. I get emotional about this team -I have for a long, long time. I thought that’s what being a fan was all about.
Statistics bore me. They are helpful yes, but they can’t tell the story.
There was a projection I read recently on VEB that the Cardinals projected 98 wins with their present roster. Now that projection, statistically speaking, may be accurate and based on sound analysis, but excuse me, anybody watching this team day after day knows it can not be true.
There have been some injuries sure, and some players have not preformed to expectation, but LOOK at this team. Look at what John Mozeliak has done here since he got the job.
I’m sorry; it’s not pretty.
I liked it better when I was eight years old.
I was happy to see a ball game and every play by the Cardinals was the greatest play and as long as they won that day I was confident they were the best team ever…
It was so Joe Morgan.

I
was referring to life, not Disney. Delusions of grandeur, Cardinals will win every year, our slowpitch team are champions, I am a nice guy. Live the lie! Seriously, despite what was what I interpret as a comment that I might be living in an 8 year old’s world, or Disneyland, why is anyone at this site a Cards fan. Historical antecedents probably, but that is the genesis of the allegiance? The sabrmetrics are woven around what the GM and manager should do. But the allegiance remains. If one is completely logical (Spock-speak) why would anyone have an attachment to a team. Run the numbers before the season, and root for the team with the best chance to win. Change allegiance during the season as injuries set in, so that satisfaction is guaranteed at the end of the season. Or just become a permanent Yankee fan. After this cathartic post, I think that indeed, I still have an 8 year old’s (circa 1959) allegiance to the Cards. It doesn’t mean that one has an 8 year old’s acceptance of the business decisions, managing decisions, etc, which is what makes this a vibrant forum! The post game threads, especially after losses, are interesing!

We need another rally squirrel. I was a senior at De Smet, when this happened:
SPARKY" THE SQUIRREL! The DeSmet "Spartans" were trailing 20 to 0 in the semifinal round of the 6A play-offs (to Rockhurst High School) when the lights went out. It was later discovered a squirrel caused the 55-minute delay when he ran into a transformer. When the lights came back on, the "Spartans" scored 30 unanswered points and won the game 59 to 39. The semifinal victory put DeSmet into the state championship for the second time in the history of the school.
They went on to win the only state title in the school’s history

I never had a bad experience there and always thought highly of the school. Of course when I went, tuition was still reasonable, and we weren’t forced to buy overpriced tablets.

haha well i can't live without my labtop anymore so....
all are still there even durso who looks like he’s gonna fall over anyday now… no sothers i assume?

Nah
I never had Sothers.
I’m not surprised Durso is still there, you can’t kill the Jesuits, even if they chain smoke. Speaking of Jesuits that look like they are about to fall over, is Fr. Boskin still alive? The dude was my counselor and I swear he was 90+
by CarpIsMyManCrush on Aug 30, 2010 11:22 PM EDT up reply actions
Boskin is also so here
i don’t think he’s a counselor anymore but he walks around DeSmet during the day

When I went there
Everyone had it out for CBC, Chaminade, and Vianney. I think only a few people actually gave a crap about SLUH.
The only thing I remember hearing about Sluh, was when this kid I knew made fake passes to get into a sluh mixer, and made a fortune off of them. DeSmet wasn’t angry he was making illegal passes and making pure profit, they were angry it was to a mixer that wasn’t there’s. I always found that humorous.
by CarpIsMyManCrush on Aug 30, 2010 11:30 PM EDT up reply actions
pretty much the same now
SLUH isn’t bad tbh… CBC seems to filled with douchebags, Vianney is annoying because they have a bunch of all sports, no brains guys, and Chaminade,… idk even now, i know i can say i saw brad beal in high school – he’s pretty good

man Hoffman sucks
He had 2 outs and 2 strikes on two consecutive hitters and still blew it. Whatever I guess it doesn’t matter at this point. How the fuck does a team loose 7 games in the standings in what? Just two weeks. This shit is sad, if we continue to play like crap and don’t put together some sort of run at the playoffs changes have to be made right? I don’t know that I can take another season like this with LaRussa. If they are going to resign Pujols its not like they are gonna have money to go out and get any big name player.

you know what's sad?
other than being beaten repeatedly by horrible teams? that we are probably going to sweep the Reds again and this will give us a glimmer of hope… and then we will lose 4 of 6 to the Pirates later in the season

let's not break out the brooms just yet....
I dunno if the Reds can cure what ails us, but it’s definitely premature to think we’re going to keep winning 2 out of 3 against them…..especially given the recent tailspin.
That sweep was the last series victory we’ve had…..brutal.

I actually turned off the game to shop for ties on the internet.
Seriously. That’s how boring it was. Settled on a nice Churchill dot pattern. Classy yet understated!
wow.

I even learned some tie trivia
it is so called because the pattern, white dots on a navy background, was a favorite of Winston Churchill, although he customarily wore a bow tie as seen here:
Also, did you know that Churchill, when still just a wee lad in school, predicted that he would one day save the British Empire? Of course he technically failed in that regard, as WW2 and the aftermath saw the fall of the Empire, but he did manage to save England. See what you can learn when the Cards suck so bad. Silver lining?
Stumbled across this on youtube
It was made in late May, and I’m not sure if it was done by a Cards fan or not. Kinda fitting for this point in the season anyways…

this team
needs its role players to, y’know, play the role. We get plenty from our superstars, but even Waino & Carp are going to have a few iffy starts per year. When Pujols only hits .298 for a stretch, it shouldn’t cost us so much. Holliday can’t hit 1.000 when Pujols is IBB’d…..etc.
The problem is that injuries have put lots of scrubs in to everyday roles, and the roster management has been so seat-of-the-pants. I mean, what does McDougal do that Salas doesn’t? How come Stavinoha got so much playing time this year? ad naus….
Whatever happened in Cincinnati, stays in Cincinnati.
McDougal walks shittons of batters and gives up runs
that would be the big difference between Salas and him. I’m sure that has value to the team somehow.

we got less than 2 months from our opening day 3B and #3 & #4 starters
and the following have all missed significant chunks of playing time this year: Rasmus, Boog, Ludwick, Motte, LaRue, Lopez, and I believe also Ottavino and Hawksworth. Pujols, Holliday, and Boog all missed some or all of spring training.

it's like we caught a glimpse of a really special team at the beginning of the season
that probably woulda had a shaky bullpen as it’s only weakness. instead, we get this

I'm sorry
I have to bitch somewhat. VEBers will recognize that I have been in the optimists club all year, but the sum of the play in the post-Brandon Phillips: Motivational Speaker Series against some really bad teams has shaken my confidence. I’m sorry, I guess I just didn’t see them going 3-9 against the Cubs, Brewers, Pirates, and Nats. Fuck.
I’m not giving up hope altogether—any team that has Albert Pujols on it is not out of it until it’s mathematically eliminated as far as I’m concerned—but for fuck’s fuckin sake, somebody better do something. They just look so goddamn meek right now. After they whoop Cincinnatti, in Ohio!!, the fucking wheels come off against all these shitty teams. It’s like they’re playing a hard four innings. Gah.
Whatever happened in Cincinnati, stays in Cincinnati.
.....and perhaps, dear VEBers, the fault lies in not in our stars,
but in my signature, which was a Pujols quote after the Kung Fu Johnny Series….anybody think I should erase it? Only signature of my multi-year SBN tenure….maybe it’s Bad Luck. And we wouldn’t that, after all…..
Whatever happened in Cincinnati, stays in Cincinnati.
I think it's a combination of injuries, bad luck, and poor roster construction and management

Tony and Colby downplaying any tensions
I don’t think he’s really a .300 hitter, but whatever. I just don’t want to see this go all Rolen, at this point.
Fuck it
I just wrote up a big thing about the inconsistency of this team. I’m so over it I can’t even post it. Ick…
2011!
check out VEB on facebook...just search groups for Viva El Birdos
The thing that makes me really sad is
the fact that if the team managed to pick themselves up and start playing well, this totally isn’t over.
Someone needs to remind the players that though, they’re playing like they already know they can’t win.
