clerihews are the best
I want to release a book of light cardinals-related verse entitled Chris Carpenter, When to hit that massive Cardinals/light verse/John Updike demographic.
That would totally end up on my Grandma's coffee table.
Which is like the Mount Rushmore of Cardinals-related bibliophilia.

i'd rather see your novel "rasmus, run" or
“Rasmus redux” get published
"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. We sang songs and prayed on Sundays. . . . We felt pain. And we felt joy. There was a lot wrong with the world. But we weren't sad, man. We had the times of our lives." Buck O'Neil, from "The Soul of Baseball: A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neil's America."

Looks to be a little quicker to the plate than I remember.

Chris Carpenter doesn't give a fuck about our trend of late-season collapses.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.

i gotta wonder the same thing. you’d think he’d be just a bit worse, in MLB than AAA

I wonder
when we will score another run? Tuesday?
The time has come for someone to put his foot down and that foot is me
I'm sorry
I dreamed that we had already been swept in this series. Time travel allowed me to see another universe where Schumaker doesn’t suck and the Cardinals hit lefties. Then I woke up. Doesn’t seem like Tuesday after all that.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down and that foot is me

Remeber it well. Cards had Boyer at third, Groat at short, Flood in center and Brock running wild. . .
Compare – Feliz, Ryan, ?? in center and Floppy leading the team in steals. . .
Not real optimistic. . . .

I remember it well. An All Star Infield in 1963 and Stan the Man platooning. The Cards one 19 of 23 in September to catch Koufax’s Dodgers. Then, regrettably, got swept at home – or LaRussaed as we know it today.

1) He may have slowed up to play the hill because he wasn’t going to catch it.
2) The Astros play in an amusement park

I hate this rant that has lasted the whole season. McGwire, the guessiest guess hitter of all time says they shouldn’t use video to learn about a pitcher’s tendencies.
Not afraid to nitpick
When was the last time
a Cards team completely laid down like this? Amazing really. I’m wondering whether we finsih above .500 at this point. Our aces seem to be out of gas.
I’m all for calling up the farm and letting them play out the string — they couldn’t possbily be worse, could they?
Just win
2006 the problem was Izzy blowing saves, not the team...
Guess this is also why Chris Duncan gets so much hate, no one actually remembers 2006…
2006 was completely different than this
This year we fell out of the race before September 1 and we did it by losing to the worst teams in baseball over a protracted 15 game stretch. This is horrid.
Just win

we would be bitchin about the lack of pitching and instead of losing games 3-0 we would be losing 6-5. Still the other option seems better even though the outcome is the same …

Westbrook's best starts of the season have come in a Cardinals uniform.
You can’t ask for much more than that for a trade. Jay has been solid, and while his rookie luck is starting to wear off, he’s still performing very well in RF. It’s not Westbrook’s fault that the offense and defense have fallen apart since the Cincy sweep. (Ah, the good ol’ days.)
In any other situation, it would have been a good trade. But we’re in Bizzarro World, you little cheesecakes.

Lopez, Winn, Miles...
a three man bench? Can’t we have one guy who has a prayer of hitting a three run homer to tie in the ninth? Do we really need 13 pitchers – two of which are MacDougal and Hawksworth?
Fire La Russa!
No.
We don’t need 13 pitchers. Our starters have been gobbling up innings as of late. We certainly don’t need a roster with 13 pitchers where two of them are MacDougal and Hawksworth. We certainly don’t need a bench featuring Aaron Miles and Randy Winn, either. TLR is a genius. Our needs are not his needs. Approach is more important than skill.

Hawksworth will be back, as he is a nice cheap insurance policy for the no. 5 starter fill-in role. So will Ryan, as he is a nice, cheap elite defensive SS who has had bad batted ball luck. Miller’s option has already vested, if I’m not mistaken…

...to DFA TLR
Skip is a terrible defensive second baseman. We all know this.
He is signed through next season. He is one of TLR’s guys. He isn’t going anywhere. And, actually, I am okay with that, so long as he doesn’t play in the OF. VEP posted this yesterday, but Skippy’s wOBA adjusted for park and batted ball data is .340. After a horribly unlucky start to the season, he has inched his offensive upward for most of the season. There really isn’t much reason to believe that he won’t be a league-average bat at second base and worth 1-to-2 wins next season.
"I'm gonna throw the nastiest curveball I have ever thrown...if he hits it, I'll tip my cap, but if not we're going to the Series."
--Adam Wainwright on the final pitch of the 2006 NLCS
Is he still cheap next year?
As much as I love Skip, he’s obviously not the kind of player we can afford to keep unless he is cheap.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
he signed for something like 2yr/4M last year.
Asshattery: it's an epidemic.
Second base….I’ve played second base, how hard can it be? -TLR
Also, Dave Concepcion.
2.7 million
he only needs to be worth like 0.6 WAR or something to be worth his contract… if he goes back to ’08 Skip (2.3 WAR) or ’09 (1.5 WAR), then its a good contract
by stlcardsfan4 on Aug 31, 2010 10:50 PM EDT up reply actions
If he is worth 1.5 wins, as he was last season, which seems reasonable to me, he'd be worth around $7MM.
His 2011 salary is $2.7MM, which is a lot, but he could still give us surplus value. To dump him, we are either going to eat all or a portion of his salary. And, in a trade, we’d be trading at his absolute lowest value. The best for the Cardinals is to play him and hope that his luck evens out.
The other possibility is that he puts up another unlucky and bad season. He has been a -$1.5MM “value” this year so far. He’s been essentially a replacement value player, putting up a 0.1 WAR season.

His 2010 salary is $2MM. His 2010 value (to date) has been $500,000.
If he finishes as a 0.1-WAR player, we will have overpaid $1.5MM for him, so, he would be a -$1.5MM value.

Team finishes 68-94, 24 out. Albert is traded to the Red Sox at the All Star Break, for prospects. LaRussa and Duncan resign shortly thereafter.
yep
They lose Albert mid season (trade). Wainers a top 30 pitcher for sure, but who else? Garcia has had a great year, but next year – who knows. With Carpenters injury, the team id forced to run Hawk and Lohse out there every fifth day. LOL.
No bench – ditto this year – and Glaus hits.223 with 6 HR in 478 ABs. Yadi – tough as they come – slides to .229. Boog .194, and although Holliday plays well, his production after Albert leaves slides. Craig tries manfully to replace Albert, but with no protection in the lineup ends up hitting a weak .266.
This is all tongue in cheek of course, and I hope it don’t happen, but it could. And 2012….could be more of the same.

its just bad luck sometimes…people fall down the stairs
Boggs will never be a starter, Kmac can start, Ryan is only improving, Carp is now officially healthy in my book until he retires , Ottavino?, Walters improving? are Freese and Greene dead? Anderson does player catcher still? Rasmus is pretty decent, Lohse will hopefully fully rebound for ’11, penny will never wear a cardinals uniform again

Astros fan here,
and I’m still trying to figure out how Pujols has gone 0-3 consecutively against lefties. Is he in a slump right now? I’ve noticed the team is in a slump, so losing to us is pretty much insult to injury. Hard to believe that we have been doing very well against you guys this year, but we were due for a good year. I wouldn’t mind you guys taking one tomorrow from us, because I’d rather see you guys win the division, not Cincy.
Good luck tomorrow.

I didn’t find much to suggest that Pujols should suck against Wandy – he wasn’t being overpowered – but he took a lot of strikes and missed a lot of hittable pitches. I guess waaaaaandy just forces bad contact.

Agreed on the Houston rivalry.
I took my kids to watch the Cards in Houston a couple of years ago for their first big league game. Cards lost both, but we still had a good time. Had several friendly conversations with Astros fans during the game. I only saw one guy acting mildly like a douche, and he looked wasted.
I’m not sure I would have been comfortable taking the kids to their first Cards game at a place like Wrigley or Fenway, where a higher percentage of assholes would be lurking, and possibly ruin the experience for them. Probably depends alot on where you sit though…
"Who is John Gall?"
I'm just not a fan of the Reds, especially Joey Votto.
Last play of the All-Star game was a good catch by Marlon Byrd, and Votto doesn’t congratulate him because, “He’s a Cub, I hate the Cubs.” What a fucking loser. The stuff that Phillips said was unnecessary too. The Cards don’t do anything but win, even if everyone hates them for always winning, It’s a pretty lame reason to hate a team.

"I don’t like the Cubs," Votto told ESPN, "And I’m not going to pat anybody with a Cubs uniform on the back. But because he made that really cool play, it turned out to be a really cool experience. I’m really glad we got the win today," Votto said.
He went on to explain why he harbored such cold feelings towards the Cubs.
"We are Cincinnati Reds," Votto said. "We’re taught to hate everything in the Central Division. That’s just how it is."
at least it isn’t seemingly personal. supposedly bob gibson wouldnt even talk to any non-cardinals during the allstar game, as he didnt consider them true teammates. but this quote from votto is much worse, imo:
Reds first baseman Joey Votto says he shows his feelings about Chicago Cubs fans by refusing to sign autographs for them.
Votto declined to congratulate Cubs outfielder Marlon Byrd following his impressive defensive play during the All-Star game Tuesday. Afterward, he told ESPN that he doesn’t like the Cubs.
Votto clarified his remarks Friday, saying he has great respect for the Cubs. He added that he “can’t say as much for their fans.”
The Cubs clinched the NL Central title in Cincinnati in 2007, Votto’s first season in the majors. Thousands of Cubs fans were in the stands at Great American Ball Park for that game. Votto still bristles at the memory and says he won’t sign autographs for Cubs fans as a result.
he wont sign autographs for cubs fans BECAUSE THEY LIKE IT WHEN THEIR TEAM MAKES THE PLAYOFFS?!?! fucking dumb.

Once again, I bring this up
I think Dusty encourages this kind of sentiment towards other teams.

i appreciate this
but guys, you have to look at it like this. the cardinals are so bad, that we have astros’ fans over here offering up free wins just because they feel sorry for us. this is a new low

So this team is officially no longer fun to watch
Good time for school to start back up
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
I'm glad
that I have classes from 9:30 until 3:15, so that by the time I drive home it will be close to 4, and unless there’s extra baseball, I won’t have to watch.

arizona fall league rosters announced today
cardinals are sending pete kozma, tony cruz, brian broderick, blake king, and adron chambers. i’m looking forward to seeing kozma, if nothing more than curiosity. i don’t know who broderick, king, or chambers are.

No Zach Cox?
Adron Chambers is hitting .323 in 76 at-bats for Memphis.

what position is chambers?
"Did you just grow a mustache?"

Goold anticipates Cox to be in the next round of players
named for the AFL. LINK
First-round pick Zack Cox, a third baseman, is expected to be named one of the Cardinals’ representatives at the Arizona Fall League, even though he wasn’t on the rosters announced Tuesday. Cox and two other Cardinals farmhands will be added in the coming week.
interesting. last year i believe the cardinals only had 6 or 7 representatives....guess they will have 8 this year
last year was cool, i saw brian anderson, descalso and DJ tools. although none of them were very impressive.

i can't believe i'll say this
but miles seems to be the only one that consistently manages to get his ass to a bag – regardless of how – bloop shallow outfield singles, walks, whatever
how is that even possible when you look at some of the other names on our roster?
but okay, good for the dude, if he can also cross home without getting thrown out before trying to steal or whatever, great – i get it TLR
but playing him at short – THAT is NOT okay
..i miss ludriguez-wick..
wow
Miles and Suppan starting in the same game….who woulda thunk it?
