Hey guys,
Aaron Miles being on the roster isn’t a big deal because he is the 25th man and therefore won’t play much at all.

WHY IS THIS GAME SO EARLY
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
day game in FL
you don’t expect the oldies to remain awake past 5 pm do you?
..i miss ludriguez-wick..
yeah
the past 2 days being there sucked with the whether, but it shouldn’t last for long. it should past and they will make the field very playable.. the grounds crew is impressive watching them in person the past couple days.
Ozzie is, was, and always will be the greatest Cardinal!

anyone have the PD's Cardinals iphone app?
worth the $3? And I also noticed that individual games are available for purchase on itunes, though they only have about 6 of them.
I have the Droid app.probabl
I would say that it isn’t worth it. You can get every story on your smartphone web browser and the app has been late in uploading new stories and posts these last few weeks. For example, yesterday the game story didn’t load until 10:30 a.m. for me. By that time, I had already read Leach’s recap on the official site and the P-D game story on stltoday.com two hours earlier. I probably wouldn’t buy it, if I were you.

Reds are playing their B team today.
It would be great if they mailed it in and the Cardinals could get a win this afternoon.
with soup on the mound, it's gonna be tough
the end to last night’s game was bad. franklin should not be our closer anymore.

The Cardinals need to hire a baserunning coach. Hello, Larry Walker.
problem is
who else?
he’s a guy who tries to get poor contact rather than no contact
hence, some contact will be good
if motte was around, i’d suspect tlr would still have left frizzy in
as it was, not much choice
I may be in a rut, but at least I know where I'm going
...to DFA TLR
The mentality has to be to grind through this season w/Franklin as our closer
and then tell Motte and Boggs to prepare themselves to close ballgames and see what happens in spring training between Franklin/Motte/Boggs

Michael J Fox meme is better
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
i know
Supp has been bad this year and that might be an understatment, but facing the marlins is what he needs. they are not good junk ball hitters and outside of Hanley and Uggla they are very young and inexperienced.. Logan Morrison batting 3rd! So this is a good team for Supp to face. Before the whole they beat us yesterday thing comes up, they hit three bombs and Hanley’s last hit was deep, but all those were on fast balls or some variation that was left over the plate. other than that the look like little leaguers just flailing around

don't mean to butt in
but by your standards, there is nothing hornsby could have done… he played in the 1920s-1930s so there was nothing he could do to be “entertaining”
and it mostly is all about skill if we’re talking greatest

what the fuck are you talking about?
he has a 4.4 WAR already which is already earning his contract or ahem “hype” (whatever that means in this context)….. what exactly is a good ol “moment” cause he had a ton of those last year in the second half

really
your bringing in sabermetrics for this. i gave examples of what a moment would be. again, waino freezing beltran, alberts bomb off lidge, etc, etc. Do you really think Matt has a moment liek this? no he doesn’t. Sabermetrics don’t mean nothign here

In order to get to opportunity to have moments such as that one,
the team itself has to be talented and lucky enough to be in situations like the ones above. If the Cards and Reds with the division and wildcard and then face eachother in the CS and Holliday hits a game winning home run off of Edinson Volquez who enters the game in relief blah dee blah it’s all really built on things like that 4.4 WAR that got the team to that point.
"What exactly is that thing? A pessimism meter?" - Bruce McCurdy
the game-winning home run off Hoffman was pretty momentary.
the game winning double off of Broxton was pretty nice as well.
The game-tying hit off of Gregg in the top of the 9th; the 3-run home run off of Wandy; the bases-loaded double off of Bronson Arroyo…
Holliday has 10 PA’s with an individual WPA of over .200 this year- albert has five. FYI.
Well the girls would turn the color of the avocado when he would drive down the street in his El Dorado... -the modern lovers
i think the brewers actually came back to win that one
unless there was an occasion besides the albert/holliday back to back in the ninth in milwaukee
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
twatter
...well the Astros won the series after the Lidge bomb
Who really cares about whether Holliday has a “moment” in judging whether he’s been good so far?
Not afraid to nitpick
so the "moment" apparently doesn't have to be about the team actually winning said series!!
i’m so confused, which is what happen when purely subjective opinions are the criteria for defining a players worth to his current team or its fan
it's true
and that’s why it isn’t a moment. If albert would have someone been on base after he hit his 2 run shot than maybe holliday would have had a moment by hitting a 2 run shot and winning the game, instead of letting the brewers back into it.
Miles, in at third for his defense
moment
a moment like…. Waino freezing Beltran, Albert’s bomb off Lidge, Yadi’s HR against the Mets, things like that. I want Matty to have a “moment”.

first he has to be put in a situation
to have this “moment”.
Personally I consider his 140 OPS+ a good step towards earning his contract.
Miles, in at third for his defense
This is ridiculous
A “moment”? That is so subjective. All four ones you mentioned were NLCS or beyond, which Holliday has not yet reached as a member of the Cardinals. How is that solely his fault? Additionally, except for Wainwright, the other three guys had been on the Cardinals for a long time. Holliday has barely been here a full year. Additionally, I didn’t know you had to have a “moment” to become a “true Cardinal”, especially when said moment is so subjective.
Of course he is.
He’s hit a grand slam against the Reds.

word. I mean, I understand the sentiment
that Matt hasn’t “made his mark.”
but arguing about it and then shooting down every counter-example for no real logical reason exposes how illogical the point is. why even worry about how little he moves your needle when the Cardinals are fighting for their lives? and even then, I’m pretty sure Holliday is the new outfield points leader in web gems (unless Colby’s got more than I think he does. will check in a moment.)
I for one am going to remain deeply afraid of his skull.

Ryan Ludwick used to be our overall Web Gems leader, tied at 16 points which is around 9th place, 15 guys ahead of him. (the leader at 41 is Brandon Phillips.)
Our web gems leader is now Albert Pujols at 14 points.
Brendan Ryan has 12 points.
Colby has sold it for 4 points.

that is the basic sentiment and i have not been turning down every counter example, i have making comparisons to other moments.. i love Holliday and was glad to get him and i am happy he is playing for us. yes, he has not had chance to have that big moment and i hope he does. the comment was to get discussion and throw out my opinion. i will still stand by it, sabermetrics or not. let’s hop ehis botch last year will not be his only playoff moment. he only hit 167 in that series as well. only 2 hits! need more in the playoffs with 100 mill plus contract.

"Very accomplished bunter" - Rick Horton about Aaron Miles
Anybody see Torri Hunter's ejection last night?
Gets angry, then gets really angry.
I’m not a great lip reader, but after Hunter accidentally touches the ump with his helmet, he is clearly called a “f***ing b***h” or a “piece of s**t.” After those words were said, Hunter just went crazy.
Absolutely unacceptable from an umpire, should lose his job for that. Too bad Hunter was the only one disciplined, getting a deserved 4-game suspension.
I hate officials like that.
I think last year Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs were given suspensions after the referee blatantly disrespected them and called them “boys” and whatnow. Can’t remember what happened to them, but I can’t remember any precedent off the top of my head in baseball.

No...
Aren’t we 1.5 back? The Reds will obviously win today – that’s 2 back. Then we’ll likely lose with Soup going on the road – 2.5 back. Then we have three in Cincy, which will most likely result in one team winning 2 of 3. I think it’s more likely they’ll win two than us.
Hopefully we’ll get rained out today. That will allow us to skip Soup. The game will not be made up unless absolutely necessary in which case it would be tacked on to the end of the season. Then we can arrange things to have a better pitcher going, Rasmus in center field, and someone other than Aaron Miles playing second. That is assuming La Russa puts out the best lineup for a do or die game 162, which I think he will do.

Showers and thunderstorms will move east at 10 mph affect most of Metro Broward County through 3 PM, producing occasional to frequent lightning strikes, very heavy downpours causing localized flooding, and gusty winds to 30 mph. Over Miami-Dade County, only isolated showers are expected through 3 PM. Over the Atlantic waters, showers and thunderstorms will be more numerous into late afternoon. Additional showers and thunderstorms moving down the Florida Peninsula will eventually reach Broward and Miami-Dade counties around 4 PM.

but he might also be completely full of shit. either way, it’s incredibly difficult to make sense of the lyrics on that album. and it’s still one of the greatest albums ever
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
twatter
it's pretty easy to get that o=impression
but there’s loads of parts that don’t fit that narrative and several other that just make no sense whatsoever
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
twatter
I wouldn't get hung up on interpreting every line
Yorke makes lots of references. I recall reading that he invokes Dante a lot.
The sleepy jack line? Dunno. Might be invoking one of the kids’ toys or something.
they have a lot of songs about infidelity
House of Cards off the last one is brutal.
Toss your keys in the bowl/kiss your husband good night….
i disagree
i don’t think they have hardly any songs related to romantic relationships pre-IR, aka the decline
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
twatter
bah
Rainbows is every bit as good as their other stuff.
Speaking of which, if you want a real headscratcher of a lyric, try Reckoner. I have no idea WTF that song is about but it’s gorgeous.
yeah, it's a good song
one of the few highlights of the album
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
twatter
Exit Music and TLW are too that come to mind without really looking it up.
In Rainbows is great because instead continuing with “I will eat you alive” nonsense, they switched it up. Some of the HTTT songs seem like a parody. You can only keep up the whole society is evil thing for so long.

but i think it was written for the romeo and juliet soundtrack and true love waits is an unreleased song

that's the point though
you can’t help but hear that and go, now why couldn’t they have built a whole song out of that instead of surrounding eight bars of win with several minutes of heroin jazz? I think it’s fuckin brilliant….the harmonies & voiceleading in those sections are so intense & chromatic. It fits the lyrics perfectly….
There There is a great song as well. (Video didn’t make any sense though.) Again that’s what I think is cool about Thief is that it’s got the abstract stuff living comfortably with the more typical Britpop kind of songs.
there's lots of great stuff on there
i don’t know if we agree about what’s great (STTM, WIEAYB, TT, AWATD) but there’s also a lot of mediocre stuff
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."

that's also the best song on HTTT
but again, i’m not going to let a word or two ruin a composition for me
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."

I get that lyrics aren't always that important.
I listen to Bob Dylan for a different reason than I listen to Animal Collective. But there’s a point where the lyrics get too ridiculous. “Businessmen drink my blood

i have no idea what's so offensive about that line
even if you are kind of taking the trees out of the forest
but i guess it’s just sad that people let the words (not central to the music) overshadow the enjoyment of the sound (the entirety of the music)
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
twatter
i mean
they could just sing “la la la la la” throughout the entire album and it would be fine. the vocals are there for the melody, not the words
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."

Well it's not just that line, but that is the one that stuck with me the most from my 2 listens.
Throughout the whole album it seems like Win, or whoever writes the lyrics, has the emotional maturity of a 17 year old. I would be embarrassed to put an album out with that lyric sheet. On top of that the music isn’t that interesting.

Garcia may get skipped
per a twitter comment attributed to Tony today, which could mean a Aug 15 start for Suppan if Lohse isn’t ready. The team might actually give Garcia more time off in order to have Jaime available for October. He’s at 121 IP now and is scheduled for 10 more starts this year. If Jaime took all the starts and averaged 5.1, he’d be at 174 IP before the playoffs, which is alot for a young TJ repaired arm.
I'd rather he not be skipped against the team we're trying to chase down in the division

We have the Red Baron crashing with the person in the green plane in the background. That’s two people. Then there’s the window washer falling lord knows how many stories to his probable death. Then we have the most unlucky guy ever apparently. Not only was a car attempting to run him down but he will most likely die when he dives out of apparent safety only to land directly under a falling scaffold.

Is there anyway they just don’t make the game up? I would think that would be unfair if one team only plays 161 games.
Could they wait until the end of the season, and if the missed game has any impact for either team and playoff implications than they make it up the day after the season ends?
Is it possible for us to travel to FLA on one of our days off and have them play a doubleheader on one of those days? I have never heard of a team hosting two different teams to a doubleheader

Rotoworld gets Boog
Brendan Ryan has been keeping his body movement consistent before he swings, which has resulted in much better production at the plate of late.
Ryan is fidgety and moves around a lot at the dish, but he’s simplified it somewhat, and it’s led to a .413 average over his last 12 games, as his batting average has risen from .186 to .223. “I need to go up another 40 (points) or so,” said Ryan, who hit .292 last season. Last year’s average was likely a fluke, but this year’s has been, as well. The shortstop is probably around a .270 hitter in reality.
.270 hitter? I soooo hope so.

that rainout sucks.
only possible date in season would be 9-20, and that would force the cardinals to play 31 games in 31 days to finish the year, something that would have to approved by the players union.
that said, i bet they wait and see if it will matter. but considering the cardinals are 2 games back of the reds (1 on the loss side) and 1 game out of the wild card (tied in the the loss column), i’d be willing to bet the game is going to matter. it’s probably an advantage to the cardinals if they make it october 4th. if that’s the case the marlins will have nothing to play for and the cardinals would gain a huge advantage if that game ends up being for the division or the wild card.

31 games in 31 days?
Good grief. If it wasn’t for bad luck, the Cards wouldn’t have any luck at all this season. Early-season wins seem to count for more than most people think since the team’s still within distance of the Division and wild card slots.

Maybe Cards can sign Bobby Thomson for insurance. . . .

Well that's awfully anthropomorphic
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
dogs also do that.
