We weren't nine games behind at this point last year

So we're only here if contending?
Would VEB be fishstripes if we were .470 on the season?
Is Jon Jay the next Willie McGee? Is Arthur Rhodes the next Arthur Rhodes?
I don't know, and I don't want to find out anytime soon
But in all seriousness, if we were consistently .470 and our expectations of such a team were met, I’m sure it wouldn’t be as quiet around here. The fact that we went from 2 games back to 9 games at such a quick pace probably pissed people off a bit.

yeah, I guess. Has as much to do GO LANCE BERKMAN! with the Brewers as us, though.
They’re playing great ball and deserve the playoff spot.
Is Jon Jay the next Willie McGee? Is Arthur Rhodes the next Arthur Rhodes?
No I don't think so
I don’t expect it to this year either. Just a one off.

I hope we move from bitterness to acceptance and a rekindling of a love for Cardinals baseball soon.
I’m not remotely burnt out of the Cardinals, but VEB has not been a fun place of late.

I'm not sure if it's just that we're not winning, or that we're playing mediocre baseball and also not winning
If we were playing well and the Brewers just played that much better, that’d be one thing. But the Brewers have sustained an insane stretch of play while we’ve flailed about and looked like a middling team rather than a contender. It’s the worst of both worlds.
Ceterum censeo La Russa ire necesse est.
yeah, we've been just an ok club since that great run in May-early June.
Our pitching isn’t all that good.
Is Jon Jay the next Willie McGee? Is Arthur Rhodes the next Arthur Rhodes?
I think so, but I'm not sure.
Is Jon Jay the next Willie McGee? Is Arthur Rhodes the next Arthur Rhodes?
We've had some stretches where we looked good and other where we didn't.
We’re ok. You know as well as I that 2 and a half months of being 6 below .500 doesn’t mean you’re a horrible team. Also, you’re choosing our high watermark and then just looking after that. Yeah, we’re not great. We see all this potential because we have some great hitters, but Carp and Jaime are not top-tier 1-2 guys right now and we have question marks behind that.
I don’t know. It’s a pointless argument.
Is Jon Jay the next Willie McGee? Is Arthur Rhodes the next Arthur Rhodes?
I just think a team that is capable of putting together a winning streak longer than 4 games isn't all that good
and I’m gonna blame the manager on this one, because I think we have the talent to be a very good team. It’s just the story of this season, a shit-ton of smack your head- YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME- moments.
I don't think winning streaks are relevant.
Going 4-1 and then 4-1 is just as good as 6-0 then 2-2.
But I certainly agree that TLR has not been very good this year.
Is Jon Jay the next Willie McGee? Is Arthur Rhodes the next Arthur Rhodes?
yeah, winning streaks probably aren't all that revelent
consistency would be nice.
I suppose even with the loss of Wainwright, I expected more out of this team than it has shown, especially with this possibly being Albert’s last year.
All in all, I just expected better decisions to be made, about this season, and the future.
I certainly agree with the latter.
I’m not at all happy with the Rasmus trade.
Is Jon Jay the next Willie McGee? Is Arthur Rhodes the next Arthur Rhodes?
i don't think that the Rasmus trade has hurt this team that bad this year
however, i think losing someones favorite player has made this performance less bearable.
Grit != flat out sucking.
well at one point
we were over .500 by 13 games. We are no longer over .500 by 13 games. So we have been below .500 since then.
Check my math
Grit != flat out sucking.
I leave that to clank
I keep watching, cause I love this team. Not once all season has it went on a run where it excited me, and I can’t remember the last time that happened. Frustrating Team is frustrating.
Also: FRUSTRATING
You weren't excited when we were putting up huge run totals and getting to 13 over a couple of weeks before the break?
Is Jon Jay the next Willie McGee? Is Arthur Rhodes the next Arthur Rhodes?
You're on your own man
I’ve given up trying to fight the gloom around here. I’m hoping it will just pass.
Carp looks sharp.
There was a point they were first in power rankings
That I was excited, then they started being frustrating again.

but i watch anyway
I may be in a rut, but at least I know where I'm going

I still like it.
I get that it’s been a somewhat frustrating season, but if you asked me on day 1 what was the probability we’d make the playoffs if the Brewers played to their ability and Waino wouldn’t throw a pitch for us, I’d say 10%, so it’s hard for me to be disappointed. I’ve LOVED watching Berk hit for us, and I think this will be a one-season deal. I think there’s a small but real chance this is the end of Albert. I’m still eating it up, despite our obvious flaws.
Is Jon Jay the next Willie McGee? Is Arthur Rhodes the next Arthur Rhodes?
Thanks in part to certain posters' tenacious optimism
I am steadily moving past the “BLARGH” phase and into the “Oh look, there’s a baseball game on, I think I will enjoy it and hope the Cardinals are victorious, and not think too hard about any ramifications beyond that” phase.
Ceterum censeo La Russa ire necesse est.
I will continue to be critical of macro stuff when I see fit
But meh. At this point I’m already growing tired of eulogizing 2011.
Ceterum censeo La Russa ire necesse est.
WHO IS DOING THAT? HANG THE BASTARD!!!
Is Jon Jay the next Willie McGee? Is Arthur Rhodes the next Arthur Rhodes?
I really wish the Brewers would have just won this many games at a normal pace
Instead of a crazy-impossible winning streak. Slowly falling behind a better team is less depressing than watching them rocket away from you down the stretch.
It has less to do with this year for me
I figured this team was built to be frustrating (with the loss of Wainwright and the defensive configuration) and I was pleasantly surprised with their jump out of the gate. What really gets me is that we hurt the 2012 and 2013 Cards, in my estimation, in some futile attempt to patch together several holes this season. It’s tougher to shake that. Obviously, this a dead horse.

An umpire's strike zone changing is the "worst thing that happen to a pitch" says Al
I would contend that giving up a homer or something would be worse.
naw
home run really only effects one batter, where the strike zone changing can effect every batter for several innings.
I hate agreeing with Al. I feel dirty

I like the Irish Stout, the Kolsch, the Octoberfest, the Scotch Ale, and the Saison a lot
I also like the Pilsner, the Pale Ale, and the Hefeweizen and Weissbier (I honestly can’t remember if there is a difference or they just changed the name or what) as well, they are solid.
Some of those are seasonal I think, so obviously you won’t necessarily be able to get them all right now.
Last time I went to the tap room I tried the smoked porter and loved it. Not in stores though to my knowledge.

No, not yet
I haven’t gotten around to shopping for expensive beer lately, just sticking to whatever looks interesting in the grocery store.
Though, I did try the Cathedral Square abbey ale and liked it. It was not mind-blowing but it was good.

Carp
He’s right there with Tudor as my favorite Cardinal pitcher in my lifetime. He’s developed some anger management issues somehow, and I can totally understand why other team’s fans wouldn’t like him, but he’s been ridiculously effective for us for a long time. Also there are the facts only I care about – he is something like 20-1 in games I have attended, with an average game length of about 2:02.
I don’t really think we should take on that option, but I’d hate to see him finish his career elsewhere too.
I'd love to see him
finish his career in Seattle.
The whole Brendan Ryan deal really soured me on Carp. In my book, you just don’t backstab a teammate like that
I still think you're given Carp too much of the blame there
are or you going by that one dressing down on espn?
I think that was overblown
He wanted the guy as his SS every start, right? I think it was used by idiots as support of why Ryan “had to go”, but I don’t believe Carp actually wanted him gone. If he did, why would he want him as his SS?
by Merry CRasmus on Aug 22, 2011 9:30 PM EDT up reply actions
Don't remember the timing of the mentions
But I recall that when Ryan was deep in his hitting funk, he’d still get starts with Carpenter on the mound. Ryan undoubtedly did things that could set people off, and Carp undoubtedly has a short fuse, but Carp didn’t run him out of town.

I don’t care about the playoffs.
In all honesty, I really don’t care much about the playoffs, anyway. Sure they are nice, but I like watching a fun, enjoyable team.
I wish we could get rid of all the old, crappy players on the team (Skip, Patterson, etc) and replace them with young, crappy players. At least they would be something different.
Wonder if Freese can draw a walk here...
Let APu come up with bases loaded in a non-potential DP situation.

The recipe they use is basically tomatoes, tons of crushed red pepper, vinegar, some pickling spices in one of those cloth bag thingies (to let it soak in there so you can take it out)
maybe a couple others ingredients. It’s really simple and really tasty.

Could be they're a little hoity toity and assume random people can't handle the real thing.

Is Jon Jay the next Willie McGee? Is Arthur Rhodes the next Arthur Rhodes?
you realize that salas can throw what he wants, right?
he’s not going to throw 3 straight change ups if he’s not comfortable doing so, this is not little league
he's a rookie
and i din’t think he would shake off in that situation

I dunno
It makes sense to me. Your starter has thrown 100 pitches, looks like he’s tired.
You put in a LOOGY and then your closer.
Most managers would do that.
What most managers wouldn’t do (and shouldn’t) is when it doesn’t work out, put in a SS with an injured hand. I mean, the only hope of not allowing a run that inning was either a strike out or a ground ball. Motte got the ground ball, but Furcal couldn’t grip the ball for the throw, because of his injury.
Not to mention
You lose Berkman’s bat when you have to bat. Which they would have had to do anyway.
Unless Berkman has an injury, that’s just dumb.
Except when Carp is usually at 100 pitches,
Tired, and has given up 12 hits and 4 runs, TLR usually has him throw 20-30 more. You can defend putting in Rhodes I guess bc it worked but I don’t see how taking out Carp when he has a shutout going and putting in a washed up reliever who has gotten absolutely rocked lately into a one run game in the 9th inning.
It just bothers me bc we are already way out of the race, and Carp has been a victim of some really shitty luck and run support this season. TLR has shown faith in him all season and then decides not to when he is 3 outs away from a CG shutout.
by mick311 on Aug 22, 2011 11:13 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
in those 130 pitch games
Carpenter hasn’t really looked tired durring those last two innings. He gave up a hard hit ball that he got lucky on, and then hit a guy with the next pitch.
I always say its better pull a pitcher early than late. However; the bigger issue here was all of the defensive switches that went along with it.
Grit != flat out sucking.
I totally agree with the defensive moves being the worse decision
Just saying its disappointing, I feel like, to take him out there. We arent 1 game back, were 9 out, let your ace try and finish it.

Well, I'm honestly becoming a little bored with how this team keeps losing perfectly winnable games
I mean, could we lose in a different way just to mix it up please? The constant disappointment is making me numb to it. If we just played terribly instead of always-not-good-enough it would at least break the boredom. I’d be more pissed off probably, but at least I’d care.
Ceterum censeo La Russa ire necesse est.
So, I'm going to the game on Friday,
a few questions -
1) What’s Busch’s sign policy? If I were to say, make a banner that said “RETIRE LARUSSA” would I have to roll it up under my shirt to get it in to the park?
2) What’s the etiquette? I figure I’d roll it up during actual gameplay so as not to impede the views of other people, but showing the sign during between-inning breaks should be permissible, right?
3) What’s the over-under on “number of innings before I get the sign taken away/asked to leave”?
personally I would get a bunch of friends and wear t-shirts that spell it

JACKPOT!
Banner policy, per the Cards’ site…
Banners may be displayed as long as they do not hinder or interfere with a ball in play or distract or interfere with the view of another guest. Banners may not be displayed in fair territory, be obscene or in poor taste, attract abuse or cause a disturbance among other guests. They should be baseball-oriented and not commercial in nature, unless the Cardinals and Stadium management have granted permission. Also, banners may not be paraded around the Stadium or hung over the field boxes on the field level.
The Play
One thing funny about the Miles AB when he hits the triple. If you look at the outfield positioning, Jay is playing him to left center and Schumaker playing him to pull in right. This left a hge area in right center, which is exactly where he hit the ball. It wasn’t hit all that well, but those two outfielders, being slow anyway, had no shot the y way they were positioned.
well yeah
the played him to hit into left or down the right field line. Miles beat the defense. Not sure if Salas was pitching to that defense or if Miles just did that pesky grit thing.
Straight up defense we’d still be playing ball right now.
Grit != flat out sucking.
I sent him out for the 9th inning, I didn't see him wearing down
And yet I simultaneously thought that Rhodes, Salas, and Motte were a better combination in the 9th after the leadoff HBP than my ace who had his best stuff of the year.
Is very bad to steal A-Pu's rum...is very bad.
The last pitch of the 8th was HORRIBLE. Kemp should have sent it to Big Mac Land.
Is Jon Jay the next Willie McGee? Is Arthur Rhodes the next Arthur Rhodes?
Almost as bad as the 1st pitch Rhodes threw to Ethier

Over his career, Ethier is "Ryan Theriot with less on-base ability" when he's facing lefties.
Rhodes destroyed him in that at-bat.
Is Jon Jay the next Willie McGee? Is Arthur Rhodes the next Arthur Rhodes?
Ethier against LHP:
Career: .243/.303/.361
This year (fwiw): .226/.265/.314
Is Jon Jay the next Willie McGee? Is Arthur Rhodes the next Arthur Rhodes?

I’m trying to explain to people how my son has started his batting stance
it’s a mix between bagwell and the zoolander face…any help?
because TLR
I switched to Jurassic Park
after pujols flied out, I’m guessing we did nothing significant?
Piss off Tony, get shipped to Canada.
Well
Since we (and myself) are on the TLR lynching bandwagon, he left on Corey Patterson instead of say, maybe Allen Craig, and then Rafael Furcal, who since he can’t grasp a baseball but was put in for “defensive purposes”, I assume cannot grasp a bat very well.
hahaha

Carpenter was predictably quiet following the game but did say he “appreciated the reaction of the fans” when asked about coming out.

And yet
Somehow Corey Patterson has basically made a major league career out of AAAA ability
And yet, if Greene were to actually play in the majors, would no doubt at least get on base more often. Okay, he might hit .220, but he’d have an OBP of over .300

Despite what people think
TLR will be back.
Heck, the way the owner feels about him, TLR could pass away tomorrow, have it in his will that he wants to be the Cardinals manager for the next 10 years, and he’d still be the manager.
(And sadly, they’ve likely have a better record with zombie TLR than the living one)

Are there really many who think he won't be back?
He’s so close to 2nd place in wins, I can’t believe he wouldn’t. Doesn’t mean I can’t hope, right?
Still not a werewolf.
You're probably right
And I argued as much earlier today, but maybe the fans will keep booing the hell out of him. I can only hope, because I believe that is our only shot.
