we're rotten fruit, we're damaged goods

each win counts as one win, and each loss counts as one loss - nothing more nor less, regardless of how ecstatic or heart-rending each one is. nevertheless, we just witnessed two of the more disspiriting games in recent memory - certainly, the worst since that dodgers sweep this summer, the one that involved aaron miles discovering that he can make that last number in his slash line move independently of the others. sitting 3 games out, with five left to play, not only requires that the cardinals win most or all of the remaining games, it requires that the braves lose most or all of their remaining games. not a zero probability, but probably nothing you want to think too hard about. in case you're inclined, though, consider the following: our wild card elimination number is now 3. that means that if we lose and/or the braves win a number of games totalling 3, we are out of the race. in other words, if the braves win two of the next five games, we have to go 5-0; if the braves win only one of the next five games, we have to win at least 4 of the next five. if the braves lose all five remaining games, we STILL have to win at least three games. not impossible, but the combination of us winning a lot of games and the braves losing a lot seem pretty poor. mostly, i'm annoyed at the recent losses - as much as one can be at individual games - because there's certainly a level of avoidability to them. watching a team - with an expanded september bullpen, mind you - push 3 or 4 relievers night after night, without rest, is frustrating. jason motte, for instance, pitched 6 of 8 nights from september 9 to september 16. yet, the only conceivable defense for the reliever usage (that we want to put the best guys out there every night) is turned upside down on the position player side. last night we watched skip schumaker start in the outfield, with ryan theriot at second. seeing both of them start the same game should pretty much NEVER happen - skip schumaker is more or less only useful against RH pitchers (career wOBA v. LHP - .245; .338 v. RHP), and ryan theriot's only excuse for being on the field is when there's a leftie on the mound (career wOBA v. RHP .303; v. LHP .344). as dempster was a RH pitcher, skippy or descalso would have been tolerable choices at second base, but allen craig would have been an obvious choice in LF. adron chambers would not have been a terrible second choice as the best lefthanded hitting OF who wasn't already on the field. instead, we ended up playing more subpar defenders in the field than we needed to, defenders who were not paying back on the offensive side the runs they gave up with their gloves. 'one burst and we will probably crumble.'
now, in fairness, we're doing about as well as it was reasonable to expect at the outset of the season. we're at 86 wins now, which for a wainwright-less cardinal team, was about what i would have predicted. to the extent we're able to put together any kind of winning streak in the last five games, we will have exceeded my expectations from the beginning of the season. i'm just left with this strong sense that we've left maybe half a dozen games on the table through terrible in-game decision making and the refusal to cut bait on players with no role on the team. still, i do think the team deserves some credit. while the roster management has had

Tom? I imagine you had to post prematurely in a heroic effort before being dragged off by the front office minions
Though we may not make the playoffs, I’m pretty thankful that at least we’ve been watching some pretty great baseball the last couple of weeks.
Of course, one of the downsides to the inspired play is that we will all now have to wonder how much better a team this could have been if our manager wasn’t such a douche. I’m not saying we’re a Phillies/Yankees caliber team, but certainly this team has the stuff to be in the postseason.
Oh, well. Back to listening to “Everybody Hurts” on replay with my pal John Daniels.

I can't agree with you more.
I think our team is actually better than the Braves and the Brewers. Just terribly, terribly managed and i think it is fair to say it definitely cost us a few games.

This is why all of the "we're doing better than our projections" sometimes irritates the hell out of me
I understand where these people are coming from, but I don’t have a problem with playing above the projections, which is what this team would be doing if its manager hadn’t completely lost it at times this season.

considering the maths these last two weeks,
and the absence of WW, I can’t say I’m extremely disappointed with the team’s showing. It’s difficult though not to think of some of those bullpen explosions earlier in the year (and thurday) and not think of what might have been. But I’ve really enjoyed september baseball, and I have to say actually pleased with much of our playing crew.
I’m putting our absence from the postseason (yet again) squarely on tlr this year. I’m going to fantasize about landing APu with the a descent contract this off-season, even though I don’t see that happening.
My next, perhaps more realistic fantasy is that we only have to put up with the manager just one more year. Let him make his worthless counting stat, move to number two on the list, and then cut bait and run. Oh, and find a good pitching coach to replace that hole. and a rec for this:
i’m just left with this strong sense that we’ve left maybe half a dozen games on the table through terrible in-game decision making and the refusal to cut bait on players with no role on the team.

I think that we’re seeing a bit of what it’s going to be like without Dunc. Maybe he could’ve stopped the bleeding, maybe not. But I’d like to think that he’d have a more positive impact than Lilliquist has had.

Agree about KMac
quite a few people were utterly incredulous earlier in the year when I said we should almost certainly non-tender him next year, but I still stand by that. He’s fine, in a 5th-best-righty in the bullpen, Brad Thompson sorta role, but TLR has fairly consistently used him too much in high-leverage situations (often, admittedly, due to a lack of better options) and as a starter he’s horribly over-exposed the 3rd time through a lineup. Given you can get pitchers of that sort for a couple of mill on the FA market, and given our pitching depth, I really can’t see where he fits in next year.

a year too late!
per MLBTR:
Negotiations between the players’ union and the owners are moving at a fast pace according to Joel Sherman of The New York Post, and he reports that the two sides have all but agreed to add one wild card team per league. A one-game playoff would then determine which wild card team advances. The system could be installed as soon as next season, but no later than 2013.

Also gives additional incentive to winning the division. Hm.
So far I think I like it. I feared that it’d be another 3+ game series to further drag on the postseason.
Still not a werewolf.
My two cents
I have seen a number of managers come and go in the years
that I have followed the Cards and I never developed a special
like or dislike for any of them.
They were just there like the umpires
and I took most of there decisions for granted, wether it be roster
management or in game stragedy but I can truly say now that I am
sick and tired of La Russa and it will take a lot of the pleasure of
watching the Cardinals next year if I have to see his presence in the
dugout when the camera zooms in about a dozen times a game.
It might take more than removing Larussa to make this team into a winner,
I don’t know, but I do know this. It’s a good start. This team as it is constructed
and Tony La Russa as manager is a bad match.

Completely frustrating to watch this season shot to hell by Soriano.
And somebody forgot to tell Kyle to not throw anything over the plate to the guy. He threw two meatballs low over the heart of the plate, and decided to come back with a third. Disgusting.

Now we've re-signed Berkman
which is, btw, a brilliant move (at least in isolation – I realise it’s making offering more than $25m to Pujols almost impossible), I’d be happy to let Albert walk, play Craig full-time in RF, and go out and actually sign (or trade for) a competent 2B long-term. This team has been far too long plugging mediocre filler in at that position.

but if, for some reason, we do sign APu (which I don’t prognosticate) it would be nice to try to find a way to work craig’s bat in the line up

does it really affect the pujols negotiations that much?
why not offer pujols $18m in 2012 (so he’s the highest paid cardinal) and then make up the AAV by tacking an extra mil or so onto each of the following years. will albert care about getting paid $18m/$26m/$26m/$26m/$27m/$27m versus $25m/$25m/$25m/$25m/$25m/$25m?
home isn't where it used to be. home is anywhere you hang your head. - macmanus
You really think 6/150 gets it done?
I’d definitely do that but I think the desired deal is surely closer to 300 than 150 in total value from Albert’s perspective. I find it very hard to believe that SOMEONE wouldn’t give him over $200m, even in the current climate (and with both Boston and New York possibly out of it).

with the proviso that, yes, this is cherry-picked and therefore is probably more illustrative than predictive, wanna know a difference between playoof teams and the Cardinals? Main 2Bs by WAR:
Kinsler 6.8
Cano 5.8
Pedroia 7.6
Raburn/Santiago 2.6
Utley 3.6 (with substantial injury time)
Weeks 3.8 (with a bunch of others adding positive value)
Uggla 2.5
Johnson/Hill 2.5
Schumaker/Theriot 1.3
My favorite words are goodbye, and my favorite color is red
also., Punto out-WARed the combination of Schumaker and Theriot
in about 1/5th of the PAs of the other two, combined. Having Punto injured most of the season was sneakily devastating to our playoff chances, huh?

This is true
After Mc Cellan threw the first pitch. I knew it was going to end in a bad result. There is no excuse for letting Soriano beat you. You throw him nothing but breaking balls off the plate. He will fist every time. and the sad part of that is McCellan can do that. It was truly mystifing.
I thought it was a FB?
I guess I’d be less worried if it was a slider – I think EVER throwing a fastball over the plate to Soriano should pretty much be a DFA-able offense. In fact throwing basically anything other than breaking balls in the dirt should be heavily sanctioned…

Few sports fans love their team as much, while generating such invective for it as Cubs fans.
Here’s a fun take-down of the Cubs season from Yahoo sports (also, handily, linked in the sidebar).
Highlights:
Tyler Colvin (…) Your OPS plus is 42. Forty-two! Juan Pierre’s is 83. If you were twice as good as you are now, you’d still be as useless as Juan Pierre. Juan makes outs for a living. The good news is, you’ve now played in 217 big league games, that’s enough to qualify for the MLB dental plan. Do everyone a favor. Use it.
Dempster (…) I’m not sure how Zambrano gets an unending stream of crap thrown at him, while you don’t pitch any better and people act like you’re Roy Halladay around here. You’re just as overpaid as Zambrano is, but you never get any crap. It’s not like you ruined the 2008 season by walking seven guys in game one of the playoffs or anything. You should be very proud of extending your streak of allowing more hits than the season before to four, and the fact that your strikeout-to-walk ratio continues to get worse every year. But you just keep kissing up to the media and maybe nobody will notice. On the bright side you didn’t break anything trying to get to the handshake line after a game this year. So there’s that.
Starlin Castro (…). I almost excused you from this today. Almost. You son, are good at baseball. You were born to hit. You were also born to turn routine grounders into balls that rattle around the first base dugout, but you can work on that. You’re going to get 200 hits and you’re only 21. (…) The reason I can’t let you out is because that one Sunday night you let your mind wander for three full innings and you committed the worst sin any player … nay, any human can make. You made Bobby Valentine’s observations correct. I can’t forgive that of anyone.
(I hate it when I don’t check for a new thread…)
