what the cardinals are up to...
- Keeping up the winning streak. - Cards Conclave
- Tyler Lyons is the next replacement for Adam Wainwright. - Viva el Birdos
- Peter Bourjos, while representing the winning run with no outs, was picked off second base. The president of the Peter Bourjos fanclub has issued a statement:
We in the Peter Bourjos Fanclub are just as bewildered by that as you all. And that sucks. Hopefully it won't matter https://t.co/EuMnCVvoFC

The Cardinals, they just know how to win, we cant count them out, they just know how to win

the nl central
- Homer Bailey will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of the 2015 season. - Hardball Talk
- It does not help the Reds for other teams to know this.
Devin Mesoraco (hip) hasn't started a game since April 11 and he has zero hits in seven plate appearances as a bench bat. Odd situation.

Ron Roenicke stunned by timing of move. "I told Doug I wished it would have happened a week ago. I would have understood it better then."
— Adam McCalvy (@AdamMcCalvy) May 4, 2015 - And his replacement is Craig Counsell maybe? - Hardball Talk
- So that should fix everything.
