Cardinals News and Notes: the Memphis Mafia, rain delays, and Jedd Gyorko

Happy weekend, everyone!! Here’s what VEB has been up to lately—aside from posting more than the Cardinals can score (14 runs in the last 8 games)

• In the series primer for this weekend in Cincy, Craig Edwards shows us the Cardinals aren’t a disaster, but they certainly are frustrating. The Cardinals lost the first game of the series 3-2, falling to 17 and 22 in 1-run games.

• In the Daily Farm Report, Josey Curtis discussed the minor league Cardinals including an Aledmys Diaz sighting.

• The roof saved the Cardinals Brewers game from a rain delay earlier this week, but the Cubs and Diamondbacks didn't have that luxury. As you can see, rain delays can be fun! (via LS93)

• I talked about Jedd Gyorko. He's in a tremendous slump, but he still provides value thanks to his cheap contract.
