OK bunt him over Soriano so that Fukudome can drive him in. -
He's still cursing angrily at his locker because of yesterday's K.
-
Speaking of Marmol, he should probably get some work in. He hasn't pitched since Sunday and has yet to make a home appearance this season.
-
The bullpen has thrown only 1 perfect inning in the 13 innings they've thrown this homestand. That was the 6th inning of Wednesday's game against Colorado by Luis Vizcaino
-
Not jumping to conclusions, but name one 2B that could be out there in July just in case....
-
He went.
-
HR, Marmol, Gregg, go home.
-
Here comes a lefty if the Cardinals are smart at all.
-
Wow...where the heck were the MI's playing on that AB? Slow rolling grounder to the left of 2B, and not only does he get on but he scores a runner from 2nd?
-
What an ugly swing. The man cannot hit breaking pitches, back to Iowa for you.
-
Of course they'll waste it. Its there thing that they do. Leadoff double with your 3-4-5 hitters up and the runner never advances to 3rd? Yup that's us.

Talking about likelihood is useful before something happens. Afterward it is irrelevant. It happened. Now you know that everyone who said it wouldn't happen was wrong. Comparing him to Hoffpauir is something you could have done back when you knew less about him. And as I type... Yeah you proved my point wrong because Ludwick hit a home run as we were discussing this. Is GWRB down today or something? What? The homerun was an ironic coincidence. I know, I was just upset from the HR momentarily, and then found like 3 Cardinals posters talking about the home run and I wondered how we became a place for Cardinals fans to come when their team is beating ours. Your fine, you've cemented yourself as a tolerable Cards fan.
-
Koskue has definitely been the one bright spot of the season so far.
-
Care to bet? I'll find at least 5 stretches last year when the Cubs went 5-5 and looked as bad or worse than this.
-
The only thing that will make me feel better about this game is chocolate pop tarts.
-
We started out 1-3 at home last year too...
-
I don't think you get the joke...when the Cubs give up a ton of HRs you are supposed to pretend like past players on that team are hitting HRs, not just random MLB players from the past. Mendoza never played for the Cardinals.

Bernard Gilkey homers to left centerfield.

Speaking of Ludwick
-
Due up for the Cardinals: Brian Jordan Bernard Gilkey Mark McGwire

Would you be pissed if Hoffpauir hit 37 home runs this year? Because that would be the same situation as Ludwick. No not mad but Ludwick was a second round pick with a lot of promise. I do not believe Hoffpauir was drafted in the first 10 rounds. All this points out is he was highly rearded and not some undrafted player...Barden was highly touted before he had the hernia issues as well. The Cards have been good about looking at players that others have neglegted to care about. Ludwick had a great year in the minors before the Cards got him. We're not talking about the potential some player had in 1998. We're talking about how said player was regarded the year they came up to the bigs and got their first real shot at playing everyday. Ludwich wasn't among the top 11 prospects in the Cards organization coming into 2008, thus he wasn't a high regarded prospect. Show me where someone projected a 1.000+ OPS for Ludwick anywhere. Even on the day he was drafted. It doesn't exist because he wasn't expected to do it. He was probably just as likely as Hoffpauir to randomly explode and hit 37 HRs

Another Cards fan here. We are not irked by Fontenot and Theriot. But I doubt any Cubs fan is seriously irked by our no-named infielders. I wouldn't be irked either, except we can't seem to get Brian freaking Barden out! Arizona couldn't either. He's having a great road trip. Barden again. Like I said, he's having a great road trip. Good for him
-
? In real life, or did Pierre play on the Cardinals at some point I don't remember?
-
There are a lot of 1st, 2nd, 3rd round picks that either flame out or have bad luck with injuries. They then because non-prospects. And then the rare 1% that make a comeback and start to rake are irritating for rivals of the teams they play on. I think it's just irritating because in the mid 2000's, the Cards were blessed with a middle of the order with Pujols, Edmonds, Rolen, Walker, etc. Then Edmonds declined and moved on, Rolen got hurt and moved on, and all the sudden it looked like the Cardinals had Pujols and a bunch of scrubs. And better yet, other than Rasmus they didn't seem to have anything in the minors to help them and their management wasn't opening up their pocketbooks to sign players. So Cubs fans breathe a sigh of relief.....and then watch as Ryan Ludwick comes out of nowhere and gives them another Pujols.
