  1. Billingsly is legit...we're going to have quite a hard time tonight.
  2. I would love to get a 1 day contract from the Cardinals just so that one day I could tell my grandkids I hit a major league Home Run
  3. Man the Cardinals might be in first place by the end of the weekend at the rate they are going. I hate this.
  4. Win or watch your NL Central lead reduce to 1.5 games.
  5. Who the hell are Matt Worrell and Mike Parisi? Mike Parisi is a guy that the Cardinals picked up on the street on the team bus ride to the game.
  6. I hate my life
  7. Well the Cubs have determined they can bring up awesome relievers and gritty utility players, so they are drafting what they know they can develop. Look for a catcher in the third round.
  8. on MLB.com analysis they say he doesn't have the range to stick at SS. Kind of disappointing as they also point out that he doesn't have much power either. Meh, as they say, power always comes last.
  9. Wow were they really drafting for a September bullpen arm?
  10. Mark Pawelek Ryan Harvey Bobby Brownlie Luis Montanez Ben Christensen
  11. Everytime I follow the Nationals, I marvel at how much they suck. Then I realize that we lost 2/3 to them :(
  12. I'm convinced, the Cardinals will win the World Series this year.
  13. BTW, after today, the Cardinals will have played the third easiest schedule in baseball this year. This is after including the Cubs for three games, which heavily spikes it up. The only 2 teams below them in SOS (and the team directly above them) are from the NL West, which has been beating up each other all year. Basically what I'm trying to say is, the Cardinals schedule is going to get much harder.
  14. Glaus 2 run homer. The luckiest team on Earth leads 2-0
  15. I honestly don't believe that Carp is going to come back as strong as he was before. 80% maybe.
  16. The only thing I want to know is if this year's first round pick will get to A ball before last year's pick? I got high hopes about Vitters and since he's struggled, I've been pretty apathetic towards this years draft.
  17. Traditionally, after a slow start, June is when Derrek would heat up. Yup, but normally I'd be worried about Soto more because it seems like he can't hit breaking pitches, but Derrek has just been awful lately. He needs to move down in the order until he figures it out. Pitchers are figuring out Soto, and hes going to have to adjust. This sounds like a job for Gerald Perry. I'm just upset because I remember when the Cubs were in Cincinnati (I think) I remember Len saying something to the effect of, the pitchers are avoiding Soto because he has the least holes in his swing and is the most dangerous hitter. Ever since the Nationals threw nothing but breaking pitches to him, he hasn't been the same. He has been able to hit the breaking pitch more since then, giving him a few fastballs again, but almost every AB I see vs. Soto, there are always a healthy diet of curves and sliders, etc.

  19. I'd really like it if Soto and Lee could pretend its April.
