    The Cardinals are done. 31 of their last 60 games are against teams that are .500 or better right now. To compare, the Brewers have 20 of their last 56 against .500+ teams, and we have 17 of our last 59. More than half of their rotation is composed of some combination of Kip Wells, Mike Maroth, Anthony Reyes, Brad Thompson, and Todd Wellemeyer; and the rest of the rotation is Adam Wainwright and Braden Looper. Pujols and Duncan are the only regulars that have hit this year. And they've been lucky, outperforming their Expected W-L by 5 games prior to today's shenanigans. I know the reputation the Cardinals have brings a lot of people pause, but they are finished this year, and quite possibly til 2009 if Carpenter, Edmonds, and Rolen continue to serve as contractual sandbags.

    all three writers who did top 50 rankings for the Baseball America Prospect Handbook disagreed with you after last season. Two didn't have him in their top 50. There's a rather significant difference between evaluating Felix Pie prior to 2007, and evaluating Felix Pie as of now when he's putting up a 1.000 OPS in AAA at age 22, while raising his BB% and LD% slightly, and dropping his K% a significant amount.
  3. Transmogrified Tiger
    Felix is an elite prospect. Top 25 in the game.
  4. Transmogrified Tiger
    Griffey was 0-6 this weekend, please no Jim
  5. Transmogrified Tiger
    That's why the Brewers are 11 games below .500 away from Miller Park if they lose this one. Ludwick walks! 6-5 Cardiac Cards
  6. Transmogrified Tiger
    base hit 5-5
  7. Transmogrified Tiger
    Cardinal analyst ranting about how Turnbow's shoulder shrug as he takes a deep breath before the pitch should be a balk.
  8. Transmogrified Tiger
    How in the world did Molina hit that?
  9. Transmogrified Tiger
    Sean strikes out the side on 13 pitches in the 5th. He's rolling. 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 7/0 K/BB, 70 pitches And that's the final line for Gallagher, Cotts replaces him on the mound in the 6th.
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    Wow. I didn't notice that. To me, that makes it much more realistic that Hendry can add Griffey to this team. Also, isn't Prior arby-eligible? Ack, forgot about Prior. He's not going to be getting any type of raise though, and in the off chance he does it's not going to be much at all, < 1 mil.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    A little less conventional 1-2-3 for Gallagher in the 4th. Simokaitis committed an error to let the first man reach, then both were retired on an unconventional double play that I can't figure out. 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 4/0 K/BB, 57 pitches Iowa leads 3-0 after an error on a sac bunt scores two runners.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    Linebrink showing off why he was worth that prospect haul. WP moves runners to 2nd and 3rd, so now they're walking Pujols. 1 out and Duncan coming up with the bases loaded.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    1-2-3 third for Gallagher, 2 groundouts and a fly to Pie. 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 4/0 K/BB, 50 pitches Offensively, Pie, Patterson, and Soto are all 0-2.
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    Zambrano signing an extension worth 17 million annually adds less than 5 million to the payroll. He's already making 12+ this year. Put another way, adding Griffey and extending Zambrano adds only 7 million to the payroll if coupled with Jones and Eyre not being on the club next year. Also of note, the Cubs aren't facing any jumps in arbitration this year. Their only eligibles right now are Ohman, Wuertz, and Cotts.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    Different inning, same story. 2 K's and a 2 out hit(this time a single) 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 4/0 K/BB, 41 pitches for Gallagher
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    Gallagher scatters a 2 out double amongst 2 K's in the first inning. A not-so-efficient 21 pitches thru 1.
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    hahahahahahaha
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    Ball gets away from Estrada, 5-3 runner on 3rd and one out for Ludwick and Pujols.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    We just won 6-0. We have been playing great baseball without Murton. Who cares about Murton at this point? Namely because the people getting playing time instead of him(Floyd and Fontenot) are not hitting at all.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    It may not be related, but Junior's first injury-free season(thus far) of the millennium has coincided with him playing RF instead of CF everyday.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Z's foot saves his arm
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    I've argued the same thing in the past. Seems to me, you get a lot more chances to throw LF to home/2nd than you do RF to home/3rd/2nd. Cause and effect though. Is that because there are more opportunities, or are there more opportunities because the weaker arm is traditionally in LF and the stronger in RF?
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Ramirez is a stallion.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    It's your only job on that play to get out there, West. What a tool.
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    Carlos with under 20 pitches in the first inning. Time to throw him a parade to celebrate.
