Its not just the wins, his SO rate is up there. My guess is he is solid other than the meltdown bad inning that derails him so the numbers look good for most of a game.

They're giving Ellis Ab's over Wong, because of his previous seasons and what he's done in the past. What does end of his career have to do with it?

It just doesn't look good on the part of management to hold certain players to different standards. It reaks of cronyism.

If Lynn can locate his fastball, he's a solid 3/4 type pitcher.

Problem is, his mental instability and lack of composure rear it's head far to often or it has in big situations.

Wonder what happens to Jay when Taveras comes up? I'd hope they'd keep Bourjos and Grichuk up, but I doubt it.

I agree with you on Wong 100%. That has jack and shit to do with bailing on Craig right now.

**** it we should just shit can Carpenter too while we are at it.

I dont give a **** as long as they bring up Taveras and he rakes.

Is that the 1st challenge we won this year?

The Craig and Carpenter contracts are starting to look shaky, though. I'm not writing anyone off at this point, but just striking discussion.

Jesus Yadi.

They need to rectify that hasty decision right now, today. His replacement is hitting .143 and Delcasco will hit .200 if you stick him in there.

Everyone on the team wasn't hitting but Wong goes down? That was total BS.

Wong was hitting .232, every other player we've had a 2nd base was, as of Friday I believe, hitting .092

Its like Wong banged Matheny's wife or something. It looks a bit familiar when it comes to Cards middle infielders.

No way they send Jay down. Matheny won't allow it. It will be Grichuk that goes down.

Oh it for sure will be

Lolololololol

Bad. News. Bears.

Mother ****ing ****ing ****. Seriously?

Come on Yadi, damn.

Smother the ****er. Watching Yadi this year, I almost wonder if there's some lingering knee issues from last year. Seems like he's been a little off behind the plate

That magic shoehorn we had up our asses last year, yeah, where'd that go?

Just nothing going right.

Hamas was right, this team is looking alot like that 07 team.

I would rather it happen now than in October. I hope this is just an early rut.

God, good AB Holliday.

Ew

Double Ew.

3,4,5 really hit the hell out of that guy.

You guys would be funny to listen to as Royal fans ROFL

Heart of our line up ladies and gentlemen.

I've had better swings playing softball completely hammered than Holliday had on strike 3.

Seigrist is throwing smoke though.

So we just double switched and moved the pitchers spot into the 5 hole, behind Adams.

Carved up

Team needs a power bat so ****ing bad.

Missed that cement mixer

O city could hit .036 on the road

More like .336.

I've got power oozing out of every inch

You want to see Bourjos get ab's, but damn, show something kid.

That will do

Yadi!!!!!!

And my beat the streak stands at 1

Finally something good for this team. We need about an 8 game win streak

Godier Molina

I want to be patient, but he's headed for my turd list.

****ing Christ it takes Molina in the 2 hole to do something.

I have to give some credit to Matheny for making that move even if he did walk ass backwards into it.

Way to see some pitches there Matt

Damn near killed Angel there

I like Kruk.

ugh

Here we go...

Heh

Can't wait to get to ATL... Wait, not really..

We need to go kick the shit out of Atlanta and get this thing going

Rosenhausen is living dangerously.

Ya I am starting to worry about his velocity. He says it's a cold weather thing but I am not so sure.

There is no way there is not something going on with his knees. He has missed several balls this year because he didn't drop down on a knee or push off with the left knee to go get balls outside. He's keeping the pain on the down low.

We need to start planning on a post Yadi era. Thats pretty damn hard reality. He's got 2-3 years left on those knees. Maybe less.:deevee:

There is no post-Yadi reality. If sabermetricians knew how to properly value handling a pitching staff and pitch framing, he's probably a 10 WAR player.

There is no way we have another "Yadi" ready in 2-3 years or less. But we need to get another MLB caliber catcher ready to take over. It ain't cruz. And you can see that age is catching up to his knees. No one can beat age, not even the best catcher of his generation.

What he does with the pitchers, the calls, the leadership..........no one has found a way to calculate the value but we all know its invaluable. He may manage the Cardinals some day

I have no doubt his real estate acumen is superior to Matheny's as well.

Hey Simply Red.

Whats up your Braves hitters lately? They been watching the Cardinals hit?:)

I think the pitchers on both sides are going to have field days with both clubs hitters.

BTW, what's up with no fans in the stands?

Jay is out there in CF. It's 1-0 and another runner in scoring position. Bourgas just saved a run.

Horton is actually intimating that the Cardinals should put the winning run on base. :facepalm:

And that appears that is exactly what Matheny told Rosenthal to do.

Rosenhausen survives another one. It's just a matter of time before he completely implodes.

Or...his velocity & command come back around. Plus, sounds like Motte will be back to help soon.

Martinez will get the closer job. Motte will go to the 8th.

We barely won this one. If it was a turd by your guys what does it say about us?

So Bourjas goes 2-3. His speed caused an error that prolonged an inning that we scored 2 runs. Ran 3-4 balls down in the gap. And of course that gets you put on the bench for Jay. All ****ing Jay can do in ground into double plays. :#

And Delcasco gets the start at 2B. He will never hit above .240. Why does he get a start? Wong is hitting .348 down in AAA?

We need offense and we let these 2 start when we have better options. Pisses me off.

Gavin Floyd is hogshit. This is unacceptable.

Descalso is slashing .114/.162/.171

:facepalm:

I wonder what Braves fans think of Lyons?

While Wong is hitting .348.:cuss:

Horrible ****ing loss. Hurts that Johnson was struck out the pitch before he singled. ****ing umps.

Doesn't make sense in any way shape or form.

This might be the worst Cardinal offense of my life.

And any manager who takes his #3 hitter out of a tie game in the bottom of the 8th should be fired on the spot.
