****!! I thought he had that one.

****. 0-2.

This AB is over.

stupid pos cardnals

God **** you, Brendan Ryan.

And double **** you, Mozeliak.

Same piece of rat **** left 3/4s of the infield we've had since 2007 and we haven't done jack ****ing shit to improve it.

Damn...I can't believe Hoffman actually got a save.

I could get Brendan Ryan out, and I probably throw about 60.

someone need to get him on some ridaline

Albert is not our problem.

If we paly like we did in Cincy the playoffs are a lock. We play like we have since Cincy....we are dead team walking.

Never said he was.

Ownership's refusal to put a team around him is.

The Cardinals have made it apparent that they intend to create an Albert circuis, winning be damned.

Think Ryan Ludwick might've been useful the last few nights? Get used to it, because we're going to keep dumping salary and talent so we can afford to pay for the owners golden calf.

The Cubs traded Derrick Lee to the Braves today.

To bad they didn't move the one who sucks the penis last week. :grr:

It's not just ownership.

Brad Hawpe cleared waivers today. They should immediately sign Hawpe and cut Winn.

He's had a terrible year, but the guy had four straight years of 20+ HRs.

We need that kind of power in the corner OF right now, even if it is just a bat off the bench.

Reds rallied from a 4 run deficit in the 8th to score 8 unanswered. They are now three clear.

I put our odds of winning the division at 5-1.

The Cards traded for Feliz today-

ST. LOUIS (AP)—The St. Louis Cardinals got some help at third base on Thursday, acquiring Pedro Feliz(notes) from the Houston Astros for minor league pitcher David Carpenter.

The Cardinals also placed catcher Jason LaRue(notes) on the 60-day disabled list. LaRue sustained a concussion in a fracas with the Reds earlier this month.

Felipe Lopez(notes) has been starting at third base since David Freese(notes) was sidelined by injuries in June. He’s slumped at the plate and in the field lately, committing two errors on Wednesday, prompting the Cardinals to go after the 35-year-old Feliz.

He started for the Phillies’ 2008 World Series team, and has played 97 games for the Astros while batting .221 with four homers and 31 RBIs. Feliz also has the second-best fielding percentage among third baseman since 2007 at .967.

He’s made 60 starts at third base and 10 at first base for Houston.

“It’s been a tough year for him, and with the changes that we’ve made, his playing time would continued to be limited,” Astros general manager Ed Wade said. “This deal puts him back into a pennant race and his veteran presence should help the Cardinals.”

Carpenter was 5-3 with a 2.36 ERA and 20 saves at Class-A Palm Beach.

“We’ve acquired a power arm for our system and we’ll give him every chance to develop into a major leaguer,” Wade said.

The Astros also reinstated infielder Tommy Manzella(notes) from the disabled list. Manzella hit .366 (15 for 41) in 11 games during a rehab stint from a fractured left index finger. He was batting .212 in 59 games with Houston, with one homer and 16 RBIs.

So help is on the way in the form of one of the worst hitting 3B's in the majors?
