Kyle: Get your ****ing shit together.

That is all.

For one lefty in the late innings, he's a very nice weapon.

But again - how is Luis Mendoza on a major league roster? Brad Thomson would just be perfect for you guys and yet Luis Mendoza and the worst set of game-logs I've ever seen are on your 25 man.

Dude only Jesus Christ himself can explain what the heck Dayton Moore is doing.

He tossed it up there like it was bp.

You're asking me to get inside the head of a man who has made some of the most inexplicable roster moves that I've seen. And he's also someone who has entirely shifted his draft philosophy within the span of 3 years.

Mendoza is simply yet another symptom of the disease.

And the beautiful thing is that we have a manager who can utilize his already paltry personnel to its zenith. And that's why Mendoza's first appearance was in a high-leverage situation.

It all happens here, baby.

A man with 1.2 innings with an ERA over 27 actually managed to make his ERA go UP!

Luis Mendoza is the embodiment how the failures of the Dayton Moore regime. He is the living, breathing personification of the Epic Fail that is DM.

If McGwire and Bonds represent the steroid era, Mendoza and Farnsworth represent the Moore regime.

To be fair, you need to factor in a completely failed trade to give the most accurate picture.

Mendoza, Farnsworth, and Jacobs should about do the trick.

Good opening sets of series. It's frustrating that La Russa teams rarely sweep, he puts too much focus on winning the series and there's a letdown in the third game.

Taking 4 out of 6 games on the road within the division is doing pretty damn good.

Yeah that wasn't good but he's my #1 candidate if Franlin falters. Although Boggs has looked good also.

It's kind of hard to fault LaRussa when his ace shits his pants on national television.

And I hope somebody duct-taped Freese to the underside of the team plane for the flight back to St. Louis.

I hope that was an anomaly and not a preview of how the year is going to play out for him. He's got shit heaps of talent, if his head's right.

Everybody's going to have a shitty night once in a while. But he's also getting old, and giving up four homers in two games certainly isn't good.

Hopefully he'll snap out of it.

Man, I'm going to have to go to opening day next year. Seems like a lot of fun.

New Hall of Famer Whitey Herzog will be honored, along with his 1985 Cardinals. The college of Cardinals will reconvene, wearing those snazzy red sports coats, and forming the most impressive and distinguished collection of living Hall of Famers of any franchise in baseball.

We'll greet the magnificent Hall of Fame seven of Musial, Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Schoendienst, Ozzie Smith, Bruce Sutter and Herzog.

Oh, I know. I'm happy with the way things turned out. Still, typical LaRussa teams can't finish off sweeps, which gets frustrating.
