I guess Boggs doesn't kiss LaDoucha's ass sufficiently.

Boggs has allowed 6 runs in his last 7 innings and been scored on 4 of his last 6 appearences after a nice stretch of games. It's not like he was lighting things up. The pen is just a complete joke at this point.

He's batting Rasmus against lefties because he has precisely nobody else on the team that can play CF that isn't even worse against lefties than he is (i.e. Jon Jay). Don't you remember the attempts at making Tyler Greene play CF this spring? Had Greene shown any ability to track fly balls, Rasmus would be in a platoon right now. If Boggs were a 35 yr old with a couple nice seasons on his resume, he'd be a 'core' reliever for this squad. Because he's a young guy, he's always 1 bad week from getting buried and demoted on a LaRussa team.

How many relievers thrive getting one inning every 3/4 days or so? LaRussa has dicked this pen up so badly that none of them can get in a rhythm at all. When he was pitching every 2 or 3 days, he was nails. Then LaRussa uses 1 batting outing as an excuse to bury the kid and suddenly he's not quite as sharp when he's getting 2 apperances/wk. Shocker, eh? Oh yeah, and he also still throws in the mid 90s and in his 'horrid' last 10 games has 6 strikeouts to only 1 walk. He's unquestionably a better option than Ryan Franklin or Batista, but he doesn't have enough grey in his temple yet. He has the stuff, the command and the poise to retire major league hitters yet he's getting dumped in favor of dusty old shits like Batista and Franklin. Guys who's sole qualification is the fact that they're at/near 40 years old. It's horseshit.

Your team ERA should drop a lot over this next series, FWIW.

Eck, Rick Honeycutt, and Orosco could call Tony tonight asking to return to the big leagues and they'd all be on the roster tomorrow

5 games out of 162 doesn't destroy a season.

You can blame Franklin if the Cardinals finish 20 games out of first if it makes you feel better. Still wouldn't get them into the playoffs though, so why bother?

Anyone know how much Pujols is making now... what his contract was/is through this year? Just curious.
