Lohse is another reason that Dave Duncan is probably the best in the business.....

7/18/2008 3:56:16 AM

no love for that walk off grand slam?

7/21/2008 6:05:37 PM

got to see the redbirds twice over the weekend - friday and saturday vs the padres.

they look good. and as a cubs fan, that's scary. no help that the brewers are winning too....

as an aside, I was surprised how many cubs fans were at both games....

7/21/2008 7:18:36 PM

Bump for Kyle Lohse's 13th win....who woulda thunk it?

Ludwick/Lohse are the main reasons this team is anyone near the hunt only 4 games back and tied for the WC.

Interesting too they now have the exact same home and road record 31-25.

8/2/2008 1:17:49 AM

man, if they could have gotten pujols up to bat last night, he would have just looked at lidge and been like "e'game over"

8/4/2008 5:14:55 PM

carpenter looked pretty good in his first game back last week

8/4/2008 5:22:35 PM

^^Bases loaded w/1 out in the bottom of the 8th and 9th and we dont score a run. We shouldn't have needed Pujols. Fucking double switch got us. Who the hell were those hacks that batted in front of him?

Lidge throws junk. Make him get you out. I'm not sure if he threw either of them a strike.

Yeah I was really pissed when he took Skip out to put Stavinoha in....I mean come on. Your 2nd best contact hitter for a rookie who just got called up? La Russa shows me once again that he thinks too damn much.

8/4/2008 11:51:37 PM

Whats terrible about the double switch fucking us last night is that my uncle was in town from St. Louis playing golf with me and we were both bitching about LaRussa double switching, running rolen out of town, and being an overall douche of a human being, then his double switch probably costs them the game. What a fag.

8/4/2008 11:55:29 PM

Well at the time I wanted to keep Rolen and send La Russa packing and let Oquendo take over. We have gotten lucky though with Glaus who has been healthy and a pretty good player. He has really surprised me how good he has been on defense.

8/4/2008 11:57:54 PM

He's been solid, Rolen is GREAT on 3rd when he's healthy though. He's having a good season too (or he was the last time I checked)

8/5/2008 10:42:55 AM

Someone remind me once again why we didn't trade for Fuentes or whoever was available?

My God Izzy Franklin Izzy....it's about time to move McClellan to closer.

This team would be the best in baseball with a decent bullpen.

8/6/2008 12:25:01 AM

You wouldn't be the best, but it would certainly make a difference.

8/6/2008 12:30:16 AM

27 blown saves....most by far in baseball.

If just HALF of those were wins, they would be ahead of your beloved Cubs.

And I know you are just trolling like usual in here but still.

8/6/2008 12:35:30 AM

Homer Ludwick!

Not trolling, haha. I'm actually listening to your game right now on mlb.com. If you want to count your record without blown saves, what would the records be of teams like the Cubs without their blown saves? Not being a smart ass, I just can't find blown save stats for each team.

If half of the Cardinals blown saves were wins, and half of the Cubs blown saves were wins, the Cubs would still be ahead in the division... but it would be a closer race.

[Edited on August 6, 2008 at 3:47 AM. Reason : .]

8/6/2008 3:43:07 AM

They are 6 games back....or 5.5 if the Cards win tonight.

27/2 = 13.5 for STL

17/2 = 8.5 for CHC

So by my reasoning it would be nearly tied.

8/6/2008 7:48:02 PM

^I know... That's why I said it would be a close race, and the Cubs would still be winning the division.

8/6/2008 11:34:30 PM

fuck you, jim edmonds

8/10/2008 9:04:02 PM

too many LOB tonight

8/10/2008 10:28:54 PM

8/12/2008 7:59:45 PM

The Brewers/Cubs aren't losing....so the Cards need to get on their game.

And Wainwright needs to get to form to be the closer quick.

I like Perez/Izzy/Franklin as setup men.

8/13/2008 10:07:37 AM

this headline on the st. louis homepage on mlb.com made me lolz

"Cards can't rally after delay, fall to Fish"

8/13/2008 12:46:11 PM

Perez with back-back blown saves now.

Looper with 7 shutout innings blown away.

10th inning still tied at 1. Cubs lost and Brewers are also in extras.....they are trying to let the Cards back in.

9/5/2008 10:57:49 PM

9/5/2008 11:07:41 PM

How lovely Franklin blows it and the Brewers win in extras...

There's another game.

Might as well pack it in now. Even if we catch the Brewers who suck now still don't think the Phils will slow.

9/6/2008 1:28:54 AM

I'll laugh if doughboy wins MVP again over Pujols... of course Al thinks only playoff teams should have MVPs though...

[Edited on September 18, 2008 at 4:49 PM. Reason : x]

9/18/2008 4:48:46 PM

Fuck Ryan Howard.

If they give him MVP this year with 200 Ks then something is really wrong with baseball.

Most valuable? Maybe. But you cannot argue that Pujols has been the best player in baseball this year.

9/18/2008 4:51:20 PM

bttt

Pujols wins Roberto Clemente Award.

10/26/2008 9:39:49 PM

He's won almost every award he can so far.

Hank Aaron next.....

Plus we declined Mulder's option. He may not ever be a major leaguer again.

10/27/2008 2:30:58 AM

bttt for Al's MVP

11/17/2008 5:30:57 PM

Only his 2nd...should be at least 3rd. If Bonds was cheating, who knows how many he would have.

Also Ludwick got cheated. 17th place? He had a great year and I can't believe we might trade him.

11/17/2008 5:33:58 PM

Lets trade away everyone worth a shit...


unless they can get like 5 #1 relievers for him, thats retarded.

11/17/2008 5:55:32 PM

Why are we not even trying to get a Peavy, Fuentes, Holliday, we aren't even players anymore.

I know we have money, why aren't we using it. 2nd highest attendance in NL this past year.

11/17/2008 5:56:53 PM

I don't think we need starting pitching.... we really need to address the fact that a 5 run lead after 7 innings can't be considered safe.

11/17/2008 6:42:24 PM

Looks like they're a lock for the NFC West

lol...my thoughts exactly

11/17/2008 7:09:39 PM

they'd better make a big move this off season

11/29/2008 1:28:49 AM

can we plz have a marquee signing?

12/23/2008 3:36:07 PM

what's the status on the closer from Colorado?

12/23/2008 3:40:48 PM

Fuentes is still up in the air....I think he wants to go to the Angels.

12/23/2008 4:11:59 PM

i love the Greene pickup

not marquee, but great none the less

12/23/2008 4:22:22 PM

^i loved the fark headline for that move, lemme see if i can find it:
"St. Louis Cardinals acquire slick-fielding shortstop from San Diego Padres. No, this is not a repeat from 1982"
classic
lets hope he's he has even half the impact the Wizard had

--------------------


holy shit, about to start our 6th season of teh w00t

its been a decent run

off the top of my head, my top three moments in w00t thread history

1. pujols knocks the shit out of brad lidge, to the point that it takes him 3 years to recover


2. the world series win


3. message_topic.aspx?topic=195349&page=13

1/5/2009 11:19:33 AM

What are your thoughts on the Aaron Miles mini saga?

1/5/2009 11:21:10 AM

He isn't worth that much money....sure he hit .300 and plays everywhere and even pitched! but he had a career year and is not a starter.

I guess we are going in with Kennedy at 2nd....did we lose Felipe? I liked the idea of giving him the shot.

Another offseason where we don't spend money that Cards fans know we have.

Pujols wants Manny

I want Griff

could you imagine that lineup?

Having to pitch to Griff Manny Pujols?

man...

it'll never happen
but jeez

2/4/2009 3:28:54 AM

Personally I wouldn't want to touch Manny anymore. I think he is going to be so fed up by the time someone picks him up that hes going to put out a downer of a year.
