Something about a weekday, day game at Wrigley makes me want to talk some baseball. Even if this is a bit late, the game just started (and it was a good start), so here we go...
Shumaker leads off with a double, Rasmus moved him over with a bunt, Pujols is intentionally walked and Ludwick just hit a sac fly to make it 1-0. Pujols is really aggressive on the throw (from

Pleasant Surprises
First, Albert never fails to surprise me. He just keeps getting better and his performance to date is one for the record books. Why would anyone continue to pitch to him? If Ludwick continues to heat up, watch out for this offense, especially with Rasmus and Schumacher getting on base.
Second, Franklin has

Actually, three of them, right in a row! After the Giants, the Cards hit the road to face the Reds, Brewers, and Cubbies. I guess we'll know a lot more about this team next week. This year's edition of Cards is making me nervou

I was interested in posting this because of the info on the team information banner on the homepage here. It states that the Cardinals used to be the Browns and then turned into the Perfectos and then to the Cardinals. This is what it states:
The St. Louis Cardinals, based in St. Louis, Mo., participate

I know he is almost perfect in the 1st half of the season. I know he is an all-star. And I know that beard is awesome. But I predict that Ryan Franklin will get hit hard in the all-star game and will not have as good a 2nd half as the 1st.
To sustain that level all year as a closer is very tough for a

The Jays are shopping quite a bit. The Cards might not have the talent to spare to get some of these players, but none the less, all are possible. La Russa is quite ambitious. If any trade is done, it's likely Wellemeyer and/or Ludwik would be included. The Cards have some wiggle room in their pocket book to afford possibly bringing Rolen back, or another player with an inflated salary

Fellas, needless to say the Cardinals find themselves in a funk. You can't really define their recent struggles as a slump becuase they have won a few games convincingly and lost a few too many too with a lot close games in between. A lot has been said about the short-comings of their outfield and their 4 and 5 starters and that

Granted, I don't watch a ton of TV anymore, but for what little snipits I've caught on shows like Baseball Tonight and MLB Tonight, when they talk about Albert Pujols, they haven't mentioned the Triple Crown. Pujols already has a healthy lead in the home run department (31, compared to

So I keep hearing that the Cubs are going to put it together come september? And I am thinking.. Are you serious?
While the Cubs continue to have bullpen problems, Joel Pinerio is throwing a 2 hitter against the Mets. Thank you Dave Duncan and

Whether we win, lose, or draw this game, that Red's pitching in the top of the 8th is about the worst I've ever seen. Walk the bases full for Albert, on 4 pitches no less. And why would you walk anybody with a 3 run lead? Horrible backward pitching. Go after Hoffpauir. What is the absolute worst he can do? hit a 3 run dinger and tie it up.

Baseball Tonight just reported that St. Louis traded Chris Perez and a player to be named later to Cleveland for Mark DeRosa. I know there have been arguments for and against getting DeRosa on this board, but I like having him. In addition to his pla

Without a doubt Albert has become a force to be reckoned with in the game of baseball. He has broken Stan Musials season GS record for the Cards, hes the third youngest player to put up numbers hes put up this season, I dont think this guy is human lol. He walks, talks, acts human, but I think theres something behind the HRs. Its not PEDs, I think this guy was built in an automat
