Cardinals report: Inside pitch

Braden Looper gave up just six hits over seven innings Friday, but two of them were solo homers, by Chicago right fielder Kosuke Fukudome and catcher Geovany Soto, as he suffered his sixth loss against nine wins. Looper threw 22 first-pitch strikes out of 28 hitters as he tossed a career-high 120 pitches.

First baseman Albert Pujols' 300th career homer, off the left-field foul pole, brought the Cardinals to one run down in the eighth. But third baseman Troy Glaus, who thought he had walked in the ninth on a 3-1 pitch that seemed outside, according to replays, then was called out on strikes.

Catcher Yadier Molina, who hit safely in his 11th straight game, later singled, but manager Tony La Russa openly was not happy after the game with umpire Ted Barrett's verdict on the Glaus at-bat.

Instead of being only 1 1/2 games behind division-leading Chicago in the National League Central, the Cardinals are 3 1/2 behind the Cubs and only one game in front of third-place Milwaukee.

While Pujols became the fifth fastest to 300 homers in his career, right-hander Jason Isringhausen appeared in his 600th game. Isringhausen recorded one strikeout in a scoreless ninth, fanning former Cardinal Jim Edmonds, who went down on strikes three times.

The Cardinals had five at-bats with men in scoring position, failing on all five.

CUBS 2, CARDINALS 1: The Cardinals continued to have their troubles winning at home. They have dropped six of their last eight games at Busch Stadium Friday and haven't led for any inning in the last two losses, which have come in succession.

The deadline for offering arbitration to their free agents is late tonight, and the Cardinals must decide whether draft pick compensation offsets the financial risk of Mark DeRosa or Joel Piñeiro accepting that offer.

The normal Round Two question for the pundits this week was: who is in left field if Holliday leaves?

I found this question intriguing because it has such an impact on the Cards next year.  I just feel that Holliday might just be pushing himself out of budget range of the Cardinals, which will lead to other options.

Some news this morning out of St.Louis, if the price tag for Matt Holliday proves to be to much, the team will pursue pitching over another big hitter...here's some of what Mo has to say...Free agency is not the only option available as Mozeliak concedes the club may also pursue trade options. The Cardinals heavily scouted the Washington ...(more)

Mark McGwire Should not be allowed to have any position with any team in MLB or a minor league affiliation until he testifies about his steroid use! Shame on the Cardinals for even considering this cheat to be a hitting instructor and be allowed to tarnish any further their proud history of being one of MLB's best run organiz ...(more)

LaRue agrees to a 1 year deal to come back as molina's backup. Good move to bring back not only a good guy but a solid backup behind the plate.

Well this thread is being created on Tuesday, so we're still 2 days away from the winner actually being decided for the National League. Over in the American League, Zack Greinke was just selected the winner with a 16-8 record and a 2.16 ERA for the Royals.

Eighty-nine years ago today, Stanislaw Francizek Musial was born in Donora, a small mining town in western Pennsylvania. His father Lukasz, a Polish immigrant, almost immediately began to call the boy "Stashu." Later, after the young Musial had grown up to become one of the greatest baseball hitters who ever lived, he'd be known by another nickname in every ballpark in America: "The Man." When he ...(more)

If they are going anywhere.  Any thoughts on availability inside or outside the organization of a good lefty?
