Tonight’s game was hard to stomach. The Cards produced some early runs with more clutch hitting, a nice 2-out stroke in the first inning by Ryan Ludwick hopefully to get him back on track (he finished two for three, with two RBI). Luddy again struck with a sac fly in the 3rd. Adam Wainwright was [...]

Derrick Goold had a great write-up on Ryan Ludwick’s season-to-date (as well as stats going back to September 2007) over at his Bird Land blog today.

This isn’t Cardinals related in the least, but I just had to post it. Richie Sexson gets a pitch high, nowhere near him or his apparently empty head, and goes absolutely crazy and charges the mound. Enjoy. UPDATE: Sexson has been suspended 6 games and fined by MLB. I’d have kicked him out of the [...]
