Help Wanted: Closer

by Nick July 25, 2008

I don’t know for sure, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see that sign hanging outside of Busch Stadium today. I’m going to be brief, for fear that I will let loose an expletive-filled tirade about the Cards’ failure to finish games in this series, but there’s no doubt those four games were painful. They [...]

Q&A with Erik from Future Redbirds

by Nick July 24, 2008

With the trade deadline fast approaching, and every post I write seemingly spouting off about “why can’t we trade this minor-leaguer for an All-Star?”, I thought it appropriate to get some information from a better source.  Erik from Future Redbirds was gracious enough to take the time to answer some (admittedly) off-the-cuff questions about the [...]

Mozeliak has to make a move

by Nick July 23, 2008

Now, before everyone attacks me about this being a rebuilding year and the Cards shouldn’t be giving up propects for rentals, don’t sell the farm, they’re in this position because Walt Jocketty mortgaged the future for now, etc., please listen. It doesn’t have to be a big move.  I’m not talking about shipping out Colby [...]

The next charter to Memphis

by Nick July 22, 2008

If nothing else, some of these Cardinal rookies are really piling up frequent flier mileage shuttling back and forth between Memphis and St Louis. A cursory glance of the Cards’ transactions this season shows the following trips: Kelvin Jimenez has been optioned and recalled three times.  His fourth trip to Memphis this year is just [...]

Duncan increasing his trade value?

by Nick July 21, 2008

Before I get too far in, I will preface this post by saying these things: I am not a huge Chris Duncan fan.  I think he is a minus on defense (in the outfield – he doesn’t get enough innings at 1B to make that a reason why he’s on the club).  I can’t stand [...]

Sunday Spitballs – 07.20.08

by Nick July 20, 2008

It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve chimed in with one of these – but I have plenty to say: FINALLY!  Finally the Cards got a sweep.  Not without their fair share of trouble getting there, but finally a sweep against a club that should’ve been swept.  The club just wouldn’t quit this weekend. [...]

An Open Letter to Jon Heyman

by Nick July 19, 2008

SI.com’s Jon Heyman, who wrote that the Pirates would seek high return to trade Jason Bay, continues to insist that the Cardinals are willing to trade Colby Rasmus. His persistence is somewhat amusing since Rasmus’ availability has been repeatedly refuted and flat out denied, including two published reports from Devan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette [...]

Lohse-and-behold

by Nick July 18, 2008

Can we get Kyle Lohse All-Star recognition retroactively? What else does he have to do? Lohse outdueled San Diego ace Jake Peavy last night by going seven innings on 107 pitches. He gave up two runs, one with a rocky start in the first inning and one on former Cardinal farm hand Edgar Gonzalez‘ home [...]

A round of Franklins for everyone

by Nick July 17, 2008

This is your consumption level while watching Cardinals games, innings 1-8: This is your consumption level while watching Ryan Franklin pitch the ninth inning: Any questions?

Write off the Joe Blanton rumors

by Nick July 17, 2008

I’m sure most of you have seen this already, but anyone holding out hope for Mo pulling a Joe Blanton out of his hat will be sorely disappointed. In a much-rumored, long-developing deal – Blanton was sent to the Philadelphia Phillies today for three minor leaguers. The players involved are 2B Adrian Cardenas, P Josh [...]
