Yadier ejected – leaves gear in case Tony wants to catch

by Nick May 13, 2008

Yadier Molina was ejected from last night’s debacle in Milwaukee after arguing balls and strikes. LaRussa was also ejected, after coming to Yadi’s defense. Now, obviously this opinion will vary between those who live in St. Louis and/or are Cardinals fans and those who don’t like the Cards. But after seeing the video of the [...]

Kendall throws bat at pitch

by Nick May 12, 2008

In the fifth inning of Friday night’s loss to the Brewers, Tony Gwynn Jr. reached first on an error by Todd Wellemeyer, followed by a particularly useless throw to first by third base fill-in Brendan Ryan. Wellemeyer proceeded to throw over to first, then pitch out, throw a strike, throw over to first again, then [...]

Should the Cardinals trade for Derrick Turnbow?

by Nick May 9, 2008

I know, I know. This has been widely debated across many teams’ fan bases. Hear me out. I think ‘ole Derrick has just enough gumption to reject an assignment to AAA – thus negating his contract with the Brewers and making him a free agent at any price. (If the Cardinals were to claim him [...]

05.09.08 – Cardinals vs. Brewers

by Nick May 9, 2008

I got a late start on this one – joining MLB.tv in the top of the 2nd, Cardinals up 1-0 and Troy Glaus just got hit with a pitch… EDIT: Hey hey! Albert hit one out! Looks like he only needed a few innings off, not a whole game.

Padres to release Jim Edmonds

by Nick May 9, 2008

As a big, big Jimmy Edmonds fan, this news makes me sad. I’ll always remember the 2004 NLCS, Jim. Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com, reports: Jim Edmonds’ tenure with the Padres lasted 26 games. The Padres plan to release the center fielder, whom they acquired last Dec. 15 from the Cardinals. An announcement is expected Friday. [...]

Unleash Ryan Ludwick

by Nick May 9, 2008

It’s time for Ryan Ludwick to get his shot to start full-time. Luddy just completed a 9-13 trip through Denver, tallying 3 home runs and 6 RBI in the process.  That’s good for a .693 batting average and an OPS of 2.282.  And yet he only started 3 of the 4 games out there. For [...]

Richie Sexson is a maniac

by Nick May 9, 2008

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 [...]

Yesterday’s recap – 05.07.08

by Nick May 8, 2008

Lots of news to talk about from yesterday while I was incommunicado: Matt Morris is hanging it up according to Rick Hummel at the Post-Dispatch. It’s a shame Matty couldn’t carry on, but I appreciate his candor in saying that it just was too stressful on him having to deal with failure. Morris was the [...]

05.06.08 – Cardinals vs. Rockies

by Nick May 6, 2008

Sorry for no live game thread – had to go embarrass myself playing softball tonight. First things first – thank you Rick Ankiel. What is that, 7 times now he has had the “winning” RBI or “go-ahead” RBI? In this case it was well before anyone knew it would be a problem, but important home [...]
