    Have you all given up on Pujols?

    Nope. But he does need to get healthy, so he needs to go on the DL. That's where mgmt needs to step in and make it happen.

     

    +10 MS or someone needs to step it up and make it happen. I don't think Pujols is going to sit himself he has too much pride (even if it does more damage to his own team)

    Lol

    The Cardinals didn't get that memo.

     

    We are very fortunate to have a pretty awesome farm system. We have Kelly, Miller, Adams, Kozma, Rosenthal and Robinson currently playing as well as tons of backup down in AAA. 

     

    We also have really good scouts and recruiting. We just recently (within the last couple of years) have invested more into Latin America and their players.

     

    The only problem is that the Cardinals don't have the payroll like the Angels or Yankees so some of our really good players we can't afford to keep around. Pujols for one and I did want Kyle Lohse to stick around one more season (due to the fact that we was hot last season), but when we lost Pujols we locked up some of other huge playmakers...Molina, Wainwright and offered extensions to Craig and Freese. 

     

    The big debates going on with the Cardinals fanbase right now is the centerfield and shortstop positions. Kozma has been exceeding all expectations there so we will have to see if the trend continues but right now a lot of people are calling for us to trade Jon Jay and call up Oscar Tavaras (spelled wrong I think). We have a revolving door at closer right now since Motte is going to without a doubt need TJ surgery. Boggs has not gotten into his groove so we've been using Mucjia (again spelled wrong) in that position so we will see what happens there.

     

    The NL central is going to be a tight race between 4 of us..the Cubs are bottom dwellers and always will be the floor mat for the NL Central. Our big threats are the Reds and the Brewers who just caught fire (9-1 last ten games). The dark horse is the Pirates who can surprise you (in 2nd right now) and we play them this weekend and it looks to be a good series.

    You know what here is a better theory. AP and JH after the 2011 world series decided to both leave their current teams (2011 for AP and 2012 for JH) and find a team they could rob. See a little known fact about JH he is a sucker for legendary outlaws and bandits. He told AP join the team that offers you the most and I'll join you a year later and we will take them for all they have. We might be better outlaws then Bonnie and Clyde (because they aren't breaking any laws unless you consider dropping fly balls, forgetting how to run bases or just swinging at anything and everything that is thrown at them.) So after consulting the magic 8 ball...erm God...AP decided to join the Angels. JH decided to tank the Rangers chances of going to the WS last year and using it as a reason to leave, jumps ship to the Angels who welcomed him with open arms. 

     

    It is rumored a text convo between the two went down like this...

     

    2012 (April)

    AP: Hey Clyde...I just made bank from these chumps. I'm going to forget how to hit the ball and blame my kids and wife.

    JH: LOL that's a good one.

     

    2012 Postseason

    AP: Playoffs overrated. I just wanted to work on my drive on the course. Hey Clyde I dare you to drop a flyball in the playoffs

    JH: LOL that would be classic Bonnie. I think I might just do that and blame the sun or lights or something.

     

    2012 offseason

    AP: Clyde my man! I put in a good word for with the Angels front office. All is going according to plan. I think they said something like 6 years. Get ready for a phone call from Art.

    JH: Wicked. I think when I join them I'll act like I've never played baseball before.

    AP: OMG Yes! I'll go into a slump again early April they will never suspect a thing. Plus they don't even know I'm really 35 LOL

    JH: HAHAHA Gotta love the Dominican Republic and their no birth certs.

     

    2013 (current)

    JH: All is going according to plan,,,

    AP: Money Money...Money...I think I'll keep this "injury" around for what do you say half the season?

    JH: If only Bonnie and Clyde were alive to see us now...we are the best robbers EVER and the best part...it is legal!

    AP: So wanna work on your golf swing this offseason?

    JH: Anything for you boo.

     

     

     

    There ya go! :)

    I still don't understand how AP isn't on the 15-DL right now. He is doing more harm then good right now and he should rest his foot while the season is still young. You don't want him to do something to make it worse next thing you know he is out for like a month or so.

     

    I don't know if AP is telling everyone to let him play because he feels "fine". He did that a lot too when he played for us. Or if MS is keeping him in hoping he catches fire. *shrug*

    OMG

    You guys need to trade a first baseman so that Adams starts for you...and for my fantasy team.

    I'm hoping he gets more at bats. His plate displine has improved vastly since last season. When he gets of piece of it it reminds me of when Big Mac got a hold of one (minus the steroid usage) The Cardinals board are full of rumors that we might be looking to deal Jay (CF) for another SS if Kozma (who has been quite good) doesn't pan out. Time will tell on that one.

    OMG

    Thanks the best to you guys too. I thought we were in trouble this year (losing Fucal, Chris Carp for the season and possibly Motte. Plus losing Lohse to the Brewers of the way of free agency) but right now we seem to be *knock on wood* holding steady right now.

     

    You guys owe me an Angels vs Cardinals world series....so do whatever needs to be done to make it happen!

    OMG

    You're good man. All of us just hate everything right now. Our organization sucks and our manager is a coward.

    Thanks, I know it's a rough patch, but you have so much talent right now and it's mindblogging right now how it's not clicking right now. I didn't expect you guys to be shutout by the AAAstros. If I was a betting man I would have put money on the Angels to wipe the floor tonight.

     

    I still think Pujols should be hitting cleanup for you guys until Josh figures out how to play baseball again imho.
