Standings in the entire ML of B
Cards --
Royals 4.5
Pirates 5
Cubs 7
3 of 4 in same same division. It's a shame 2 of those 3 will be wild card.
Believe it or not, cubbies are for real.
And to think Dawg thinks Dabs counts funny..
One is simply stating who has the best record in baseball.....I get that.....its weird, but I get what LS is doing. The other bandwagon jumper, is counting post season wins to add to a win total.....something that hasn't been done in 130+ years of baseball. I'm just waiting for him to start counting the spring training games to get the Royals some sort of yearly win total record.
We have already broke 100 mark. 20 Spring wins and 83 regular season wins.....I say we are on target to win 120+ games this year!
And, the only team in the majors to not have a losing record the entire year....above .500 the whole way.
Great. Next he will be counting the winter games the Latinos are playing.
No matter how you smear lipstick on unshaven pig...........one star still rises to the top. LOSING RECORD AGAINST PLAYOFF BOUND TEAMS. That's all. Carry on.

I'd say tonight makes it official, Cards are reeling right now.
Man, I thought the Chicago win yesterday would pick them up.
If I'm Matheney, I sit Peralta and Wong for a few games and get Piscotty on first. Definitely time to shake things up and let some of these young guys who seem to know how to hit right now get their shot.
But all for not if the pitching doesn't get straight.

It's not time to panic yet, but get ready for a blowout in game 1 in the series against the Reds. I see them putting a 10 spot on the Birds, minimum.

Not time to get on the ledge yet. Maybe by the end of the weekend but not yet. 
Every team has their struggles in the season. The Cards have been very fortunate to this date, they haven't had a real slump yet. You hate to see it in September, during a Division race but nobody plans these. The baseball gods tell you when they come... Win the next two in Cincy and all will be right in the world...
While Lackey hasn't been great on the road, look for him to have a strong outing tonight. He knows someone has to step up and pitch 7+ strong innings. He has that killer instinct that will kick in and take control. They face some dude named Michael Lorenzen, with a 4-8 record and a 5.54 ERA. Card win tonight. Take it to the bank.
You think we're frustrated? How about the Pirates fans... After seeing the Cardinals take a loss, they lose their 7th in a row to Milwaukee, in 13 innings.

Lackey could throw a no hitter tonight and still lose the way the team has been hitting lately.
Seems like they never hit when he's pitching.
If you go back to the 1st game with the Pirates a week ago, excluding the 2 wins out of the seven games, the offense has produced 32 hits and 9 forking runs in those 5 losses. Add in the two wins (11 hits, 8 runs) and you have 43 hits and 17 runs in 7 games, 6.1 hits per game and 2.4 runs per game..
There ya go. Offense is suckin hind tit. Pitching wins, but only if your offense can outscore the other team.
(I just wanted to get in on the math & chit..)

Not sure about fortunate.

I'm not as good at math as say Dabs thinks he is.........but the Cards are 14 games ahead of San Fran in the wild card with 19 to play. I'd bet money to say the Cards make the playoffs, and considering their injuries to key players..........they shouldn't even be at .500

Cards 3-7 in last 10

There is only one Nostradamus and Griffin is his name and he is never wrong

I see you all are close to being converts....one of you aspires to count like Mr and the other is using reference to the AA league in comparison to your big boy team.
Happy Monday Cards fans!

Eh.......the boy just got a bit excited, that's all. It's hard not be excited when your team is the best in baseball.
I think you'll see the Birds rebound in the last game of this series with the Reds and win by 5-7 runs.....so give 6 and I think you'll be safe. (I know, it's a hard bet to make with the way they've been playing, but you just gotta trust me on this one) I think Adams gets back in the lineup and I see some late game fireworks from him.....but, bet how you want, it's your money.

Watching that win last night reminded me of having a tooth pulled.
Other than Martinez and Heyward. They knew it was a baseball game.

Here is what you need to know for the remainder on the regular season and the playoffs: If the pitching is on, they have a chance. If they have to rely on their hitting to win a slugfest, they will lose 8 or 9 out of 10 times. Unless something changes (like Holiday providing a spark), this is the 1968 Cardinals. They will live or die with the pitching staff. Of course 1968 turned out pretty good ... until the very end. 
Let's hope the bats can get a little spark in them...

Yep.
The guy who's been frittering away on the bench while we wait for Matheney to wake the hell up.
Now Pham has to sit around as we watch Matheney get Holiday, Grichuk and Jay ready for the playoffs, while he is the most "ready" to get us TO the playoffs.

There are 17 games left on the schedule and the Birds are 14 games ahead of San Fran in the standings. The Cards are pretty much TO the playoffs as it stands right now. Pham will help the Cards go in strong, but Grichuk got the Cards To this point now. Without him, they aren't in 1st place. When Gricuck can throw, he needs to be in the lineup daily. Same as Piscotty

I saved this post to a Word Document, printed it, and put it in our safe deposit box.
I don't think any of my kids are going to try smoking crack....but if they do, I want to have an example of what it can do to a person's brain.
Thanks!
