Cardinals don't have the talent to sustain hot start
There are few on it you would want for your team other than Albert Pujols.
Heck, there might be no one on it you could name other than Albert Pujols.

Additions and corrections are appreciated.

Will Duncan find a stroke today?
Pre-game is about to start.

Notes I saw at STLtoday.
Yadi fined, not suspended.
We sure have been leaving a lot of runners on base
Cubs fans don't want Jimmy. I'm feel bad that he is going there.

stlkat · 05-15-2008, 11:38 AM

Coop,

I feel bad too but only because it's the Cubs. I wish him all the best and no matter who he plays for, he deserves a standing ovation from Cardinal fans. I think he'll have a hard time with the fans up there because, mainly, they're total idiots. Given a chance, he could become one of the favorites, but Cub Fans don't think like the rest of us.

Coop · 05-15-2008, 11:48 AM

Yeah,
Jimmy was my favorite player for a couple years. He is a great guy.
Injuries and age brought him down.
No matter about the baseball, Jimmy is doing fine.
I just remembered about those concussions.
One crash in the ivy could be very serious for him.

Weather talk on pre-game.

I have to be out between 12:45 and 3:30 so I may not be back for the end of the game but I'll post as soon as I get in. How's that for optimism?

Coop · 05-15-2008, 12:34 PM

If the rain doesn't stop us, I feel pretty good with Pineiro going.

Tony made this statement on radio pre-game:
If Izzy is not good enough (closer) we're not good enough.

Todd Wellemeyer said he had always been a Cubs fan. He said he has seen the light now.

Duncan K'd on a ball rolling in that went through the catcher's legs
