Trading Rasmus...Missed ya Chevster! [54 total replies]Cardinals @ Brewers, 9/7/2010[quote:b437d556e8="CycloneEggie"]Rolen27fan. I can one up you. I was in the car driving all day today and thought the game started at 7 pm. As putting the kids in bed I turned on FSN and started watching the replay of the game. Saw it was 1-1 and just then logged into Cardsclubhouse to find the game was over. I had no idea I was watching the replay.[/quote:b437d556e8]
I did that in May once. I spent like an hour watching it while waiting for my girlfriend to get out of class. She walked in while I ran to the other room and was like, "Ah, watching a replay of the Cardinals game, eh?" I was like, "Replay?" :lol: [30 total replies]Tony VS Raz[quote:5ec26aa544="Rolen27fan"][quote:5ec26aa544="cardinals82"]TLR>Rasmus
By the way, TLR isn't the only one who had probs with Rolen. Philly didn't like him either.[/quote:5ec26aa544]
Not really the same issues. Philly had issues with him because he was vocal about the fact that he felt management wasn't doing enough to help the team win and they weren't willing to give him the $$ figure he wanted for an extension. So he asked for a trade and got it.
It wasn't a manager v. player issue from what I recall about it.[/quote:5ec26aa544]
Here's a link that tells the story about the love affair between Bowa and Rolen.
[url=http://www.usatoday.com/sports/bbw/2002-04-17/cover.htm]What lies ahead for Rolen, Bowa and the Phillies?[/url]
Its my belief that if you have a meltdown with a manager once, it can be taken as just a simple conflict. But if you have meltdowns with two separate managers, you have the problem. And if you look and Larry Bowa and Tony LaRussa, in many ways they are cut from the same cloth.
They are both very intense and demanding. That tells me that Rolen really doesn't respect authority and has issue when people call him out, challenge him.
Rasmus' situation is nothing like the Rolen situation. I think this is much more similar to J.D. Drew, where you have a young guy that is loaded with talent but is lazy.

Westbrook 2 [1337 total replies]How the wild card was won!I agree there is still a good if n ot great chance we make it. As of right now the only team really showing heart to me in Philly and Cincy and Colorado kind of showing heart. The Pads and Braves both seem to be worn out and playing with no life. The Gaints and Cardinals to me seem to be in the same place. Both have had decent pitching but can't win. After todays win and scoring 8 hopefully that means life the next few weeks. We can still do this! Cmon boys! Step it up! [11 total replies]And it comes down to one gameMemphis wins! 7-6. Kinney gets Marquez Smith to ground out to Tyler Greene who forces Sam Fuld @ 2B on the flip to Descalso. [5 total replies]Reds @ Cardinals, 9/5/2010[quote:8314c38c29="MadHungo"]Nice come from behind win for the Cards, but I'm afraid had Holliday not hit that 3 run homer, the Cards would have lost.[/quote:8314c38c29]
Same thing with the 2 run dinger he hit the other day. (screwed without those two HRs)
This offense has been LOST for several weeks, and we'd be on a 10gm losing streak without Holliday's 2 HRs.
I hope we can sweep the Brewers and "stay alive", if you will. :D [17 total replies]Matt Holliday - Good "Deal" or Not ?[quote:568836f595="MadHungo"]Good signing overall, especially now since the Cards traded Ludwick away for Westbrook, because without Holliday & Pujols, this team has no threat for a "true" power hitter![/quote:568836f595]
I would say "true" power hitter is a guy who can hit 30+ reliably. Unless he puts up several in the next four weeks, he won't break 30 for the third consecutive year or since he left Colorado.
Holliday's a for-average hitter with some pop in his bat, wouldn't call him a power guy. I see Rasmus being a similar player to Holliday, but an average about 20 points less and a few more HRs.
Holliday has been pretty good, but it's still amazing when you look at the numbers and unless he gets super-hot these next four weeks, it's going to be one of the bottom seasons of his career and all of his numbers will be far below his career averages.
Though he has beat my prediction of .289, 20 HR, 95 RBI. [30 total replies]Plenty To Review After This Season[quote:a79ac03223="Vots54"]Resign Pujols. Lock the door and don't leave until a deal is agreed upon. If you need a couple years to get this team contending again (waiting for some bad deals to expire), so be it. Just make sure Pujols doesn't know that.[/quote:a79ac03223]
Keeping Albert would be grand but losing him wouldn't be the end of the world. Hrbowski (sp) has repeatedly said that the stars are treated differently than the rest of the players. I think Albert takes full of advantage of that. He is lazy on the basepath, showing an absolute disdain for hustling out ground balls when he isn't running through the stops put up by the first and thrid base coaches.
If Al is correct I understand why this team has imploded. If it's good enough for Albert it's good enough for every player on the team. Albert has a good public face. However, I think he may be a clubhouse toxin and LaRussa doesn't have the Billy Martin character to call him on it.
Keeping Albert or not will only effect the butts in the seats. It will not effect the performance of the team.

http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100904&content_id=14293536&vkey=news_milb&fext=.jsp [2 total replies]Reds @ Cardinals, 9/4/2010Yep. Throwing in the towel for the season officially. Without the ability to trim that lead with a sweep, the Cardinals aren't winning the division.
The Reds may still lose the division, but it won't be because the Cardinals are a good team.
Reds are 66-45 since May 1st. Cardinals are 55-54 in the same time period. Pretty clear who the better team is. [19 total replies]Pujols and La Russa among honorees at Beck rally[quote:57acd3921b="Bake_McBride"]After the Cardinals swept Cincy and until the Beck rally, they had outscored their opponents 65-52.[/quote:57acd3921b]
Yet still only went 5-8. Doesn't get the job done either. 5-8, 1-6 really no difference when your competition goes 14-5.
And to allude that it is the reason for it is like saying that Albert went out for dinner at X restaurant at the beginning of July and because of that he had his worst month of his career. [96 total replies]This pretty much sums it up.:lol: True [1 total replies]untill 2011..i'm now a casual cardinal fanI hope the Cardinals make it more so now to mock the Cardinal fans that quit before the year then for them to be in the playoffs :lol: I might have to much faith but this team has to solid of a core to end the year 10 games back.
