St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!

qwerty1500 · 04-16-2011, 06:03 AM

The first week of the season they couldn't hit my grandma. Now, everybody is hot at the same time.

Saw this this morning - "They’ve had 14 or more hits in five consecutive games for the first time since Aug. 31-Sept. 7, 1930." Scored over 1,000 runs that season and won the pennant. That was a heck of a team ... Bottomley, Frisch and 10 others with a BA over .300. Btw, Dizzy Dean made his rookie debut in one game at the end of that season.

Not getting excited yet. It's a long season. But, it's nice to be back to .500.

Wow, thats a hell of a stat! I'm pretty excited too after all the frustrations just a week ago. The Cards have been a frustrating team to watch the last couple of years, winning against teams above .500 losing against the weak clubs. Not to mention leaving countless runners on base when their bullpen was pitching great and bringing out the big bats when the bullpen could not produce.

Great game last night for the Cards. We wore Kershaw down to just 5 innings with over 100 pitches. Played well, not sure why Berkman sat out but hope to see him today and get the sweep!

Berkman was 0 for 7 so far this season against lefthanders. Craig did a nice job filling his spot in the line-up ... plus he probably needed a little playing time.

Still amazed at that rookie reiever Sanchez ... he gave up a hit but struck out the side. Has now struck out 8 of the 10 batters he's faced.

These west-cost games are wearing me out ... losing too much beauty sleep. Glad today is a day game.

Tough game today, bats were not there. And I'm about 90% sure Franklin needs to be let out to the pasture.

Some good and bad yesterday against the Nats, Franklin is still not improving but the 2nd game was a relief!
