Yes they do. Matt Adams is playing 1st right now, at least he is there in physical form. With the errors he pulled last night I'm not sure where his mind is.

Lets get this out of the way first.. Cards Lose, Cards Lose, Cards Lose, Cards Lose.
But last night felt like the good old days, albeit against the Astros. I stopped watching after Greene struck out in the 7th and I should not have cause they opened it up! Lynn was already 10 strikeouts into the game and got another in the 8th. Allen Craig is playing exceptional well (must mean he is on the way to the DL, Lol) Freese had a GS and another 2 run homer. But it was the pitching that was the best part. Thank God that the farm system is deep and has produced the jewels like Lynn.

Just heard that Garcia is going on the DL. May be time to get serious about a trade for some pitching.

Glad to see Jay back in the lineup. He plays a wicked centerfield. And, for some odd reason, the whole team seems to play better when he's in there.

688sonarmen · 06-23-2012, 08:02 AM

Very true, Jay was his normal self last night which was awesome! I watched the game and the Royals pitching really helped us. But having Jay and Matt Carpenter back really filled in those holes. The new guy Kelly was OK but he has consistency issues and I think once the batters figure him out there will be problems. A lot of the scoring hits were from bad fielding from the Royals outfield or very close balls that could have been fouls. Either way I hope the Cards get that feeling back and run with it!

My little 5 year old nephew live near KC but is a big Cards fan. He was going to the game today but was getting grief about wanting to wear his Cardinals stuff. Talked to him on the phone last night and told him he had my vote to wear his Holliday jersey. Hope he did and yelled real loud for each of Matt's 4 hits.

Lol, yeah. Sometimes you just say "Game? What game?"

But it is fitting that when the Reds lose, the Cards lose

688sonarmen · 08-08-2012, 07:25 PM

Heading to the game vs the Pirates on the 18th!

688sonarmen · 08-18-2012, 09:47 AM

Thought you had given up on them.

We were there for the rain delay game on Thursday. Hope they find the offense for you.

No, still watch all the games just hard to keep it interesting with just 2 fans here. The game was awesome, full of dramatics and Yaddi was a beast. St Louis is a great city and I'm sad to go back to reality.

You saw a good one. It will be interesting to see how Garcia does today.

688sonarmen · 08-28-2012, 07:51 PM

Things not looking good for Yaddi. I can't believe he held onto the ball. I hope for his sake he is not messed up by the collision.

He wasn't in good shape anyway and this certainly isn't going to help. I hear the MRI didn't show anything serious but we will just have to see. It will be a big loss behind the plate and at the plate if he misses a lot of games. Don't know much about Brian Anderson who they called up from AAA.

688sonarmen · 08-29-2012, 02:54 PM

Well we can safely say he is no Molina. Looks like he was a 4th round pick and played 15 games for the Cards with decent averages. Cruz on the other hand is swinging the bat well but does he have what it takes to be a leader? Just saw that Molina "hopes" to return Friday or Sunday, like you said he already had injuries (ankles, back, and who knows what else) I also heard that he has been hurt several times this year but it was kept hush hush. All I know is the past few days it hurt watching him bat and run the bases with his ankle. If he is not ready to come back he should IMHO rest, but I know he won't.

This quote by Yaddi about the collision (He says it was a clean play) is pretty Rad.

"You can slide around me or you can go after me. He decided to go after me. And he was out."

qwerty1500 · 08-30-2012, 05:31 AM

He's one tough guy. Sure missed him in the lineup against Pirates. Every year, one team seems to have our number. This year, it's the Pirates.

Agree, last night was painful to watch. Kelly is good out of the pen but not a starter just yet. The loss of Carp is really starting to be felt. Not sure if this is good news or not yet but Yaddi is saying he is playing today.
