Ain't nobody pinning hopes on dude. The fact of the matter is is that Craig is a factor when he's healthy as are several Cardinals.jamrage wrote:@ pinning your hopes on a guy that has never played more than 75 games in a season. They might sneak into the playoffs, but you have to face it: the Cardinals are finished as a serious World Series candidate.Big Breeze wrote:Allen Craig should be back from DL soon too.
When he was in the lineup earlier this year, he went HAM.

cardinals are the best-run franchise (maybe tied with tampa). every year they have either (or both) a pitcher or a hitter who wasn't projected to be shit or do shit have a cy young or silver slugger type season. add on the fact that cardinals' fans have a sparkling reputation and i gotta give props to cardinal nationBig Breeze wrote:Oh yeah, Lynn pitched a gem last night. He will be an all-star this year. Pleasebelievit.

They've played in an absolutely shitty division for a long time now and benefited greatly from it. I'll give them credit that they managed to sneak their way in and win it all last year, but that had as much to do with an epic collapse as anything else. They've done all this while having the best player in the NL for a very long time.Reason wrote:and i gotta give props to cardinal nation
That's all going to change now that Pujols is gone. They're an old team that is going to have to completely revamp their roster over the next few seasons. I don't see any World Series rings coming anytime soon.
They ARE a well run team, but I fucking hate them with a passion.

yea i feel bad for him. hamstring injuries in baseball are the fucking worst. remember back when jose reyes was a rookie and 'sophomore' on the mets? injured and re-injured the same hammy to the point that he changed his running stylePhilaflava wrote:sucks Kemp started off with one of the greatest months in all of baseball and now is going to miss at least a month of baseball. Wasted year.
he got back to health and his old self after an offseason or two but godamn hammys are so fragile in beisbol

"Based on Jeff Luhnow's track record for stockpiling young talent in St. Louis, Houston Astros fans have reason to expect he'll come riding to the organization's rescue on a white horse.
Judging from Luhnow's reputation among the hardcore ball crowd, the saddle bags will be filled with spread sheets, a trusty mobile device or two and every Bill James publication and Hardball Times annual the horse can carry.
Luhnow, 45, assembled an impressive portfolio as scouting director in St. Louis. It bodes well for a long-term turnaround in Houston, where the Astros are coming off a 106-loss season and have one of baseball's weakest farm systems."
(later in the article)
If Luhnow's tenure in St. Louis proved anything, it's the futility of linking him to a specific approach or methodology. He vividly recalls his first draft in 2005, when everyone expected him to load up on college players. The Cardinals selected Alabama high school outfielder Colby Rasmus in the first round, and added 16 more prep or junior college players among their 51 picks.
From 2006 through 2011, Luhnow used eight of his 11 first-round picks on college talent. But pitcher Shelby Miller, St. Louis' top prospect, was a high schooler. And Luhnow signed two other highly regarded prospects, pitcher Carlos Martinez and outfielder Oscar Taveras, as free agents out of the Dominican Republic.
Luhnow was particularly adept at mining talent after the first round. The Cardinals signed pitcher Jaime Garcia as a 22nd-round pick in 2005. Pitcher Mitchell Boggs was a fifth-round choice and outfielder Allen Craig was an eighth-round pick out of Cal in 2006. Luhnow's first three drafts in St. Louis produced 24 future big leaguers, the biggest haul in the majors.

Well, in fairness, the Brewers TV broadcast team is quite the tandem. For example, they just spent the last half inning discussing what was the farthest homerun that the color guy hit in the course of his career. And also, who was the best pitcher that he ever went deep off of.Dan wrote:I find myself watching more Dodger games this year and it's strictly because of him.peanut butter wrote:Not sure there's anything that pisses me off more than when I tune into a streaming broadcast of a Dodgers home game, and someone other than Vin Scully is calling the game.

And to think that if I had been getting the Scully feed, I would have missed out on such compelling and entertaining banter.

And just because you're dying to know...
According to himself, this fella was once credited with hitting a grand slam that traveled 441 feet.* One foot farther than the homer hit earlier in the same game by the opposing team's catcher, and still the longest home run Schroeder ever hit, said Schroeder.
*To this day, Schroeder contends that his homer flew at least 470 feet.
He also admitted, with the greatest reluctance, that he took hall of famer Don Sutton deep twice in one game.
