He could hit 15 HR in the series...he will always be a BUM in my book.

Cards WIN!

qwerty1500 · 10-15-2012, 12:11 AM

With all the focus on Beltran's mammoth post-season play, I just ran into this little tidbit:

"Interesting stat: With his home run on Sunday, David Freese has now driven in 25 runs through his first 25 postseason games. According to ESPN Stats and Info, the only player with more RBIs through his first 25 postseason games is Lou Gehrig with 32."

Win or lose the rest of the way, the Cards have done better than I ever thought they would. The fans always thought they had the offense, as inconsistant as it was at times. The surprise for me has been the bullpen. It seems to have gone from a weakness to a strength. That's been the missing piece all season. We'll see .......

Go CARDS!!!!!

Hopefully Carp can stick it out for 6 innings or more and give the pen a bit of rest heading into the rest of the series. Rzepchinsky as good as he was last year seems a bit shakey and I cringe when he steps in, good thing for Marte to even things out a bit. One arm I never get tired of seeing is Joe Kelly, he stays calm and has a Wainwright like slider that eats batters. As far as hitting goes home runs are great but it's the small ball the Cards have used that really impresses me (Even Holiday) taking pitches and fouling ones off to produce a base hit. They have a solid 6 man rotation that a pitcher has to get through and even then Descalso has been on lately and Kozma has made a name for himself. Speaking of Kozma he is either the Iceman or has something else going on, a bit dazed in the infield with errors and intercommunicated cutoffs like last night. Either way this series is great and the Giants have the same never say die attitude that almost won them the game last night

Well, the Cards pulled a "Holiday" last night. Really can't agree with his reasons to go after the 2nd baseman like that, a dirty play no mater how you look at it. Miller looked really good on the mound but to bad he had to pitch around 2 errors to finish his frame. I do have to say the Giants are a classy team and have great fans, not sure how the "play" at 2nd would have gone down at Busch.

One more ........

Gonna be a cold nite at Busch tonite.

Get 'er done. Y'all need some time off before hosting the Tigers.

Want both teams equally cold?

The drama drives me crazy. But the motivation doesn't seem to kick in for the Cards until they are one-strike away from elimination.

That is absolutely the reason!

qwerty1500 · 10-23-2012, 10:07 AM

Hated to see the season end with a blow-out like that. Nevertheless, the Cards exceeded my expectations.

Gotta root for Leyland in the WS. Always liked that guy.

I'm already looking forward to 2013. Want to see Miller in the rotation and a full season with Rosenthal's fast-ball. Also, expect to see Oscar Taveras with the club before the season is over. Great bunch of young players ... how could a Cards fan not be excited?

RIP Stan the Man

I don't have a lot of memories of his playing days. I do remember a record album of his that we got from somewhere ..."How to Hit." Well, he ought to know.

Everybody understands when you tell them to meet you at the Musial statue. No. 6 has been a fixture and an icon for as long as I've been a fan.

Stan the Man will be a Cardinal forever.

Saw this tweeted a few times today. The best stat of Stan Musial's life? 71 years married to his wife before she passed in 2012. R.I.P. Mr. Musial.

The greatest cardinal will be missed, Thanks for everything Stan

Cards and Miami preseason. Looks like Rosenthal and Wacha will be on the mound. Speed and grace wish I could see some of Wacha's pitches.
