I understand he's Albert Pujols and all, but he grabbed his back while running to first the other night and he was limping late in the game last night. Time for a few days off. We don't need a .182 in the last week, .196 in the last two weeks, .262 in the last month Albert Pujols in the middle of our lineup. Not when Craig was hitting well when up here. We've got guys who will exceed that performance and can play for a few days while Albert rests. Better to rest him now and get him closer to 100% than to have him breaking down in the playoffs.

Hardly any fundamentals, there are players that give effort when they see fit and bad habits have been formed because of it imo. Who in the crap will take this team by the horns and wake them up?

First I have heard about Jenkins in awhile. This is good news: [quote:04c1f0b6f7]danandjonelle: I have been told that high school pitcher Tyrell Jenkins, one of our supplemental draft choices, was in St. Louis yesterday for a physical and I assume his signing is imminent. Since he is also a Baylor football/baseball recruit, do you think he will get more than slot money, which is $705,600.? Joe Strauss: Jenkins would likely command more than slot. The Cardinals are believed close to signing two of their three high pitching picks, Seth Blair and Jenkins.

While you're on the right track, having the machine's at Lowe's/HD, etc. match a photo probably won't end up with the look you want. There are just too many variables with the camera coloring multiplied by the ink printing of a photo.

Trade Carp for a younger stud while Carp's stats/numbers are still appealing, because if you wait for a year or two and Carp's stats/numbers do start declining, then it's obvious your not going to get much in return for him, imho. In my 50 yrs. of watching Cardinals baseball I've seen alot of good/great players come-n-go, which is why I try not to get to attached to certain players, because I know sooner or later they'll be gone.
