Yea, he should be a full strength right now and should have fixed everything in spring training!!!

Talk about a day for Mr. Pujols. Wow!

Yes WOW did he ever....

 

No telling how many he will hit in the new ballpark...

[jusdontno]

Three and they needed every one of them. 6th walkoff HR of career--not only does he hit em, he usually hits em when it counts. Quite frankly, the best overall hitter in baseball.

Make that 9-6.

 

I'm not that worried. Outside of the Cubs series, the Cards have followed the LaRussa blueprint to a T, winning 2 out of every three and a sweep. They are a couple of bullpen meltdowns and a amazing grab by Carlos Lee from being 12-3 right now......and they aren't playing well. Play .667 or better ball against the weaker teams and play around .500 against the tougher teams, and we'll be fine again.

 

Right now my biggest worries are Suppan and the bullpen. Supp's been roughed up three times now, and I honestly think Izzy is hurt. Now the question becomes, will ownership lay out cash to acquire a mid-season trade.

 

And think about this too. If the Cards go 9-6 every 15 games, they will be sitting there going into the third week of September with a 90-60 record. You mean to tell me that won't have them sitting pretty? They'll be just fine.
