JIMMMMMMYYYYY...

Well, you all knew this was coming....my beloved Jim Edmonds! I have to admit I was devasted when he was let go. And then the Padres let him go. And THEN the CUBS picked him up! I understand the love of the game. I understand you want to play Jimmy - but the CUBS....breaks my heart! I might even have to re-name my kidney.........

My IT guy (Cub fan) predicts Jimmy will hit 20 home runs this year! This is also the same guy that says Albert should cross over to the dark side - I think the IT guy needs to back away from his computer and open his eyes or at least stop torturing me with this nonsense!

What the...

I was at the 4th grade recorder spring concert last night (my nephew was playing)....nothing can compare to their version of Hot Cross Buns! Anyway afterwards we went to DQ for a little frozen treat and the truth came out...my nephew admitted to be a Cubs fan. OHHH the heartbreak and devastation. And then my younger sister said - I think Im going to switch to the Yankees. WHAT THE...Are you even related? I can't believe those words came out of her mouth! The horror....

LONG LIVE THE CARDINAL FANS - UNITE!!

Stop the Izzy Bashing...

yeah, he's been rocky of late...but another stat that I think is alarming is the number of runners left of base?! They've got plenty of chances to bring some of those guys home, but fail to do so.
There's no 'I' in baseball. It's a team effort.


p.s. I have to admit, I didn't wear my hat faithfully yesterday. I really think that the loss should be my responsibility.

some observations on Yadi....

I'm watching the Colorado game on Tuesday and I'm noticing that Yadi seems to be alot more animated behind the plate lately. patting the plate, catching with one knee on the ground, hopping around while squattin. He's just really fun to watch, isn't he? one damn fine catcher!

now some notes on Looper - does the guy seem like he's smiling a big 'ole toothy grin when he's pitching? It just cracks me up. He can do whatever it takes...he's 2 for 2 right now in the 3rd inning!
last year, when Anissa and I were 'watching' a game together, we realized that Braden looks *alot* like our brother. It was kinda freakin us out. Our brother doesn't play baseball though. He plays the drums.

What a Throw!

Yadi's pick-off at 2nd - in the 5th inning has to be one of the FINEST examples of great ballplaying in Cards history! Did you see Wellemeyer duck and then fall to get out of the way?!

There's a great pic from the St.Louis Post Dispatch website...in the dugout after the play. Yadi - still in his catcher's gear is pointing to Izturis to give him some credit for catching that bullet.


Thank you Izzy, for 'starting your season over' tonight and shutting the Cubs down!

Skip...Skip...SKIP!!!

I think the picture says it all don't you...what a game! Izzy did NOT look that great tonight? I love it when the announcers try to analyze it - "What's wrong with him?"
I watched the game tonight with Chris..."Is Izzy's butt bigger?" Yeah - I think someone needs to be blogging!!

OMG

Can someone please explain to me what this is about??
