it's always a good move to get rid of dead weight. quit showing how little you know about baseball by pimping preston wilson, especially as a leadoff hitter. i'm sure you'd much rather have him there than eckstein. i'm sure you'll jump off the card wagon as soon as they lose a playoff game tpark.
Actually, Eck is not a speed hitter; he doesn't steal bases. So Taguchi, a part-time player, leads us in stolen bases with 8. Preston has 3 in 12 games with us. Additionally, if you didn't know, Eck has been injured for some time - out since early Aug with a torn oblique. Additionally, Edmonds hasn't started but one game since before Eck was hurt. Edmonds had a conconssuion he never fully recovered from. Mulder has also been hurt all year. 3 All Stars on the DL, so yeah, I'm damn happy to see a signing like Wilson working out. If you think about it, the Cards have a history recently of late season signings that have worked out well.
eck is a good leadoff hitter because he gets on base a lot and he's a smart batter, i think that is a loss that will show itself more in the playoffs. i'm just saying wilson strikes out way too much to be a dependable leadoff hitter, and he's not all that fast at all - the stros have a couple players much faster than him, and the stros aren't the quickest team out there - burke, taveras, everett to name a few. we could let him go because luke scott came on so strong. he was very disappointing this year, only 9 HRs with that short porch in left.
Luke Scott - former Oklahoma State Cowboy.
yeah jackass cause you know me PERSONALLY.i'm sure you'll jump off the card wagon as soon as they lose a playoff game tpark.
Shut your ass up and dont assume things about people assface.
i don't have to know you personally, you're predictable enough as it is.
Wow, making it personal. Don't be all swole cause the strobes aren't going anywhere.
i'm not making it personal at all. i am still grateful the stros got where they did the last two years, and very happy oswalt resigned. dude is just off base 95% of the time. besides, the card are making the playoffs but not going much of anywhere besides that - though that is farther than the stros will be going unless they all of a sudden remember how to get a runner home.
The Cards have 7 remaining games with the terrible slumping Brew Crew. They also have 7 games left with the strobes, who would play them tuff even if they were 10-150, just because hat's all they have left to play for. As well, they have a series left with both SF and SD, both at home, and both those teams are playing well and fighting to stay alive.
I don't know how you can trash the Cards so much. They got very injured around end of July. During that stretch, they lost 8 in a row and 13 of 17. 5 of those 8 games were by 2 or less and another was by 3. At the end of that run, Izzy blew 3 saves in 5 games. They fought out of the slump, taking 2 of 3 from the Reds when they were tied, taking 2 of 3 from red-hot Marlins (ending their 9-game streak). The pitching is warming up again, Izzy is back on track, Carpenter threw a complete game, Suppan had a shutout. Really in the past 2 weeks, our only bad pitching outing is my Mulder, who went back on the DL right after and won't pitch again. Weaver lost a 1-0 game. Marquis pitched 7 shutout before giving up a Kearns 2-run homer yesterday during Ortiz' bid for a no-hitter. They are 7-3 last 10, which is as good or better than any team in the NL with the exception of the 8-2 Marlins, which they gave the 2 losses to.
Cards are just warming up... which is exactly where you want to be right now.
i'm not really trashing the card, i just don't think they can win the NL. i wish the card and the stros would play in the playoffs again, the last 2 years have been incredible series to watch. better than any series in the last couple years save the sox coming back to bury the yanks.
If not for Isringhausen's ongoing Lidge-esque suckitude, Cards fans would have another reason to post something today.
??
What was that about lidge esque suckitude?
He's refering to Izzy's blown saves this year. At least Izzy doesn't go mental when he faces one man. FYI Izzy is going on the DL, possibly for the rest of the year. He had surgery on his hip 2 years ago and it is flaring up, which supposedly has been his prob all year.
You know, that the best relievers in history have the records for most blown saves in a season (15: Rollie Fingers, A's, 1976. 14: Ron Davis, Twins, 1984; Bob Stanley, Red Sox, 1983; Bruce Sutter, Cubs, 1978. 13: Goose Gossage, Yankees, 1983; John Hiller, Tigers, 1976; Dan Plesac, Brewers, 1987; Jeff Reardon, Expos, 1986; Dave Righetti, Yankees, 1987. 12: Mark Leiter, Phillies, 1998; Mike Marshall, Expos, 1973; Mike Marshall, Dodgers, 1974; Dan Quisenberry, Royals, 1985; Enrique Romo, Mariners, 1978; Lee Smith, Cubs, 1987; Bruce Sutter, Braves, 1985; Duane Ward, Blue Jays, 1989; Matt Young, Mariners, 1986.)
Bump.
Preston comes up tonight, gets a basehit to get the scoring going to tie the game.
Once again.
Thank you Houston Astros for giving the Cardinals Preston Wilson.
Need a refill on that Pina Colada there boys?
The Cards could be drinking Pina Coladas with Astros very soon. They have to get past the Mets.Bump.

Even if they don't theyve exceeded all expectations.
Especially 19-20 ESPN experts who picked the Padres.
Just thought of this thread today and had to search for it. I guess they added a bit more to their resume. World Series ring, 2 NL Pennants, over 300 wins in 3 years, 6 Division Crowns in 7 years. I'd say that's pretty dominant.
get over the ing cardinals. MLB season is over u face
Hahaha go A's. Sell your Zito jersey yet?
Boy, the Cards owned some hatas in this thread
Preston Wilson came up huge against the Mets too.
Game tying hit and winning run in game 5.
Bring him on back Walt.
