We’ve had our share of bad play on the field this year, but the only thing that is embarrassing is coming from our dugout.
Edman is the backup to every position. Hopefully we’re up 10-0 tonight so he can pitch. The Not So Secret Weapon.
Wow, I am shocked…I thought we were done with Edman in the outfield, what with four legit outfielders on the roster and all…
Hopefully Tommy goes 3-4 tonight to reward Shildt’s faith in him. I’m not holding my breath.
I am absolutely rolling on the floor laughing this afternoon over all the teeth gnashing and whining about Edman playing in the OF. When he first arrived and hit a grand slam and everything else as well as did some outstanding fielding and displayed a rocket arm he was the forum hero. Then word got around that Lane Thomas was better (or so some said) so the politicking was on to get him up. Up he comes and is immediately crowned as the new wonder boy – hits his grand slam and a triple and even gets a couple of starts but Shildt plays a switch hitter in the OF and the natives go wild. Then word starts leaking out that Arozorena is being held captive at AAA and needs to be freed. The natives win once again and, lo and behold, the next hero arrives and manages a couple of starts and a couple of hits and maybe he doesn’t satisfy his fans because they almost immediately revert to Lane Thomas as being the ‘victim’ of bench rot again. Seems like our heroes only last a day or two until it becomes obvious they are, as Tony said, only humans not robots.
Keep me laughing fellers. I will stick with whatever Shildt comes up with as I have no control nor does anybody else here. But thanks for the humor. Whomever it was that quoted Edmans recent stats – thanks but they went right over a lot of heads of his detractors. Folks – they all wear the birds on the bat and even though I have to hold my nose everytime Carpenter steps to the plate, I hope the best for him because it will be best for the team.
Thanks Brian Harper. You are an honorary Cardinal for the rest of this season.
MM3, if it weren’t the for the FSM broadcasters their would be nothing for you to complain about in Cardinal Land. I admire your serenity.
The Cards get the scoring started after Edman lifts a single to left center, then after a Goldy strikeout, Ozuna smokes one to the wall. It’s 1-0 Cards.
The Cards are making Castillo work. Back to back singles with two outs in the 2nd. Fowler up now and he smokes one into the right field seats! 4-0 Cards!

Yeah, thanks for them. Otherwise I am mostly but not always happy because there is nothing I can do about the games except read the disgruntled posts of many on the forums. They add to my entertainment.

You forgot the Cards beat writers at MLB.com.
Anyway, we are all extremely gruntled here…
The post-Buddha-clarity-of-messaging dividend just kicked in.
Ha, maybe so! I do like being aggressive 3-0. Walks are fine sometimes but when you know you’re gonna get a good pitch to hit, you go for it.
Nice start so far for Waino. Just keep throwing zeroes, Waino. You’re in Busch!
Edman with the missed fly ball. Not sure if Fowler gets there though. The next pitch is a single and there’s trouble brewing.
Third inning has an awful start, 2 on and no outs. Should be two outs and none on. Ump blew the called 3rd strike on Barnhart and the Edman error turns into a single for Iglesias. Wainwright needs to bear down to keep a good lead.
