Haven't actually been to Busch since '09. The last two times I went Pujols hit a grand slam. I've got photos on my desktop of the actual swing. We had seats right behind home plate. The last time I went we sat in the left field loge and Freese hit his first career HR against the Astros.

Mujica threw three straight days, Rosenthal pitched Saturday and Sunday. Maness threw 25 pitches yesterday. You can't throw those guys every day unless you are Joe Torre or Dusty Baker and you want to ruin them. It'd be nice if Sanchez was reasonably healthy and Rzepczynski and Boggs were worth a ****, but they aren't. The Cardinals needed 7-8 from Shelby tonight and a good offensive performance and they got neither. Hope for a laugher tomorrow to get the pen arms a little more rest.

Where is Martinez? why bring him up if you don't use him?
I'm thinking that maybe he is the trade bait in a future trade. If they are not going to bring up Wacha because they don't want to start the clock why bring up Martinez and not use him?

The Cardinals left Sanchez off the 40 man roster when they promoted Lyons. Cubs got him.
Wonder what Sanchez did to get on their shit list?

Love his stuff, but if he could throw strikes, he would've been on the team this year AND last.

What do you all think of Jocketty? He's made Cinci a damn good team too. I would've killed to get him to KC but we don't deserve him anyway. He's a threat in that division seemingly every year.

Mozeliak has to think about the team this year and in the future. Although it's tempting to throw caution to the wind and bring up Wacha right now, that doesn't mean it's the best move in the long-term interests of the franchise. With the way Matt Carpenter has handled 2B, which has been absolutely tremendous, they might be better off flipping Wong for bullpen help similar to the way they moved Cox last year. Carpenter leads the batters in WAR right now.

A reliever who lobs it over the middle of the plate is worth more than an asshole who throws 96 but can't hit his own ass. See: Marmol, Carlos.

His drafts were generally ok. Hit the lottery with Pujols. Molina was obviously a tremendous pick. Rick Ankiel looked like a phenomenal selection until he went Section 8, but towards the end our farm system really suffered until Jeff Luhnow gained more influence in the development of the system and selection of picks. If Jocketty didn't handle the draft I'd consider him the best in baseball.

The importance of the draft will only continue to increase in the coming years. He may start to slide because of that but I liked Jocketty and still do.
