Let's go CARDS!! BTW former Cardinal Rick Ankiel led the Astros to their first win ever as an AL team.
Here's a look at the top minor leaguer for the Cards... Oscar Taveras Rank: 1 ETA: 2013 Position: OF Age: 20, DOB: 06/19/1992 Bats: L, Throws: L Height: 6' 2", Weight: 200 Signed: Nov. 16, 2008 - STLScouting Grades (present/future): Hit: 5/7 | Power: 5/6 | Run: 5/5 | Arm: 5/5 | Field: 5/6 | Overall: 5/7 The St. Louis Cardinals have developed some All-Star-caliber position players in recent years, starting of course with Albert Pujols and including Yadier Molina. Taveras has every chance to be next in line, the kind of talent that doesn't come around all too often. Always young for his level, he has hit everywhere he's gone, and in 2012, the power most felt he had started to show up consistently in games. Taveras has a ton of bat speed and rarely strikes out. His improvement in terms of plate discipline has made him an even more dangerous hitter, one who looks like a sure-fire middle-of-the-order run producer. With that offensive profile and his strong arm, Taveras looks like a future right fielder, but he played a lot of center field in 2012 and could see time there as well, at least in the short run. Regardless of where he plays, the Cardinals will have a hard time keeping his bat out of the lineup for too long.
Dammit....Freese, Furcal, Motte, and Carpenter...all start the season on the DL....#1 starter and main closer....it's only April A.J....... 6' 7" 235lb Adam Wainwright and the Big Hook show starts the season though....the Glass is 1/2 full!!
Hey AJ the Cardinal fan I play golf with filled me on this guy, has a lot of upside could make us forget about Big Al! Go Cards!
Let me guess, Houston Larry?......where's he been at anyway? Does he live with Jiffer now?.... :lol: JIFFY!!!!! Red Sox 8......Yankees 2 as of this post!!! WE GOT BASEBALL BABY!!!
Jeff Samardzja pitched a great game for the Cubs today..8 innings 2 hit shutout with 9 strikeouts....must resist the draw to be a cubbie fan...Heilemans Old Style is not a good beer...
Doc, Uhh....listen...I know the Kid is a Domer....but we've got rules as Cards fans....well, let me put it like this....if my son Chase goes to the pro's, and the Cubs sign him, we wouldn't even talk on the phone until the trade. So lesson learned, but we don't celebrate anything Cubs wise here. :lol: :wink:
Just a momentary slip, I'll go home and have a Budweiser tonight just to rid myself of anything not Busch related!
Terry, are you sure you want to live under such a dictatorial set of rules? Come over to the Cubs. We don't mind if you cheer for other teams. Heck, I also cheer for the Reds and Cards (Don't tell AJ).
What's really amazing about this photo is I've looked at it a 100 times, and I can't spot a soul that doesn't have a hat on.
Long season...baseball is a marthon not a sprint! BTW I've been looking at that picture as well and I want to know what a Turkish Trophy is, I've never heard of it.
