"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

I'm actually kind of partial to the Cardinals. I don't root for them of course. But they are one of the oldest MLB franchises with a lot of history. The guy who really got them going was Branch Rickey, who i think was the first to develop minor league relationships that fed the MLB team. Ever since then, including the 21st century, their overall management has been solid. The St Louis Cardinal fans are not so much fanatics as incredibly loyal because their population is 316K, down from 856K in 1950, but their attendance is regularly near the top in MLB. Right now they are 2d of 30 teams. If you drive across the country or at least as far west as Missouri and Oklahoma, you will hear their games on the radio.
ERod vs. Lynn tonight--tough match-up given our struggles at the plate.

Hold on there Spudster! Don't confuse long time, game attending fans with the shit for brains jag-offs that frequent Redbirds.com and worse of all, Cards Talk. That place is so awful that the Mod stopped modding! The guy just fucking gave up!
You guys are catching us at a bad time. After a horrible 3-9 start, in the last 3 weeks the starters and pen have been surprisingly effective (even grandpa Wainwright) The Achilles heel is shitty D and the worst base running you ever saw short of little league. I figure this little series will be a split. I will definitely take a split!
