St. Louis Cardinals

[NAHSTE]

Brutal loss by the Marlins today with Josh Johnson pitching. Cards had 8 hits, all singles, before Berkman hits the blast off Mike Dunn.

I love Lance Berkman.

Who broke up the no hit bid last night?

Great outing by McClellan today. 2 of 3 from Milwaukee is nice, I guess.

McClellan and fucking Lohse so far. Who woulda thought it..

[Woy]

McClellan and fucking Lohse. Who woulda thought.

And guess what? Chris Carpenter is still fucking winless, lol.

To add onto that, Albert Pujols is batting just .246. And yet we're still 1.5 games ahead of everyone in the division.

Photo causing quite the stir:

Yesterday his pregame hug with Cubs general manager Jim Hendry made headlines, so today Albert Pujols explained the embrace to Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Pujols told Strauss that he’s been friends with Hendry for a while now through former Cardinals GM and current Reds GM Walt Jocketty.

As an impending free agent determined to test the open market after failing to agree to a contract extension with the Cardinals during spring training Pujols also said he knew the hug would probably become news.

"I figured that would happen, that they would play with it. At the end, it’s not what you do on the field. It’s what kind of person you are off the field. That’s the kind of relationship you want to build with somebody you respect. He’s on the other side. I’m on our side. I just think it’s kind of ridiculous. Three writers came and talked to me about that and the contract. Are you serious? C’mon."

Strauss notes that Hendry also laughed off the whole situation when asked about it. Hendry apparently also hugged Ryan Theriot before the game, which didn’t rile up Cardinals fans quite as much for some reason.

Negational ploy for Albert?



Whatever whatever CARDS CUBS ON ESPN IN 30 MINUTES!!

[Kuzzy Powers]

Not just some hand shake hug.. full on hug son, and Albert looks in love. Its going down in the off-season!

[Woy]

Ugh, this team would be up like 8 games in the division with a decent bullpen.

[strahanfan92]
