--1B Albert Pujols walked twice and singled Sunday, extending his streak of reaching base to 39 consecutive games and his hitting streak to 11 games.

--OF Ryan Ludwick, after fanning in his first three at-bats, cracked his fourth homer in five games in the eighth inning.

--3B Troy Glaus singled in the fourth Sunday to stem a 1-for-28 slide.

--RHP Jason Isringhausen, the defrocked closer, didn't appear for the second game in a row. He slightly injured his right hand in a snit after blowing a save on Friday night and RHP Chris Perez was put on alert to join the team from Memphis. But Isringhausen was not disabled.

--C Jason LaRue got only his third hit in 33 at-bats when he singled in the seventh.

BY THE NUMBERS
292 -- Number of career saves by RHP Jason Isringhausen before he temporarily, at least, was supplanted as the Cardinals' closer.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"I'm pitching like a second grader." -- RHP Jason Isringhausen after blowing his fifth save in 16 opportunities.

Why does it seem that every year we get stuck with a pitcher who's supposed to be the answer to our woes, and he COMPLETELY blows it for the season? Examples last year are Anthony Reyes and Kip Wells especially. I mean, Kip Wells was just HORRIBLE for us as a ...(more)

Jimmy Ballgame has officially passed his physical and has become a rival Chicago Cub. I don't know about you but I think this deal sucks. When we play the Cubbies on July 4th, I can not and will not give him any kind of ovation. If he were to be wearing any different uniform then yes I would give him an ovation. But not in Cubbie blue. This deal, like Bernie Miklasz said in today's arti ...(more)

Finally Izzy is going to be placed on the DL or sent to the minors. He has single handedly put this team into a funk. I hope the Cardinals bring up Perez.

T. Johnson will be having surgery so his season is most likely over.

Mulder- I heard on the news tonight that he threw in the bullpen session today. I really hope that he will be able to come back soon, but in my opinion they should use him in the bullpen for 2 reasons. 1.) It was not till he started stretching his outings out that he began to have the problem. So maybe he can last ...(more)

What do you think?  The Cardinals got off to a fast start at 10 games over .500 (21-11), but have since got 3-8...have we been spoiled?  I think we need our starting pitchers back so that we can get Wellemeyer and Looper into the bullpen to stable it up.  Will it be a season like last year where we go 1 win and the 2 losses? ...(more)

Why?  Why?  Why?  Why in hell is Tony LaRussa so stubborn and close minded enough to throw away yet another game???   With plenty of other pitchers to choose from in the bullpen, TLR lets yet another game get away (Thursday to the Pirates)...6 outs away from a well earned win...give Izzy the ball for a third of an ...(more)

SD released him....injury prone, batting under 200.  Think ol Jimmy is done?  If so, he had a GREAT career.  I hope he retires a Cardinal.  (One day contract)

(POLL)

With Jason Isringhausen struggling, what should the Cards do about the ninth inning?

'08:

Isringhausen: 18 games, 1 win, 4 losses, 11 saves, 5 blown saves, 7.47 ERA

Rumor in Cape Girardeau is that the Cardinals are on the verge of trading Rick Ankiel to the Royals in return for Zack Greinke, who the Royals f ...(more)

Well it's official, Chris Perez is a St.Louis Cardinal and is ready for the Rays series.  So, I am sure many of you are happy about this move, but my question is, where will Chris Perez fit in in the rotation?  I am very excited to see him pitch!

Any body that knows about what is going on in the minors let me know. I don't hear much about them. I want to know who the up and coming prospects are and if there are prospects that might have been higher up on the charts but have fallen off this year. Card_68 I know that you probably know alot about the AA team living down there in Springfield. All comments are welcomed here about the farm teams ...(more)
