Pujols with a messed up elbow. I guess I understand the decision to delay surgery.
Been messed up since 2003, might as well just play till it blows out, since he's gone this long.

I do believe that's the route that the Cardinals are taking with Pujols. However, if they are going to do a full reconstruction he needs to get it done early so he can be ready for opening day of the following season.

The Cardinals signed Kyle Loshe to a 1 year contract late last week. They needed somebody they could count on to pitch every 5th day. He might start the spring training game on Friday.

He is an innings eater and can deliver 5-6 solid innings per game. He will still have his blow ups, but this will help the Cardinals' rotation.

Boys trust me on this one, Kyle Lohse WILL DRIVE YOU BATSHIT CRAZY! The guy has a very solid outing about once every third or fourth start making you feel hope towards his abilities. Then he shits the bed in about 5 straight starts. Follow this cycle with two great outings, leading you to believe "he's on the right track". Marty Brennaman loved to say, "You are what you are, and after 5 or 6 years up here it ain't gonna change". Yes he can eat innings, but he will cause a coronary in the process.Good Luck.

Jeff Weaver was the same way and he was a HUGE part of their World Series Title in 2006. I think you are discounting the Dave Duncan factor.

Very good point. I'd still like to see the Redlegs beat him around a couple times this year.

We had Kip Wells last year...nothing can be worse than that.

4-1. Wainright with 8 strong.
Amazingly enough, all that without a whole lot of offensive production from Mr. Pujols. Some of the guys are clearly playing above their capabilities so far.

Absofruitly. But if these guys can overachieve until Mulder, Clement, and to some extent Pineiro get back. Then if by some miracle Carpenter comes back and they are still in the race and he can regain his form, you never know. A lot of what ifs. But hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

Pujols 2 dingers and we're off to the races...wonder how long this SP will hold up.
Hopefully a long time. I am just wholly shocked at 7-2 and the pitching. If this can continue I will NEVER, EVER doubt DD again.
