Because of this number: two.

That's the number of people who have put up more WAR over the last two years: Mike Trout and Andrew McCutchen

I probably don't make that move because of his age, but you would have him for the next four years, and he would be well worth his arb dollars.

You check his WAR? He still has 4 years left. We need some bats with pop. We have to hit more home runs.

Carpenter
Jay
Holliday
Peralta
Molina
Grichuk
Adams
Wong
Wainwright

Playoff Roster Should be:

SP (5): Waino, Lynn, Shelby, Wacha, Lackey
RP (7): Rosenthal, Neshek, Martinez, Freeman, Scroate, Maness, Lyons (long man)

Position Players:

OF (5): Holliday, Jay, Bourjos, Grichuk, Taveras
IF (6): Carpenter, Peralta, Wong, Adams, Kozma, Descalso
C (2): Molina, Pierzynski

Looks like AJ is out. Cruz is on the roster and AJ is not. I just don't get this. Cruz is 6-40. He can't throw out runners. AJ can pinch hit. He has great numbers against Grienke. So we get Delcasco off the bench as our LH bat.

Gonzales, Kozma makes the roster.

Lackey gets game 3. Miller gets game 4. Wacha to the bullpen.

You didn't really think Matheny would go into the playoffs without his buddy Descalso did you? Just wait until you see him pinch hit with a game or a series on the line, because you know it's gonna happen.

Having Cruz instead of AJ is absolutely reeruned. They both suck at throwing out runners and AJ bats around 100 points better than Cruz. It's easy math but AJ isn't a Matheny guy.

Thats the bottom line isn't it. He's our buddy. **** putting the best players on the field. We want our buddies by our side.

I'm sure it's been said, but how much fun would an I-70 series be on CP? ROFL If wishes came true, everyone would die of EbolAIDS.

In reality the Cards fans would be fine with whatever happened for the most part, I would have a hard time feeling too bad losing a WS to the Royals (again). On the other hand the Royals fans would be mostly unbearable with either outcome.

Royals fans resent the shit out of Cards fans to an unhealthy level.

We won't beat the dodgers, so it's wishful thinking.

Thats what "everyone" said last year.;)

Our offense is just flat terrible. Against that pitching staff, it's gonna be ugly.

Well we have a pretty solid pitching staff also. We may stink it up. Get swept. Thats a possibility. Kershaw and Grienke are top shelf.

But, If you haven't learned by now, you never will........... Never count the Cardinals out in the post season.

O.city 10-02-2014 12:58 PM

You may very well be right.

But, most of those teams could hit an score runs consistently.

This one, can't.

kcxiv 10-02-2014 05:25 PM

Our rotation is kinda set now.

Kershaw, Grienke, Ryu and either Kershaw/Haren in game 4.

So glad Ryu made it back, was really worried for a second that we might have to throw fausto lol

'Hamas' Jenkins 10-02-2014 06:30 PM

The worst Cardinal offense of a generation is going to need some ridiculous luck with hit sequencing to win any series, because they have no gap or HR power.
