Thought for the Day: Do you know how important now is? Enjoy it as much as you can,
www.socialmedia.com Don’t be bored, baseball fans. . .Watch YouTube: 2012 All-Star again. Yes again. You gotta vote for our Cards. It’ s easy! Show ‘um the love!
Cardinals’ Bird Poop/News! Let’s Listen to: da da da da da da – Charge! We are ready for baseball!
BTW that cap is NOT Cub blue. Blue is OUR secondary color, okay Our Cards are 22-16 & playing .579 ball. Central Division first by 2.5 games! Cardinal baseball all week (no off-days) Woo hoo!
The 2011 Worlds Series Champions & 2010 Worlds Series Champions split a two-game series. That makes sense, doesn’t it? Perfect sense. Now it’s on to the SO Dodgers. SO Dodgers not LA because the club have been like a Soap Opera over the past six months — the divorce, the money & the exciting new owners, etc. lol Now we are there! Lefty, and former Cubbie, Ted Lilly will pitch in the opener Friday night for the Dodgers. We will face him with our rookie RHP Lance Lynn. Let’s keep that soap opera running and kick their butts! Thursday, 5/17/12, Cards @ Giants L 7-5 SAN FRANCISCO — Sloppy defense just gave this game to the Giants. Errors & three of them – yeah three! That’s not good to see, guys. Freeser, Carp2 & Berky all with Es. The Giants say “thank you.” We split the series. A win for each champion! Our bats were hot – but not quite enough. Yadi got a homer off Sergio Romo – it was his first run of the season in his 14th appearance. Yadi! Yadi! Yadi! MattyHo (chill it’s only Holliday) hit a two-run dinger in the 3rd. He had a three-RBI day! It’s on to play the LA Dodgers for a three-game series. Let’s start playin baseball again! Errors like those today were unlike our club – you know errors will do nothing but hurt us (ask the Cubs – they sure know!)
BITS OF BIRDY! ALLEN CRAIG – Craig went to the DL Friday with a strained hamstring. KYLE MCCLELLAN – Mac has been having intermittent trouble with his right elbow. He went on the DL Friday. The club is concerned that his injury could be a lon-term issue. 1. JON JAY – JJ is headed to the 15-day DL – right shoulder sprain from 4/19/12. He returned on 4/27/12 but Tuesday said he admitted that his shoulder was never 100 percent yet. “I still felt it,” Jay said. “It was just one of those things where I wanted to be out there and try as best I could. It’s gotten to the point where it’s better to take a step back now, get some rest and then go from there.” 2. CARLOS BELTRAN – Beltran was back in the lineup on Friday. He and his knees are day-to-day. With Jon Jay and Allen Craig on the DL the club needs Beltran to “do what he [has] to do to stay in the lineup.” He will be looked at again on Saturday to see if he can make his second straight start. “Right now, I feel good,” Beltran said. “I’m just hoping to wake up tomorrow feeling good and be in the lineup.” 4. SHANE ROBINSON – Robinson made his way back to STL for the game Tuesday, but his luggage didn’t follow. He was just sent to the Minors but was called back to fill in for Jon Jay. He was forced to scramble for some equipment for the game. “It’s been pretty chaotic,” Robinson said. “I am trying to get everything back together and figure out what I need. I’m going to have to walk around and see [whose glove] feels as close to mine.” He was good with bats. He just got in a new shipment. Whew!
CARLOS BELTRAN NAMED PLAYER OF THE WEEK OUR SLUGGER Carlos Beltran just made the NL Player of the Week this past Monday (sorry this is late). Last week he lead the National League in a host of offensive categories. He led the NL with six home runs, 13 RBIs, eight runs scored, 30 total bases and his 1,200 slugging percentage. He hit in five of our games – homered in four of them. This is his sixth time to win this honor in the NL. He wears the birds on the bat and we are proud of him! Congrats & Woo hoo to you!
WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! We’re Cardinals Fans. We always want to win. Yay! Now we can help those in need when we win.
Check out this press release. Our Cardinals backing us on this, so do what you can. The Cardinals thank you!
AND OTHER BASEBALL POOP/NEWS!
www.mlb.com WATCH IT! YOU PLAY A KID’S GAME BUT YOU’RE STILL GROWN MEN! TORONTO’S BRETT LAWRIE ACTS UP @ TUESDAY’S GAME TORONTO — Toronto Blue Jays third baseman, Brett Lawrie got a called strike in the ninth inning. He didn’t like that call and upon that, Lawrie lost his composure. He pulled the helmet off his head and slammed it to the ground at home plate umpire, Bill Miller’s, feet. The helmet bounced and struck Miller on the leg. The final pitch of the at-bat appeared borderline high and perhaps outside. “I believe (the helmet hit him),” Lawrie said. That was not my intention at all. I’ve never, ever done anything to an umpire before in my life and I didn’t mean to tonight. I apologize for that. It took an unlucky bounce and I think it got him, so I apologize for that. “I’m not going to say I’ve never had a dispute (with an umpire) but I’ve never thrown anything or gotten even close to an umpire like that, or ever put an umpire in danger. That’s just not what I’m out there to do. It’s just my passion for the game. I wanted to help my teammates out the best I could.” Lawrie had to be restrained by his manager. Both men were ejected from the game. Sorry or not, Lawrie can expect a suspension from Major League Baseball.
CHICAGO. Long-time Cubbie pitcher, Kerry Wood announced today that he will retire after his next appearance. Yeah how this came about is all a little weird, but we’re talking Chicago Cubs aren’t we? They’re a little weird too!

Before I say “see you next time”, I just had to pass this quote on to you, fans. It’s Joe Jackson from “Field of Dreams.” It’s baseball & it’s beautiful! “Man, I did love this game. I’d have played for food money. It was the game… The sounds, the smells. Did you ever hold a ball or a glove to your face?…I used to love traveling on the trains from town to town. The hotels, brass spittoons in the lobbies, brass beds in the rooms. It was the crowd, rising to their feet when the ball was hit deep. Shoot, I’d play for nothing.”
