Its not over yet, well pretty much

The St. Louis Cardinals need to win out and the Reds need to lose out, not going to happen, with there last two series coming against the Pirates and Rookies, who they historically havnt done well against in the past it is highly impossible for a postseason opportunity in 2010.

The good new for the Cardinals though is that they do have two candidates that are likely to receive awards, for example, Albert Pujols and his third straight MVP, and Adam Wainwright and the Cy Young that he has more than deserved this year.

Best of luck in the offseason boys.

Adam Wainwright as of now is only the third pitcher in the MLB to reach the yearly milestone of twenty wins in one year, and just the second to do so in the national league, only to Roy Halladay. The Cardinals pulled off there second straight win today against Tom Gorzelanny and the rival Cubs. Now that missing the playoffs is inevitable and out of reach the Cardinals are just aiming for another winning season alongside Tony La Russa. Only two more games like this and the redbirds will pull out there third straight winning season under manager Tony La Russa and Albert Pujols, mvp in the last two seasons.

Now tell me what you guys think, but Adam Wainwright and the Cy Young award were almost unseperable in August, but after three tries to get win number eighteen his era has rose and those losses only count in the wrong column. However it still looks as if the NL Cy Young is coming his way after last years bs call on giving it to Lincecum.

In Wainwright's career he has yet to have a season with an ERA over 3.50 as a starter, and there is not many people that have done the same. A nice improvement that is evident in his play, in the last three years we have seen his double play balls and groundout to popouts begin to steadily rise, thats a good sign for the St. Louis organization. Pushing 200 k's on the year, Wainwright is now tied for strikeouts with another Cy Young candidate, Roy Halladay. Coming down to now Ubaldo, Wainwright, and Halladay, out of the three Wainwright has the lowest ERA, tied for most strikeouts, lowest whip, and tied for most wins with his 20th today. Tell me if you think he shouldnt receive this honorable award.

The Cardinals play a few more games this year and all I ask for is effort, we all know they are out, but that is still no reason to quit, give it your all out there boys and make the season somewhat worthwhile.

Go Cards!!! Congrats Adam!!!

Hello Everyone, I was going to make this post just a little about me, but I don't want to take chances by posting something that is fully irrelevant to Cardinals. So that being said, My name is Brendan Broviak and I am somewhat new to this blogging and a new member of sbnation as well as vivaelbirdos. I was born in Minnesota and that is where I live currently, however I bleed red for the cards, blue for the Blues, and gold for my Rammies. I am a freshman in high school, I play on the varsity hockey and baseball team for my school. I play 3rd in the field and am the closer, as for hockey I am the goalie. A little fun fact is that I was two games from the little league world series in 09, it was a very exiting experience. Well enough about myself, my point is that I love the Cardinals and right now I am in that stage in ones career when they need a little experience so I have my own blog and will try to write on the one every night/ every other night, and if everyone could look at my older posts and the other STL blogs and tell me how im doing and give me some tips it would make this a lot easier. Thanks.

Now to the Cardinals, for me it is a bit difficult trying to write pre game or post game being that I dont have the chance to watch or hear them play at all, so I have to go off others, thus most of my posts are strongly opinionated.

The St. Louis Cardinals are my heart and soul for baseball and as the season coming to a close I would just like to say that we had the lead and then late August came along and we... well just died. It was fun, but lots of rebuilding needed.

Thanks go cards!!!

2010 number 5 disappointment

 by Louieb99 on Sep 23, 2010 8:48 PM PDT

The St. Louis Cardinals have gone their entire season without a decent number five pitcher. With names including Adam Ottavino, P.J Walters, and Blake Hawksworth to names like Jeff Suppan and the infamous Kyle Lohse (not in a good way). What do these pitches have in common? Well their ERA's range from 4.90 to 8.36 which is the five worst ERA's for pitchers with any games played in the 2010 St. Louis roster. If that isnt enough to persuade you to understand that the Redbirds either need another guy on the rubber or the old 4 man rotation will have to come into effect, these five Cardinals have a combined record of 11-25, now if you think this five spot isnt bringing down the house on top of St. Louis I would love to hear it.

I would like to focus on Kyle Lohse for a second before I make a wrap. Well this year starting Cards pitcher Kyle Lohse has only had two starts where he pitched at least seven innings, and in fact in both of the occasions it was only seven when he was yanked, the funny part is, that both of the games ended in losses for the team and a loss and no decision for Kyle. With a 10.43 ERA in the seven days is time for the Cards to bid farewell? Tell me what you think they should do with this 4-8 pitcher.

For next season if the Redbirds were smart they would find a filler for this empty hole. Tell me what you think the front office should about this problem.

Go Cards!!! Get the season over with!!! Thanks Cardinals Fans!!!

Jon Jay + John Jay

 by Louieb99 on Sep 22, 2010 9:32 PM PDT

While I was sitting in civic class today in High School I happen to hear John Jay as I was dosing off, not the Cardinals rookie phoneme , but a very important person in the Constitutional Convention believe it or not. Now that got me thinking what all this skilled Cardinals outfielder Jon Jay without the H has done for us.

One of the few good moves made by manager Tony La Russa was to bring up Jon Jay and keep playing him in the lineup. He is batting just over the .300 mark and has been a definite upgrade to the St. Louis defense making play after play. Even though Jon isnt the best power hitter it gives La Russa a solid number two hitter that he can bat before Pujols, which he likes or so say his 100 plus rbi's.

This Cardinals Jon Jay may be a great player in the future as well, but dont get him mixed up with John Jay of the late 1700's.

Keep it up Jon. We are counting on you.
