Ending the Chris Duncan Era
— rockinthered.com — Even though Tony La Russa talks about how Chris played baseball the "Cardinal Way", you have the... feeling Duncan never quite could live down the prospect of being a coach's son. It was always in the same paragraph, even if it escaped the sentence. (more) Ending the Chris Duncan Era

Cards Should Be Bargain Shopping with Carl Pavano
— rockinthered.com — Pavano isn't going to save this team and he won't add considerable value as a playoff contender,... but he will give us solid starting pitching from the back-end of the rotation, pitching that won't give away the game before it even gets half-way, while expending the bullpen too.

Can Cards SP Todd Wellemeyer Save Himself?
— rockinthered.com — Is today Judgment day for our estranged starter? Considering that there are 10 days until the non-waiver... trade deadline, and Wellemeyer has been called into question not just by the fans but by the skipper himself, it seems like this is now-or-never time for our struggling pitcher.

Cards Should Look at Davis and Pavano, Not Halladay
— rockinthered.com — Doug Davis and Carl Pavano provide two alternative options to breaking the bank on Roy Halladay. Are... they top-of-the-rotation starters? No, but who says we need one? I like our chances with either. (more) Cards Should Look at Davis and Pavano, Not Halladay

Stan Musial's Tribute was Fitting, Despite Its Flaws
— rockinthered.com — Stan Musial was more than the game of baseball, more than any highlight reel could show in... 60 seconds. Although it may seem like he was snubbed on Tuesday night, I don't think Stan would have wanted it any other way. (more) Stan Musial's Tribute was Fitting, Despite Its Flaws

Cards SS/3B Khalil Greene Getting Back on Track
— rockinthered.com — It can't be explained how much of a boost this must be for Khalil Greene, hitting a... home run in three straight games. Khalil has had a rough first stint with the Cardinals, to be sure, and what was needed most, above anything, was for him to see his hard work starting to pay off.

Pineiro Does the Cramp Dance
— rockinthered.com — That was probably the scariest leg cramp I have ever seen last night from Joel Pineiro. The... worst ones I have ever experienced have been in the dead of night, when you're lying in your bed helplessly writhing in pain as you wait for the clamp on your leg to loosen.

Taking a look at Dennys Reyes
— rockinthered.com — Dennys Reyes, who's 31-years-old, makes sense for the Cardinals for several reasons: first, he isn't due to... make particularly much this off-season, but the Twins might still not have the resources to keep him; second, his ground ball/fly ball ratio (2.62 is outstanding); and third, the Cardinals des (more) Taking a look at Dennys Reyes

Saving Olympic baseball
— rockinthered.com — The U.S. is out of the 2008 Olympics final round, losing 10-2 to powerhouse Cuba. Brian Barden... went 1-3 and the U.S. team only garnered 6 total hits, compared to 14 for Cuba.

Izzy out, what now?
— rockinthered.com — The good news is Braden Looper has now pitched 5 quality starts in a row, lowering his... ERA to 3.94. He most certainly will be a Type B free agent, unless he can get 5-6 consecutive wins and make his way into the Type A category. The biggest news, however, is the status of Jason Isringhausen, who has a "career-threatening torn flexor muscle near his right elbow." (more) Izzy out, what now?

Aaron Miles: Man, Myth, Legend
— rockinthered.com — No longer the man of the empty batting average, Aaron Miles is 10th among MLB second basemen... in OBP and 5th in batting average. He still doesn't walk much and his power is limited, but Aaron has catapulted himself as one of the best middle infield options on this team. From his grand slam heroics to his pitching appearances on the mound, Miles has done virtually everything this season. (more) Aaron Miles: Man, Myth, Legend

Sittin in the cheap seats
— rockinthered.com — You can say that last night's game was one of the most entertaining games we've seen in... a while. I know firsthand, as I was sitting in the right-center field bleachers in the midst of what was the most fun group I've sat by in a while. People were laughing, heckling (in good sport) Matt Kemp, catching home run balls, yelling at ushers, and cheering for no good reason other than, "Hey, we're at ... (more) Sittin in the cheap seats
