www.cardinal70.com — I don't think very many people have accused Tony LaRussa of not being creative and open to new ideas. I mean, we've got the pitcher batting eighth, redefining the way relief pitchers are used, stuff like that. And now, he's showing that he's not bound by convention with his leadoff man. Tonight's lineup, via Bernie : Ludwick 9 Ankiel 8 Pujols 3 Duncan 9 Glaus 5

Joe Smith will be optioned to AAA, eventually
theropolitans.com 5/10/2008 — Depending on how the games are played out on Saturday, Joe Smith may be optioned to AAA after the second game, or maybe not at all. The Mets plan is to send Smith to the minors to make room for Matt Wise to come back off the DL.

Era Ending? Edmonds Exits
www.cardinal70.com 5/10/2008 — The Padres have released Jim Edmonds . I don't think many of us really expected that when he was traded back in December . Sure, the contract was up at the end of 2008, but he should be able to put together the semblance of a decent year. Even last year, a down year by his standards, he stroked 12 homers and hit .250. Apparently, that wasn't the case. After a .178 average

The Great One
www.cardinal70.com 5/10/2008 — With the great ones, you just know. You just know when they are going to do something to win the game.

Last night was another one of those situations. Seeing the lead that Pujols was getting off second and how long .
