St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!

Looks like we finally swept somebody. Going to the game tomorrow night. Hope they can keep this streak going for at least one more game.

I guess that too many bats in the lineup is a nice problem to have. Suspect that Craig and Beltan will see a little more time on the bench. I'm also hearing that Beltran may see a few games in center field. It's a shame that neither of them can play second base.

Btw, we're going to the game Friday ... duh. Anyway, it will be the first game for us this year. We have some good seats and we're really looking forward to it. We also hear that they are retiring LaRussa's number that night.

Maybe I'm showing my baseball ignorance, but Beltran in Center field? Isn't he a bit too old to cover that much ground and have that much speed? He's a hitter, but is he that good of a defensive outfielder?

Not ignorant at all. Center field is Beltran's natural (old) position. He's a decent outfielder with good instincts. But, age isn't as big a problem for him as his knees ... that's why they have been playing him in right field. Defensively, he's no where near as good as Jay but the club wants to keep his bat in the lineup.

Jon Jay is right at home in center, unless he needs a day off they should keep him there IMHO. Hopefully Molina is better and can play tomorrow, that's one guy the Cards can't go without for long.

I still have hopes of catching a game in August when I head home to Ky. Are there any give aways tomorrow?

Haven't heard when Yadi will be back. Whenever it is, it won't be soon enough.

The wife tells me that our game is Tony LaRussa bobble-head night.
