Official Thread of the St. Louis Cardinals

162-0 here we come! Good first game.

Marlins' park looks great. Too bad this will probably only be 1 of 10 games this year to be sold out.

 

[UTCVol]

Good to have the first win under the belt.

Also, to any Marlins fans, that place looks sick.

Motte's plan: throw really hard.

Did you see the movement on his cutting fastball though? Good lord that was nasty....at 92mph, it went out and then went in...it was just disgustingly awesome.

 

[005]

Yeah it was basically a slider. He doesn't look pretty doing it, but lord he throws hard.

Lohse looked really good. I liked the aggressive approach Matheny showed last night.

Hope Motte keeps it rolling with you guys this year! Looks like he made the right career move switching from catcher in college!

Yeah it was basically a slider. He doesn't look pretty doing it, but lord he throws hard.

yeah I guess it was more of a slider...but jesus....92 mph slider....with a 99-100 mph fastball....shoot if he can learn how to throw a change up, he could turn into one of the best closers.

Oh and please beat the sCrubs please.

 

[005]

[UTCVol]

Great Holiday quote:

Reporter: What did you think about the Brewers NLC Champions banner hanging on the outfield wall?

Holiday: Our banner is cooler.

3-1 against divisional foes so far

 

[lylsmorr]

David Freese is just killing it so far

While I like sweeps, this is how I see it. You win the two game series, you go 2/3 and then you go 3/4 on the four game series, then you're winning in baseball. That's what the Cardinals are doing. If we had our actual lineup in yesterday, we win. The Reds are horrible.

Lousy game. Great win.

Lousy game. Great win.

All wins are great! Right? But hard to watch. Should have knocked Cueto out early in the game.

I'll take wins anyway we can get them. I thought a 500 record for April was likely with Carp out and Waino finding his way back.

The way the Reds are hitting, this looks like the perfect time to play them.
