Giving up already?

Least he got to the end of Jully..

I gave up in May.

I need the packers to start up ASAP
 
Ok whats the logic of trafing for Randy Wolfe?
hes not going to solve anything, and our farm system is weak already.
 
I seriously don't know what the deal is with this team, it's obvious our bullpen can't get it right. They need to make Wainwright the closer againwhen he returns. Other than that, we don't have a lot of options. It's a God damn shame

I don't need to tell everyone how ginormous this upcoming series in Milwaukee will be.....do I ?

No....no, i don't.

I'm already nervous.

yes.......Yes, they are.

We`re out of it.........

It is starting to look bad, we are about to be swept at home by the Brewers, the only salvation is the Cubs and Brewers play next. If we can manage towin our games, we can gain some ground again. I am not throwing in the towel until we are mathematically eliminated.
 
There is no reason for any Cardinals fan to give up until like FB said, they are mathematically eliminated. They have been beating the odds all season and aredue for some kind of a drop off, but please, they are 3 GB from first and 2 in the Wild Card, which could go back to 1 today.

If, and this is a huge if, Carpenter and Mulder can both come back healthy (at least 85%) then they will sure up some of the rotation and bolster the bullpen alittle bit. They trade deadline is still a week away and the Cardinals could improve themselves via the trademark as well.

Is losing 3 games to the Brewers a concern? Yes. Is it a reason to wet your panties? No.
 
Mil is a damn problem. But I for one hope that CC keeps throwing complete games. I hope he throws 10 in a row.

We suck right now, I hope we get it goin again. Wood needs to fix his stupid finger, Leiber needs to get back, and the bats need to wake the hell up already.

Cubs don't ever seem to do well being the team chased...they need to be the team chasing. Brewers lookin' real good, I've never heard of threestraight complete games before, that's just ridiculous.

Glad to see you feel the same way as I do JCH3
 
Its not really giving up more than it is loosing hope, even though seeing how they werent supposed to be in it anyway, they are above my own expectations.

Like i said earlier, i will never totally give up, but why would they wait until a week or two to try and make a change that has been needed since izzy blewthe first 3-5 games he did. Same thing with Franklin.

They know where the problem is and havent tried to fix it. HELL, THEY MAKE IT WORSE BY (quitely) TRYING TO PUT IZZY BACK IN THE CLOSING ROLE BEFORE EVENPROVING HIMSELF. The downfall always begins somewhere. Why would our offense really try to go out and score 11 runs, when the bullpen cant even save a 5-7 runlead going into the 7th inning AGAINST THE WORST TEAM IN THE NL CENTRAL???????????(even though houston is in last place)

It really comes down to making due with what we have. The Owner & GM of this team are completely worthless. What's sad is they think the 2006 WorldSeries was enough for us Cardinals fans to be satisfied for many years to come. Face it, we have a douche bag who owns the team and his yes man running the dayto day operations. In my opinion this is by far Tony LaRussa's most impressive season as a manager. A lot of credit goes to our players who have beenplaying their heart out. Lets face it, we are running on "E" in the talent pool. Our only hope is for Wainwright, Mulder & Carp to make some sortof impact in their returns. The Brewers made the smartest move in acquiring C.C., he might be that last piece of the puzzle for them to take it all of theway.

Which is why id rather lose hope and be surprised if they do something big to get into the playoffs, i guess in some ways it keeps us from gettingcomplacent at the same time.
 
The thing is pacmagic, 2006 humbled me very much. Any member here can tell you that zodog and wrote the Cards off way before the season ended. The way theCards played (backed in) to the playoffs was just horrible. Imagine how we felt when they actually put a run together when it mattered. I truly couldn'tsay that I believed the entire season, not even in the playoffs. I thought we didn't stand a chance against Detroit that year, glad I was wrong. Never losehope on your team until they are elimintaed, that's all I am trying to say.
 
Hank White just hit a bomb !! Those FLA dudes gonna intentionally walk him next at bat.....they don't want it with Hank White...nope.
 
Cubs Win Cubs Win !!!

That 9th inning was nerve-racking...good god.

So...umm, the Brewers are gonna sweep the Cards huh ?
