June 7, 201313 yr “They’re the team that’s been where we want to be,” Cards catcher Yadier Molina says. “They’ve been at the top of the division. They’re a great team. It’s going to be fun.” Let’s dispense with political niceties here. While the Cardinals market the Chicago Cubs as their traditional rival, the Reds are the team with bite, the enemy with edge, the team that offers the most legitimate challenge within an improved division. The Cubs are a drinking game. The Reds are nine innings in the octagon. Strauss: Cards-Reds more than another series : Sports Was he drunk? Has he had too many concussions?
June 7, 201313 yr Was he drunk? Has he had too many concussions? Probably drunk. He got off early last night and him and some other teammates started drinking because they want to be like the cool kids in Boston. I think these Cardinals have a primary goal of winning this division. They haven't since 2009 and are probably tired of doing it the hard way.
June 7, 201313 yr Reds option Pedro Villarreal to Louisville, and recall infielder Henry Rodriguez. Is Rodriguez taking Villarreal's spot in the rotation?
June 7, 201313 yr That makes little sense to me. Why not bring up an arm for the bullpen? Going the entire series against the Cardinals a man down in the pen seems like the last thing you'd want to do.
June 7, 201313 yr Is Rodriguez taking Villarreal's spot in the rotation? Would probably fare just as well.
June 7, 201313 yr Tony Cingrani will not make his start tonight in Louisville. So he'll be pitching on 7 days rest. I hope he's sharp.
June 8, 201313 yr The difference between the Reds and the Cardinals. The Cardinals have a team full of hitters. And the Reds have guys that can hit home runs every now and then.
June 8, 201313 yr The Cardinals have ownership and fans that are all in for winning baseball. Their owner would never hire a fundamentally unsound manager and their ownership would not stand to have a team play anything less than fundamentally sound. You don't win by paying streaky players millions of dollars
