April 16, 200917 yr Author 3rd game this year the Cards have scored at least 10 runs. I really like this offense so far, but don't understand why Ludwick isn't starting everyday even against righties. Its tough to lose Carp especially during a period when the Cards will be playing the Cubs(twice), Mets, Phillies and Braves. Hopefully it's 4 weeks and he comes back strong again. I totally agree. I think pitching will be the key for them this year.
April 16, 200917 yr Cards kinda catching a break with the Cubs battling their own injury issues right now as well
April 16, 200917 yr Who is out? I think they will split the four game series. Soto has been out till like yesterday. Ramirez and Bradley are both out

April 17, 200917 yr Author I missed the game. Mowed my yard then worked on my sister-in-law's car. :madman:
April 18, 200917 yr Ha I agree. Hope Pujols is ok. Did they act like it was anything? I didn't see it, just heard it on the radio
April 18, 200917 yr Author Did they act like it was anything? I didn't see it, just heard it on the radio Did he get hurt? I didn't see anything mentioned about it on the St. Louis's Post Dispatch or the Cardinals' websites.
April 18, 200917 yr He got hit right above the left elbow by Marmol in the 9th. It spun him around and he knelt down for a second. They were looking at it when he was at first, but I never heard anything else about it on ESPN or anything.
April 18, 200917 yr As much as I hate to say it, I'm starting to think Pujols could go down as the greatest hitter of all time when its said and done
