Cardinals/Padres Game two

APCMan — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 16:35:27 +0000

After winning 4-3 yesterday the Cardinals look to continue their 8 game home stand with winning ways. Tonight, Greg Maddux, the future hall of famer will throw for the Padres, and be opposed by Cardinals righthander Braden Looper.

Maddux has struggled in 2008, going 3-8, with a 3.90 era. But he gets zero run support, which is part of his 3-8 record. Maddux, earlier in the year pitched against the Cardinals and got a no decision pitching 5 innings, allowing 5 hits and 2 runs. He is 26-20 with a 2.74 era in his career against the Cardinals. Maddux is 0-4 with 6 no decisions in his last start, and has not won a game in his last 12.

Our boy Albert Pujols is 12-38 for a .316 average lifetime against Maddux. In those 12 hits, he has 3 homeruns, and 6 rbi’s.

Looper, for the Cardinals is looking for his 10th win of the season. He is 9-7 on the year with a 4.25 era. Braden has lost his last two starts, and has not won since June 24th at Detroit. Earlier in the year Looper beat the Padres pitching five solid innings. He is 4-3 with a 2.91 era lifetime against San Diego.

Let’s go Albert and the Cardinals tonight! Keep winning!

Cardinals set to face the Mets for four

APCMan — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 21:04:29 +0000

The St. Louis Cardinals, 47-36 have now survived Albert Pujols’ injury. Chris Carpenter, Adam Wainwright, Mark Mulder, Cezar Izturis, and many others(15 to be exact) have also been on the DL, are still are on the DL. The Cardinals have had nine players make their major league debutes THIS season. With all that said, the Cardinals are only 2.5 games out of first place, two weeks from the all star break. This is a big week for the Cardinals. The New York Mets, 40-41, come into St. Louis for four games, before the Cubs come in for three over the weekend. The Cubs lead the Cardinals in the NL Central by 2.5 games, but the Cubs have struggled mightily on the road. The Cubs are continuing their three city road trip, for four games in San Fransisco starting tonight.

Kyle Lohse will pitch tonight for the Cardinals. A few months ago the Mets could have signed Lohse for the same deal the Cardinals got him at in March, but Mets GM Omar M. turned down the deal, sighting he felt that was too much for Lohse. Lohse would love to stick it to him and the Mets, like he has the rest of the NL so far this season. Kyle is 9-2 with a 3.94 era so far this season. Lohse has not lost a game since May 8th, where he pitched 4 innings in Colorado. He took a no decision his last time out against Detroit, but before that won his last 6 starts.

John Maine is on the mound for the Mets. Maine has been solid once again with a 8-5 record, and a 3.73 era. Maine has won his last two starts going 6+ innings in each. In his last ten starts, Maine is 5-3. He has pitched well against the Cardinals in his career, making two starts and going 1-0.

The Man, El Hombre, Albert Pujols is 2-6, with 2 homeruns, and 7 rbis in his career off John Maine.

We look for more mash city tonight in St. Louis. The Cardinals are hot, and are ready to have a huge home stand. Go El Hombre! Go Cardinals!

Albert since his return..

APCMan — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:56:56 +0000

Think the St. Louis Cardinals missed Albert Pujols while he was gone? Think the fans won’t give him an ovation when he comes to the plate tonight in St. Louis? Albert has been back four games, and just mashed the baseball. Just goes to show how much of a hitting stud Albert is.

He came back Thursday in Detroit, and promptly went 4-4, a walk, and a RBI. The RBI was the go ahead RBI in the 9th until the Cardinal bullpen blew his chance.

On Friday in Kansas City, Albert may not have had his best, going 0-2, but the Royal pitchers still walked him twice. Okay, 4-6 since his return.

On Saturday, Albert went a quiet 1-4, but was smoking the baseball. Okay, 5-10 since his return from the DL, and on base in every game.

Sunday, Albert showed he still had some pop. He crushed a homerun in the 6th and almost hit one again later, in the 8th. Albert ended the day 2-4, with a double, and a homerun, driving home two runs, and scoring twice.. Okay 7-14, since his return.

Except Albert to stay hot. As the Mets and the Cubs come to town the Cardinals are only 2.5 games out of first place. Albert smells another opportunity at postseason, and when he gets that smell- LOOK OUT!

Albert Pujols takes on the Reds

APCMan — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 17:16:42 +0000

Albert Pujols and the St. Louis Cardinals will take on the young Cincinnati Reds for a three game set starting tonight at 6:05pm. The Cardinals will throw rookie righthander Mitchell Boggs, who will make his first major league start. He will face the Reds rookie righthander Homer Bailey. Both pitchers have only pitched in one major league game, with Boggs pitching two innings the other night, and giving a run, while Bailey dropped his start on June 5th at Phildelphia 5-0.

Obviously, our man Albert Pujols has yet to face Homer Bailey. Let’s hope tonight for Albert is a reminder of Mr. Bailey’s first name. HOMER HOMER HOMER!

Go Albert! Go Cardinals!

Cardinals/Pujols set to take on Chacon/Astros

APCMan — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 19:18:41 +0000

Albert Pujols and the St. Louis Cardinals have dropped two straight decisions. Albert Pujols is 0-5 in those two games. All bets are on that to change tonight. Hopefully a few Albert hits, and a Cardinal win. It won’t be easy, as the redbirds will face the tough righthander Shawn Chacon, for a 6:05 start tonight in Houston.

In Chacon’s last start, he went 7 strong innings allowing 7 hits, 2 runs, striking out 7 batters, and only allowing two solo homeruns, to pick up his second win of the season. On the season Chacon is 2-1 with a 4.41 era. In his career, Chacon is 1-0 in 13 appearances.

Albert Pujols is leading the team with a .357 batting average. In his career against Chacon, he is 6-19 for a .319 batting average, with 2 homeruns, 2 rbi’s and four walks. He has struck out one time.

It’s time for Albert to have one of those “big nights” we see every so often with El Hombre. Tonight would be a good night for a big night, a strong outing from Wainwright, and a big red weezy W for the Redbirds!

Go Cardinals! Enjoy the game!

Albert’s season through 62 games

APCMan — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 20:46:02 +0000

We all know about the success the St. Louis Cardinals are having to start the 2008 season. The Cardinals sit in second place in the competitive National League Central, with a current record of 36-26, .581 win percentage. That record places them 3.5 games behind the Cubs, who are playing .639 baseball, right now with a clip of 39-22. The Cardinals are tied with the Phillies for the second best record in the National League, and trail only Boston and Anaheim in the AL, and have an even record with Tampa Bay. With 100 games to go, if the playoffs started today, the Cardinals would be the NL wildcard representative, leading that race by 2.5 games over the Florida Marlins. The Brewers sit three back of the Cardinals, and the Astros are 4.5 back.

Albert Pujols is having yet another MVP type season. Is he the MVP? Maybe, maybe not. Here are his numbers and how they compare to the rest of the NL.

61 games
76-209
.364 batting average(3rd in NL)
39 runs(t-18th in NL)
76 hits(4th in NL)
15 doubles
15 homeruns(t-6th in NL)
40 rbi’s(t-14th in NL)
47 walks(3rd in NL)
21 strikeouts
.485 OBP(2nd in NL)
