"Evidently the 2012 San Diego Padres, who are 17-34, took a cue from St. Louis, six years later, and began a mission to recapture that magic. They're doing their best to reunite that awful bunch."

Is Walt running the front office over in San Diego by telecommute?

Jason Isringhausen is still pitching for a major league team at the age of 39.

I would have thought he'd be prepping for a total hip replacement by now.

Nick Punto gave the Boston Red Sox the kind of production they've come to expect from Dustin Pedroia.


Punto homered and fell a triple shy of the cycle, Felix Doubront won for the fifth time in six starts and the Boston Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-4 Saturday.

"We're playing good baseball and for me to get in there and contribute a little bit felt great," said Punto, who has been filling in for Pedroia while the former MVP recovers from a torn muscle in his right thumb.

Brett Wallace (I know, not a former Cardinal) was called up today to replace C Lee who went on the DL, was hitting .265 with 10 homers and 37 RBIs in 50 games for Oklahoma City, went 2-3 and got HBP.

Brett may not be a former Cardinal in the sense that he never played in the majors for us, but he's still a product of our system, just as Covelli Crisp and Jack Wilson are.

Colby Rasmus went 5-for-5 and was a triple short of a cycle tonight. His numbers kicked into gear right after he got a couple of days off.

Kyle Russell was a high profile 4th round pick the Cardinals couldn't sign a few years ago. He's in his third season at AA, where he's striking out about a third of the time. He's got a 750 OPS, which isn't so hot for a guy who turns 26 in a couple of weeks.

I remember him - University of Texas, right?
