Nice post McGee

My prediction: Marquis will 2 hit us and hit for the cycle.

[CardsofSTL]

I think the Cards should be able to take 4/6 in California and hopefully can take both games in KC. Of course then they play 2 games at home against KC so it is almost like a 4 game series.

[Cronos]

I was looking forward to this trip until the Padres started getting hot and our pitchers started dropping like flies.

A west coast trip's never easy, despite how nice the schedule looked a few weeks ago.

[CardsofSTL]

You are right about West Coast trips but I always go in foolishly optimistic. Still like our chances if the bats are hot.

Dodgers plan for Don Mattingly to still be their manager Friday

By Dylan Hernandez

May 22, 2013, 4:56 p.m.
MILWAUKEE – Don Mattingly will be managing the Dodgers on Friday when they open a three-game series at home against the St. Louis Cardinals, according to two people familiar with the team’s plans.

Before the last-place Dodgers’ 9-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday, Mattingly made comments critical of his players, in particular Andre Ethier, inciting rampant media speculation that he could be managing his last game.

Mattingly said he wasn’t worried that he could be fired on the Dodgers’ day off on Thursday.

“Do I feel worried?” Mattingly said. “No, not really. Should I be?”

He laughed.

By questioning his team’s mental strength, Mattingly departed from his long-standing practice of defending his players.

His most pointed comments were directed at Ethier, whom he benched in favor of Scott Van Slyke. Asked why Ethier wasn’t in the lineup for the third time in six days, Mattingly explained that he wanted to field a team “that’s going to fight and compete the whole day.”

Ethier was calm when asked about Mattingly’s indirect criticism, but said he was taken aback.

“I take offense to that,” Ethier said.

Ethier said he was bothered that Mattingly made the comments to reporters without addressing with him first.

“But other than that, it’s one where I feel like every day I show up and I’m trying to figure out ways to compete,” Ethier said. “I work hard. Whether I’m going good or going bad, I work just as hard, both sides. Obviously, when things are going bad, I’m trying even harder to figure out how to make things go right. It’s one where I’m struggling just like everyone else to get a grip and a handle of what’s going on and never losing hope of what our main goal is, which is figure things out and turn things around and figure out a way to get back to the top of this division.”
