From what I've been reading, if you did know who Westbrook is you'd be even sadder.

So I guess that's it. The Cardinals are going to try to win with this offense minus Ludwick. Man, this organization is really disappointing sometimes.

and with Ryan and Schumaker as our keystone combo and a very light hitting catcher. It will be a miracle

Getting Freese back is just like making a deal......

I don't think winning with Pujols, Holiday, Rasmus, Freese is a miracle. That's better than most teams. Hard? Yes. Miracle though??
We're not the yankees, but we're not the Giants, either..

That team from Cincinnati is not going to lay down. They are playing like a team that has the baseball fundamentals down pat

And another thing...Now that Luddy is gone, who has the best arm in the outfield?

I think they will be there all year, but the Cardinals have a better team.

They are playing like a ~.500 team.

Losing Ludwick to get Westbrook does make you wonder where the Cardinals are going to get production from. Of course, he's been in and out of the lineup for the past two seasons. I don't know if that factored into the balance of things when they finally pulled the trigger on the deal.
Going forward, with Freese coming back, does that making Lopez the primary SS with Ryan, Schu, Greene, Miles filling in at 2B and elsewhere in the later innings?
Happy birthday, doe_boy!
I know that can read like a sarcastic, here's-a-sucky-trade-for-your-birthday wish, but it's really a genuine, hope-you-have-a-good-day-despite-it-all wish!
