welcome to thunderdome (i mean, the cardblogosphere)

[hopefully, this doesn't post twice]
g here (aka geronimo, aka gthedamned). i've been blogging for a few years now, but it's finally time for me to devote a whole space to one of my passions, namely cardinals baseball. for those of you looking for another metric for your fantasy league team, this blog is not for you. in fact, i will probably shy away from stats a lot more than other baseball blogs. i can only keep a few numbers going in my head at a time, so while i know that john gall is currently batting .397 in aaa, i can't remember what albert's average is. i don't consider this to be a problem, as that information is available elsewhere.

now, for my first post...

dear god, what's scott rolen gotta do to score a run? two doubles inches away from being homers, and how many times has he been left on after great efforts at the plate in the last few games? scott is still underappreciated, by cards fans and the rest of the league alike. the fact that he is hitting like this after last season's collision with a mountain in/from korea is a testament to how great this guy is. even if eckstein is officially our second best hitter right now, let's show scott rolen some love. he's one of the hardest working players in baseball, and therefore a perfect cardinal.

i won't say anything about sir albert, so as not to throw a jinx his way.

juancarnacion might be showing some signs of life (maybe). (i bloody well hope so).

i had to pass up tickets to the game last night because my son is only two weeks old, and i'm already leaving him alone with my wife on friday to go to the game (as part of her x-mas present four-pack). it hurt like being knifed in the belly.
