long time no blog

according to statcounter, i have been getting traffic despite my extended absence from the workd of cardinal blogging. that's fantastic. i just got done watching via gameday our seventh straight loss, so i figured there was no way the rabid redbird curse was in effect, as i haven't posted an entry since june or before.

a bit of update. the missus and i have moved back to my homeland of knoxville, tn. we have cable for the first time, so we have seen almost as many cardinal games since we got back as we had for the last two years, at least on television. i was lucky enough to get to watch our dismantling at the hands of the reds live on television tuesday and yesterday, and then today, though i was at work, we've had no customers in the coffee box, so i kept up with the whole sad affair on gameday.

is anyone else looking forward to 2008? or maybe 2009?

offense-ive

i can't say i thought i'd ever say this... i'm ok with a 9-7 loss.

wainwright obviously struggled with his command, but that will happen. it was ugly, but hopefully fixable. that's what we have genius dave duncan for, and even if adam doesn't work out, perhaps he can turn randy flores into a top notch starter or something.

seven runs on twelve hits means offensive production. our pitching has been strong on the whole, so if we can actually score a run or six, we might win some of the quality starts we're getting.

series victory, guys. i know you've got it in you.

a win is a win

is a win.

dear cardinals pitchers,
just so you know, keep up the good work. if it's less than amazing, you'll probably be tagged with the l.
sincerely,
rabid redbird.

nice to see multiple 0-fer's ended last night. if everyone can remember how to hit today, there's a chance our boys might all progress to the mean.

thank you, gods of baseball.
