I heard Phambino jacked one in the first today at Wrigley? Can that be right?

I heard Phambino had a triple to lead off the 8th Monday night and scored the tying run in the Cards win.
Then I heard he had the game tying rbi AND next up the game winning rbi last night. On a 3-0 count.
Can that be right?

Why isn't the Phambino going to play tonight.....oh that's right, 4 K's last night. He's had his run.....now that the scouting reports are out on him he's working on a one way ticket back to where he started.....a career minor leaguer.

One more win in Pittsburgh and it's time to line up the rotation, for post season play, get Holliday and Adams lots of AB's and a little rest for the regulars... Maybe even throw Waino into a game or two just to see what happens...
What a grind of a game last night. It felt like is was 3 1/2 hours long... Oh, that's right, it was 3 1/2 hours long. My goodness they need to enforce the players stepping out of the box and speed these marathons up. And if Tony Cruz, batting a cool .188 has to step out and adjust his batting gloves every single pitch, we might as well get ready for 5 hour games. Tony, you're a back-up catcher, with an average well below the Mendoza line. Just get in the box and take your hacks. It is painful to watch!!! What happened to the clock between pitches and the initiatives to speed up the game? 
Let's hope Wacha is on tonight and can give them 7 or 8 strong innings (in 100 pitches or less). We really don't want to have to count on Lyons vs Cole on Wednesday. If it takes Wacha a few innings to find his rhythm, this game may be over before the 3rd.
Go Cards!!

One 0-4 nite and the scouts have him zeroed in? bwaaaaaaaaa
Please, this post is even dumber than the one you made 10 days ago.
Phambino stats:
Last 7 games .294BA.......316 OB.......353 Slugging
Last 15 games .364 BA....391 OB.......818 Slugging
Last 30 games .321 BA.....391 OB.......593 Slugging
In 48 games with the big club he's batted .276
In 54 games in Memphis he's batted .326
Jon Jay is batting .216 for the year. He is batting .135 for the year with runners in scoring position. It gets better, his career post season BA is .233 with a post season slugging percentage of .265
Now argue those numbers. I am sure you will find a way.
But Matheney just might be as dumb as you though and go with the vet Jon Jay for post season. He has basically benched one of the hottest hitters to play Jay, his vet, oh his stats are right above if you want to see them again. Or then again maybe DeWitt, who singled Pham out tonight in the locker room, will convince stubborn Mike to do other wise.
As for Phams long minor league career it's been due to injuries. Lots of them. He was on the DL this year too. The guys done everything he can possibly do to make post season maybe this post season year we will want to actually get some production out of our center fielder.
I doubt though. Mike loves his "vets". Jesus.

The "Flash in the Phan" (yes, I am coining that phrase too) will not end up part of the Cardinal' long range plan.....and will be hard pressed to make the post-season roster if everyone is healthy.

Hard pressed?
5 outfielders will go to post season. At least. And keep in mind, Piscotty can go to first, and should. A lot. And Grichuk may not be able to throw better than 80%. And Holiday is Holiday so late in games we are ahead he will get spelled. And of course his forkin hammy.
So Swami which of these 3 are you taking in front of Phambino?
Jay
Bourjas
Moss
You still hard pressed? bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Whether you and I like it or not, Jay will go before The Flash....get over it....so would Moss if it comes down to it.

here's my list, for the first round, barring any more injuries:
pitchers
beslisle
choate
cishek
j.garcia
lackey
lynn
maness
rosenthal
siegrist
wacha
wainwright
infield
adams
carpenter
peralta
reynolds
wong
g.garcia
catchers
cruz
easley
outfield
heyward
grichuk
holliday
piscotty
coin flip
pham
jay
bubble
moss
broxton
villanueva
harris
lyons
not even close to consideration
gorgeous bourjos
kozma
I only have 24 on the list, so there's one spot left. pitcher or position player? i can see them dropping a pitcher on my list for a long guy like villanueva or lyons in case a game gets out of hand.
Do they reward the phamster for his recent performance or do they go with the veteran jay, who has done well in the postseason in the past. I lean towards jay since the postseason stage can possibly freak a rookie out. they might let him sit the 1st round just to take it all in..
these last three games are some big auditions for some of these bubble guys. hopefully, no one gets hurt and folks get healthy (yadi)
Rosters can be changed after each round.

I have forwarded this to Mike Matheny and John Mozeliak...

I would take Socolovich over Belisle IMO. Lower WHIP, better ERA. Minus his last outing against the Pirates, he has looked better than Belisle.
Pham is 2 out of his last 10. Jay is 2 out of his last 11. Phambino was hot....has he cooled off. The last series against ATL says who gets on the roster. Jay provides us another LH bat. Pham gets you another hot bad, but has he cooled off?? I don't like Jay, but I bet he gets the spot.

Nice work Haus.
Maybe Lyons over Choate.
One thing though, I don't know where you figure Jay as "strong" in post season. He had one big hit in 2011 game six, that's for sure.
Matheney being Matheney tells me Phambino is going to get screwed for the vet pick. If they go 11 pitchers, that 25th spot might be his ticket.
Keep in mind, post season has not exactly been a shining star for Matheney.
It's a huge call. If Grichuk can't throw well, if they want Piscotty on first, if they want to pull Willie Mays Holiday out in the 8th when ahead, this spot player is going to be playing in center field.

Speaking of Jay, last year the brass signed Bourjos to replace Jay in CF before the 2014 season. Bourjos couldn't hit a beach ball all year and Jay played his way back into the starting lineup. He also played his ass off in the postseason last year. Injuries aside, I don't recall seeing Jay get burnt very often on flyballs. He's a plus defender. The wrist injury has hurt his production, but it's all about experience this time of the year. Like the old saying, "just get in the playoffs.." Same with players, "just make the roster.."
Without getting into all the stats an chit, I bet his numbers last post season were pretty good. At least that's what my memory says...
