This team isn't winning a World Series.

 

 

Of course, you would have said the same thing about the White Sox on September 15th, 2005.

 

Or numerous times about the Cardinals in 2006 or 2011.

Maybe now some people will realize just how important AJ was to this team.

 

 

Still don't think we should have overpaid him, but, with how the offense has struggled this season, anything resembling AJ's bat from 2012 would have been a huge help.

 

The odds of a repeat were pretty low...and then you were going to be putting off determining the future at that position by yet another season.

 

Of course, AJ's been injured as well.

30,631 on a holiday.

 

Wow...can't believe it almost ended up under 30K, and a good 10,000 of them are cheering for the Cubs.

Let's face it, 26,000 is a huge crowd for the Sox this season.

.500 is the upside of this team. Robin is doing a helluva job to have the Sox right there.

We could be Royals' fans....4-17 stretch now, 21-27 after starting out 17-10. 9 consecutive home losses.

 

 

 

St. Louis has the majors’ best record at 33-17.

 

The western portion of the I-70 Series concludes Tuesday night before the teams shift to Busch Stadium for games Wednesday and Thursday.

 

From there, the Royals head to Texas, which has the American League’s best record, for three weekend games.

 

Yeah. This was just the start to a tough week.

 

“We’re fine,” third baseman Miguel Tejada declared. “Everybody can see that when we take the field every day, we’re playing hard and everybody knows we’re going to win the game.

 

“What can we do right now? Just play hard and try to make something happen. One day, it’s going to go our way, and we’re going to start to roll.”

 

It wasn’t Monday.

AJ was better handling pitchers and better defensively as well as with the bat. Flowers has done nothing well and he doesn't appear to be very durable either. Plus AJ was the real on field leader of that team.

All indications are that the team was happy to see him leave, and IMO Flowers is the better pitch caller which is why guys like Peavy pretty much demanded to throw to him. Let AJ stay in the past.

santiago should be pitching over him and axelrod to be honest. let quintana and axelrod be the 5th and 6th starter.

Meh. I feel confident with Sale, Peavy, and Danks going for us to win the next 3. Quitnana is just a damn nibbler.
