Please note the first arrow. Where the ball is supposed to be. In Tyler Greene's glove.Now look at where the ball ACTUALLY is. Scooting towards right field. How did it get there? It went through Mr. Greene's glove, between his legs and into the grassy part of the diamond. Not good, Tyler. Not good.The 2012 whipping boy didn't cause the Cardinals to surrender 15 runs and score 0 runs (at least totally), but that moment frozen above was the floodgate getting yanked up and a 3-0 manageable deficit soon become 5-0. Then 8-0. Then 15-0. The worst shutout at home since 1961 for the Cardinals.A historically bad loss.Butt kickin's are going to happen over 162 games. But keeping the players that push the boulders off the hills that turn wins into losses and losses into blowouts don't have to.Tyler Greene isn't contributing to the Cardinals in a positive fashion. We can sit here and rip him a new one, but that's been done. We all wish him the best. But the Cardinal...

Tyler Greene: TRADED

Via Cardinals Diaspora  |  August 09, 2012
The Tyler Greene era has ended with a thud. A night removed from a spot start that lit the fuse on a 15-0 beatdown from the Giants, the Cardinals have traded Greene to Houston for a player to be named later and a bag of money. Makes sense, since Houston GM Jeff Luhnow was in charge of the Cardinals minor league system when Greene was drafted.Some of his best hits on The CD:+ The...

On bad Cardinals losses and making the post-season

Via The Cardinal Nation blog  |  August 09, 2012
It is common and understandable to want to put a bad loss behind one as quickly as possible. For that reason, it is probably good that the St. Louis Cardinals have a Thursday afternoon game following their 15-0 drubbing at the hands of San Francisco Wednesday night at Busch Stadium. Yet, as the 2012 Cardinals fight to try to gain a spot in the post-season, I wondered if there could...

Matt Carpenter producing as a pinch-hitter

Via The Cardinal Nation blog  |  August 07, 2012
The bottom of the sixth, with the bases loaded and two out, was a pivotal moment in the St. Louis Cardinals’ Monday night’s game against the visiting San Francisco Giants. Cards manager Mike Matheny pulled starting pitcher Jake Westbrook despite the right-hander having thrown only 79 pitches and holding a narrow 3-2 lead. Matt Carpenter pinch hit and delivered a two-run single...

Cliff Lee, who is 3-1 with a 1.93 ERA in five career starts against the St. Louis Cardinals, starts the middle game of the Phillies' three-game series against the Cardinals. (Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso) This disaster of a season actually didn't start in 2012. It started on October 7, 2011, when the Phillies were on the wrong end of a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to the St. Louis...

Fully appreciating Octavio Dotel

Via The Cardinal Nation blog  |  August 08, 2012
Though it was not always the responsibility of the bullpen, I cannot get out of my head the fact that the 2012 St. Louis Cardinals are just 16-30 in one-run and two-run decisions this season. I guess in a way it is sort of the ugly underbelly of all the MLB-best run differential talk we have heard of late. After all, it would seem such a club should be a division-leader instead of...

Cardinals-Phillies Preview

Via Fox Sports Midwest  |  August 10, 2012
(AP) -- The St. Louis Cardinals haven't visited Philadelphia since defeating Roy Halladay and the Phillies in Game 5 of last October's NL division series. While there doesn't figure to be nearly as much intrigue surrounding this weekend's three-game set, a matchup between Halladay and Kyle Lohse could make for a competitive series opener Friday night. While defending...
