Could Matt Holliday have a career in the WWE?
ST. LOUIS Mick Foley considers himself good friends with St. Louis Cardinals right fielder Carlos Beltran (the two first met when Beltran played for the New York Mets).
But the Cardinal the professional wrestler would pick to join him in the ring plays on the other side of the outfield.
"Holliday had some set of forearms on him," Foley, who met with Holliday and other...
David Murphy Hits Ball Through Wall, Pulls Rabbit Out Of Hat
Is there a magician on the New York Mets? David Murphy obviously did not play Powerball last night because there was no winner of the $550 million jackpot. Based off of his hit last night, though, he should have played – and he probably would have won. After smacking a deep line drive against the Cardinals last night into the right field corner, Murphy somehow managed to...
Beltran Leads Cardinals In 10-4 Rout Of The Mets
As the Knicks were getting pasted in Indianapolis, the Mets did their part to put New York sports fans in a gloomy mood in tonight’s 10-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. It was the Mets’ fifth straight loss to drop them to eight games under .500. Since Jordany Valdespin’s tenth-inning grand slam, April 24, beat the Dodgers to go to 10-9, the Mets have gone 4-13.
ON THE MOUND...
Cardinals 10, Mets 4
Mike Matheny is still waiting for rookie left-hander John Gast to show some emotion.
''He's the same all the time ... he never smiles,'' the St. Louis manager said. ''Real even keel.''
Gast used that business-like approach to pick up a win in his major league debut Tuesday night.
Carlos Beltran drove in four runs and Gast threw six solid innings...

The Fab Five: MLB Power Rankings
Welcome to the first edition of the Fab Five: MLB Power Rankings. Realizing that most of the other websites or publications are into their sixth or seventh week of their power rankings, I have always felt that these rankings are most accurate when done after every team has gotten at least 30 games on the books.
St. Louis Cardinals: 5 players exceeding expecations for the Cardinals in 2013
The St. Louis Cardinals entered the 2013 season with expectations of competing for a National League Central Division crown and thus far, the Cardinals look like serious contenders. In fact, the Cardinals have been absolutely stellar despite some bullpen problems and offensive inconsistencies. Yet, the Cardinals are leading the NL Central and all of the National League with 21 wins...

Bring back the Mets’ bullpen cart
The starter is getting tired. The call goes out to the bullpen. Within ten minutes, the crowd sees the reliever making his way to the mound on foot.
But in the old days, relievers rode to the mound in the Bullpen Cart. Who remembers that? The cart’s top was a big Mets Cap. The sides were baseball bats, the rear were the seams of a baseball and the headlights were strategically...

In brief: videos for the off day
Last game
The Reds couldn’t get a win for get-away day yesterday in St. Louis. The 2-4 loss pushes them back in to fourth place in the division, though they’re still closer to first (2.0 games back from the Cardinals) than they are to last (3.0 games ahead of the Cubs).
Homer Bailey was really great through 5.0 innings, allowing just one run (earned; a solo shot by Carlos Beltran...

Cardinals 9, Pirates 1
After a seesaw season in 2012, St. Louis Cardinals starter Lance Lynn is on the upswing again.
Lynn pitched seven innings of one-run ball to win his ninth straight decision in a 9-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. The winning streak dates to Sept. 9, 2012, and ties Barry Zito of the San Francisco Giants for the NL's longest active streak.
Lynn ended up 18-7...

Manager Mike Matheny said neither Adams nor the team's medical staff thinks the injury is serious.
Adams originally was listed as hitting fifth Monday night. He's batting .524 with three homers and eight RBIs...
St. Louis Cardinals: Carlos Beltran is proving his bat still is dangerous
St. Louis Cardinals switch-hitting right fielder Carlos Beltran started the season a bit slowly. The 36-year old, who starred for Team Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic, had been nursing a broken toe that not only seemed to limit him in the field, but at the plate as well.
If Beltran's recent performance at the plate is any indication, his toe seems to be doing much...

Lance Lynn threw one-hit ball for seven innings and Carlos Beltran homered for the third straight game to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-0 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night.
Lynn (3-0) did not allow a hit until John Mayberry Jr., led off the fifth with a double. Lynn struck out eight and walked three in his longest outing of the season.

Friends, That's How You Roll Over
That game was so ugly, it went into a haunted house and came out with an application.
You're right. That wasn't funny.
And neither is the sequence of numbers 0, 1, 2. As in 0 runs, 1 hit and 2 errors. If Stanley Kubrick was around, I think he'd be working on Clockwork 2.
Thank goodness Carlos Beltran was able to scratch out 1 hit, otherwise literally...
