  Very likely an imposter, under cover being a Cardinals fan stlrams. Louis' favor, and not beside me out there screaming my head off!
  .
  The 2011 St. Louis Cardinals is some sort of prime example of precisely how difficult it is to produce a championship quality major league baseball team. In spite of getting, possibly the greatest baseball player to ever play this online game, Albert Pujols, an Genius pitcher, Chris Carpenter to anchor the pitching staff members, and a bevy of new an exciting position players, the company has fallen to mediocrity.
  
  Precisely what happened? That's not exactly a simple question to answer, since it's multi-faceted, although there are perform repeatedly mistakes which could hold most of the answers.
  
  Loosing Adam Wainwright, the second Ace of the Cardinal pitching staff, to Tommy John surgery prior to the season began was a huge blow to the club, but it occurred prior to the season which gave the Cardinals time to adjust to a different pitching rotation. Not that you might replace a Cy Young winner at the drop of a hat, but if it's visiting happen, better before than in the season.
  
  The fact that was unforeseen, was the complete collapse of All-Star reliever, Ryan Franklin, who had anchored the bull pen for the reason that premier closer of the Cardinals. For whatever reason, and believe me there were a whole lot of baseball people smarter than me who couldn't ascertain why, the reliever just couldn't pitch anymore. Within frustration, or perhaps courage of not looking to destroy any good memory of his past success, he retired from hockey mid season, something not done unless there's some illegal ramifications involved.
  
  Therefore, the Cardinals entered the season with the adequate starting rotation in addition to a strong bullpen, minus some sort of designated closer, which I believe is B. Ohydrates anyway. The relief pitchers are professionals and to say only one pitcher straight from the entire staff is capable of retiring 3 men in a row to end the adventure, is either ridiculous or you will have a real quality problem in your relief staff.
  
  Injuries plagued the Cardinals the whole season, and when We say plagued, I mean to list the number, types and players involved would probably take up all of those other article. It was high of an exaggeration to claim the team injury list resembled a MASH unit.
  
  So you have have an effect on a Cy Young winning pitcher, the retirement to your Ace relief closer and then a bevy of injuries, which often defied explanation. What else could get it wrong?
  
  As a fan I realize nothing about the financial side of the game, except to say it's not really a game, but rather major business, each team to be a middle sized corporation, not a mom & pop store. Therefore, I'll assume Cardinal management had valid causes of their actions, but the fiasco associated with not re-signing Albert Pujols before the season began was a major mistake. Louis and make our MLB predictions on the 2011 season . Albert Pujols and Shiny Holliday will do most of the damage on offense, but the Cardinals principal strength is their depth which will help them make up for a mediocre defense .
