Rolen slumping bad...

I love Scott Rolen but geez he's 3 for his last 38 AB's and I'm tired of watching him ground out with runners in scoring position. Granted his shoulder is or never will be a 100% but Luna or even Nunez would at least get you a little offense, not .095 since the all star break. Just an observation on my part, just trying to get Pujhols a little help...

So your saying he's overpaid and should be sent to the minor leagues? You'd think he was playing for the Twins with such a high batting average with runners in scoring postion. I'll bet he lights it up in the playoffs.

What's overpaid now a days anyway? I'll give Scott credit for fighting through it even not at a 100% he want's to produce like everyone else in the line-up but spot em here and there so he can heal properly that is all. Maybe he's just pressing to much...It's not like he's Kevin Brown...

well you could look at it this way, both him and walker are not a %100 right now, but the cards arent in much of a race(pretty much got it wrapped up), they can just get by on what they have for backup and coast through the 2nd half until the playoff start. If the race gets closer for the cards, which I dont think it will, your guys shouldnt have alot of pressure to win.

The cards as a team are looking good, I would say this years team is better than last years, and thats just because of how much your starting pitchers have improved. If the cards are looking to make any moves, the only thing I think they can improve on is maybe relief pitching?

I agreewith you on your post the other day, if anyone deserves a ring its Larry Walker, and I would be glad to see the Cards take it all this year just to see a guy like that get a ring, and there are others on the cards, but Walker really sticks out to me, not sure why, just have always had a lot of respect for the guy.

Dave - Larry Walker to me has always been a class guy and because he played in a pimple market like Montreal and a band box in Colorado he's always exemplified professionalism without notoriety. And if you asked Larry he would rather have it that way. He fits in well in the Cardinal (team first) family. Others deserving are Jim Edmonds whose whole career has been a ESPN Sportcenter highlight reel. Matt Morris, Jeff Suppan, Scott Rolen, Julian Tavarez, Ray King even John Mabry whose been with the St.Louis organization on and off his entire career. For the great teammate and companionship of lost starting pitcher Darryl Kile which LaRussa still has DK's 57 Jersey hanging in his office. Departed Cardinals like Tony Womack, Mike Matheny and Woody Williams for his veteran presence and how dominant Woody was when he wore the birds on the bat. And last but not least for Mike Matheny whom unselfishly took Yadier Molina under his wing and answered all the rookies stupid questions and prepared him to handle this staff, for him too.

Thinking of Darryl Kile still brings a tear to my eye as well as the passing of Cardinal great Jack Buck... Yep the history is there but it's up to them to finish the job...

It's a good story that needs a fairytale ending. I just hope this is the year...

Rolen slumpin bad.. ahh Morneau has been just plain horrible if you take out the week or 2 after his head beanball. Rolen had a career year last year though and will never come close to that again. His career averages always put him up there with the 3rd baseman but he was never a complete stud. So take his averages with him being hurt and that explains where he is right now. I have still been holding onto him on one fantasy team hoping he snaps out of it.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
