Memphis was postponed, much to Joe Strauss’s chagrin.

(I’m leaving that Fangraphs link up, because its hilarious.  Apparently, Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch is older than he looks…)

Speaking of Future (non-)Redbirds and Mr. Strauss, the never-ending Roy Halladay speculation continues with the news from Mr. Strauss’s twitter account, that the Cardinals could get Halladay without including Rasmus. He specifically mentions Dan Descalso as a commodity of interest by the Blue Jays.

The Palm Beach Cardinals complete a 6 game sweep at the hands of the Tampa Yankees. Yikes.

Let’s take a look at the guts and the gore.

UPDATE: Chris Duncan has been optioned down to our friends, the Memphis Redbirds. No word on who is coming back up.

UPDATE 2: Barden is up for Duncan.

UPDATE 3: Chris Duncan is now actually traded to Boston in exchange for Julio Lugo.  Big props to AZ and HL for breaking it over at Viva, discussion is here at Viva El Birdos. Also, looks like there is another PTBNL involved, so more looking around the minors for the name of that player.  Mo does love his PTBNL.

Palm Beach was postponed. Quad Cities game was suspended in the 3rd.

Troy Glaus and Khalil Greene will be heading to Memphis tomorrow.

[Edit: By the way, this DFR was brought to you by the two-part season finale of House, M.D. Season 4.  Still a little miffed that Amber died.  I liked her better than Thirteen or Kutner.]

Per John Mozeliak during today’s KSDK Cardinal broadcast (paraphrasing):

Jaime Garcia is a few weeks away from starting his own rehab program.

There’s potential that if everything goes right he could be in STL later this year.

I’ve gotten a few complaints about the site being notoriously slow to load. I thought about simplifying it down. What say you?

Update: I made a few changes, still like the header a whole lot so I didn’t want to lose that. Tried to simplify everything else as much as possible, let me know your thoughts.
