Strauss Live 8-4-10

Joe Strauss: I know, I know. We're a few minutes late today. Access issues at the ballpark. I'm sure you understand. But now I'm comfy in the palacial Busch Stadium press box workroom ready to dive into the weekly bi-play known as Joe Strauss Live!!! From the looks of the question list, Cardinal nation is suitably exorcised about the Ludwick trade, the Freese breakdown and the bullpen meltdown. For those who haven't heard, the club this morning placed Jason Motte on the disabled list with a sprained A/C joint and recalled Fernando Salas, who now challenges Allen Craig for frequent traveler points on the Brad Thompson Expressway (I-55). The Tsunami has arrived. And you can't stop the tides. Time to climb the board and surf!!!
