dingo: why is mark bulger still a ram. why not go after a good quarterback??
Jeff Gordon: The $65 million contract has something to do with it.
pulen527: The Orioles are looking into a new shortstop and really want JJ Hardy. The Cardinals really want Brian Roberts. Could there be a possibility of a three way trade, with Roberts coming to the Arch, Hardy going to the sea, and Daniel Cabrera and prospects (from both teams) going to Milwaukee?
Jeff Gordon: The O's seem committed to Roberts and signing him to an extension right now. But we'll see.
Gary Nguyen: Jeff,
The game is won in the trenches. It does not matter which QB is put behind our OL. The QB will get creamed by other teams. Why not play Brett Romberg, Greco and Schuening? Our OL is pathetic. If there's no protection, it does not matter if Kurt Warner is behind our OL because he too will get hammered by opposing defenses. Will the coach hear this?
Jeff Gordon: The Rams do need to block better. Are the kids ready? Maybe we'll get a look later.
Kyle: Hi Jeff,
Thanks for taking my question...
I'm putting you on the spot but where do the Blues go from here? Scoring is becoming an issue as of late (like last season), Stempniak has yet to turn the corner (a key to getting this team back on track), one of the rookies the club looks to make a showing (Oshie) has gone down for probably a month or so and Brewer is NOT solidifying the defense core like he should (most fans favorite whipping boy). It's early enough to make some changes so the team doesn't lose precious points that may be harder to obtain later in the season. Do they cut their losses and Stemper for another scorer or a reputable D-man? Do they flow guys in from Peoria and hope one comes to life? They are at a fork in the road so where do they go from here?
Thanks for your insight.
Jeff Gordon: Stempniak looked great in the preseason. The Blues need to get that back, especially with Oshie out.
That's it for this week -- talk to you all again Sunday.
Gabe: If the Blues do not provide a more consistent effort, how much longer will Andy Murray be behind the Blues bench?
Jeff Gordon: Murray will be on the spot of the team doesn't stay in the hunt. He doesn't have to make the playoffs, but he has to keep the team moving forward.
That looks like it -- see you Sunday.
