Anyone else notice this?

dang it Albert. at least the Cards got a first inning lead like last night.

My instructor, who used to be a High School Guidance Counselor in the area, just related a story about young latin student who barely spoke english who came into his office. The counselor asked him what he wanted to do with his life. The boy said he wanted to play professional ball. The counselor told him he didn't think he could do that.

That boy is Albert. Can you imagine telling Albert not to play ball? Glad Albert didn't listen to him. Instructors says it was his biggest mistake.

i'd rather watch jason marquis.

The dude doesn't even need to take a shower.

Do I make the trade before I've seen Gallardo pitch? He's supposedly an all star in the making, but the uncertainty makes me nervous.

at least I'd ad flair...wear a hawk, maybe do the slide into the mound like in Angels in the OF. oh ya and I'll do it for 60k a yr

The only thing keeping me going is the irrational belief that this inning will end someday and the Royals crappy pitcher will take his turn giving up millions of runs.

Then again, it seems like the players on this team have already given up on this game. cough wellsfloreskennedyrolen cough I say substitute everyone you can for rookies looking to make an impression and let them go to work on the Royals pitching staff.

Has anyone ever been DFA'd during a game?  If not, can Kip be the first?

pop out
fly out?

time for the O to get all those runs back and more. Juan and Scotty, do your thing.

I would've agreed with that three weeks ago. I'm not so sure post-injury. I know he's got 2 HRs in the last few weeks, but I'm still not convinced that he's going to catch up to a fastball by this nutjob.

Tony lets his starter give up three hits, four walks, and one plunked, while giving back a 3 run lead.

The cubs only went down by a run and came back to win.  We go down by five and there are fat ladies singing.

Learn anything?

America may run on Dunkin Donuts, but the Cards run on Chris "Slam" Duncan.

It helps when Kip is pitching. I don't see why he gets his next turn.

I thought they were supposed to call baseball games...not tell jokes.

Let's make up haiku for the rest of the game...maybe that will make the pain even go away...

Here's another:  
Molina Mulder
Carpenter on the DL
Summer will be swell

Rolen is my favorite player on this team, even more than Pujols, but he has got to go.

my how the mighty have fallen. the Royals announcers are making jokes about the Cards. this night just keeps getting better and better. ugh

has he every hit a more meaningless home run?

We're on pace to score 663 and allow 853. That projects to a 62-100 record this season.

But that's only if we allow Kip Wells to step on the mound again. Something must be done.

Cards should have won atleast 2 of those games.  He is worse than Marquis ever was.

Even though, he didn't replace Marquis...Looper did.

at this point, how could reyes possibly be any worse? i dont think it is possible

i also would like to see jimenez sent out, but who should replace him? dove and falkenborg have both been up and failed already, i dont think percival will be ready for at least a week or more, so what does that leave, should they try perez now? he couldnt be any worse

i have to say as well, a game like this makes it so hard to have any good feelings about the team, the offense did ok, but how often do u face elarton?

how sad is it to think that marquis, simontacchi, woody, even ponson could possibly all right now make our starting rotation better?
