should we be
thanking backes for getting into an argument with albert before tonights game? It seems like Albert feeds off of that guy.
what happened?
i missed that

Albert decided to talk to Backes as the Stros were leaving the field after bp..
because apparently Backes wasn't happy with Albert's slide at home last night at home. Even after Al called Towles to apologize about it. Backes got mad thought Al was trying to talk to him about it at the wrong time and being unproffesional. They then had words. Now Albert hits his first two of the season. (not to mention that Albert said he was upset at Backes in the 05 nlcs for celebrating early. Albert proceeded to devastate Lidge's psyche)
And El Hombre
if 3 for 10 lifetime against Backe, with 3 HRs and 3 BBs and only 1 K in those 10 ABs.
Yup, Pujols basically said he made a deal with God
to get him up to bat in the 9th inning because of Backe.
That's alot to lay on 1 guy.

everyone knows
GOD is a Cardinal fan. i can totally see him letting Albert do that.
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
i love that picture
albert's arm is thicker than Backe's neck.
And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...
that's not Backe :P it's Ausmus

I'm quoting Backe again
"It’s apparent that we don’t like each other," he said. "That’s OK. There’s plenty of other people I don’t like in this game. It doesn’t matter. The competition between he and I just escalated."
Yea, smart move dumbass...
Your team thanks you.
Advantage: Pujols

that hole thing is gay
he tried to appologize and a backe wouldn t let it go so they jaw at eachother tonight? If it wasnt for this does anyone know who brandon backe is anyway? how many times a year you talk about him anyway?
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2

You think the Pirates could set a record
for most extra innings played in a season? They're in the 14th right now, and they've played at least two other long ones already.
I wonder what that record is...
I seem to recall them being in a inordinate amount of them last year too
Seems like they can never win 'em either

I honestly forgot...
that the 'Stros had signed Erstad.
I seriously thought that he was out of baseball.
...basically.
He's a gamer
It doesn't matter how bad he is at the game of baseball these days: he punted at Nebraska

Nice comeback to get Erstad
40th anniversary of Gibson's 1.12 ERA, Think he could pitch in the bullpen now?

you'd think I'd learn after all these years...it's never easy with him
I hate Ryan Theriot so much
The dude is terrible and yet every time I'm paying attention to what he is doing he gets a hit.

Pittsburg in trouble again
Bases loaded

It'll sound bad
but I almost wish that the Stros had Backes pitching tonight so the little F'er would have thrown at Albert, I believe he would have destroyed a window out in left on the Houston UNion Station, and blown the smoke stack off of that assanine train!
Pujols, Backe, and poppin' the champagne
Apparently the Backe vs. Pujols thing goes back to 2005

you can't sneak the sun past the rooster
I remember that
FOX had Backe mic'd for that game and all i remember before Pujols' bomb was his shrill squealing throughout the game.
Anyone know which pitchers we face in SF?

With 1 on and 1 out
Rivas hits one to the deepest part of the park for the Pirates but is caught by Soriano.
Game over.

Great game tonight!
I just wanted to drop in and point out that Albert should be on pace for 54 homers....but that damn rain out cost him one. Is it me, or is the rain out rule the absolute worst rule in all of professional sports? It's terrible. It really is. Many Cards were having great games and then they just have to act like it never happen? Seems very illogical.
Anyways, I'm done venting, though we all know this team should be 8-1 rather than 7-2. But I'll live with it.
Can't wait for Wagonmaker tomorrow night against the Giants. I'm feeling another solid 8 innings, giving up a run or two!!
I can think of a couple of pretty bad rules
I don't know if I think they're worse than the rainout, but up there with it:
1) The Designated Hitter...I hate it
2) The "ghost" tag of second base when turning a double-play. I think you should touch the bag if you're gonna get an out.

i love the DH
i think it adds so much more to the game, so many more options and strategies

thats true
if by "options and strategies" you mean go for the 3-run homer instead of worrying about bunting/squeeze plays/ect.
Anyone see this over at rotoworld?
"After the game, the Cardinals announced the acquisition of Brandon Backe. They don't need the pitching help; they just want him to start yelling at Pujols during batting practice every night."
There's an idea!!
Ah,
I can't wait, I will be going to the next three games in SF. So if you see a guy decked out in Cardinal gear going crazy over Pujols home runs and Wainright's K's, that's me.
