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?

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.

by Cards81fan on Apr 9, 2008 11:06 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

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.

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...

by Phizzle on Apr 9, 2008 11:05 PM EDT   0 recs

I honestly forgot...

that the 'Stros had signed Erstad.

I seriously thought that he was out of baseball.

He's a gamer

It doesn't matter how bad he is at the game of baseball these days: he punted at Nebraska

Thanks Backe. You officially pissed off Albert Pujols.

by Epic on Apr 9, 2008 11:14 PM EDT   0 recs

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!

by streamman on Apr 9, 2008 11:20 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by TICY on Apr 9, 2008 11:21 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I think Dan said

Correia, Zito, Cain and Lincecum in that order. That's what I remember.

could be interesting. Hopefully our pitching stays locked in.

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.
