I hate Extra Innings
they loaded the Cardinals game after the Yankees game AGAIN today and yet again, the Yankees game is going to go 3.5 hours, thus I’ll miss the first inning of the game.
I love paying to get screwed.

oh im not a comcast fan
if you ever decide to make a switch Directv is great I can’t say enough good things about

i go with Dtv for the sports

Notice a facial resemblance in Kershaw
to Orel Hershiser on the one hand, and Da Raz on the other?
WOW.
Kershaw looks a lot like Orel Hershiser!
Whoah-I guess I wasn’t the only one to notice…

lol that's EXACTLY what I thought...i was watching Hershiser on poker on the treadmill yesterday..

Colonel – 1

LADodgers

all 3 of the LA boys get a start
on Sunday. Way to take care of your people, Tony (I’m not being sarcastic here).
And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...
As the rotosidebar says
we are skipping Pineiro’s left start. They blame partly shoulder soreness and partly punishment for coughing up the lead the last two times out.

I have a love/hate relationship with the Cardinals' middle relief corps.

Glaus struck out, Pierre grounded out to start the B1, Maza homered.
so did they figure out whats wrong with Glaus's gut?

i think they did that in KC for C. Duncan
and the scorekeeper said the rules say that if the ball is dropped because of weather conditions (where light counts as weather) than it can be scored a hit and not an error.
since when do scorekeepers follow rules?
that whole “didn’t touch the glove so it’s not an error” thing drives me nuts!

Scully is truely a wordsmith
he tied Kershaws start today with Joe Knuxhalls first win as a 15 year old (happened 6 days after Normandy) and walked up through why we should take time to reflect during Memorial Day

Scully just said
that Kershaw was “baptized by Cardinal Albert Pujols”
is that some kind of term for giving up for your first hit or something or what?

I don't care about your fantasy team.
So Pujols literally baptized him?

yes I know..
I’ve just never heard that before. And Scully is as old school as it gets so I was hoping someone here could enlighten me.

not taking shots at you or any thing
but how long have you been following baseball? that term has been used almost since the game was created.

Not necessarily
but that was the first time one of his pitches was pulverized and produced a run. It’s kinda like everyone here saying “Welcome to the majors!” but with play on the fact that Pujols is a Cardinal. You know, like in the Catholic Church?

seriously though
i would use the term christened rather than baptized.

why not just play it off the wall. And how bout Pujols hustling over to attemt the tag on the runner at second

that wasn’t as catchable as i first thought
but yeah, play it off the wall Skip. geesh
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
that's not really hustle
He’s supposed to be there. That was “guarantee double defense”. In other words, Russell had the double, the object is to keep it a double, so you have two cutoff men (both middle infielders) and the first baseman covers 2nd since there’s nothing else for him to do.
It’s pretty standard. He’s called the trailer and it’s the 1st base coach’s duty to inform the runner of the “trailer”.

likes Skip’s .229 .302 .250 .552
a lot more
than Rick’s .304 .360 .522 .882
against lefties this year
That plus the fact Rick has played too much the last week, he needed a day off*

I'm willing to bet he'd be worse in the AL

BTW jonathan broxton
turns into the next Bob Gibson in baseball mogul 2k7, if you turn him into a starter. Multiple 1.x era seasons in a row, every time.

I don't care about your fantasy team.
Agreed
And Yadi’s been rolling over a lot of pitches right to the SS lately.

Just turned the game on....
his line looks great…..what’d you all think of Kershaw?
i wish he was a Cardinal

He looked pretty freaking good

Hey Rocketman,
How bout you blast off with your first ML homerun? Come on, it would be fun

Barton is overmatched on fastball.
Hate to say it but it’s shades of Rico Washington all over again.

I don't care about your fantasy team.
i'm not saying he's Rico Washington
but I got a flashback there.

What about when Rick got dominated
Flashbacks then too?

now that you mention it
yes.
Proud President of the Unofficial Skip Schumaker Fan Club!
I don't care about your fantasy team.
i wouldn't go that far
at least Barton got a hit today. that’s way more than Rico would have done.
BUT, i still don’t think he’s ready for the show. i think he will be, but he’s not now.
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
he skipped AAA
and it’s showing. I’m not putting any blame on the kid… he just needs to be marinated a little longer.
Proud President of the Unofficial Skip Schumaker Fan Club!
I don't care about your fantasy team.
it's funny because, right up until he missed that last pitch
i was thinking “great ab!”
Then he swings and misses on a pitcher’s pitch from a great pitcher and I see several people say “overmatched”. maybe so, but I thought he looked good.
And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...
Would you be defending Skip here?
Honest question
Proud President of the Unofficial Skip Schumaker Fan Club!
I don't care about your fantasy team.
the rocket scientiest was simply
over matched right there.
that won’t help him one bit

Can't think of a better example of Ankiel's need to develope without
such high expectations. His swing is lethal…..but not fully functional for a big leaguer. He needs to save the “super cut ” for special occasions only….....

he was so good in that show that he didn’t even bother to be in anything else after it was cancelled…

I wanted to wait until the inning ended
but Springer has been good this month. 1.35 ERA
That April with his “nerve/overwork” injury
I could hear Russ
creaking to the ball on that bunt.

Hu's on first
I’ve been wanting to say that for so long…

Hu's on first
I wanted to say it just this once.

for pete's sake, just throw it down the middle Russ
he’s not going to hit it

Izturis is really quite impressive
going into the hole. Maybe it is just as Sleepy described, but I’m becoming a believer.

i hate to say it
because the second i do he’ll do some thing to piss me off,
but that was a great throw

absolutely was
and the ump got the call right at first, which was amazing.
And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...
I don't mind his lack of hitting with the D his is playing
But it’s a shame we have 3 position players all in that category. Kind of makes it a problem. If only Molina could hit just a LITTLE bit better.

Seriously?
Broxton bats and CHAN HO PARK is in the bullpen warming up????
Really?
by mattisnotfrench on May 25, 2008 6:24 PM EDT reply actions
Why isn't he a starter
as Sleepy pointed out earlier (what is this the third reference?), he’s got the build and stuff of a starter.
What’s the story?
by Hardcore Legend on May 25, 2008 6:25 PM EDT up reply actions
Watching Big Joe
hustle down the line made me fear for Albert’s heel as he stretched to glove the throw.
good,
after this at bat he’ll be 2-7. Hopefully with an HR.

is it really that dark in LA?
Vin won’t shut up about how dark it is.
it looks pretty bright to me

bush league psychout stuff
not turning the lights on until after albert bats…
And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...
My concern was not that we couldn't win last night without
Ludwick…..but rather why get a hot bat out of the lineup and screw up his timing perhaps? Thanks Tony.
What???????????
