Jimmy

Why do athletes have to leave the game so gracelessly? He should’ve retired after the WS win in 06 and rode off into the sunset. It’s just sad and pathetic. Of course, he made quite a bit of coin off that act.

by spants on May 6, 2008 11:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

retire after 07

I think he was going to retire after last year but the Cards declined their 07 option and resigned him to a 2 year deal.. kind of left him no other choice

Jimmy was so much more banged up, what with the feet and the head injuries. Maybe that’s why he couldn’t properly assess whether he could keep playing…

I like how you said ONLY 114

That’s quite alot. Like (I think it was) Sleepy said earlier, his arm crapped out late last year, maybe it’s not so wise to push him so hard early this season. But it sure would have been nice for him to get that CG

shouldn't there be a separate statistical category of "save" to be distinguished from a save?

If you make the game a save situation and you simply fail to screw up sufficiently badly, that’s very different from coming into a 5-4 game and knocking out three guys in a row.

by tom s. on May 6, 2008 11:38 PM EDT reply actions  

it was a save situation when he came in

2 men on means that even if the game had been 7-2, he would have earned a save.

Speaking of the Phils

What’s up with Chase Utley? The guy is having an insane year.

Can I get greedy for a second?

What would this teams record be if Brendan Ryan had been healthy and we hadn’t had to use Uncle Rico in crucial late game situations?

I'm gonna say

2 more wins. not that I could give specific examples, of course…

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

Ankiel is latin for

Bad ass mofo…

From the warning track, dead accurate…at EYE LEVEL to Glaus.

This is the most exciting stretch of baseball I have ever watched, with the exception of the 1991 World Series.

We are witnessing the birth of something special here, and I, for one, am thoroughly enjoying it.
