Rick

Love the glove, admire the arm.

But you’re not Tiger Woods, lay off the low shit.

Congragulations, Al.

You have successfully told us a fun and interesting story. You can go back to ranting about the color of Ankiel’s shoelaces now.

They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...

Rick had a nice swing on that one

he looks better today. Unless Maine just isn’t fooling him (or anyone)

Zito kicked their asses last year

and he’s coming off his best start of the season. Anyway, after him they get Cain and Lincecum and somebody else I’m forgetting right now.

Zito

has a lot of regressing to the mean to do

Regressing?

or progressing?

Did he ever Gress?

How would one go about gressing?

Oh maybe

When I saw an overthrow in the 3rd inning, I figured the cubs were playing.

Make them pay Yadi

it’s a slap in the face that they would walk Duncan to get to you

Pujols only has three years left on his contract?

Wow, time flies.

Albert isn’t just a player for the cards per se, he’s also a marketing machine they can leverage. They can’t afford to let him go, and I don’t think he’d even consider it unless there’s some issues with the next manager we have

albert should hire the next manager.

if they don’t resign him I will have to boycott

he'll get the elbow fixed

then we’ll start talking. I would hedge a bet that’s the approach we’re looking towards. There’s also plenty of time left in his contract to do it.

enough time

to get that elbow repaired and negotiate a lifetime card contract

As long as they continue to walk Duncan, I think this one is llloking good.

I like watching that catch

Probably because of how the game ended, but I love it

One of the best things about the way that game ended

was this

I figured that was worth double threading

The Molina bombs makes me happy for the ending.

The Chavez catch reminds me of how far my heart dropped. Plus the hole I put in my couch after I kicked it outta frustration…

Did everyone just see that All Star Game comercial?

with Ankiel on the billboard ?

I wonder if thats just a STL promo.

Like you see those billboards that say “because small burgers are for Cubs fans…”

and you know they say the opposite in Chicago.

So do you think they play it with Ank everywhere because of the story or just here?
and say in Seattle they have Ichiro or something

I thought the ASB was next week, not the week after. Let’s make that I wouldn’t mind having a 9-game winning streak this time next week
