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.

Regressing?

or progressing?

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

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

Apologies for this, but it’s driving me nuts.

Anyone else having trouble logging on to VEB with Firefox 3.0 (on mac)? Every time I log on at the top of the page, it redirects me to sbnation.com. ...which is strange…doesn’t do that with Safari.

But even when “logged in” and at SBnation.com, when I click to go to VEB, it still says I’m not logged in.

Anyone know of a setting I need to change?
