mulder's up because the plan was villone.

he’s up because villone is faltering. otherwise mulder is being saved for longer stints. just may not be possible if villone goes belly up.

if he’s being “saved” for longer stints, isn’t 2 innings a good “long” start for Muldew?

  • Something like half a million people live in gated communities at the end of cul-de-sacs in Irvine…
  • The comment from Selig is just despicable.
  • The cardinals need to unveil that statue regardless of whether Big Mac makes the HOF.
  • Did anyone ask R.J. when was the last time he called McGwire? Maybe RJ is a jerk that Mac doesn’t like/want to talk to?

You think McRae is worried about his job?

It seems that as soon as Mac says he wants to return, LaRussa will hire him as the hitting coach.

by Hardcore Legend on Jul 1, 2008 2:47 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I would love that

seriously, who could argue that mcrae > mcgwire? At least, as far as hitting goes?

But this year’s team’s approach has been excellent, imho. no idea who to attribute that to- schumaker worked with McGwire in the offseason, as did Duncan, and while the one of the two (that I would have bet on before the season) isn’t exactly tearing things up, the other one has been a minimum wage fukudome. I really haven’t seen anything I could hang on McRae, either way.

Tony LaRussa, Sparky Anderson, and Bobby Cox were great baseball players? Just because someone was good at something doesn’t mean they’d automactically be a good coach.
