When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom

Not his fault
he is playing hurt. But SOP for the Cardinals is to run guys out there, regardless of how they are physically…
on the bright side
a couple more 0-4’s will really help Mo’s arbitration case.

Always remember; it could be worse
A new, attractive, second grade teacher starts at her new job in the Chicago area. To impress the children, she starts by saying ‘I like baseball, which of you also like baseball?’. Logically, all the little kids go: ‘me’, ‘me’, ‘me’. ‘And what’s more, I’m a Cubs fan. Who of you is a also Cubs fan?’. And again, all the kids go ‘me’, ‘me’, ‘me’. All but one. So she asks him: ’you’re not a Cubs fan?’. ‘No miss, I’m a Cardinals fan’. She asks ‘And why are you a Cardinals fan?’. ‘Well,’ he says, ‘my father is a Cards fan, my mother is a Cards fan, so I’m a Cards fan as well’. ‘Oh’, says the teacher, ‘so because your father is a Cardinals fan, and your mother is a Cardinals fan, you’re a Cardinals fan?’. ‘Yes, that’s right’, says the kid. ‘And what would have become of you if your father was dwindling gay and your mother was a smelt like elderberries?’. ‘Well’, says the kid, ‘then I would probably have been a Cubs fan to’.
Q: What do you call a hampster with three legs and a red bowtie?
A: The Cubs suck ass.

Cardinals must have thought that today was another off day
oops
When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom
no doubt
it looks like almost everyone took the night off.
how sad
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
hmmm
a single on a ground ball to SS Felipe Lopez.
My cable’s out, so I’m forced to be on gameday- was that as sinister as it looks?
"..and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped." -Sir Belvedere
no, diving stop but Braun beat it out
When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom
man, that looked like strike 3
why you squeezing PK blue?
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
Because the Cubs are better than the Brewers are.
nt
One day, the dream will come true.
lets hope 6 of 6
that’s just about our only hope at this point, unless we hope the brewers take 6 of 6 and we demolish the cubs in our upcoming time together.
"..and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped." -Sir Belvedere
they'll probably split
that would give the brewers 3 losses and hope for the cards.
One day, the dream will come true.
punch him in the face PK, you know you want to
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
who, Dunc?
When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom
yeah, that was supposed to be a joke
i guess i’m off my game tonight too

It has got to be hard to have the role that pk has considering he started in the rotation
and was never really that bad

good night all

Dude, I cannot get over how much of a fattass Fielder is
When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom
wow
When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom
I feel like I terrible fan
I left after the bottom of the 7th, fuming at Tony’s decision to keep Wellemeyer out there.
My girlfriend wanted to come home and go to bed, and I couldn’t think of a good reason to stay. Sigh.
we got an out!
woohoo!
And then Bill hall goes all untucked. Bleh.
I blame derrick goold for this game, btw. Home town press defending assholish behavior of the visiting team on the eve of the biggest series of the year?
"..and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped." -Sir Belvedere
I came into this series as a fan wanting a sweep
but ok with a split. The Brewers have a tough schedule ahead of them as well so we can come back. We will probably not do so. But we have a much better chance if we win tomorrow. Go Waino, Go Cards. Do not give up and keep on chugging. Hell maybe we have a ten game win streak in us or something

Unfortunately
It simply isn’t true that the Brewers have a tough schedule ahead of them.
From a Cardinal’s perspective, this could be especially true, because the Cubs may have nothing to play for in the final series.
Plus, if there is anyone you can score 13 runs off of it is Gagne
When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom
good start
When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom
History
we got this bitches
When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom
guess it is not going to happen
Tomorrow guys. Get them tomorrow
When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom
second ugliest loss of the year
never forget about TESS
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
Never Forget. We Will Never Forget.
In the world I see--you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty carpool lane of some abandoned superhighway.

Most important game of the year
and we get beat down 12-0?
I really, really want to punch Hrbosky in the face. I wish Dan would just flat out say to him, ‘Stop crapping on my salad and telling me it’s a rainbow!’
It must be nice to be a retired athlete. In his world, it’s all rainbows, moonbeams and honeydew.

Holy Crap!
as Frank Barone would say
I left my usual perch in front of the laptop to watch a movie with my wife
I come back and instead of 3-0, it’s 12-0 Brewers
Holy Crap
My first memory of Cardinals baseball is seeing Darrell Porter jump into Bruce Sutter's arms on October 20, 1982!
watching a moive sounds like a good idea
the unrated version of Anchorman should do the trick.
night all. tomorrow has to be a better day.
right?

There are a lot of games left to play
and I haven’t given up hope
but doesn’t this feel like the end?

Tony La Russa's theme music for this season
“My Way” by Frank Sinatra
And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
I’ve lived a life that’s full
I traveled each and ev’ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried
I’ve had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
“Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way”
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!

"Just because nobody understands you doesn't make you an artist."
Those expecting a Rasmus call-up in Sept, won't like this.
From the Matthew Leach article on MLB.com.
“He hasn’t been playing,” La Russa said. “We haven’t had the meeting officially, but I just don’t think [he will be called up]. He hasn’t earned it. Injuries are injuries, but you can’t reward somebody because of it.”
I hate the "he hasn't earned it line."
If it was about earning things, they would have put him in the OF after Spring Training. I get there are other baseball decisions but TLR is full of crap when he talks about earning things.
Too bad he can't just say
that it is a monetary decision. Don’t think that quote would go over any better though…. He isn’t being called up because any money paid to him and any out of pocket costs for him comes right out of the annual profits. The front office’s bonus would be directly impacted and we can’t have that….
I don't get why people still complain about Rasmus not making the roster out of ST
It was stated publicly and was a well-known fact that he was going to start the season at AAA. There was always a possibility that he’d get a call around September (maybe sooner if the team was in the cellar), but his poor start coupled with his knee injury took that possibility away. It’s not the end of the world.
In the world I see--you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty carpool lane of some abandoned superhighway.
Man I always forget who PK is
I check box scores and I’m still puzzled. Then I FINALLY remember. Heh.
Well the game sucked
but at least Jay Mariotti quit. Can’t win ’em all.

I can’t use the reply button at work (not sure why) so I’m replying down here.
To quote TLR in Spring Training (2/29): “If spring training ended tomorrow,” Tony La Russa said, grinning, “he’d have a hell of a shot.”
Or this one: “La Russa said aptitude at leadoff might decide the derby in the outfield, or score a spot in the middle infield. If everything else is a tie, the hitter who excels atop the order wins.”
I don’t have a problem that they started him in Memphis. I’d prefer that they call him up in September but I’m not heartbroken about it (although I’d say they’re mishandling another prospect). But their answers about the situation don’t make sense to me and seem to be counter to previous statements. Rasmus in ST may have been ticketed for Memphis early, but that was never the public remarks.
I agree that the comment "he hasn't earned it" is odd
But he hasn’t. Now, personally, I wouldn’t have said a word about it if it were me. If asked, I’d simply say that the timing is bad due to the injury or whatever.
As for the spring training comments. I’m not sure who it was, but somebody said it. Might have been a beat reporter or someone, but I know I heard it. Also, I think it’d be hard to say that any of us felt his time would have been better spent at St. Louis than at Memphis. He didn’t exactly tear the cover off the ball, so the decision was justified. Also, I think some miss the boat on what the “criteria” might be to determine who won a position battle. I don’t think i’ve ever heard LaRussa say it will come down to the stats. You and I both know that manager or coach looks at a lot more than stats. It also depends on what the role is and personally I feel Skip was a better fit for the role than Rasmus was. Where would Rasmus hit in the lineup? Well, the spot Skip holds primarily is leadoff. I really wouldn’t want to stick Rasmus at lead off sink or swim.
Look, the guy just turned 22 years old and put up a line of .251, .346, .396 at AAA and just missed a month with a knee injury. There’s no rush to get him on the roster right now.
In the world I see--you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower.
