I'd like to show you something in the basement...

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

hypothetical

Let’s say Carp wins the Cy Young.

Is it a win for the statheads b/c (for once) the voters don’t just look at Ks and Wins?

I feel like the sentiment in Cardinals nation is that Adam wins the award if he wins tonight. But I’m not sure the rest of the country reflects that thinking.

Updated Elias Rankings...

DeRosa…Type A
Glaus…Type B
Pineiro…Type B
Holliday…Type A

Ankiel is outside of Type B status. DeRosa is toeing the line between Type A and Type B, as is Pineiro (but he’s on the other side).

by Ghostrider520 on Oct 2, 2009 7:58 PM EDT reply actions  

Olney today said

That he surveyed a bunch of GMs who think DeRo gets offered Arb and it would be difficult for him to go anywhere. He is 35 hurt and looking at about $7 mil per year. He will probably accept.

I’m okay with that, but I think we should be prepared for that possibility. I think you offer DeRo, Holliday and Pineiro arb.

Different market last year

I think you will see more acceptances unless the agents feel it has turned.

I never use ground beef in my chilli

I normally sear Pork Country Ribs and Cut up Chuck Roast in a dutch oven. Add chicken stock and an excellent dark Belgium beer. Add some secret spices than cook that it in an oven for awhile. Than add some veggies to finish off on the stove.

I have won a few cook offs with that recipe. I cook my chili similar to stew.

It seems like Looper is the rare exception to the rules of the Duncan Reclamation Project.

Upon leaving the Cardinals, Looper has not completely forgotten how to pitch.

No country has ever made money on the Olympics

Way too much money is needed to develop one city.

That’s the nice part about the World Cup. We don’t really need to do anything. We have plenty of large stadiums in place all over the country all ready. Plus we can easily accommodate large influxes of people in our large cities for such events.

It’s like 20+ uber sized Super Bowls being played one after another. Culminating in an event where the world stops.

Also not true.

The US has gotten some fantastic ratings for soccer games.

ESPN as a result has gotten into the act and is purchasing tv rights for various leagues in Europe.

Plus most every US game is on ESPN now. And they will get every World Cup because it makes plenty of money for them.

I dont' know about that.

International soccer is really starting to catch on here. The MLS is awful and will be treated as such until they can handle the responsibility of being a real professional league.

It's not awful

It is what it is. A developing league that larger leagues/teams can buy young talent from.

But compared to the other professional leagues here

being the top in the world… no one wants to watch effectively AA soccer under the guise of great soccer.

Lots of people watch AA baseball.

And no one is saying it’s the best league in the world. Or one of the best leagues in the world.

I’d place the league more at AAA level than I would AA. But the point remains the same.

by BirdsonFire on Oct 2, 2009 8:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

I understand that.

I’m just saying in general we’ve been spoiled to have the best players in the world here. So when our only league is a feeder league it’s not going to please the masses. The hardcore soccer fans will be on board with it, but it will probably never get a lot of casual fans

"The Cards lead this game tied 1-1." -Mike Shannon

I dunno.

It’s only gotta please enough people to survive.

And with the number of stadiums recently constructed or being constructed, there is plenty of interest. And the league isn’t going anywhere.

Soccer Stadiums: Chicago’s Toyota Park, Salt Lake City’s Rio Tinto Stadium, Columbus Crew Stadium, Philadelphia (Chester), NY Red Bull Park (Harrison, NJ), Dallas’ Pizza Hut Park, Colorado’s Dick Sporting Goods Park, LA’s Home Depot Center.

And I believe KC isn’t long for beginning construction. Not to mention the stadium in Toronto, BMO Field.

It looks hilarious and is getting great reviews. Plus Woody Harrelson.

I don't like zombies.

And blood and guts flying all over the place and I would probably have nightmares since zombies are in it. And I get the impression that they pop out of nowhere and that frightens me.
