Oh yeah

"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."

That comment wasn't directed at you

I didn’t want to reply to every person that decided to jump on the photo.

If people want to use it as an inflmmatory photo then it just shows their ignorance towards the subject.

If they follow the thread which started as “do some vaudevillian tricks with it” and was followed up with a couple vaudevillian actors they could’ve probably googled “vaudevillian” and completely understood.

I don’t mind. Now some people probably learned something new.

postseason.tv

is not worth the 10 bucks it cost to purchase. this choosing a camera idea is ridiculous. If you watch from CF, or anywhere else, you cant see anything other than the ball being hit.

eh, at least I can see the game… stupidnotv

C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!

OMG What Horrible Announcers

I have never seen such consistently horrible play-by-play. Not just this game, but every single postseason game to date. I don’t think there’s been an inning yet where at least one call was either missed or completely wrong information was conveyed. My favorite two today (so far):

  • Huston Street giving up a hit in the 9th on a pitch supposed to be inside that floated to the outside corner or the plate. The call? He hit a pretty good pitch up and in there…. A couple minutes later? Oh, no he didn’t.
  • Albert is walked intentionally and they say well, that’s the 45th this year which is a new record (as if 1. postseason stats were included in the regular season tallies; and 2. as if he wasn’t intentionally walked twice yesterday).

Pathetic.

franklin soiled himself on national tv

this is why i always hated franklin, you just knew he couldn’t be trusted. everyone except larussa knew his first half was a fluke. why in god’s name don’t u bring in smoltz in that situation? bye bye cards season. bye bye matt holliday as he will run as far away from st. louis as possible to distance himself from blowing a last out fly ball.

Worst Cardinal Loss Since When...Game 6 in '85?

Well…..you gotta figure now that Matt Holliday will no longer be a Cardinal after this post season. Ryan Franklin’s percentages caught up with him during the last month of the season. His closing days should mercifully be over as well.

Adios Matt Holliday

Hey Matt…..that’s why good fundamentals require an outfielder to use two hands. But you are just way too cool for that. How fuckin’ cool are you now Holliday?
