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."

Can’t blame him. Probably don’t want to throw the ball within ten feet of Albert when he’s holding a bat.
Those are strikes when Albert is dangling the bat right?

Do people here even know what the Theatre Owners Booking Association was?
Sammie Russell is a well known actor from the Black vaudevillian era.
Before people tell me uncool, or cry and complain. Know what you’re talking about.
Not so much this as where things like this lead.
Dude, I made a two word comment.
And if you really want to share a potentially inflammatory photo, perhaps you could’ve linked to some information about the guy rather than expect everyone to know everything that you do.
"I’m going to come after you." - Chris Carpenter
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.
On with the game!
Who the hell wants to Google vaudevillian during a playoff game?
Regular game, maybe. The game threads are reactionary, even more so in the playoffs.

No, that would be Jon Miller and Joe Morgan

I have absolutely no confidence in these situations
change my mind boog
"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."

Good lord.
I’m normally a really optimistic person but man…I’m not sure they’re going to score another run tonight.
this is a reoccurring nightmare

i have to say, i'm a lot happier to be rooting for the team with 5 hits and a walk
than the team with one hit. even if the score is tied.

I think it was affecting the team.

If you got it pregnant...
it may not be as sexy in a few months… and then later it would have to go away for maternity leave. I don’t know that I approve.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
it only gets hotter when pregnant.
and it’s taking a hiatus for a few months soon, anyway.

Games start back then. Unless curve balls have a different gestation period.

Can we elevate Wainwright to ridiculous status?

Pujols will hit a double in the next at bat
holliday will single, ludwick will walk, and yadi will GIDP, but dero will pick up an RBI anyways

Nice inning of work. Pujols-Holliday-Ludwick coming up. Let’s do this thing.
i wouldn't mind a little glaus now.

I'm not a big fan of Glaus right now
I’m still confused as to why he had surgery when he did, and I just don’t like him being on the playoff roster after missing so many games.
2009 NL CENTRAL CHAMPIONS!
not a big derosa fan right now.

Anybody want an overflow thread?
I created a game thread fanpost because it was almost first pitch and there wasn’t a game thread yet. It’s just sitting over there, all lonely, with just a hilarious comment from boog. Link here

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!
I'm in the same boat.

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.
you've really got to be fucking kidding me.
"The outfield is deep and playing him straight-away, and the infield is the same, except first, second, third, and short are playing him to pull."

Thanks Tony
thanks for taking out Wainer you fucking overthinking overmanaging fucking fuckwad fuckhead.
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.
merkle's boner
merkle had his famous “boner” what are they gonna call holidays misplay?
holiday nutmeg?
when does RB Fallstrom get inducted to the hall of fame?
toast, no chicken this year
hate to say it, but bernie (and others) were right
they are who they were the last month
would you pay holliday $20M?

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?
