So, a pretty good outing for Wainwright, and K. Greene is already making his mark in St. Louis.
Brendan Ryan should not be hitting lead-off.
Albert is The Mang.
Main post up over 700 comments. Figured it was time for an overflow thread.

Present.
Why can’t we get Maholm out?
[Homer shows Bart "Wonderbat".]
Bart: Wow. How many home runs you gonna hit with that thing?
Homer: Let's see... We play thirty games. Ten at-bats a game. Mm...three thousand.

no offense to Barden,
but here’s to hoping Mather gets it figured out soon.
"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."

"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."
