So much for my thinking
Rasmus has no power (although 2 HRs still isn’t a lot, how it left the stadium was) and was just a slightly better Skip
The shine on Thurston is starting to wear off

I fell right into the trap
any player who sprints to first on a walk is clearly too good to be true
I'm on it
but he’s not swinging well now, so why the heck play him every day when you have an option.
I’m still on it.

Jeebus! Thurston that was a sad swing
Future Redbirds - tracking Cardinal prospects for Cardinal Nation
I think he swung after the ball was already caught by the catcher
it was bizarre.
Future Redbirds - tracking Cardinal prospects for Cardinal Nation
he could have started his swing when the pitch was released
and not crossed the plate till the ball was in the mit…his swing is that long
So did Carp
/too soon?

TLR can use a reliever for two innings in this game
but needs 4 to go 4 innings in a 6 run differential. I’m confused.

I predicted that Kmac would get Nyjer Morgan out and then I took it back when he walked him but I should not have done that. CUS he just did get him out. So I was right the first time! SWEEEET!

Ah, but that's the thing
What would you say the male:female ratio is for viewership of the average baseball game? Let’s be conservative and say 60:40. The ads are targeting men because that’s what men are watching. Does the Padma commercial see any air time during Grey’s or Gilmore Girls? I wouldn’t know. Maybe there’s a “hot guy” commercial playing during those shows.
P.S. – Your husband is totally lucky to have found a wife who’s into baseball.

My daughter, who is 11
Once made me watch a Dane Cook special. Not having a clue who the hell Dan Cook was, I sat down and watched it. She laughed the first F-word she heard. I told her to leave the room and continued watching it myself. Five seconds later I was right behind her, saying the following two things:
1. You are too young for this stuff.
2. Dane Cook is criminally not funny. I’m actually more mad at you for watching bad crude comedy specials than just any crude comedy special.
She told me he was “Hilarious LOlz” and that he was “Hawt!” Fuck my life.

I'm torn on him....
My brother introduced me to his “Retaliation” CD and I thought he was pretty funny, so I had high hopes.
Since then I’ve watched every special I’ve had a chance to see and have found each one to be incredibly dull and I tend to change the channel after about 10 minutes.
And those 10 minutes are simply because I keep hoping it’ll be as good as “Retaliation” was.
So I guess in my mind, Dane Cook is a comedy one-hit wonder.
A cringe
Followed by finding a mirror, staring into, and wondering if it would be worth it to be Larry King’s old crusty ass.
Then I realize that I’m not 10,000 and decide it’s okay.
Yes, I would think all of that. You have absolutely no idea how crazy I really am.

I didn't see any of the game, except for one highlight...
And I’ve just got to say that Colby JACKED that homer. That’s two balls that he’s gotten all of this year, now.
This team is terrible and has no hope of playing competitive baseball this year
The defense is awful, the offense can’t ever score any runs. All this hype on Rasmus what’s he done? Minor league power my ass, he’s a AAAA player. The bullpen couldn’t hold a lead to save its life, well maybe it could if the defense didn’t suck so much. When are we going to trade Schumaker what in hell is he good for?!? This ownership group doesn’t care about winning, Moz is just a dork they hired to be their puppet boy. We’ll be in last place in 24 hours.
Wait, wrong day?

Quite a logjam at the top of the NL Central
Having four teams within 0.5 games of each other 1/5 way through the season is one thing; having them all be .588 or better is another. The Cards, Brewers, Reds, and Cubs would all be leading or tied for the lead in each division but the AL East and NL West. The NL Central has half of the eight 20+ win teams in baseball right now, and two of the other four (Toronto and the Dodgers) have played more games than our four. We also have the best last place team by record except for the A’s, who are at the bottom of the teensy-weensy four-team AL West.
Best division in baseball? No, to my mind that’s still pretty clearly the AL East. But we’re number two. WE’RE NUMBER TWO!! WE’RE NUMBER TWO!!
by BTown Birds fan on May 14, 2009 11:31 PM EDT reply actions
AL East?
The AL East has two teams over .500, one at .500, and two below .500.
The NL Central has four above .500 and two below .500.
Let’s look at it this way:
AL East – 7 games over with 5 teams – avg. = 1.4 games over
AL Central – 6 games under with 5 teams – avg = 1.2 games under
AL West – 1 game over with 4 teams – avg. = .25 games over
NL East – 7 games under with 5 teams – avg. = 1.4 games under
NL Central – 18 games over with 6 teams – avg. = 3 games over
NL West – 9 games under with 5 teams – avg. 1.8 games under
I’d say that the NL Central has been, by far, the best division this year.
Yes, this year so far
but it’s pretty clear that the AL East is a much tougher division.

How so? Really?
4 of the teams in the NL Central are currently on win streaks of two or more games, while the other two just finished up playing each other.
The AL East has one team on a win streak of two or more and two on losing streaks of two or more.
The AL East has three teams with more runs scored than against, thus making an above .500 Pythagorean win percentage.
The NL Central has 4 such teams, with another only 4 runs under, giving them a .500 Pythag.
You can't just look at this seasons performance
Boston, New York and Tamba Bay are all arguably better than any team in the NL Central in terms of true talent level.

Just looking at overall records isn't an ideal way to do it,
because it doesn’t take into account who they’re playing. Just by the numbers in your post one would conclude that the AL West is far better than the NL East (the average over/under difference between those two divisions is actually larger than between the AL East and NL Central). Obviously the Nats bring the NL East down, but overall I don’t know too many people who would call the AL West better at all, let alone far better, than the NL East.

Great threads, CN. Power was out in a storm, so I leave it to you to recreate the game.
Power unaffected in the dismal losses – naturally. Can the moderators give an award for the best post per game? Maybe toss in the winners and have a weekly drawing for merchandise or some such.
