The kid is a good baseball player.
There's no "I" in team. There's also no "I" in "B-g Mac Land".

whoa, whoa, whoa
your wife lets you have a room that’s not the garage or a shed???
how did you swing that?
I've always told my husband
that as soon as we live somewhere large enough, he can have his own man room. We’re not there yet, though I imagine it will have tanks with snakes and other exotic animals, a car-related pin-up calendar, some sports stuff, and a work table with weird projects and tools everywhere. And of course, a TV and video game set up.

I'm going to say something here
that I never thought I’d say:
I think I like the serious number song.
I hated the ever loving shit out of it when it debuted on the big screen at Opening Day, and had been thoroughly annoyed by it all of April. By the end of May, I didn;t mind it anymore and would even get a smirk from me when it randomly came in the car during a commercial break.
Today, while driving home from a lunch trip to the deli, I found myself nodding along to it. By July, hell, this thing may wind up on a mix CD.

Yup. That was a fun list.
Cardinals were the Beach Boys. Wholesome on the outside, hidden tragic darkness on the inside. More innovative and important than many give them credit for.
My favorite was Houston Astros = ZZ Top. Both from Texas, both been around longer than you’d think. Both involve important B words—Biggio, Berkman, Bagwell, beards.

I am pretty sure I had that CD. I’m pretty certain I didn’t buy it though; I think it was one of those featured CDs from BMG/Columbia House CD club where I didn’t mail back the card in time or something. Needless to say, the rest of the CD, pretty much crap, IIRC.
And it's
“You’re never gonna keep me down.” Just saying, is all.

mun-chow-sun (trying to sound it out) syndrome or something similar to that?
How did the pig corner the breakfast market?
Munchausen Syndrome
is when you make your kids sick so you can continually take care of them and keep them in the house. I think Eminem’s mom had it and is a major source for his dis-liking of her.
Check that: Munchausen is when you make fake a disease or injury to garner attention or sympathy and Munchausen by proxy is when you do it to another person usually a child.

Bizarre managerial decisions
Putting in Skip to bat instead of Duncan only to NOT have Skippy bunt LaRue over.
Then use Duncan to hit after Skip, who gets the flyball that would have scored a run had Skip moved LaRue over.
Not sending Colby Rasmus at all last inning. Sending him against a pitcher with control problems would have given us a runner in scoring position who would have scored on either LaRue’s single or Skip’s groundout.

Franklin is on 23 pitches now....
which, if I’m not mistaken, is quite a few for a reliever.
I get that “he needs to get in some work,” but I don’t know that we have to cram it all in right now.
are you rooting for him to fail?
because it sure sounds like it.
why not just enjoy it while it lasts???

Regression to the Mean
should only show its pretty face for the offense, not the closer? OK? thanks!
The with closers is
They make relatively few appearances, which means that a low BABIP might be sustainable over the course of a year. Not so much for a starter that throws 200 innings, but for 70 innings? Why not?
I've wondered about this before
Is it sometimes a decent gamble to depend on luck? Relief pitchers in general see a lot of fluctuation year to year anyway.
There's no "I" in team. There's also no "I" in "B-g Mac Land".
See, the thing is,
in such a small sample size, it is possible for an unsustainable trend to maintain, simply because there isn’t enough time for it to regress. The problem is, do you really want to be the guy betting that every single night for the rest of the year isn’t the night things fall apart?

Them taking it to the Brewers make me feel slightly less horrible about the grade A ass whooping they laid on us.

I totally forgot about that
last time we played the Indians was during that 8 game losing streak in 06? and seat cushions went flying.

I was at that game.
We were walking around when the seat cushion exodus began.

If you get a chance you have to see Michael Bourn’s catch on Tal’s Hill against the Cubs.
He started backpedling and once he hit the hill he fell on his ass. Stuck his glove in the air and made the catch laying on his back.
Awesome.

And it looks like he finally cracked
The .800 OPS barrier to be exact
With that being said he is now currently 2nd in the team in OPS.
With all the talk about him not playing enough. He currently leads the NL in AB’s by a rookie.

Considering how much better he is than every other rookie,
I think even proximity to the pack is a bit insulting.

Decrease winning? Never seen that proven.

He’s just awesome.
Any chance we start Blake Hawksworth on Saturday? I’m not thrilled about Wonderbrad in any role other than mop-up.
Guys like Bradley are exactly why we can't have a pumpkin patch anymore.
I'm not sure why Boggs isn't back up
He’s better than our current #4 & #5 starters, and I’d listen to an argument that he’s better than our #3.
"I usually don’t read other peoples sigs." -Cuttah
For what it's worth
it’d be Boggs turn tomorrow. Tonight’s Memphis starter is TBD as of now, but it should be Ottavino if they stick to their rotation.

Khalil Green update
From the Commercial Appeal:
Greene, who had 27 homers and 97 RBI for the Padres in 2007, didn’t want to discuss specifics of his treatment, but said he spent the past two weeks talking with professionals, exploring all his options, “and trying to start being proactive about this.”
He said he wants to get to a point “where I can put into words what I’m feeling, so I can deal with things as they come up.”
Down the road he hopes “I can put them into words well enough that I can perhaps help someone else who is going through the same thing.”
Sounds to me like his head’s in a surprisingly good place. He didn’t start tonight, and the article mentions that Maloney deflected any criticism of Greene’s two errors in his last game pretty deftly.
Really pulling for Khalil.
Guys like Bradley are exactly why we can't have a pumpkin patch anymore.
I hope Greene overcomes his anxiety issues and can control them
for the rest of his life. However, I don’t want to see him playing for the Cardinals again this year. We’ve got 2 SS who are better than he is and both project to be on the roster next year.

if he can hit to his potential
why not?
but that “if” is a big one. personally i really don’t think he can. call me a negative nancy. and an indecisive, uh, indian.
R.P.O.F.Y.M.
actually, even hitting to his potential
he won’t be more valuable than Brendan Ryan, going forward, if BR keeps playing such amazing defense and hitting near league-average.

If he can hit like 2007,
he can replace Barden and free that roster spot up for an OF.

I think Joe Mather might be close to replacing Barden.

I agree with you 100%
I wish him the best in life and in finding a new job but I’m more than pleased with Ryan and T Greene.

Indinans beat KC in 10. I was hoping that the game would go about 19. Not exactly thrilled about our upcoming rotation.
Pinata, Wonderbrad and . . . . ?

Oh my. just saw the final highlight of that game.
The Indians hitter was up and hit the ball up the middle where a bunch of Sea Gulls were sitting. Not only do all the birds automatically take off and completely distract Crisp, but one of the birds actually makes contact with the ball knocking it away from Crisp making it completely impossible for him to make a play. And he would have had a play on DeRosa at the plate.

But won't you still get it on local TV?

Yeah...
I’m not sure what I was thinking. I mean I knew it would be on local TV, but I was thinking about those on here that don’t have cable and usually just follow on Gameday. But I guess if they don’t have cable, they wouldn’t have MLB Network anyway. So basically I’m a moron.
I’m actually glad it’s on MLB Network since I’m now outside of the Cardinal’s territory and my crappy computer hampers my MLB.TV viewing…

Those that follow on gameday
are usually at work or otherwise unable to watch (wife has tv remote :))

That mlb.tv boat is what I'm in too.
Although, I think I’ve got the ‘ol computer working okay right now…..you just never know and don’t want to take anything for granted.
FWIW, I really like mlb.tv. It has it’s bugs but ultimately I get what I pay for in that I get to watch every (well, real close to every) Cards game all year. But, it is nice when the Cards play on one of the national networks (or against the cubbies since I live in that market). Nothing beats watching the boys in HD even when they can’t hit.

It worked a lot better for me when it was on the Windows Media platform...
Because that Flash player really puts a a lot of stress on your system, and I don’t have very much RAM. So basically after about 20 minutes of perfectly smooth video it always starts to get sort of choppy. I don’t lose the feed, but it’s a lot like the disaster that was the Silverlight player from last season. But it’s better than nothing and I’m getting a new computer soon, so I just need to hold on…
