Anyone? Hello????
Flim, I guess no one knows….
I have a very, umm...photographic brain. A lot like Ansel Adams but in color and with a lot more, uh.....insertion and pubic hair.
PJ Walters was one of the greatest control pitcher the Cardinals
system had ever seen. Seriously. He was awesome.
He gets called up to St. Louis, they tell him to ditch the changeup and…..
He can’t throw strikes anymore. Last time he went back to Memphis? Awful.
Tonight? 7 walks.

is it bad that i can't wait to see dan, red or chuck work "thumba" into a title?

I feel bad for you guys that actually get to watch

eric karros is doing the game tomorrow
someone please note how many times he bashes the Cards

Two things
first I thought we all agreed that we wouldn’t mention his name again
second I’m so incredibly happy I’ll be away from a TV so I don’t have to suffer through that.
You're part of the solution
Although I’ve taken to calling him “the color man who shall not be named”
I DIDN'T GET THE MEMO
chitown. isn’t he in charge of all memo’s?
It kind of sounds like he’s [Duncan] just running around like a puppy out there – full speed ahead in random directions. – BTown Birds Fan
but calling him a color man
indicates that he provides “color” (to be construed as valuable insight) to a broadcast
sorry, i didn't get the memo
i’ll remember that from now on though
my part of ohio gets tigers & brew crew. that is, if the twisters don’t get us first. so that’s why i said something.

Horrible, biased broadcaster warning
KC announcers just said he’ll be doing the national broadcast tomorrow.
Home-plate ump seems to have gone to a
“Let’s get this thing over with and go home” strike zone.
Don't they get graded on consistency for post-season qualification?

Goold seems to think
that he’s a much better OF than 1B.
Guys like Bradley are exactly why we can't have a pumpkin patch anymore.
Zone ratings actually had Dunc looking good at 1B in past years.
No idea whether that has gone downhill this year.

I think I see the plan here.
Pornstache bats for PK and stays in the game to catch. Yadi moves to 1st, Dunc out. Pitcher then hits in Dunc’s spot — but probably never gets around in the order.
Pulling AP wasn’t as weird as it looked.
yes it was

Did that look intentional? What about the other ab when he got hit? Is this series gonna get ugly?
So I just got here
Can I safely assume we’ve entered some sort of bizarro dimension where up is down and the Cards’ offense is tremendous?
There's no "I" in team. There's also no "I" in "B-g Mac Land".

Are you an adolescent or something?
I’m trying to remember the last time you offered input that wasn’t just annoying and contrarian. I can’t.
The only time you show up in threads is to a) act like an asshole or b) point out some anecdotal case where you think it makes you right.
Unsurprisingly, given that your positions are wrong so often, you aren’t in many game threads.
Future Redbirds - tracking Cardinal prospects for Cardinal Nation
That if funny....
I’m right WAY more often then I’m wrong.
I’ve been right about Thompson. Looks like a good start to me being right about K. Greene.
I just find it funny that you can sit around and bash TLR all day, but you think that I don’t add anything to the site to come to his defense. Pot. Kettle. Difference is, I’m not in every game thread, every night, making MULTIPLE assanine comments about our teams’ coaches and management.
So yea.

I’m not going to engage in this tit-for-tat with you.
If you continue to be unnecessarily antagonistic as a commenter, you’ll be banned. I’m tired of dealing with the fights you start.
Future Redbirds - tracking Cardinal prospects for Cardinal Nation
Then maybe YOU
should stop engaging in them. I’m allowed to disagree with you, as long as I do it within the rules of the forum. YOU don’t agree with me. HL doesn’t agree with me. Fine. Doesn’t mean I’m wrong. Doesn’t mean I can’t voice my opinion.
Say you were standing with one foot in the oven and one foot in an ice bucket. According to the percentage people, you should be perfectly comfortable." - Manager Bobby Bragan
Seriously?
You sought him out in a game thread and picked a fight. You just want to rub his face in “it,” whatever “it” is at the moment.

You're first comment wasn't disagrrement,
It wasn’t voicing an opinion. It’s questionable under the first two points of the Guidelines:
1) Follow the Golden Rule of blog posting
2) When you have a difference of opinion with another member of the community: attack the opinion, not the person
I’m tired of dealing with the childish antics. You bring the same situation to this board that nycardfan did. That poster routinely disagreed with LBoros and many other posters. That was never the issue. The issue was that she was routinely confrontational, rude, inconsistent and arguing for the sake of arguing. You bring the same thing to the table.
You’ve reached a point where a 5 second search here would allow me to find comments you can’t hid behind the guidelines. Consider this your warning.
Future Redbirds - tracking Cardinal prospects for Cardinal Nation
Remember that the next time YOU
make a snarky comment to me. Or HL does. Or any of the other handful of posters that like to show up and attack ME, and not my opinion. If what I’ve done is wrong on occassion, the same applies to you.

It’s not.

Soooo... What's with Albert Pujols? With all the times that Schu & Raz were on base he should have had more than 2 RBIs.
ALBERT PUJOLS IS RIDICULOUS

I have a very, umm...photographic brain. A lot like Ansel Adams but in color and with a lot more, uh.....insertion and pubic hair.
Vote for Colby?
Maybe we should get this campaign started. Because of his blistering June, Colby Rasmus now ranks 15th in the NL OF in OPS and 13th in BA, both of which are rising fast.
Another week or two of this and we may be kicking ourselves for not getting our NL Rookie of the Year on the All-Star team.
by Hardcore Legend on Jun 20, 2009 3:43 AM EDT reply actions
I know I am.
I’ve already voted my 25 times and am disappointed I didn’t vote for Colby. Usually, I wait long enough to see who shakes out and I feel pretty confident about my selections, but I didn’t see this coming. Hopefully, with LaRussa as one of the coaches he’ll lobby to get Colby added as a reserv…………wait……..who am I kidding?

TLR’s gonna stop using him.
So now that the dust has settled, hours later
is there any news of Greene’s foot? Or why Pujols was lifted? Was the Pujols move just routine, giving him a short day at the office?
