Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.

1:55 start time
i thought this was thompson’s start??
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
TLR must just figure we'd concede the game against the soft-tossing lefty

Cubs fans are saying the same thing about today's game
Harden’s sucking right now, so might as well hang the L versus Carpenter on him.

yeesh
might as well concede that loss i guess

Monday off day
made it Carp’s regular start date and Carp will have a five days rest until his next start
haha great point
shouldn’t they switch it to Thompson now that the weather is a factor? I’d hate to blow carp’s start after 3 innings cause of a delay
Ah the old extra day of rest
always throws me off

For me, it boils down to
Whether or not they get their shit done.
Right now, I’m an intern with absolutely no work to do. I honestly have days where I browse the internet for 8 hours a day. When I DO have work to do, I get it done as quickly as possible
gotcha
they are kinda the same way here at work… as long as i get my crap done on time and done well then they don’t care when i come in or leave (as long as im here 40 per week) and they don’t look over my shoulder all the time

Not a bad lineup on Tony's part
I might like to see Duncan instead, but I mean, c’mon. They both suck
Yeah...
I mean they’re both automatic outs at this point, so you may as well play the one that can defend.
V, b.
Well, you could make the argument
That you’d rather have the one that actually has the ability to get on base
a .336 OBP is not an automatic out.
the truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark/ it scares you witless, but in time you see things clear and stark -- macmanus
2/3rds of an automatic out
make ya feel better ;)
a constitutional joke. well-done.

how about 4th best obp on our team from players w/ more than 50 PAs?

Yeah, in fairness that's probably about 5 or 10 points above average
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
I wish they were hitting after Yadi though
If Luddy fails to get it done after a Pujols IBB, it’s nice to have a Plan B on deck.
by Andyfantastic on Jul 10, 2009 2:49 PM EDT up reply actions
I agree...
But that would require tony bunching three right-handed hitters in a row, which would cause him to curl up in a ball and cry…

Al is gloating...
about getting DeRosa. Memo to Al: we gave up Chris Perez + more for a guy who might NEVER get a single hit with us.
I know I heard that....
“WE just couldn’t understand why YOU gave up on DeRosa but WE really like DeRosa.”
Like he’s in the front office or something.

Like he has any idea what he’s talking about even.
he seems to have a pretty good grasp about getting players back from injury

Cards at Wrigley
In the TLR era, the Cards are 41-61 in Chicago vs. the Cubs. I’d give that cause for concern.
1-2 this year
2-4 in 2008
3-4 in 2007
2-8 in 2006
3-5 in 2005
5-4 in 2004 – that was the last winning season in Chicago.
That being said, I’m predicting a 3-1 weekend going into the ASB this year.

not like that was predictable
Leadoff double and we score just one run, because the manager squandered his most valauble commodity.
Note to tony: If you let Colby actually bat, he might get a single. or a walk. In which case albert might have actually GOTTEN TO BAT IN THE FIRST INNING.

yes, we were, actually
before the bunt, run expectancy was 1.2ish. After the bunt, 0.983. So he lowered RE by almost a quarter of a run with the best hitters in the lineup coming up.

Used to be,
TLR had a “get ’im over” sign… not necessarily the bunt, but “pull it” for lefties, and “go the other way” for righties. Raz may have felt the best shot to move Skip to 3rd was the bunt.
But What Do I Know?

There are others, but these are some popular ones that have surfaced in the ‘stache contests in which I’ve participated.

Some are elusive. Or shaved them off.

Harden has such nasty stuff
I think he’s a FA this offseason…would you sign him and pray he can stay healthy?
No
He’d be too much of a risk. We’ve been lucky to have Carp as healthy as he is.

Considering he's NEVER stayed healthy...
and the Cardinals have poor luck with injuries as it is, I’d say no.

No
he’s a pitcher the A’s didn’t want… I’m a firm believer if the A’s don’t want a pitcher you don’t want him either.

If Rich Harden gets another hit
I’m jumping through my TV and punching someone.

Sucks...
I have to work at 5, I thought that with a 1:20 start and Carp on the mound I would be able to watch the game and have an hour+ to spare. Now, we don’t start until 1:55 and the wind is blowing out to right center…are you kidding me? Gah!
Carp can we get the pitcher out for Christ's sakes?
Dick and Dunk, the answer to your pitcher's problems...
he's gutting it out it seems
but if he can give us 5 or 6 innings tied then I’ll take it… but its disappointing for sure

ALBERT PUJOLS IS RIDICULOUS!

G.O.B. wanted me to get some work done today...
Every time I stop concentrating on the sticktv feed and do some work something good happens.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
KEEP WORKIN'!

You know what AnKiel is gonna do...
and it won’t be either one of those.
TLR: Please bench DunKan and AnKiel!
No
Throw it at his bat. He swings in the same spot every time. Just throw it at his bat so he can hit a homer.
Ogle Torp?

They've learned to pop it up a bit more
and get it into the wind.
And in response to Dan, yes Luddy should have been tagging because if that hits the wall, he scores anyway.

He should do something like that more often
even though it’s not really his style.
BTW - overflow is up

He was trying not to laugh
The nose hair is getting to him.
