by AWolfAtTheDoor on Jul 13, 2009 9:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

Death Proof...

… is Tarantino’s half of Grindhouse. the other half was done by Robert Rodriguez. Rodriguez also did 95% of Sin City; Tarantino only directed one scene.

Kill Bill 2 should not be considered separately from KB1; Tarantino made them as one film but the studio didn’t want to release a 4 hour movie so his split them up. either way KB2 is a fine movie.

Albert's normal stance

Is getting into position… then at least twice coiling and uncoiling all his muscles before settling. It takes time. The uncoiling when he hits is where all his power comes out.

He’s not taking the time tonight to coil up into his usual stance. The pitcher’s pretty much not letting him. He’s making contact but there’s not enough power.

This Derby (minus Albert) has been fairly boring. I’d be happy to see the NL win tomorrow.

The St. Louis Cardinals have the Not-So-Fab Five: Wellemeyer, Thurston, Ankiel, Duncan and Thompson.

The more I think about it

the more I believe that Albert won’t be too affected by the Derby.

silver lining

Albert discovers he hates dealing with intrusive media.

Crosses out all the large-market teams from his possibilities.

Albert looked tired.....

Really wish he could have teaken the entire week off and rested.

they keep calling cruz a younger guy

isn’t he the oldest in the derby

Nelson Cruz has got this.

I’m not worried about Princess Fielder.

He’ll get the meat (tofu?) sweats and pass out.

I hope this is Pujols last Derby appearance.

He mashes major-league pitching.

He doesn’t have a rhythm and swing to hit HR after HR like this.

Even the HRs he was hitting were barely getting out (aside from 1 or 2).
