will hopefully not do too well on zero night’s rest.

Driving north
on Morganford from Gravois, I saw the perfect double billboard for you: Pepsi on top, Colt 45 on the bottom.

Dublin Dr Pepper
To start off off-topic, did anyone venture out to find Dublin Dr Pepper today after it was discussed in yesterday’s open game thread?
Went to Straub’s for the first time ever and bought 4. $1.79 each…they taste good, sweeter, a bit more flavorful, but they lack the crisp bite that regular Dr Pepper possesses, so based on price and availability, I’m gonna have to stick with the norm.
What do you mean yesterdays thread? That was today. I rember because Cain was pitching....
"Rasmus doesn't hit lefties. Instead he bashes them over the head with their own bleeding arm he just raced to the mound to rip off before the ball arrives to the plate. He then smashes that baseball with the pitchers bloody arm over the wall because he does not hit lefites he bashes them." Ted Lilly
i ordered some offline from their site early this morning
should be here sometime next week. damn shipping was more than the 20 pack. ridiculous.
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
Weird dream last night....
I had a dream in which Wellemeyer was the PTBNL in the DeRosa trade…
I believe this is why they are called dreams.
Dick and Dunk, the answer to your pitcher's problems...
FSN Poll
Should brett wallace be called up?
Text “brett” A (yes) or B (no) to 432432
So who with unlimited texting can send B about 500 times in a row?
2/3rds yes right now
He's heating up...
just in time for the trade deadline. I say ship him out for an ace. Package him up and get Haren, Halladay, or King Felix.
He won’t be another Barton… He’ll hit. But there won’t a be a place for him to play. We’ve got a historic season by Pujols going. Carp and Wainwright are seemingly healthy. Time to go for 90 wins and another pennant.
i like you man, but your crazy
we need runs. i know, i know. pitching wins championships. but this O can’t make it to the playoffs, let alone win a ring. let him stay down for another month, and if he’s still mashing, bring the kid up & put him at 3rd.
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

good god
this Hayes/Hrabosky debate is painful…its not exactly Chomsky vs. William F. Buckley, Jr.
By the way…the credited response is NO, don’t bring him up now
by the way, Al
here’s a small debating tip: Don’t start your argument off with any variation of “I may have no idea what I’m talking about, but…”
he should always start off saying that

I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
i'm a big fan
of this rhetorical technique.
It says both: ‘I am ignorant and I’m not going to let it bother me.’
If it means going against what Al says,
then bring him up.
How did the pig corner the breakfast market?
We really do have some bad luck.
I mean Cain twice in a row! Sheesh!
Can’t we catch a break?
"Rasmus doesn't hit lefties. Instead he bashes them over the head with their own bleeding arm he just raced to the mound to rip off before the ball arrives to the plate. He then smashes that baseball with the pitchers bloody arm over the wall because he does not hit lefites he bashes them." Ted Lilly
its weird that chuck says cain shut us down earlier this season
is he talking about last night
"Albert hits good pitches hard and bad pitches even harder. And when he gets in the batter's box, if you pray, then you start praying. And if you don't pray, you think about starting."--Brian Bannister
I guess that would count as earlier.
"Rasmus doesn't hit lefties. Instead he bashes them over the head with their own bleeding arm he just raced to the mound to rip off before the ball arrives to the plate. He then smashes that baseball with the pitchers bloody arm over the wall because he does not hit lefites he bashes them." Ted Lilly
can you imagine playing them in the wild card round
with Lincecum winning the first game, then Cain the next two?

"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear." - THT
So Razzle batting 9th...
Is it just more or does that have TLR wanting to take him out of the lineup but didnt’ want to get killed in the media for doing it the day after a walk off?
Rasmus in dgoold video interview
Said he’s up there to hit the ball, not try to walk (when batting 2nd in front of Pujols)
Tony probably puts him 9th to show him he needs to get on base.
hey he in there, that's all that matters
and no thurston!
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

key to beating Zito
opposite field?
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
I remember when Pujols looked ready for every pitch, even in an IBB
Now he just looks bored with these walks..
"The two most important things in life: good friends and a strong bullpen." - Gibson
at least he doesnt do that bonds
swing thing…if i was an ump i would have called it
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
He had the bat
over the plate once recently. I was shocked the ump didn’t call it.
"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
On the fourth ball in that at bat
He was walking to first base before Molina caught the ball. Not that I blame him, just be careful out there Alberto.

dated a few
but just for the cookies
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
untrue
He only eats his mom’s cookies.
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear." - THT
I don't
think Yadi’s ever turned down a cookie.
"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
also untrue
When he started his weight program a couple of years back, he had to refuse his mother’s cooking. Reportedly the hardest part of the program.
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear." - THT
Cooking =/= baking.

Consecutive times on base
Albert has been on base 8 straight times going back to Tuesday night.. wonder what the record is here.
with all due respect to whitey
he’s full of shit.
Tyler Greene is not a major league caliber player at all, atleast not yet.
who taught Tyler how to hit?

I don’t hate him. I just think he has absolutely no business on a major league roster
He just struck out.

He strikes out

"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
i like him
but does he ever have a good at bat?
thurston is on the bench, who else ar we suspossed to focus our anger on?
seriously, i have no hate for the kid at all. i just wish his bat was as good as his D

then they shuffle him and now not so much…earn like dunc? thursty?

its moot
how can u defend guys hovering around the mendoza line
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
i'm not defending them
i’m saying those horrible players near the mendoza line are BOTH better than Tyler Greene is.
no one hates him
they just think he has a terrible approach at the plate….some serious similarities between him and thurston

So...
1-0, bases loaded, no outs, bottom of the first, 80% of winning.
3-0, runner on first, one out, top of the second, 78% of winning.

Hmm...
Only in the HR department.
"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
I'd have a hard time believing he does in the SB department
There’s a reason I call Yadi red line… and it’s not for his sniping ability.
Bengie has 0 SB, of course.
He’s also got 33 Ks this year compared to last seasons 38. Yadi has 19 Ks and 24 BBs. Bengie has 3 BBs.
