Albert is jumpintg at everything
That at bat was bS. He had multiple chance to go middle or Rf for the tie. He is just looking to pull something deep. Not good team play.
why the hell
do they get so excited about a bases empty line drive for the Phillies.. but us.. we get nothing… grumble grumble grumble
like in his looks, mannerisms, what?
Also, have you seen that shitty ESPN The Magazine commercial where he’s sitting at a pizza joint with Chad Ochocinco, Jameer Nelson, plus some douche?
God, for all the funny ESPN “This is Sportscenter” commercials, you’d think they could do better than the crap they churn out for The Mag promos.

I hope others are seriously concerned
about this Rasmus odd-man-out deal.
Ankiel’s numbers are better the last five games or so, but he is still way over-swinging and still reminding me of Tino (ugh) Martinez. Colby’s swing is more fluid, and HE will snap out of it soon; Ankiel will frump his way back to frustration.
Every day Colby is not in CF distresses me
And at least in the first three games after the break hit like 5 lasers right at people

this always makes me smile
“The Memphis franchise played at Tim McCarver Stadium through the 1999 season after which they moved into a brand new downtown ballpark, Autozone Park. Like many ballparks from the 1960’s, it was set on a fairgrounds away from the downtown. It was situated right next door to the Liberty Bowl. McCarver Stadium was one of those strange parks that features an artificial turf infield and a grass outfield. Having not seen a game here and because I was not able to get inside on my only visit, I cannot give this park a grade. From most accounts, it was not a great minor league park, and one that few people seem to be missing. In early 2005, the park was demolished.”

And this is just his freshman year

Miller's appearance
Trevor has looked better to me virtually the entire season that I initially thought possible. Very happy with the way he’s turned out thus far.
If only Ankiel could have stopped sucking last week
We could have not made this trade..
the time to regret this trade starts next year for me officially.
I got most of my anger out the day of.
Good point
but with Dunc gone, TLR wanted an impact bat. I don’t know if even a slugging Ankiel could pacify TLR.

to me, the main thing that could make this holliday trade a bad one
is if ankiel really does start tearing it up again. if he’s back to his “old” self, then left field was NOT our biggest whole…5th starting pitcher was, and that’s what we should have moved prospects for. i’m not condemning the trade, just pointing out how circumstances can affect it.

i think he's gonna have to perform well for longer than a week
for other teams to be willing to give up much for him. the deadline is too soon for him to have proved himself.
capital letters suck.
true
but if i’m an opposing manager i’m not necessarily convinced by this 1 week that his troubles are behind him. any trade for him would most likely just be for 2 months so any more struggles this year are magnified. now if mo COULD flip him for a useful pitcher, then WOW. props to him and we are set. we wouldn’t have much of a bench but starting lineup and rotation would be RIDICULOUS. right now that 5th pitcher is our only significant hole
capital letters suck.
I appreciate him

Not definitive, sure.
But let’s be real: he made a nice, flashy defensive play and he hit a solo home run. He’s not dominating the game.

You're tryin' pretty hard to downplay his game.
If that was Raz right now you’d be all over his junk.
I'm happy with Rick's play.
But I’m not going to be “all over his junk” because he’s had a few good games. Seems many here are, though.

it really is though
He has 1 pitch, and it’s a heater. It’s fast, but shit, that’s it. He has control issues and throws one pitch for a strike sometimes.
How he’s had the success he’s had so far is beyond me.
Just dang.
Seriously, Jason, major league hitters can hit that thing if that’s all you throw. grief.
you know how the yankees have (had) the Joba rules?
we need Motte rules. you can’t pitch him two days in a row. some stat freak find me his ERA in games the day after he’s already pitched? i bet it’s like 7.50.

Oh dear
For all the money our HOF manager is being paid, you’d think he’d understand that Jason Motte cannot be used twice in a row vs. the same team. Motte is kind of like a sidearmer…Once he’s been seen he seems to lose a lot of what makes him effective. Opponents are pretty much ready to hit his serious cheese the more they see him.
This is why TLR needs to pick his spots with the guy. Throwing him in an 8-1 game isn’t one of those spots, b/c heaven forbid he has to throw the next game.
Just my humble opinion…
Oh, and Howard is a real butcher. That was a stunning display of ineptitude there.

In Tony's defense (to a degree), Motte was a different pitcher today
Totally different strategy and results.
True
…but SSS Warning hasn’t pitched that well in consecutive days yet this season. As much as TLR loves these SSS justifications, you’d think he would know this.
Anyway, Motte really has one pitch and there’s only so much strategy that can go into employing that pitch. He was much sharper last night too….but TLR has to share some of the blame for misusing a player.

You know, two weeks ago
When the Phils went up 3-0, you pretty much figured the Cards would struggle to tie. Today, I’m not worried. When Rollins hit the grand salami, two weeks ago this game was pretty much over.
Today, I’m calling it right now: Even though Luddy struck out, Cards come back and win this game.

We sell the highest powered green laser pointers in the world. Our green lasers are so bright and powerful they can burn, slash and melt plastic or, if you are so inclined, light your smoke. The green lasers create a beam you can see for miles in dark conditions. Our high-powered green laser pointers are used by the US military to disorient and intimidate the enemy. Wicked Lasers offers four series of DPSS green lasers, the Executive™, Evolution™, Photonic Disruptor™, Spyder II™ GX, and the new Elite™.
