Maybe for the average fan

But that’s not what’s great about CFB to me. It’s the entire day experience. Tailgating. Beautiful young women in sundresses. Drinking alcohol at noon and not being looked at like you’re stupid. Marquee night games. App. State over Michigan. Stanford over USC.

I’ll put it like Beano Cook once did: "The college football season is like great sex. You wait and wait and wait for it, and when it finally gets here, it’s over way too quick.

Well I get to go to a ton of games, luckily

But I also love watching the major Saturday night games on ABC. Last year’s Texas/Texas Tech game was great to watch, even if I was in a bar 2000 miles away from it and had no real rooting interest in either team.

Why?

Did they pee in your cheerios? What’s your problem with them? If you say the losing, I’m going to laugh you out of your shoes. The team has been in town fewer than 15 years and has been to the SB twice. They’ve certainly visited the playoffs a lot more than the last team we had.

Nothing like that

just old fashioned dislike. I generally dislike the team. I dislike management. And the Rams SB team were my least favorite of the last decade not name “New England”

Unitas and Peyton is alright in my book. Unitas is still my favorite QB of all time. I’m surprised you didn’t like Warner’s Rams, though. I always thought his demeanor reminded me more of Unitas than any other QB I’ve seen.

This time around is quite a bit different.

Bidwell gave St. Louis no reason to support the team, and yet they still were supported. They just didn’t see any reason to build them an 85,000 seat stadium for an ownership that once said “The worst thing that could happen to the St. Louis Cardinals is to win a Super Bowl.” The guy was a joke.

This time around, St. Louis made a huge mistake with that stupid out-clause regarding the dome. I still think they’re ultimately going to get something done, ‘cuz there really isn’t another market that’s going to take them away.

LA is a pipe dream.

They can’t get a stadium built. For all of the brave talk, nobody there wants a team badly enough to work for it. I really don’t expect a Canadian market to be able to support the team at their tax rates. In addition, you’re talking about moving a team into the hockey capital of the world with a season that runs parallel to the hockey season. I don’t buy either argument there.

by etp_stl on Aug 18, 2009 12:53 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well, ....

they revamped their entire front office, drafted a new MLB, drafted a new OT to eventually replace Pace’s spot, and they’ve removed virtually all players from their SB years.

They still have holes, but the are on the right path to winning. I wouldn’t look for playoffs until maybe next year, though.

I don’t understand how Cubs fans still get surprised when their team implodes. It happens year after year, decade after decade, and now century after century. I figured they really just wait to see what form it takes each year.

Cub fans must have the worst relationships with their parents

They are born into Cub fandom, and when they reach 20 years old or so they realize it is actually a curse that their parents have given them. Although they never forgive their parents, they cannot stop rooting for the Cubs, and so goes the circle of life as they pass it on to their children.

TLR and Rasmus

I know TLR catches a lot of heat on here for not giving Rasmus his due playing time. I wasn’t around for pre-game and the first few innings but I bet the concensus on here was that Rasmus should have been in the starting lineup. I’m not here to dispute that, but consider this…

Perhaps Tony sat the red-hot Rasmus because there was a knuckleballer on the mound and he didn’t to risk ruining his current hot streak. So far, Colby has shown to be a very streaky hitter. Also, he’s a rookie and likely hasn’t faced many knuckleballers in his time. Ankiel, on the other hand, is in a season-long slump and can’t really be any worse after a poor game tonight (although it turned out he had a pretty good one).

I am in no way saying he is “fragile” or “weak-minded” or anything like that. I just somewhat see where TLR might have been coming from sitting him tonight.

Many you of you think TLR has something against the Young Guns. I’m offering a different persepective… tonight, TLR was actually PROTECTING Colby Rasmus.

PLUS.. he had a big walkoff HR last night… let’s just say he might have had a “late night” last night : )

Most of us guessed the reason he didnt play tonight (knuckleballer) before the game started.

This was one of those situations where I didnt care, but am glad he did because Ank had the GW run.

And the Marlins have won the World Series twice, which is more embarrassing for the Cubs than the Pirates.

Tony talkin' Smoltz

Y’all have probably already seen this, but Tony talks directly about the Cards’ interest in Smoltz:

“I know that he’s one of the guys we’ve been looking into,” manager Tony La Russa said. “He’s healthy, and when he’s healthy, he’s a weapon.”

To me it makes sense for him to go the Dodgers or the Cardinals

Dodgers he can be a starter or the Cardinals he can be a reliever. I can honestly see him go to the Dodgers to be a starter though. He will only go to a playoff contender in the NL.

Could he be a fifth starter for us

then move to the pen if we make the playoffs? That sounds feasible.

From a similar article at the P-D

this OT nugget:

“I tell you what, I don’t take the team picture without wearing a cup,” said third baseman Mark DeRosa, who thought it “absurd” that a major-league infielder would put himself at such risk.

I never wore one for soccer.

I never wore one for soccer, either.

Didn’t wear one when I was coaching the keepers for my college women’s team. Must have gotten nailed in the groin about 5 times a year (those women had bazookas for feet), mostly when we had to play indoors due to weather. Would never think about NOT wearing one now, for any sport, especially the karate I do now.

So, ....

if the Cards can sweep this series, they can pull within 1/2 game of the Dodgers in the overall standings. They can’t control what the Phillies do, but the Dodgers have a higher win% than the Phillies right now. After the Cubs implosion, I’m kinda excited about watching the Cards try to improve their positioning.

Not the P-D, but Matthew Leach

at the mothership:

“We’re talking about [an assignment to one of the farm affiliates] now,” said Jeff Luhnow, the Cardinals’ vice president for scouting and player development. "He’ll be coming to St. Louis during the next homestand, and from that point [he could go] to one of our clubs.

“He’s been throwing, and he’s in pretty good shape. The plan is to try to get him some innings before the end of the season. … The idea is even if he only gets three or four innings between now and the end of the season, at least he’s out there with a club and getting a feel of what it’s like to be in pro ball.”
