I may have to go, 1) to see those two aces and 2) to catch up on Enunciate

used to be the A’s affiliate. All the big-time players from the LaRussa era in Oakland played in Huntsville.

Yep

McGwire and Canseco came through. They called Canseco “Parkway Jose” because he supposedly hit a ball to the Parkway one night (yeah right that’s like 1200 feet)

McGwire played 55 games there and Canseco played 67 games there.

Since they became a Brewers affiliate, Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun, Corey Hart, et al have come through

So I'm watching the Sawx@Jays today...

…and I have to say that I cannot believe Rick Sutcliffe was actually a good pitcher. This guy literally does not know his ass from his elbow. He’s been trying to talk about the Sawx staff and saying that if, and i pretty much quote(in spirit if not in exact words)…

“If Francona goes to Lester and says ’we’re thin in the ‘pen’ he’ll give you eight or nine.”

Like what, he’ll will himself to do that? Are you trying to say that he has this skill but only uses it when Francona asks him to? Hell, that sounds kind of lazy! If he can pitch deep into a game and dominate and do it on call, why doesn’t he do that all the time? Of course, this is all absurd b/c Rick Sutcliffe is a big silly.

“Look at what Mike Maddux is doing in Texas. Look at the numbers Milwaukee had last year with him and now without him.”

Ben Sheets and CC Sabathia had nothing to do with that? I don’t doubt Mike Maddux knows what he’s doing b/c that Texas team is pitching fairly well, but Sheets and Sabathia tend to help these things.

And again…this is a guy who was a pretty good MLB pitcher. Whuuu???

Oh, missed my favorite...

“Buchholz is proving himself to be a good pitcher because he is beating Halladay!”

Okay…Rick…um…Buchholz is not pitching against Roy Halladay. Yes, yes they are the opposing starters. But Buchholz is facing the other team’s hitters. If he’s worried about what Halladay is doing, then that’s A VERY BAD THING. If you did when you pitched, that’s a VERY BAD THING. Your job is to supress runs regardless of the other pitcher. Did you take a night off if Bilbo Baggins was the opposing pitcher?

Oh, it gets better…

“You can’t skip Pettitte in a three game series with all that experience in the post season.”

You sure as shit can if he’s not the best option to start a game. I take CC or Joba over him for sure, maybe Burnett too though he’s been erratic this year. Good lord.

I’m wearing my 1985 WS shirt as a subliminal anti-Dodgers statement and a blatant pro-Cardinals statement. I’ll be rooting for the Cards with my gf from about 15 seats left of our dugout (if you were looking from the field) and 10 rows back from the field.

No further comments tonight as this has cut my phone battery in life in half. As a Ca resident, this marks my first Cards game in some time, so I’m really psyched to see the team in person. Go Cards!

i watched the game against the Yanks...

… and he got rocked. nothing was working. but the Yanks are pretty good, and it was only one start.

expectations should be low for Smoltz, but it’s still a solid, no-risk move to pick him up. and having him pitch against SD and Washington back-to-back should help.

The lefties have hurt him...

typically that might indicate a problem with his slider, but fangraphs has his fastball as the pitch that’s getting crushed… So I dunno.

"Watching Yadi is like watching my younger brother."

Cal is saying sometimes he has deja vu when he sees Yadi.

Mike says he saw a lot of pretenders, where it never crossed his mind that they’d replace him. Then he saw Yadi and changed his mind.

“You can’t help but love the guy.”

“Yadi’s just reckless, you never know what he’s gonna do.” Edge of his seat to see what he and Albert will do.

Paraphrase: He doesn’t think he had much to do with Yadi. Mr. Dave Ricketts worked with Yadi more. He had every reason to be arrogant… but he wanted to listen. “Most of the time he just humored me, because a lot of it he already knew.”

wiki says the same thing
It was also during the 1946 season that Musial acquired his nickname of the “The Man.”58 During the June 23 game against the Dodgers at Ebbets Field, St. Louis Post-Dispatch sportswriter Bob Broeg heard Dodger fans chanting whenever Musial came to bat.5859 Later that day over dinner Broeg asked Cardinals traveling secretary Leo Ward if he had understood what the Dodger fans had been chanting.58 Ward said that, “Every time Stan came up they chanted, Here comes the man!” “That man, you mean,” Broeg said. “No, the man,” replied Ward.58 When Broeg mentioned this story in his St. Louis Post-Dispatch column, Musial was thereafter known as Stan “The Man.”58

I think that if any position player has to pitch this year it should be Lugo

And it should be Game 1 of the NLDS. He will intimidate the opposing team into a perfect game.

Without throwing a single pitch

No excuses. No injuries. No "better luck next time"
Do it, and shut the f—- up.
