"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

The wave at Busch:

1) Kids love the wave. They just do. It’s one of the undeniable laws of thermodynamics or something.

2) The Cardinals really market to families, hence many kids in the park.

3) Kids get bored.

4) The wave appears.

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

WPA

KKKKMac .200 (how about that? he faced I think 7 batters and struck out 4 of them)
Teh Suck .143
Admiral Smoltzinski .095 (sure didn’t think he’d do that well after that awful first inning)

Holliday .242
DeRo .169
Lugo .064

all other Cards batters were negative. Pujols dead last @ -.142, presumably because of the weak AB versus Greg. Won’t see that too often.

Lilly had a .251, Gregg an .052, Heilman -.357.

I think it’s amazing we saw a game managed by LaRussa and Piniella with only six pitchers total.

The managers restrained their natural tendencies to try to outsmart each other, largely due to the gaping maw of threatening extra innings in game 1 of a big series, I’d think.

that the friend zone is a fallacy. sometimes a girl is your friend and isn’t interested in you; other times a girl is your friend but really is interested in you. that doesn’t mean that you missed your chance, just that there never was a chance.

It's seen as outside of

The alternative to sex before marriage seems to be early marriages. And those aren’t working out well, mainly b/c people are getting married young, getting knocked up, and then realizing they got married for all the wrong reasons.

I believe outside of marriage it’s not what God intended. I also believe you should not get married because you want to have sex. I can understand how this would be hard. I don’t really know how to fix it. Except maybe don’t make it such a terrible thing to talk about in church. Explain things more. There are a lot of confused kids out there because their parents and pastors and churches don’t discuss things like that and they don’t know what to do.

He has some offensive upside:

TLR will feel free to PH LaRue late in a game in a double switch instead of using Piniero or Wainwright as a PH since the third catcher is available on the bench in case of catastrophe.

It’s a long story but I’ll tell it anyway. So it’s 2007 and I’m babysitting and the people have no cable. I don’t know what to watch because the little girl is already in bed and I’m bored. It’s October so the playoffs are on but I had forgotten because I wasn’t as big a baseball fan as I am now and the ALDS was on that night and my parents being good NL parents brought me up to not care too much about the Al except that the Yankees should always lose. So I was flipping through the channels and saw baseball was on and (I remember this exchange in my head very clearly) I was like, Baseball. OH wait it’s the Yankees, Gross. Oh wait the Yankees are losing, interesting. Hey that guy playing center field for this other team is pretty attractive. Okay I’ll watch. So I watched the Indians beat the Yankees and fell in love. I don’t know with what. Everyone says it’s only because of Grady but that’s not true. I don’ think any amount good looks would make up for the epic fail that was 2008 and is 2009.

They met in 2002 when the Cards were in Seattle for Interleague

They were both coming off their rookie years.

Pujols asked Ichiro for a bat. He signed it and handed it to Albert.

Albert asked for a second one, persistent that it be unsigned. Turns out Albert was on a research mission. He wanted to try out his bat in BP to see what made Ichiro so good.

“I wanted to know what kind of wood it was and what was making him better”

Albert ultimately decided the bat was too small.

Anyway, I just thought it was interesting. Albert being Albert, even then.

he was absolutely dealing

he only had runners on more than one base twice (I think) and he worked his way out of trouble. We were surprised when they pulled him, but the scoreboard was messed up and I didn’t know what the pitch count was. MacLane was very nice and I also talked to his mother- turns out he is from Chico CA which is about 80 miles from Sac (and where I went to college). It’s somethin’ special to see the winning pitchers mom with tears in her eyes.

And Wallace didn’t look all that impressive (first impressions, I know)-

aside from our boys. Freddy Sanchez looks good, but it’ll be really cool to see a chart of which infielders make their 1B dig balls out of the dirt most often, how fast they get it there, how well they set up their 1B for a clean stretch, etc.

This is a matter of arguing by eyeballing it whether the east-west circumference of the world is larger in Paris or Barcelona.

Columbus didn’t have the instruments to measure that then.

UZR uses errors as a parameter, for Pete’s sake. I’m looking forward to seeing whether Tango’s “a million eyeballs” defense evaluation strategy will work better than MGL’s.

I would love it if Mo could figure out how to move Lohse

I actually like Lohse, but he is getting paid too much to have such an iffy year. If Mo could figure out how to get rid of the contract and turn him into even prospects (forget ML-ready players), it’d be an epic win.

cocaine's a hell of a drug

seriously though, Lohse + Garcia + Craig, with the Cards eating all or most of Lohse’s contract, and taking on all or most of Wright’s, would probably be what it would take. Something like that. Maybe a PTBNL too.

realistically, pretty much

there are other teams that could possibly be enticed to take Lohse’s contract, but the Mets ain’t one of them.

Like I was saying, the ChiSox might be a more likely partner….or some team on the edge of contention next year at the deadline if he can have a semi-decent 2010 season.

I'm taking the optimistic route

Lohse is having a shity injury plagued year, like everyone does, and next year he’s going to pull a Barry Zito on Milwaukee’s ass and be a strong #3

I hope like hell

he can get it put together in time for the playoffs, because if he could pitch like he did (briefly) at the beginning of this year he’d be an enormous asset….we could move Smoltz to the 8th inning without worrying, which knocks Motte to the 7th and K-Mac to the PK long relief/mop-up role.

I actually like the idea of

Lohse getting DL’ed with a phantom injury, Garcia taking his place in the rotation, and Boggs & Smoltz both coming out of the pen. Think that might require 12 pitchers though….

ooh

that’s tough.

Molina isn’t in the same category of hitter, but Molina’s ability at preventing WP/PBs and ridiculous laser rocket arm should go some way to making that up….honestly I’d imagine there are few things that give a team more of psychological boost than picking a guy off—when Franklin picked off Theriot in the 9th that was HUGE….I know Mauer is considered a good catcher, but is he Yadi good?

I think I’d give Yadi/Pujols the edge just on homer bias…..

I've seen maybe 40 games where Mauer has caught

from what I can tell he’s elite

by YesWeOquendo on Sep 19, 2009 4:31 AM EDT up reply actions  

sounds about right

Yadi is otherwordly behind the plate. At the plate, he has become an adequate hitter….his OPS is in the .730s right now, which AFAIC means he’s a good hitter, for a catcher. We all know that Yadi seems to do well in high lvrg/RISP type situations too.

But Mauer is on a historically Great pace for any position…..that plus him being plus in the field makes him potential first-ballot HOF if he can keep it up and not break down.

fyi I got the original 1978 The Inglorious Bastards going on in the background

It’s nothing like the new Quintin Terrintino (sp?) remake
And it’s completely badass

fuck a duck

the Red Sox are up seven frigging games over Texas in the AL WC. I knew they had pulled away but I didn’t realize they were that far out of reach.

That sucks. I hate the $%#%ing Red Sox and I want to see anybody else in the !@#$%ing playoffs just for variety’s sake. That and that stupid fucking field layout…..the short corner in right, the fucking wall with a name in left….ugh.

I guess they’d be the team I’d root for in the AL….

I just threw up

a lot. Kind of came out of nowhere.

Shut up, Fritz™.

I guess.

But I didn’t feel bad before, either. This is two weekends in a row I’ve just randomly puked.

It’s like my stomach just gets full and kicks everything out.

Shut up, Fritz™.

Holy fucking shit.

it is four in the morning. I need to get to bed!

just cheering Fritz….when I puke it tends to be the next morning and it’s a horrible drawn out process

next morning puke is awful

worst start imaginable

I'm terrible about it

rarely, if ever, yak while drinking….it’s always six or eight hours later

by nota bene on Sep 19, 2009 5:08 AM EDT up reply actions  

yep thats the worst

because it’s been long enough after you’ve drank to where you begin to sober up and you feel everything coming up and swear off drinking, go to bed, and call some girl that likes to be in control of things but rarely gets to be to nurse you back up, but will manage to make things worse somehow

Still real good.

The Brewers are the first team I’ve ever seen enjoy being a losing team, and I don’t respect that.

Guys like Bradley are exactly why we can't have a pumpkin patch anymore.

The Onion

I’m thinking about changing my sig to something Shannon said Friday night on Live at Shannons: “In 2035, 25 young men will be able to call themselves world champions. Some of those guys haven’t even been born yet. And some of them are Asian.”

Shut up, Fritz™.

You should.

I was trying to get out of one of the cheap parking garages on Broadway when I heard that. The CLH and I just looked at each other and laughed.

“Some of ‘em are just a twinkle in someone’s eye!”

The we proceeded to sit in traffic on 4th for an entire hour because we didn’t realize there was construction near Cass.
