the part that really blew my mind
is that people actually tore off some #s….either that or the fist-hawker tore some off Jedi Mind Trick style….
ya..the fact that there was interest
is frightening.
Company coming over, we’re drinking beer, grilling Rib steaks, and watching the game…have a great thread I’ll check in later.

had dinner with a rockies fan tonight
she won’t be watching tonight…she doesn’t want to see Holliday in any other jersey
Go Cards!!
well not much in the pre-game
the montage was cool, though not as cool as the never-again aired August Montage. mostly guys saying the usual “it’ll be nice to clinch” and Holliday’s lego head.
However, I was noting the timeline of walkoff poundings. 2003ish had practically no celebration. In 2004 there was a gathering around home plate, but it was fairly sedate. Then in 2005 they’d hired the boxing instructor. Can anyone else confirm that shift?

Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.

i think it may not be a common usage, but this is why I find the "clinch day" comments
funny
clinch
verb (used with object)
1. to settle (a matter) decisively: After they clinched the deal they went out to celebrate.
. . . .
6. Slang. to embrace, esp. passionately.

no, "clinched."
clenched means to press tightly together, e.g., a fist.
“clinch” requires two people.

They are “changing” the ball to be more like the baseballs used in the other 29 parks.

I'm curious
is the change in Carp’s pfx on his fastball ATG because of Coors?
"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."
He's definitely having trouble locating his 2-seamer

The Klitschkos have been knocked down by much, much less
One solid connect by prime Tyson, i.e. with good speed and movement, would send both of them home quickly.
Vitali Klitschko has never been knocked down or faced a 10 count of any kind
Not once. His two losses came on injuries when he was ahead on the scorecards and he’s knocked out everyone else but two guys (unanimous decision and Peter quit in the 8th)

For some reason in my head ....
I thought it was Vitali who lost to Lamon Brewster. Sorry about that. I still maintain that a prime Tyson would beat him.

There cannot possibly be a team with worst plate discipline
than the Cardinals. They couldnt work a count to save their life. Even if every guy hit a HR on the 1st pitch, it still wouldnt mean that its good baseball. DeRo swinging 3-0 is a perfect example of horrible coaching, zero reason for that to happen…& it happens quite often with this team.

The Cardinls have never gone to a World series in a year ending in 9. Every other year they have: 1930, 31, 42, 82, 43, 34, 44, 64, 2004, 85, 26, 46, 2006, 67, 87 , 28 & 68. But no 9s, Could this be the year?
Didn't we used to have an offense?

Courts confirm what we allready knew about the Cubs
They’re bankrupt….
Yesterday the bankruptcy court allowed the Tribune, owners of the Cubs, to have the Chiccgo Cubs NL baseball Club Inc. file for bankrupcy so the sale could go through.
There is some visceral satisfaction in that!

in six innings
he’s allowed eight baserunners but only one run….90 pitches seems pretty amazing given that.
I'd still send him out for the 7th
Bottom of the order, good to get a little more used to getting his pitches to work up here.
Guys like Bradley are exactly why we can't have a pumpkin patch anymore.
Mgmt decision
Carp is up fourth this inning. Thrown 90 pitches through 6 innings. If someone gets on base do you PH for him?

I think if it was a fake they try harder to not use memes. This is asking to get caught.

Rejoice!
"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."
