so, pk still gets two days (in sept, so no big deal).

but cain, fielder, any number of other plunkers and general malcontents → 0?

i have no problem disciplining a guy for throwing near the head. i would like to see some kind of consistency, though.

Brewers will test him

He still has a live arm, so I hope he can keep it up against a strong lineup.

2. Ryan – SS
3. Pujols – 1B
4. Holliday – LF

"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."

"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."

Quote on Cubs

“The focus of this team doesn’t seem to be so much on the regular season but on how to win a game in the postseason after consecutive sweeps.”

Maybe they should have focuses more on the regular season?

And the game is in Raleigh, so those are NCSU fans

I'm late to the college football stuff

But I’m so stoked for USC’s (The good one) on Saturday. It’s an early game, 12:30, so I’m going to have to start drinking at like 8:00 AM, but I think Matt Barkley is going to be great here. Besides, he has 20 All-American runningbacks to fall back on

Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'

He better be great...

He was the #1 rated QB in the country.

I was kidding about South Carolina, they suck. They just don’t realize it.

bcb cheers me, in a bad way.

on Soriano’s failboat:
Unbelievable.
Will he make it out of Wrigley?

from one of their twitts: PWSullivan Cubs fan tosses symbolic white towel over LF bleacher wall after Soriano gaffe. Security looking for towel guy.

save the gatorade!:
Muskat’s latest tweet
Dempster took his frustration out on water fountain in Cubs dugout, kicking it a few times

on… a fine ex-Cardinal:
 ARE YOU KIDDING????
We expand the rosters and STILL this guy gets in?

We’ve just been Aaroned.

on Marshall to Theriot:
Somebody turn on the Benny Hill music.. this is so bad its funny.

but at least there’s a happy ending:
@PWSullivan: Sox fan injured by Milton’s broken bat has an ice bag on her foot, but no puncture wounds. Looking for Milton to autograph the barrel.

what would've happened if Brendan had missed the signal

from Oquendo and started to swing instead of being pulled?

what a wierd game...

Skippy would have made a defensive play for a Cardinal win, Rasmus draws a walk and then gets picked off, Albert fails with the bases loaded and strikes out to end the game.

At least Glaus got a double. Welcome back Santa! Oh, and our magic number went down.

Guess you can’t win them all.
