"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."

until I followed him on twitter. I think everything he says comes off as angry plus regular NL bashing, AL East defending, etc. He also makes fun of people who ask him questions.

Keith Law is an aquired taste
I used to hate him but then I realized that he just shows his opinions more than a normal journalist would, but he isn’t a normal journalist and is in fact an editorial blogger for the most part. His Twitter may come off strong but I feel that it should be treated as his personal and not professional opinion. But I don’t think the NL/AL disparity is as big as people want to make it out to be, but maybe there should be a study on replacement and average in both leagues since I think most of the disparity is on the top end not the low end.
"Come test me every day if you want," says Pujols, "Everything I ever made in this game I would give back to the Cardinals if I got caught."
NL/AL disparity
is to me a couple of different things.
1. The NL has more teams and more teams with small payrolls/lack of great talent so yeah there are more “bad teams” in the NL.
2. The Yankees alone makes the AL seem like a “dominate league” but they have to pay $209,081,577 (WAY MORE than any other team) to achieve their success.
To me the American League is the WORST of the two because you only have a few teams (Yankees, Red Sox, Angels) that make the playoffs every year. Yeah sure teams like the Rays and Tigers can and have beat the “Big 3 of the AL” in the post season but there just isn’t much competitive balance in the AL as there is in the NL.
And I’m not even going to go into the DH rule.
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.

TLR was just screwing around
but honestly, Smoltz was ineffective. then, bullpen by committee

three runs was a lucky outcome

But Smoltz settled down
and was effective in innings 3-5. The first two innings, now that’s another story.
so lemme get this straight
This is the game where:
- Boog had two steals, a triple, saved some innings with his D, and ends up in the doghouse.
- Lugo had to calm down the pitcher.
- The umpire went to the Cardinals dugout to take a piss.
All that said, for a guy who says he’s not interested in the “storyline”, John Smoltz talks about it NONSTOP.

bizarre, no?
Smoltzinski was hating on the earth like he was Molina legging out a grounder, and Lugo comes over to cool him off. That’s… something else.

about two seconds after Smoltz didn't get that one call
Then they cut to the ump returning the evil eye to Duncan.

final in Arizona
Dodgers pulled it out w/ 4 in the 8th. So the Cards and Dodgers end up tied for best record in NL.

bcb says
that soriano cost a half a run per game with his defense. that’s right, he is a -8.1 war defender
they also think that they will be able to release the defensive monstrosity and his 18mm/yr for the next five years to the orioles
maybe being delusional is the only way to be able to handle being a cubs die hard?

i would love to see an "all bad contract" team
outfield is set with Soriano, Wells, and Rio
what is the infield? i’m putting that HelGuy from CO at 1st, and then i don’t know. maybe move Soriano back to 2nd to clear up some OF room?
I want Mike Hampton starting, but lately I’m not so sure about Zito in the rotation.

we only really overpay for pitchers. i guess if you’re to overpay, pitchers are the one’s to do it to

pitching wins in the playoffs
our offense is up there with the Dodgers and just below the Philies. I mean, in the last 10 games we have scored 6 or more runs 5 times and or averaging 5.8 runs a game.
And we are complaining about it!
It's worth mentioning, I think...
That Yadi has already reached a new personal high for innings at catcher in a season.
I think he could use a few more days off down the stretch.

On July 22, the Cards were
swept by Houston and fell to 51-46. Since then, they are 32 – 11
(that’s .744 ball, folks)
If you win 3 out of every 4 games, you make any division race a runaway.

randomly, I still think it's funny that DeRosa was scared of Carpenter
and didn’t know how he would be received in the Cards clubhouse.
Did he really apologize to us? Because I wanna say, dude, it’s okay. You’re not in Wrigley anymore. Deep breaths. Blue skies, think of wide blue skies. We only play them one more time, and it’s at Busch, the bad men can’t get you here.

The second one.
Sorry I have a bad habit of just typing what I’m thinking and not stipulating.
I’m pretty sure I had seen it mentioned that he didn’t know how he would be recieved but not the bit about Carp(which is funny, btw). Carp must really be one intense dude.

Carp and DeRo
(Me too, man. My antecedents are littered all over the land.)
1. Apparently Carp threw out his chew. Quit for good after a habit since high school. Pitching takes the edge off…. mostly….
2. The last time he saw the Cardinals before the trade, apparently Carp was screaming at him from the mound. So there was some trepidation.
