[Note by Valatan]: I'm not noticing a FP post today, and there is activity in this game thread, so I'm frontpaging it.
If you're missing an hour, it wasn't me. I swear.
The man, the glare, the schoolyard, Julio Lugo will be sidelined after what I gather is a groin strain. They're saying five "days". Or a "week".
Meanwhile, you can read the Post-Dispatch's feature on Colby Rasmus. Bring a unicorn.
Lineups and scintillating commentary after the jump... from the future.
Gametime is 12:05 Central Daylight Savings "time" on KTRS, GameDay Audio, and XM 184.
Globe-Democrat has the liveblog; Rob Rains is supposed to follow on Twitter.

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
maybe.
when it comes down to it, what you see in pictures is like 10% of what matters. The fact that she has a ring on, and colby is smiling, is a really, really good thing imho.

What you see in a single picture is probably less than 10%
but physical attraction (which is an individual and sometimes inscrutable preference) is certainly important for the health of a relationship.
Also, it’s about the only thing we can easily judge from our computers so . . . ya.
Think; It's not illegal yet.
i didn't mean to sound so shallow
in my head, pro athletes wives & gf’s should all be ridiculously attractive. she certainly is attractive, but she looks regular pretty, not super star CF wife pretty. i hate even looking at another man’s gf or wife, to me that’s just wrong. so i shouldn’t have said anything at all. she’s way out of my basement dwelling league so i have no right whatsoever to judge.
looks aren’t everything, all they do is open the door. after that, there’s so much more that goes into what makes two people click. i am well aware of this.

Also during the season, outfielder Joe Mather, catcher Bryan Anderson and outfielder Nick Stavinoha endured season-ending injuries. Combined with the usual shuttle of players back and forth between the Cardinals, the Redbirds found themselves 71/2 games back in mid-June after being swept in Nashville.

STOP WALKING OMG!
In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

I think he did something similar last spring
I think it was walks, may have been hits.
Lets hope it carries into the season.
wasn't hits
because i remember tony telling him he needed to get his avg. up to .300 to seriously make the team. the year before, when there was no way he was making the club anyway, he was probably the most impressive player in spring training.

In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.

"The two most important things in life: good friends and a strong bullpen." - Bob Gibson
My favorite part...
Olney actually analyzes it, as if it would ever happen:
Pujols is a right-handed hitter who would help to balance a Philadelphia lineup that has been very left-handed, and he is regarded as a superior first baseman, as well as being the best hitter in the sport.
and howard is from st. louis
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
To be fair,
if we trade for a lefty-hitting first baseman, we can then spin him off to San Fran for Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum, and Bill Braske.

SB Nation's take on this includes:
The article title:“This Week In Absurd Trade Rumors”
and this line:
It’s a trade that only a Playstation 3 would make, and I don’t think I even need to explain why. Check that. I just fired up my PS3 and my copy of MLB: The Show. I attempted to trade Pujols for Howard, and my PS3 grew arms and legs, made an obscene gesture in my direction, opened my living room window, and jumped. $300 down the drain. Thanks a lot, Buster Olney.
And over at the Good Phight, these lines cracked me up:
we should just trade the whole lineup for pujols b/c he could play all 8 positions at once and probably be a solid closer at the same time
and
I’m very disappointed. I had such high hopes reading the headline, but this story wasn’t funny AT ALL. I mean, seriously, don’t try a snarky story unless you can keep it up throughout the whole article.

Would anybody be super unhappy if Colby turned into a three true outcomes player?
Sure, it’d be fun watching him fly around the basepaths, and he doesn’t necessarily “look” like the other three-true-outcomes players, but just from this spring only he’s got 2 HR, 5 BB, and 7 K in 27 PA.
We know he has power in spades (he’s got the 2nd farthest average “true home run” distance, I believe), has shown good patience in the minors and looks like he’s been working on that this spring, and can be prone to striking out.
I’m thinking like a .265/.350/.450 type player with plus defense?
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
If colby turns in those rate stats on an annual basis
he’s an all start talent and a 4 WAR player in centerfield. That’s incredibly valuable but I’d like to think he could get the average and OBP higher.
Think; It's not illegal yet.
So far, Colby hits too many fly balls to be a .300 hitter,
so a patient TTO hitter seems like his upside at this point.

Well, Quinn traded to the Broncos
Notre Dame bias aside, i guess Delhomme is the answer for the Browns….., but I like the deal for the Broncos, gives them an option in case Orton flops or signs elsewhere.
In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.

no matter what you think of my opinions, I have evidence of these patterns. show me where arguing for half a screen or hugging the right margin got people to stop, for good, that didn’t result in banning. prolonging something beyond making a point will just get more people on the bandwagon, and/or the same people will come right back with the same posts.
if this were IMs or Twitter, it wouldn’t work that way. but this is a threaded forum, and the longest thread gets the most attention. the internet just doesn’t do value judgments. it’s whatever floats to the top.
(no, I don’t actually care how long my threads get, which I think I’ve said to you before. I’m in other forums where vying for attention is a priority for me, and VEB is not one of them.)
and by the way, every time I explain what I’m thinking, I’m not necessarily arguing. I’m sorry if you feel like you have to argue with me to get a straight answer – or the answer you think I should give, but I’m just didactic. if you have a problem with that, too bad.

And Mizzou leads the nation in turnovers forced while doing a decent job of protecting the ball so I have to like that part of the matchup.

Straight up poo
I still don’t really think Safford’s loss has caused that, Denmon/Bowers/Taylor just been missing open shots they were drilling earlier in the year—-18/80 22.5% from 3 from K-State on. And I am legally required to mention how bad Kim English is 90% of the time.
Not afraid to nitpick
They actually don't turn it over themselves a lot when they're on.
But recently Tanner has been not doing so good with the ball handling thing and all year he’s just been off and he’s their only hope when it comes to threes unless Young is in. I really do think Mizzou has the upper hand here big time.

But Mike Anderson has one multiple March Madness games. Oliver Purnell is 0-for-5. And it’s not like Anderson has been a 1-seed every year and Purnell has been a 16-seed.
Also, for the record, I really like Oliver Purnell. I hope Auburn finds a coach like him, because traditionally basketball at Auburn is alot like basketball at Clemson; just getting to the NCAAs is a success. Of course, I hope that whoever we get actually wins in March :P

But after some of the first stunts he pulled Iowa played at Illinois. Krush knew of his problems and started a ‘no means no’ chant. Alford bitched to the Big Ten about it. That is one of the reasons I don’t like the jerk. Well that and he’s a ninny. I also hate Iowa as a school too so there’s that. As I’ve long said why would I want to go to Iowa.

Regarding Rasmus....
4 friggin’ walks today. How in the hell do you do that during a ST game? After the 3rd walk, I probably would have been like ‘Alright, time to pitch to the kid’. But noooooooo, its a spring training game THAT DOESN’T EVEN COUNT and you won’t pitch him strikes.
And its not like just one person walked him everytime, hell, even Strasburg walked him (his first of the spring).
And that article by Strauss on C-Ras was actually really well done and EXPLAINS ALOT about Colby’s personality, his personal life, his rookie struggles, and his relationship with Hal McRae last year. The article is very optimistic about McGwire’s effect on young hitters and how Big Mac relates and doesn’t change your swing. He analyzes and maximizes your hitting potential. Overall, there was only a couple of moments when I thought I had to call on a Unicorn to save me. Strauss put together a decent article.

You’re drawing conclusions based on unreliable information. But fishing the facts out of there is possible. I just think it’s a leap to assume he’s immature.

well I think it's a pretty big shock to go from a bunch of young guys
who are high schoolers and in their early twenties, and then jump into the Majors. the imbalance in veterans probably weighs more than anyone (but the rooks) realize.
I don’t think it’s that big of a deal, since no one’s injured or psychologically broken forever; I was responding to “Colby just wasn’t talking to anybody”, like everyone’s angelic and Raz is just an isolated immature kid.

According to Mitch Williams,
Waino is struggling to win twice as many games as he loses. Maybe Adam should give up on pitching since he’s struggling so badly.

You could tell except for maybe John Hart
Mitch Williams and the assclown that was the lead interviewer had no clue about Adam. I bet they can’t name more than 8 players on the Cardinals…..but they can give you the name of the batboys and bathroom janitors for the Yankees, Phillies and Red Sox.

Chris wasn't lying!
In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

Anyone ever use an electronic cigarette before?

three for the road
DeRosa said he is still feeling the effects of last season’s wrist injury, which required surgery in October. “It gets cranky sometimes, but it feels good in comparison to last year,” said DeRosa, who put himself at about 90 percent healed. “They said it would be a tricky procedure because there are so many small parts in there.” link
Ankiel, 30, was scratched from Friday’s game against Seattle in Peoria, Ariz., after reporting the soreness. He didn’t play Saturday against the Angels in Surprise.
Hillman said Ankiel isn’t certain how the injury occurred.
"If he did (do something)," Hillman said, "he’s not telling me. But I don’t think there was anything specific that triggered it.
"In the spot where it’s sore, if you continue to do weight-bearing activities, the soreness is not going to dissipate. He knows the plan. He wants to play, but he gets the big picture." link
Wellemeyer replied, “It is. But I’m not looking for a handout. I feel good right now. I feel like I did two years ago.” link

"We were men - flesh and blood - and we played baseball in the sunshine. We hit doubles off the wall, slid hard into second base. We had fights, and we made love. We sang songs and prayed on Sundays. . . . We felt pain. And we felt joy. There was a lot wrong with the world. But we weren't sad, man. We had the times of our lives."
