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."

ESPN showed the arch through the, well, arches at the Lacledes Landing metrolink stop...
…they said the view was from the Capital Building.
Obviously, it wasn’t. No biggie – just correcting them.

Pagnozzi is funny to think about
I get mad imagining him at the major league level…but then I realize, he’s so bad, I should be mad that he’s at the AAA level, maybe even AA. The very fact that he’s knocking on the door is just so ridiculous.

So I was watching the Indians feed on MLB.tv earlier
And it is seriously depressing (sorry CG). At first I thought something was wrong with the feed, because there wasn’t really any background noise going on — just the announcers, and anytime they weren’t talking, total silence. But then someone made contact and the bat made its usual wood-on-ball sound.
Turns out, the stadium was just so empty and the crowd was so quiet that there wasn’t even enough general stadium noise to register on the TV feed. How depressing.
Also
The Indians TV guys sounded bored as hell. You’d have thought it was September and they were 30 games out or something.
Welcome to my world.
Meanwhile I finished my Hershey’s chocolate pie a couple of inning’s too early I think.

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
oh, i thought he was hispanic

I believe he is Afro-Caribbean or whatever the technical term is
But it strikes me as fairly obvious that he’s not white.
Indeed
Neither is Victor Martinez or David Ortiz.
Jacoby is at least part Native American, yeah?
I’m resisting the urge to actually look up the rosters and tally this up because it doesn’t matter at all and these prolonged race/ethnicity discussions often devolve into arguing.
It might be easier to name the actual African Americans

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
If I remember correctly
Pujols took him out at the plate last year, and he took offense to it. He was blocking the plate when the ball wasn’t even close to the plate, so Albert just bowled him over. It was the same series as the Backe confrontation

i'd rather have rick than soriano (on equal money)
rick is better defensively and less injury prone

I'm a Flippy fanboy
But he looks good period. He should be starting most days at 2B or 3B.
Not afraid to nitpick
I think he will be

I still like Freese, but Floppy is better
If everyone stays healthy, 10% of the games at SS, 25% at 2B and 50% at 3B would get him to 138 starts.

they need lopex on the bench
to use in double-switches. he’ll be the double-switch guy 90% of the time

I think he should be starting pretty much when possible

OT: Hilarious wikipedia edit on Bengie Molina's article
However, at 5’11" and weighing 315 pounds, Molina is regarded as one of the slowest baserunners in the game. After many tests, scientists from the Elias Sports Bureau confirmed that Molina’s body mass has it’s own gravitational force that draws the baseball closer to his bat, thereby increasing his batting average.

2004 had APu, JEd, Scotty, MattyMo
with Reggie, Larry, Good Izzy, and Matheny & Yadi as a bonus
and some guy named Carpenter
it will probably always be my all-time favorite team
but this one is pretty fucking awesome

Go Cards!
C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!
