we should hand out towels.

I've been wondering around for the past couple of weeks.
You know helping people out with towel safety and proper towel use. It’s important.

Ahh, Baseball…
How I have missed you.
Hey yall, Ive been lurking all off season trying to get everything back in order after the burglary. Good to see some familiar faces…err, names around here.
Go Cards, Go!
C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!
Sigh, how I love you, Opening Day.
I think the absence of baseball during the winter is the root cause of my seasonal affective disorder.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.
I've been so sucked into this game, I've missed lunch and didn't even realize it.
BRB.
I never would slip you Mickey! It is merely rhinoceros horn. This makes the champagna bubble.
I was on the radio earlier
did Carp return some scuffed balls?

a famous story about satchel paige.
he was playing a white semi-pro team when a racist taunt came from the dugout of the opponents. paige waived the players in. they played in on the dirt. he kept waving until all seven fielders were sitting on the ground in a circle around the pitcher’s mound.
then paige struck out the next three batters.

Let's make a pledge here . . .
No Motte on opening day. Okay? Is that fair?
Do you remember Straight "A" tickets to the Cardinals game from way back when?
MOTTE
ERA= sideways 8
Chuck Norris doesn't need a bat.
he just roundhouse kicks the ball out of the park.
Been awhile...so I forgot...
Is this where we go nuts against the bullpen?
I don't often comment, but when I do, I only comment on VivaElBirdos.
well
looks like the bullpen anxiety starts early this year. Off to Sam’s after thegame to pick up a gross of Tums, unless someone on here wants to get me a Valium Rx
Anybody else see what Shaun Marcum(!) is doing in Texas?
Cards, Colts, and Pacers - Baseball, football, and basketball or gambling, guns, and old cars?
And we are lucky it's not 2nd and 3rd with one out.
Throw should have gone to third.

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?

For effin fisk and others who were asking about the "meme" thing in the last thread
This is what everyone is referring too:
http://www.vivaelbirdos.com/2009/12/30/1225498/2009-memes-that-should-stay-in-2009
I don’t think "rules" is the right term for them but there was a time when the site was being overcome by the inane memes. That’s generally subsided since that fanpost. It’s not an advocacy against inside jokes or whatnot but it was an appeal for leaving some of the more dated ones behind.
Think; It's not illegal yet.
And finding new ones that will slowly get old.

Heyward has T.I.’s “What You Know” as his walkup music? I like him more and more.

is just as acceptable an answer

I know it's only the first game of the season
but I love seeing the Cubs lose.
They always have the loss column.
Testicle-exploding shit storms, to date: T.E.S.S '08, T.E.S.S '09
Samardzija
Who struck out Pujols the first time facing him. And when asked what that felt like responded with “who?” Now has a 108.00 ERA.
Uggggggh
So I got to New Orleans and then mlb.tv doesn’t work. As I am trying to fix it I see the freaking score before getting to see the game.
Oh well, looks like it went pretty well.
but they're ahead in the loss column
wait…I might be doing this wrong

poor rick.
i don’t have any wish for him to do badly. i just wanted him not starting games for us.

hope he turns it around somehow
but sometimes it seems like he closes his eyes while he swings or something.

I would be watching but stupid mlb.tv keeps declining my payment even though I clicked on the verify button
and I checked to make sure that I have enough money on my card, and it does. it worked last year, I don’t get what the deal is.

I know he grounded out to 2B. Do not know whether it was grounded weakly.

Well, I solved the dual-monitor full screen thing with Macs with mlb.tv
Just go up to settings, and where it says “Full Screen” check “dual-monitor”
This makes my life so much better

Morning from Bangkok, CN
Great way to open the season!! Still see Izzy in Franklin. Not a pretty vision. How long will Frazzy be allowed to raise the collective blood pressure of VEB to the level of the national debt?
As ever throughout the season, if any of the CN comes this way, first beverage of choice is on me. . .
