Story on the Pujols/La Russa/Rasmus mess
at Yahoo. Be forewarned it was written by Jeff Passan, and rumor has it he’s an asshat.
That's no rumor.
Asshattery: it's an epidemic.
Second base….I’ve played second base, how hard can it be? -TLR
Also, Dave Concepcion.
is it good?
I don’t want to a read anything by that asshat if it’s not neccesary.

it's just regurgitation.
Nothing new.

Basically he says if TLR leaves, so will the Mang

Pujols said how much TLR
has meant to him developing as a player and person, and he hoped he could play his whole career for him. Same thing he’s said for 5 years now.

and i'm sure if larussa quits
albert’s world will crumble and he will retire
give him the benefit of the doubt
..i miss ludriguez-wick..
It has a quote from La Russa I don't remember seeing before, although the gist of it isn't that
shocking. "My favorite team is the team that has a nice mix. You have some veterans and some young guys who are enthusiastic. They don’t get hurt as much. They want to learn. They don’t have all the answers. I enjoy the young players. If you have a totally young club, you’re probably going to be at a competitive disadvantage at some point because you’re learning to lose games. Experience is an equalizer."
Also a quote from Albert about how awesome TLR is, a rehash of run-ins TLR has had with other players (Rolen, Drew, Edmonds – how come nobody mentions Kerry Robinson anymore…?), and more speculation about how it will be hard for the Cards to field a competitive team with so much salary locked up in Holliday, Pujols (assuming he re-signs), and Wainwright and/or Carp.

without reading the story, and just reading the headline
does that mean if larussa retires, pujols is going to retire?

for real
the only thing more disappointing than missing the playoffs is missing them while your competition is trying to hand you the spot
we would have been only 2 games behind
but nooooo… why win when we can embarrass ourselves instead
..i miss ludriguez-wick..
I've said that a lot this season
It’s true, but it sure gets tiring to repeat that and some variation of, we have shit timing.

I thought he gave a lot of insight on how people close to the team see TLR and why we have sucked. Really some good commentary on the state of the team.

Screw al
I love how he believes that albert can do no wrong. Brendan had a legitimate shot at throwing him out and had Albert vacated the bag to catch the ball there wouldn’t have been a problem. All al seems to do is regurgitate whatever he hears “all Colby tries to do is pull the ball” and so on.
On a side note Albert seems to not give a shit about anything. He may be hurt but at least show some effort.

that the Cardinals are a bad team, not a good team squandering an opportunity. That makes me feel better. And if Garcia and/or Wainwright struggle, this team really is bad.

Not really
The loss side is just another way of looking at it. Yes the team with the most wins wins the division. But the team with the fewest losses does too. The Reds have played one more game than the Birds – and lost it.

Yeah I think the hi-def wide screen TVs
have really hurt sports attendance.
Another thing I think that has hurt Cincinnati Reds attendance is the constant construction on I-75 between Dayton (where a large number of Reds fans come from) and Cincy. It’s a nightmare to drive that stretch of highway.

Still trying to wrap my brain around the fact that Wainwright has 10 losses this year,
including four in his last four starts. I realize wins/losses aren’t the best measure of a pitcher’s performance (although he certainly hasn’t been great the last several starts), but I still find it surprising.
How many runs did Waino receive in support during that losing streak. . . ?

Good show, TBender. Putrid support has to affect the way you pitch as well. In short, team scored more today than in the time Waino pitiched over the four losses.

HL Mencken
Not pretty, needless to say
2-3-2-1 against Wolf, Maholm, Lannan, and Wood. The only decent pitcher was the last one, so the offense really shit the bed. On the other hand, Wainwright had a 6 ERA against two of the worse offenses in the NL (Pitt and Wash) during that stretch, so he wasn’t exactly on fire. Still, he obviously deserved better if W/L is supposed to be a meaningful stat….

Yeah, it's not a rational thing, and I know it doesn't comport with modern baseball stats
It’s more a gut-level reaction to seeing a guy who’s pitched as well as he has this year losing 10 games (see Roger Clemens, 2005). Doesn’t really mean much, just a weird stat.

I can't remember
But I’m pretty sure it was a typo of the phrase “Albert or Stan” and then somebody pointed out that it looked like the name of a country somewhere in the Asian steppe.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.

Good, now I can forget about my feeble attempts to do the same. I’m sure your version will be much better than I could have done.

NL historians
when was the last classic collapse down the stretch? The one that I vaguely remember was several years ago, perhaps 5-10? I know the Mets melted down once, but I am thinking Phillies? I keep on repeating the mantra, Cincinatti will melt down, Cards will rise. Please.

lost a little respect for Cox tonight
just got to the 6th inning, and seeing him IBB Pujols down 5 in the 6th inning was the epitome of cowardice.
At least Rasmus made him pay.
Well the girls would turn the color of the avocado when he would drive down the street in his El Dorado... -the modern lovers
dont blame cox too much
it set up a dp and braves brought in a lefty for jay and colby from the ’pen
i wouldve done the same thing…its pretty automatic, textbook
but you never know albert should always be ready for this:
