MLB Thread Number 3, 2007

Cards are losing 13-0 today. Going to be a miserable year for them.

 

Same thing happened here. Phils-Giants are supposed to be on Fox, but local Fox stationed is blacked out.

 

How can you not be excited by another great Yanks-Mariners game

At least I get the chance at work to watch the Mets kick the shit out of the D-Backs again tonight

 

I am a Cardinals fan. There I admitted it. I was just thinking about this today...

- Manager arrested for drunk driving

- Encarnacion hurt in spring training

- Carpenter injured on opening night. Now out for three months with elbow surgery.

- Pujols, Rolen, Edmonds all slump in April

- Kip Wells = last year's Jason Marquis

- Wainwright goes from unhittable closer to pedestrian starter

- Eckstein looks like what he is; a tiny white man with no pop and no arm

- Cards 'ace' is a RELIEVER

- Off to worst start since 1992

- Josh Hancock dies in a drunk driving accident after careening headlong into a tow truck while talking on his cell phone, speeding, and apparently stashed WEED under his seat.

Wow.

At least last year was good.

 

You guys sold your souls for last year. Thought it at the time. Know it now.

Oh, and if you happen to run into your third baseman, tell him to fuck himself for me.

/two Cards die in five years and neither of them were that guy

 

Unlike a lot of Cardinal fans, I don't drink the Kool-Aid.

LaRussa is an ass.

Jocketty has gotten lucky on some guys. Eckstein. Carpenter. Weaver. Walker. Spezio. Etc. Etc.

And, the World Series wasn't destiny. Their pitchers got hot. Especially the bullpen.

That being said, I'm in my early 20s and may not see another ring for a long time. So, I don't apologize for enjoying the ride.

 

744!

 

Sweeeeeeet!

 

You want to push Rollins all the way down to fifth? He's been their best hitter all year. Better to have him third and get him more at-bats.

I agree with trying Victorino in the lead-off spot, just to move Rollins down. Maybe put Utley second, where he has always thrived. Keep Howard fourth, because the Phillies are screwed if he doesn't get it going anyway.

Put Rowand fifth, ahead of Burrell, at least as long as he stays hot. And hope Burrell starts providing some power in the six spot.

 

I am not sure any human being can take 744 injections of anything.

 

Wang is throwing a perfect game through five innings.

 

Ryan Theriot drew three walks today. He's still hitting .320.

He hit .358 in 53 games last year.

Start him at short. Every day. Please. Other than D. Lee's ridiculous .496 obp, few in that lineup get on base enough.
