Running 2011 Baseball Thread, Vol. I: Dedicated to spnited

Phillies had a 7-game series vs. the Giants in last year's NLCS and couldn't win either. Deal with it. Maybe the Phillies aren't that good?

 

I assume you're just as outraged about the Yankee loss.

 

In the NLCS, shit's gettin' real.

When it was suggested to St. Louis rightfielder Lance Berkman that there is a general perception that the Cardinals and Brewers don’t like each other, he bluntly replied, “And that’s correct.”

Right-hander Zack Greinke, who will start Game 1 for the Brewers on Sunday afternoon at Miller Park, certainly did nothing to quell the bitterness when asked if the clubs genuinely dislike each other.

“Maybe now,” he said. “I think no one really likes (Chris) Carpenter. Besides that, I think (the Brewers) respect mostly everyone on their team.”


Tony did not like.

 

AP alert just moved: torn Achilles for Howard.

 

And baseball's weather forecasters strike again ...

 

Which means even if he has a perfectly on-time recovery, he'll barely be ready for the 2012 regular season.

Who do the Phillies go after as a stop-gap?

 

Pujols.

 

Fuck Tony.

 

“Very disappointed that Greinke would say that. I don’t know him a lot but I always thought he was a high character, classy guy,” said La Russa, a convicted drunk driver who earlier this season ordered his closer to bean Ryan Braun (twice), accused Brewers management of stealing signs and manipulating stadium lighting, and referred to the Milwaukee fan base as "idiots".

 

Awesome.

 

"Classy":

"High character":

 

Would be great to see the Clubhouse Lawyer flushed into a stupor in this series.
