Wow. This is gonna be called.

 

I hate Pujols, Ankiel, Ryan, LaRussa, Edmonds, Rolen, Encarnacion... the last goes on.

I don't hate Rolen. Always thought he was a pretty good guy. Those other guys can go to hell though.

 

Pujols is about as good of a guy that you'll meet... still hate him.

I ahve actually heard the opposite. The media tried to make him out to be one, but he really isn't.

 

Wrong, I talked with him for about 5 minutes on opening day 2006 at Wrigley. He was extremely nice and signed autographs for about 15 minutes.

What so in five minutes you could make that decision? I know he has done nothing but be an ass the last few years in the media. Like crying about Howard winning the MVP last year because he didn't make the playoffs. No you are right Albert he had to play in a real division. Or when asked about his ex teammate Marquis pitching well against him, he threw Marquis under the bus and said he wasn't all that good. The guy is a jerk.

 

In 5 minutes he spent talking to me personally when most major league players won't give you the time of day especially at a visiting park (except David Weathers, he is a load of fun always).

This may work out well. Looking at the radar there's no reason they can't finish this game. But they might not be able to have Franklin return in the 7th.

Yup, I was just about to post this. Too funny. He doesn't sound like a happy camper.

In fairness to him, the MVP argument is a pretty divided one, and he voiced his opinion, which was biased in his own favor. What a jerk.

 

He also said Marquis isn't that good, which obviously has absolutely no ring of truth to it whatsoever. Again, what a jerk. These opinions were both on matters directly related to him. I'd say the pleasant five minute conversation with a stranger and 15 minutes of autographs for fans, regardless of their loyalty, says a lot more about him than those expressed opinions.

Yeah that really isn't true either. I go to games all the time in Kansas City and most players will talk to you. Justin Verlander signed for me this year and talked with me about his no hitter. Barry Zito signed for me and joked with me for a good 5 minutes about the Cubs being my favorite team. He even brought over Haren and Haren said that he was a Cub fan now that the Cardinals gave up on him.

I'm not sure he was on the air, Gameday audio doesn't air commercials so you can hear everything going on b/n innings.

anyone else hear pat hughes just yell "dammit" on gameday audio?

 

yep - he knows like the rest of us, this game is over

 

I think he's more concerned about waiting around forever and delaying the flight to San Francisco, which just makes for an even longer night.

That's game over, alot of rain headed that direction. This game will be called. Cardinals win :(

 

Except if it gets called at this point it's a suspended game. With the Cubs losing the full inning would have to be completed for it to be a final.

 

That's not true. The Cardinals had the lead at the end of 6, and the Cardinals have the lead now. If the game is called, the game is over with the Cardinals winning 5-4 in 6 innings.

 

I'm definitely not liking that rule. If the home team is losing they should get the same # of at-bats as the visiting team received.

You keep saying this but you're wrong. Look at the radar.

What are you guys basing the "Ankiel cocaine" jokes on? I've never once heard that he had cocaine problems?

 

Are you confusing him with Hamilton?

 

I know Rick's father had problems with drugs, but I've never heard about Ankiel himself having drug problems.

 

^^

 

Bump?

Well what else is there to do in KC?

In fairness to him he could have tipped his cap to both guys, you know like a professional. You really think that is how DLee would have answered either of those questions?
