9/13 St Louis @ Cincinnati [Other Game(s)] Thread; 11:35a

[Soul]

Look at Brad Thompson's picture on Gameday (Cards) and tell me that's not a woman trying to look like man.

How in the great blue sea does Kip Wells give up SIXTEEN baserunners in less than 5 innings and only give up 5 runs?

[CubsBears29]

Ouch....... 400 people attended the Nats/Marlins game yesterday... that musta been a real madhouse of fan activity. :shock:

What do they mean "only 400 showed", its a freaking sell-out!!

 

Although, why everyone showed up dressed like empty seats I'll never figure out.

The Cards lineup sans Pujols might be one of the worst since the days of Baylor...

How does a player mentally prepare themself to play in front of nobody, in mid-September?? You don't deserve a MLB franchise, south Florida.

And yet, they've had the thrill of two WS, it's unbelievably unfair.

400 seems pretty generous.

- Do the vendors even bother to show up?

- Do TV stations waste their time, or would they just make like WGN and show reruns of Moesha instead?

- It would be awesome to show up and either cheer at the top of my lungs for the home team, or heckle the crap out of the visitors and umpires for three hours straight.

- Maybe the owner has been losing on purpose in order to drive attendance down, get out of the stadium contract, and move the team to Cleveland.

 

Haha, that's awesome.

 

 

Fredi Gonzalez: [at a team meeting] Can I have your attention, please?

[picks up a bat and leans on it like a walking stick]

Fredi Gonzalez: I have something I think you all ought to know about.It seems that the owner doesn't think too highly of our worth. He put this team together because he thought we'd be bad enough to finish dead last, knocking attendance down to the point where he could move the team to Cleveland... and get rid of all of us for better personnel.

Sergio Mitre: Even me?

Fredi Gonzalez: Even you, Serg.

Dan Uggla: What if we DON'T finish last?

Fredi Gonzalez: He'll REPLACE you with somebody who WILL. After this season, you'll be sent back to the minors or given your outright release.

Dontrelle Willis: [D-Train stands up] Well then I guess there's only one thing left to do.

Hanley Ramirez: What's that?

Dontrelle Willis: Win the whole bleep thing.

[long pause]

Miguel Cabrera: [Miguel stands up] Dude we're already mathematically eliminated.

Dontrelle Willis: I got nothin'.
