Astros are up 5-0 on the Rangers.

 

And the Rangers just got back to back homers. 5-3 :)

tampa bay has walked jason larue and cesar izturis a combined 5 times today... they don't deserve to win

That's a good thing to see. No lead is ever safe in Texas.

Kerry Wood shuts the soap dropping door! SHAM CLOSER

 

Can somebody explain the soap dropping thing? Where did it come from?

 

Prison.

I don't remember where the Cubs part comes in though.

 

The prison part was obvious. I was wondering how it got started on this board.

The two together can be a deadly combination.

Ok, I see.

[Soul]

Great. The Cards now have 2 on 1 out because of another lucky junk hit by Izzy.

[chuckywang]

Cards have men on 1st and 2nd, no outs in the bottom of the 9th.

[Soul]

...and schumaker wins it. what a joke.

[TruffleShuffle]

the cardinals should never sign another big-ticket free agent, ever. just sign minor league free agents and watch them blossom into superstars.

[cubs121]

and the Cardinals win it.

Hell yeah. Why bother when you can sign these bozos and have them turn up gold every damn time?

:x :x :x :x :x :x

[splintersag]

Darn, I hate the Cardinals so much.

f aprostrophe n was censored to become "I Dropped the Soap!" It made no grammatical sense when a part of sentences, i.e. I hate the I Dropped the Soap! Cardinals. So I started purposely writing it so that it made sense. i.e. I hate the soapdropping Cardinals. It's to my knowledge the only thing of "value" I've done here in the past 4 years.

[UMFan83]

I don't see why we are complaining about Ludwig. I mean what was Soto's minor league line until last year? I bet Cardinals fans are saying the same thing about him.

I believe this phrase originated at the end of the 2007 season/playoffs.

[SouthSideRyan]

Ludwick is 29, and OPSing .100 points higher than Geo.

[Soul]

It makes one wonder if they aren't somehow cheating ala the Patriots. I can understand catching lightning in the bottle but they've got 3, 4 guys like that every single year. No other team in the majors can hope for more than 1 guy like that in maybe a 2 or 3 year span. Seriously, it's ridiculous.

 

And no, LaRussa is not just that damn good. Nobody is *that* good.

[RynoRules]

:x :x :x :x :x :x

 

I see - you are upset b/c the Cubs won and they failed to trade Soriano and Lee.

you mean aside from the roids?

[VanceJergins]

Soto is 5 years younger and had a great season in AAA. Luckwick has never been more than an average minor leaguer at the age of 30.

 

Edit: Ludwick did have a good year in AAA a couple years ago, but still a good amount older than Soto.

Blame TB for this one, they should've swept. Horrible base-running yesterday and more mental mistakes today combined with walking hitters that should have almost as many DFAs as teams played.
