congrats to either todd wellemeyer or adam wainwright on winning the 2008 nl cy young

Mark Prior should can his agent. If he would have signed with St. Louis is there any doubt how much different this year would have went for him?

Did anybody else hear the stupidity that just came out of Steve Phillips' mouth on ESPN during the Twins/Yankees game? In the top of the 8th with one out Jeter singled and tried to stretch it into a double and was thrown out. Abreu then grounded out to end the inning. So fast forward to the ninth inning when A-Rod leads off with a single, to which Phillips says this

 

Well that is why Cuddyer throwing out Jeter at 2nd in the top of the 8th was such a huge play. If he hadn't done that, A-Rod's single would have driven him in.

 

So apparently Arod singling in that AB was a predetermined outcome and would have happened even if Joe Nathan wasn't the one pitching to him and even if he was batting with a base open, 2 outs, and a tie game as opposed to leading off an inning trailing by one.

Not to mention that if Jeter had stopped at first, ARod's single wouldn't have driven him in.

They used Ankiel to start the inning, so all they had on the bench was Kennedy, Ryan, and LaRue. They were kinda hosed no matter what.

Down here they're bitching about LaRussa letting Schumaker hit in the 8th against a lefty with guys on 1st and 3rd. Probably a bad move considerin he's hitting .208 this year against lefties.

No way. LaRussa never makes bad moves.
