Brewers @ Cards 6:05 ESPN - 7/21 Other Games

[E.J.]

It's extremely difficult listening to Steve Phillips.

It's extremely difficult listening to Steve Phillips.

 

A little part of me died inside when he started talking about "talent players" v. "effort players"

Agreed. This game is harder for me to watch knowing one group of trolls will be on their way to NSBB regardless :eek:

On Sportscenter before the game, he said "The Cardinals believe in themselves, and that's all that matters."

 

I'm sure the Royals believe in themselves, why aren't they in a pennant race? Hell, the Reds had to be believing after Dusty got hired, where are they?

[E.J.]

They're trying to compare Weeks and Durham to chess pieces. I'm going to kill myself.

[CubsBears29]

McClung's tipping his pitches. Nice.

[Outshined_One]

Kendall had a nice throw, but McClung completely ignored the runner.

 

Where did Kendall's arm strength come from?

[chitowngui]

I do not think the Royals have believed in themselves since 1985. :lol:

Not sure about the arm strength, but supposedly Yost was the one who caught the problem with Kendall. I don't know if this was known or not, but I just heard it today.

[Bote McBoteface]

The best case scenario is for the Cards to sweep while we sweep the Dbacks and for Sheets to stub his toe in the process and wind up on the 60 day DL.

Phillips is talking about the Cardinals starting pitcher win % as a reason why they might not need another pitcher in the rotation come the trading deadline. Pretty obvious why this guy isn't a GM anymore. :banghead:

LOL that sounds just like Cardinal fan rheortic to me. :lol:

[chitowngui]

The funny thing is he is probably right.. .or they will just pick up Jeff Weaver again to be their world series ace.

Wow... Piniero getting ripped apart.. 4 straight hits and its 3-2

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

3 run homer for Weeks.

 

Weeks says, "Take that Ray Durham."

I might be the only person who still has Rickie Weeks on their fantasy team. And yes I started him tonight.

Last night I was driving home from Michigan and listening to the ESPN feed on XM for the Angles/Red Sox and I thought I was going to have some road rage listening to "Soup" Campbell. He was second guessing both Francona and Soscia. And his second guesses were pathetically stupid.

[Friendly Confines]

Chris Duncan is awful in left field.

[chuckywang]

Chris Duncan is awful in left field.

 

You were saying?

[nilodnayr]

Woah Woah Woah...wasnt that just Steve Phillips ripping on the Mets for trading Kazmir for Zambrano, when in fact HE was the one who made that trade?!?!?!?!? He said "the mets" and "they", not "I".

[Bote McBoteface]

Haha, Phillips just said that teams like the Braves have to be careful because they could do something like trade Scott Kazmir for Victor Zambrano then fall out of the race.

 

But seriously...Kazmir for Victor Zambrano is kind of a stretch. Nobody is that dumb....oh wait.

[NonProfitCow]

Woah Woah Woah...wasnt that just Steve Phillips ripping on the Mets for trading Kazmir for Zambrano, when in fact HE was the one who made that trade?!?!?!?!? He said "the mets" and "they", not "I".

That was Jim Duquette

Anybody with half a brain knows that trade was a huge mistake.

No you aren't :D

 

And despite his suckiness, Weeks is the 15th best 2nd baseman according to yahoo rankings. He has an incredible number of runs, which just happens to be my biggest need. And also like 18 million trades for every other decent 2b in the league I've proposed have been rejected.

Duquette made that deal, it was a year after Phillips was fired.
