Miller says: "Derrek Lee was leading (the Triple Crown) until a couple of days ago."

 

No, he was leading until the earlier games today.

this game is going on mute. the commentary is absolute worthless.

 

I would do that, but the remote is too far away from the nice comfortable rolly chair at my computer. It doesn't roll well on carpet. :P

 

that's what girlfriends are for. :wink:

 

...or boyfriends in Edmunds case (not that there's anything wrong with that!)

 

quick, someone pat me on the backside. :cry:

Exactly. Must we hear about Bonds on every ESPN Sunday Night game????? He isn't even playing this year.

Morgan talking about the triple crown, after they show the graphic of who was leading in all three categories the latest in the season: "I thought Sheffield had a legitimate shot. he was leading in batting average..." Edited July 25, 2005 by sethuel1

We're not bashing. We're just poking fun at him.

Since I'm in a rambling mood.

 

On why Boog did not get signed by the Cards in '59 (before the drafting era).

 

STL despite having more money and better connections w/Powell lost on negotiating w/him b/c of a coin flip w/Balt!

 

The Cards had a scout by the name Whitey Reis who had become close to the Powell family throughout the '59 season, there was tourney and Powell performed horribly and most teams left disappointed, except two were still serious & would still offer significant money (STL/Balt). STL had more money at that time and better relations with their family, this was known by Jim McLoughlin (farm director) and he knew there was two teams left. He mentioned he did not want to get into a bidding war w/STL and STL did not want to either. Before the coin flip, Balt. would have committed to spending 60-75K for Powell (which STL would have surpassed). Reis flipped the coin, the O's called tails, it landed tails and it became a one team bidding war. Instead of spending 75K or more to get Powell, without the bidding war the O's signed him for 25K.

Um, actually, no.

[Brian]

Prior is not getting alot of close pitches

[sethuel1]

I like how Jon Miller has noted that neither Pujols nor Lee walk that much when they're both in the top 20 of the NL in walks.

[katway]

Cards always do a lot with lead off walks. We need a DP.

Prior is not getting alot of close pitches

 

Who's the home plate ump?

[sethuel1]

Yes. the Willie Mays player of the year award. Aka the award that should be the MVP if people like you didn't screw up the vote, Joe.

[Edgeman187]

He's getting the outside strike.

[Blueheart05]

Prior is not getting alot of close pitches

 

In all honesty, he's been too wild to get the benefit of the doubt.

[Brian]

Close big Jimmy.

My bad. Edmunds can game. He's my Rodman...I hate him, but I want him on my squad. Eye shadow too.
