  1. Unless the Tigers start working the count and stop being so aggressive, they are going to be in trouble tonight. Exactly the kind of lineup Suppan does well against. I'm thinking pitcher's duel tonight.
  2. *Announcement* he was pitching against the tigers lineup, which has decided it would be fun to be horrible Yeah but it happened.
  3. *Announcement* Christ Carpenter had zero counts where he threw more than two balls to a batter.
  4. Baseball Tonight just showed stills of him in the DS, CS, and tonight. He had the same mysterious "dirt spot" on his hand. How dumb can you be? It's the World Series, put it on your stinking glove or hat or something.
  5. Beckett? Koufax, Gibson, Ford, Johnson/Schilling, and many more I'm sure.
  6. You're just afraid that a rag tag pitching staff will keep Hendry from signing Mussina.... :D Then again, a STL win will mean more guys like Weaver. yuk, but did you see the catch that edmonds made in game 4? Edmonds4Life.
  7. This is my dilemma. Oh shut up. There should be no dilemma for you. Well we can't all run away from our baseball team in their most crucial time just to go on some romantic vacation to Spain and Morocco. Ass.
  8. Pujols hasn't gotten a pass from the St. Louis media. Bernie Miklacz and Bryan Burwell in particular have criticized his poor loser mentality. It just hasn't gotten coverage because national media doesn't pay attention to St. Louis clubhouse rumblings.
  9. He seems to be a good guy, just a sore loser.
  10. I don't how this got into racism and the hypocrisy of the Cardinals org, but my point is that Michael Jordan is a jerk, Tiger Woods is a jerk, Ted Williams was a jerk, etc etc. I really don't care if people like him, as long as Albert is breaking laws, rules, or doing something loathesome (racism) I don't really care how nice he is to the media. As long as he keeps putting up insane offensive production he can be a douche to whoever he wants, especially considering he is by all accounts a positive clubhouse influence, a good man in the community and not a criminal.
  11. That's what you get for not starting Haren in game 2 let alone not starting him in game 3.
  12. What on earth does this have to with Pujols? Unless you are saying rude to media = racist klansman. Just because a slighted journalist put it an article doesn't make it relevant.
  13. lol, yeah, it would be fine with me if Ortiz did it as well.
  14. There was a thread about this earlier this year that was about 40 pages long. My conclusion: Unfortunately many players pose after homeruns. Cubs fans hate Albert because he is historically good so they use this against him even though it is hypocritical to complain about him and not Ramirez or Jones posing and bat flipping. Or Zambrano's gesticulations. Most reasonable people don't care as long as it doesn't get out of hand. I know I don't. After all, if anyone should think he is better than the pitcher he just took yard, it should be the best hitter in baseball.
  15. :lol: link to this?
  16. That and the old age. He is getting grumpy in his later years.
  17. He does lots of charity work and we should genuflect before him. Seriously, Albert is a hyper competitive person. He can be a huge dick when he is struggling. I don't see why this is something A) shocking, B) to be ashamed of, or C) a bad thing. I like Albert Pujols because he is an incredibly hitter and he plays on my favorite team. I could care less whether the New York Media likes him. This isn't the first time they've done a hatchet job on somebody who gives them the cold shoulder. If I had just gotten shut out and gone through one of the longest hitless streaks of my career, in the playoffs no less, I wouldn't want to talk to them either. Then again, I can be a huge dick sometimes. I'd actually like Albert less if he was willing to be Mr. Sunshine right after a huge loss.
  18. I'm sorry guys. Just one thing. If he trys to start the game with the closer again, try not to crash this board. It's a good board and I like coming here.
  19. Don't worry about it.
  20. I didn't word that part well. The faceoffs were definitely a big problem on the PK.
  21. The faceoffs are a separate issue, but the PK and goaltending needs the defensemen to clear the front of the net. The Blues have more size up front than a lot of teams (Tkachuk, Guerin) but those passing lanes were wide open up front all game. That move Havlat put on Wideman for his second goal was gorgeous. So much speed and finesse. I didn't know he was only 25. He is going to be a superstar.
  22. The Blackhawks defense is TERRIBLE in front of the net. Maybe not all year, but tonight they were just plain bad. My Blues were getting rebound after rebound and passing through the slot at will.
  23. ESPNNews now saying 4 dead including Lidle, observers say plane was erratic before crashing. Jeremy Schaap says Lidle was alone in the plane. He also said apartment inhabitant was the only other fatality. Hopefully it was only 2.
