God bless you Elijah Dukes.

The Nats announcers are as flabbergasted as we are with this.

add Mather to their hitting heroes. What a soapdropping joke.

Who the hell are Matt Worrell and Mike Parisi? Good question. The answer pitchers.

I can't see the Nats scoring again. 8 runs is a month for them.

Big suprise tonight. Hitting heroes tonight Skip Schumaker Aaron Miles Matt Worrell Mike Parasi

I have no doubt. I am betting on a Pujols pinch hit homer. His second of the day.

Will Nieves can't hit a deep enough ball to right ot get the run in. The same Will Nieves who walked off to right against us.

Team of destiny?

Mark Worrell hits a 3 run homer. Yep thats a Cardinals Bullpen guy.

I never said he shouldn't stick around, I said I hate seeing guys hang around too long. I never felt that way until Jordan came back after his second retirement. He went out on top after hitting the winning short for the 6th and last title. I can't think of another superstar who has ever had such a picturesque ending. It was the most beautiful way someone who transcended the game like Jordan did could wrap up his career. It was the only appropriate ending to such a stellar career. It was disappointing when he came back with another team and was unable to even come close to recapturing that. That doesn't mean that I didn't think he should come back, just that I hated seeing him come back unable to recapture the glory we expected from him. Fans have every right to hate seeing their heros sucking when they get old. Who here enjoyed watching Sandberg put up an OPS+ of 83 while failing to get to so many balls in the field that he used to make easily? That's also not to say I would have hated not getting another year of Ryno at the same time. Hating seeing someone hang around too long isn't the same as criticizing the player for playing as long as he's able. Let's not confuse the two. It seems to me that it comes from a fan's belief that they somehow own the player's legacy, that the player owes them something. I hate that attitude. If Jordan wanted to come back today to be the 12th man on the Bobcats, that'd be fine with me. You're not getting it. There wasn't any criticism of the player. Players develop a legacy with the fans. As a fan, it sucks to watch a guy you hold very highly put in a neifi-esque performance. I hated watching Sandberg suck in 97. I never said any players owed us anything, just that it sucked to watch the good ones look like Macias or Neifi when they're old. Or maybe you do get it, and you enjoyed watching Ryno stink in 97, I don't know.You can still enjoy it. They only thing that I didn't like about MJ coming back the second time is that it was with the wrong team. You know the NBA enjoyed it.

I can't even imagine life as a Cardinals fan. Crappy pitcher getting bombed, no don't take him out. Let him double in two runs to get back in the game. :thumbsup:

Come on Nieves, pretend like this is Howry.

So Ryan Theriot 2.0 No, Theriot wasn't a top 70 draft prospect. So a rich man's Ryan Theriot? Small, athletic, bad SS I thought 6'3" That's small to me.

Sweet, maybe we can show this to Pittsburgh and they will want to trade.

I think it is just the big bonus.

Melville is going to Chapel Hill, imo. Yeah, but we could pay him. Hell he is probably a better option than Jason Marquis right now and we are paying him big bucks.

Great a baseball player who is fundamentally sound. Or in other words, a guy without a bunch of talent.

Just pick Mellville.

Anyone here that plays softball, don't go anywhere. Wilken might like you with the comp pick.

I think the Detroit Free Press was suggesting the Tigers would take Cashner at 21. Yeah, but now they will get Melliville or the Illinois kid. They didn't think they would still be there.

All this means is now Detroit and Arizona get better getting better players cause we continue to screw up our drafts.

Look, I didn't want him at 19 either, but he was projected in the first. It's nothing insane. He's a reliever. With those other good arms out there, why would you take a reliever over them? Because once we started paying Tim Wilken, he used the money to buy and smoke crack rocks.

yeah for tim wilken. bum

God I hope so.
