  1. Worst slide of all time..... Thanks Corey.
  2. Dang. Hank White strikes out on three straight balls out of the strike zone.
  3. No, its sarcasim in the sense that somebody said "Prior sucks if he gives up a homer to Helton."
  4. Okay, ya I get it now. I thought he said it about Neifi first, but I guess it WAS Enrique. hahaha.
  5. Yah, I understand that Dusty said that, but why is it dubbed the "Enrique Principle.?"
  6. May I ask what the "Enrique Principle" is?
  7. Dude, Burny has been great this year man, he's saved us. Hes a veteran, he knows the inside and outside of the park. Hes been a heck of a player for us dude.
  8. On this weekly column..
  9. freaking stupid move. Why? WHY? We already have plenty of infielders, and a ton of outfielders. PLEASE dump Macias and Hollandsworth. Theres no need for them. I'm really disappointed in Hendry. Murton was playing perfectly fine against BIG LEAGUE pitchers.
  10. dumb rumor. If it happens, the Mets are dumber then I thought. They'll keep floyd.
  11. When do they end, and what are the specifics. We.Need.These.Guys.
  12. I'm not angry, I think it could be my posting style that comes off my way. I'm a natural born debater, I love a good natured debate, with information and opinion going back and forth. Sorry if I offended anybody.
  13. Why take away the Red Sox Champsionship? He'll be back in 10 days.
  14. getting shelled again tonight. Boy, glad we dropped his butt.
  15. I just think the Cards are in trouble. Period. I can't wait to see them face good pitching, and watch "J-Rod" flail at pitches.
  16. As a collective group, they did not show up. I look foward to seeing them this year. Not them, I mean Edmonds and Pujols. Game 1, Pujols was 0-3, Edmonds 1-4 Rolen 0-5 Game 2. Pujols 3-4, with 1 run. Edmonds 0-4 Rolen 0-3 Game 3 Pujols 1-4 Rolen 0-3 Edmonds 0-3 Game 4 Pujols 1-4 Rolen 0-4 Edmonds 0-4 In the World Series, there really wasen't any competition. They did NOT show up. When it counts, All-Star players have to earn their salary. They did not earn anything.
  17. No you really do care about how I feel. You're breaking down literally every word I've typed onto this forum, and trying to take the stance of Bill Nye the Science Guy. I stated in previous posts, and answered my own questions, that Carp has no postseason starts. I thought he squeezed in a year with the Blue Jays, but I am pretty uninformed when it comes to that particular team. Theres tons of star players that choke in the playoffs. In fact, the MAJORITY choke in the playoffs. Heros like D Lowe, are born. Often its the little guys that make things happen. Pujols, Edmonds, and Rolen didn't show up last year. The Yankee's stars didn't do too well. Even Manny had a stretch where he stunk it up. I think the White Sox have the advantage, in the fact that none of their bigger players have a whole lot of pressure on them. Somebody like ARod, or Pujols have huge expectations on their shoulders. I'll restate the thesis statement, that the Cards will not win. Theres really no need to break it down, and argue about it. Rolen's done for the year, the fork is halfway into them. Pretty soon their pitching staff will suffer an injury, and I'll be right come October.
  18. Thats one down for the Cards postseason run. Rolen won't be the only starter on the DL come playoff time.
  19. Personal attacks are not allowed. So I'd like it if you don't attack, but calmly describe your stance. I'll say this clearly. REGULAR SEASON MEANS NOTHING IN THE PLAYOFFS. It is well documented that many regular season stars, simply don't show up in the playoffs. In ALL of the sports leagues, many all-star players are not good clutch/playoff performers. Bottem line. Chris Carpenter has done NOTHING in the playoffs. So lets not say hes a playoff ace when he hasen't done anything. The Cardinals will not win this year. Thats my prediction. If you don't like it, then I'm sorry. If they win, I'll eat my crow, but as of right now, their team is very flawed with injuries and inconsistency.
  20. LOL! Here I'll do it again. LOL! Now show me stats to prove me wrong. I can be wrong, but unless somebody shows me statistics, then I'm not swayed. The Cardinal team, doesen't strike me as a clutch powerhouse kind of time. Cards talk is littered with Card fans calling for Pujol's head because he doesent do good in late innings, and at the end of the game when the Cards have RISP and he doesen't come through. They lost all the games in the NLCS AT Houston. Then they blew all the games in the World Series. If you ask me, I think Houston should have won the NLCS.
