  1. For the record, I predicted 4 out of 5 with the Cards like 2 weeks ago
  2. I think that's quite obviously true...but...who's our backup SS? Are we going to rely on Fontenot/Derosa as out-of-position backups? We did it most of the year. There's only room for one position player to be tomfooleried in. The potential playoff roster seems pretty locked to me. The 8 starters + Murton, Monroe, Pie, Fontenot, Ward, Soto, then the 4 starting pitchers + Wuertz, Wood, Eyre, Howry, Marmol, Dempster. The only real alternative I could see would be a lefty in place of Wuertz, but I kinda doubt it based on how Lou's pitched Ohman since coming back.
  3. I think I'd go with Eyre for Ankiel, then bring in Demp.
  4. Remember in '03 when our designated pinch runner was Dave Kelton? Kelton wasn't even fast, it was bizarre. Nice rip Felix.
  5. By similar reaction, Len means he yells soap drop. Anywho, Soto wins that race easily.
  6. Mt. Carmel 35 - 19 over St.Rita. :lol: I'm a Rice guy, so I was rooting for a stadium collapse. Well, not really true I like Rita way more than Carmel.
  7. In the interest of fairness, Kendall may have run that pop up down. Also why Howry for Marmol? Either bring in Eyre for the lefty or leave in Marmol. I really don't get this move.
  8. Why does Miguel Cairo hit against us? He's bad.
  9. Yeah bunting was dumb dumb dumb there. Also, I obviously wasn't happy to see it, but it was hard to not see the humor in Kendall making an error on the throw to first on the dropped 3rd strike after the fuss that was raised over my innocent comment in the game 1 thread yesterday.
  10. ESPN, Sportsline, Fox Sports all ftw.(free stattracker)
  11. Nice work today Jason. Especially glad to see that arrogant prick Pujols get nothing off of you.
  12. What separates Piniella and other top managers is they are a step ahead of the rest of the league and fans. Lou is managing the team as if they are going to the playoffs, the only way to manage, so he is riding his veterans and insisting on those others in roles do their job. in the playoffs Z and Lilly will be asked to pitch on three days rest anyway...so he is seeing what he's got and this way he has both Trachsel and Marshall ready for a long relief anyway. Unless Lou goes to a 3 man rotation, Lilly and Z won't be pitching on 3 days rest.
  13. osu took some cheap shots at tebow in the nc. Who wouldn't? Just look at him, I'd love to hit him in the face given the chance.
  14. So what happens tomorrow with a day game after night game? Kendall on the short turnaround? Soto again? The corpse of Henry Blanco?
  15. 1 out of 30. Reinsdorf, and even that's really just what Selig wants too, so basically 0 out of 30. So, 29 out of the 30 owners have to approve? No my point is the owners will approve/deny what Selig wants. It's a dictatorship. There's a few that will vote on their own (Steinbrenner, maybe Angelos), but it's not enough to overcome what Bud wants.
  16. Notre Dame's offensive line was what I was most concerned about heading into the year, and I look rather correct, they are in a word pathetic. And I hate the crap offensive lines take because they almost never get credit for being good, but good Lord they're terrible. I pity the Notre Dame defense, they've been on the field the whole damn game.
  17. Looking at ND's schedule, they'll be lucky to win oneto 3 games this year. The only shot the have is aganist Navy, Air Force, and Duke. Stanford's worse than Navy and Air Force.
  18. Juice FTW (maybe in 2 years) (probably not) Kellen Lewis has shown me more than Williams. Madness.
  19. I really was not confident at all down 2-1 in the 8th, despite what Len said I should be thinking. Thanks Sori. Thanks Ted, Kerry, Carlos, and Ryan. Thanks Cliff. Thanks Sam for not getting picked off.
  20. Way to all be terrible Cardinals. amirite?
  21. Sports hernia, seems like you could take advantage of those pounding the outside corner.
  22. Soriano is a very good defensive OF, I'm not being sarcastic. But man, he makes it look ugly a lot.
