  1. The Giants are pretty good. Better than the Cards for sure. Speaking of the Cards, Matheny is in panic mode. Bourjus stopped hitting and they brought Shane Robinson back up. He got 1 AB with the game on the line and popped up. So they bring up a kid named Grichik and he goes Ofer....NOW they bring up the highly touted Oscar Tavares who will start this afternoon's game. All these things occured in the space of 3 days! So I guess if Oscar does not go 4 for 4 they will be right back were they started, with the near useless Jon Jay back in CF. (sigh)
  2. I've got him on 3 fantasy teams, just waiting...................I too am curious. Then we will both be watching.
  3. OK....both games are blowouts. (yawn) I'm heading out. FWI...word has it that Oscar Tavares was told to pack his bags and is headed for St Louis. After all the hype I'm very curious.
  4. Second that. I like hitting, stealing and bang bang plays at the plate. Pitching duels bore.
  5. You're quite a character Fielder X. Every forum needs one. (walk to the store)
  6. Your type is still legible. Carry on. Stils got couple bears to drinkses. Just two? Is there a convenence store nearby?
  7. LOL....if RR challenges there it would PROOVE he's a gamer.
  8. Last nite Matheny left Miller in 'till they had 7 ER too. I don't know about him. Did he have the relievers warm up before coming in? If so he's not to RR level yet, lol. No....it will be hard to top that one.

  10. Here you go, sir. Pizza's almost here, so I'll be leaving the bar open while I eat. I would prefer goose liver pate' with a side of Beluga.
  11. I'm in. Mr. Simmons, what can I get you? The first round is on me, even though Billy hasn't brought it up yet again. I feel you should be in the Hall of Fame! Nice leadoff hit, Rickie!!! I will have a dry Manhattan please. (no twist)
  12. I can't figure out how SF is doing so well. Their extremely marginal hitters have to come down to earth at some point. They have more homers than us... The announcer attributed it to very good 2 out hitting so far. (scored all 5 vs. Waino w/2 out)
  13. Cards down 5-0 to SF...thought I would watch this game instead.
  14. Mad, you have to consider it this way: When the Yanks/Sox were getting all the ESPN games the other teams that benefited most were Toronto, Baltimore and Tampa Bay as they play them the most. The Cards are a frugal team still blanching from the huge contract paid to Matt Holliday. It's a midwest mindset. You know they let Pujols go, and he was the face of the franchise. They would never pull a Steinbuner, no matter HOW fat they get. All Central teams benefit by the inordinate coverage the Cards are presently getting. And it will increase if the Brews and/or Reds stay relevant. (the Phoenix rising from the ashes story line of the Pirates seems to have gone with the wind)
  15. i'd care . . . especially if more than one team from the nl central advances. it means more revenue for those teams . . . revenue that they can spend in the winter to make themselves even better. is it not the case that the team with the best record in the league plays the wild card winner in the division series--unless they're in the same division? thus, each team in the nl central could potentially make it to the league championship series to face each other . . . meaning more revenue for each of them. That's what I told him on the 26th: "I feel differently. Until this year 90% of the national TV coverage went to NY, Boston and LA. That means revenue/payroll" It's a no brainer. Keep the bucks in the Central.
  16. The current playoff picture Giants..... 34-19 Brewers.. 32-22 Cardinals 29-24 Dodgers.. 29-25 Braves.... 28-24 Marlins.... 28-25 Rockies... 28-25 The Nats, Pads, Bucs and Reds are all 3 or more games behind Marlins/Rocks. No other team has a reasonable shot at this point. The Cards host the Giants tonite for a four game set. Hope to take 'em down a notch.
  17. Acually, ESPN has shown more Card games than any other team. MLB shows a ton of Yankee games. Angel games are shown on both networks more than the Dodgers, and Red Sox games are WAY down! But MLB had quite a lot to say about the Brews after the sweep of the Pirates and Bosox about the time I joined the forum. They have since tailed off, smelling a resurgence by the Cards, who are still sputtering on about 6 1/2 cylinders. The panel shows don't seem to know that the baseball season has started. It's all about the NBA playoffs, Johnny Manzel, that gay football player and the old fool Sterling. (about once a week there's a quick comment on Puig)
  18. I feel differently. Until this year 90% of the national TV coverage went to NY, Boston and LA. That means revenue/payroll! To my amazement that has all changed this year, and a big reason for that is the finish of the NL Central last year. ESPN and MLBTV must have gotten together and said: "OMG! A whole season with no ARod! What will we do with this mediocre team with no ARod?!!" "I know! And our fair haired Boy Pujols is toast! We still have Puig but he could crash into a wall or a tree (in his Lamborgini) at any moment, and his teamate, Blackbeard, is ailing! What will we do?" "Well, we could pretend to care about the superior teams in the colorless NL Central. The Cardinals have been to the post season a lot and do have a large, spread out fan base. We could spin the Pirates into a great rags to riches story. We could pretend that the Reds losing Choo and Arroyo didn't really happen!" Oh man, I could go on and on about this topic, but I'm tired of typing.
  19. Any site track how many calls each ump has had reversed? Last I heard 40% are overturned.
