It’s not too early to predict Angel Guzman for your 2005 Rookie of the Year. I can just smell a May call up.
Larry Rothschild says not pitching Mark Prior in front of…fans…is all part of a master plan.
New good stuff in our Hank White Fan Club sponsored feature, “I resent the inference…”
Jay Fielder? Do the Bears even have a helmet he can squeeze his ears into?
Bobby Gray’s back! It’s not like he lost his job to RW McQuarters or anything last year. Woof.
Dee Brown won the Big Ten Player of the Year award, the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year award, he and Luther Head and Deron Williams all made first team (the Mokena Flash, James Augustine was third team) and Bruce Weber won Coach of the Year. Was there anything else to win?
Mike Remlinger wants to be more than worthless this year. Hey, dream big.
Brian Dopirak is going to be good…someday.
What the hell is this? Major League Baseball is going to let the Giants use Barry Bonds and the Reds use Ken Griffey Jr. in home spring training games as DHs. WTF?
Mark McGwire doesn’t want to testify before Congress. Gee, I wonder why?
Ankiel to the OF.
12-18 Oakland won the Mid-Continent Tournament and a spot in the NCAA Tournament. They beat Oral Roberts. I thought Oral Roberts was in the Incontenent Conference? Oh, I kill me!
Thad Matta turned a lucky 25 foot heave into an eight-year contract. Not bad. Maybe now he can get that weird lump removed. Oh, wait, that’s his face. I’m not bitter. No. On top of it, the sumbitch is a Hoopeston Cornjerker!
Maybe George O’Leary can find a spot for Mike Tice at Central Florida?
Tom Verducci certainly has a high opinion of Tom Verducci, doesn’t he?
America’s finest news source says the President has finally announced an exit strategy for Iraq. Right through Iran.
Dude, Thea’s ok, but she ain’t no Campbell Brown.
That’s Ester to you, Sloth.
My favorite part of the ESPN ring incident was how raving Thorne became after finding out that the story was false, saying the writer should be fired and such. He was obviously more flustered that he had been made to look like a moron for talking up a false stroy than the the fact that the strory was false to begin with.
The Cardinals made the playoffs during the 2000 season. Just wanted to remind everyone of that.
We’re aware of it. They also had to hand out helmets to the fans who were sitting on the hay bales closest to home plate because Rick’s pitches were whizzing past them. Wouldn’t want any of them to lose their tooth.
Glad to see I’m not the only guy still insanely irritated by Dumpster’s inability to throw a goddamn strike to two banjo-hitting schlubs with the bases empty and a three run lead.
I’ll go out on a limb and say that inning pissed a lot of us off.
Yeah, but I’m so pissed I don’t think he deserves a shot at closing this year based on that one inning. I’m big on holding grudges, you could say.
Andy, they’re pronounced “teethes.” In the more urban (pop. 1200) counties, at least.
Kelly,
They’re only teethes if you have more than one of them.
Kelly, Busch Stadium is nothing more than a big concrete wok full of stir-fry inbreds marinated in Budweiser.
Which differs only subtly from the bleachers at Wrigley, but I digress…
Further investigation has revealed that the photo at the top of this column was taken from the on-deck circle near the first-base dugout.
MLB.com says Kerry Wood left his start while warming up for the third inning. He apparently called for a trainer and walked off the field. We need Angel to get ready and QUICK.
Also, I’m upset at Dempster and LaTroy and everybody else who was too tired or lousy to pitch in their place in that game and a lot of others last September. But the injuries to Prior and Wood taxed the entire staff to the point that a letdown was easy to predict. Add in Clements achy uterus after the All-Star Break and things got compounded even worse.
What bothers me is the lack of run support the pitchers had. I remember losses to Montreal, Cincy, the Mets… where the offense couldn’t produce an extra run or two to make leads a little more saveable.
That’s why I’m glad Moises and Sammy are gone. Go back and look how many times they struck out, popped out, grounded into double plays in those final, dreadful weeks.
I’m giving Dempster a pass for that one crappy game. It doesn’t ruin his season in my book, especially since he was just barely back from Tommy John rehab and was still more capable than Kyle F’ing Farnsworth. Dempster was off his game because he tore up his elbow and there’s no shame in that. Farnsworth was never on his game and was out because he kicked a stationary fan. Brilliant.
Andy, what you forgot was that it’s spelled “The Genius*” Then when you read the fine print it says:
* genius label does not count handling of young pitchers. The Genius is much better with old pitchers everyone else thinks are done. Young pitchers have too much velocity for “The Genius*” to utilize properly.
Remember some Cardinals fans hate The Genius* too. And for the record, I still have all 32 of my adult “teethes” in their proper place in my jaw, no dentures or dentist work required.
You misquoted me, Andy.
Tragedy, you got right. It’s when I stub my toe. I’ll wail and moan, I’ll cry, go to Mt. Sinai for a day and a half…
Comedy, to me, is when you fall in an open sewer and die.
Props for the reference though.
Men are deceived if they think themselves free, an opinion which consists only in this, that they are conscious of their actions and ignorant of the causes by which they are determined. by buy levitra online
We wish, in a word, equality – equality in fact as corollary, or rather, as primordial condition of liberty. From each according to his faculties, to each according to his needs; that is what we wish sincerely and energetically. by jack black
America is Rome reincarnate. Like the Roman empire, the American empire is vastly powerful and unfathomably corrupt. Like Rome, America imposes her civilisation upon an ungrateful world. Like Rome, America needs bread, circuses and philosopher-statesmen to forestall and yet to hasten her demise. by cheap propecia online
online poker Can one be a saint if God does not exist? That is the only concrete problem I know of today.
online poker There is one, and only one, thing in modern society more hideous than crime – namely, repressive justice

Thank you for providing this site and guest book.
This is a one super duper site
online poker Modern science disclaims any intention of understanding the hidden nature of things; its philosophy condemns any such endeavour as vague, misleading and altogether unscientific….But I refuse to heed this warning. I agree that the process of understanding leads beyond – indeed far beyond – what a strict empiricism regards as the domain of legitimate knowledge; but I reject such an empiricism. If consistently applied, it would discredit any knowledge whatever and it can be upheld only by allowing it to remain inconsistent. It is permitted this inconsistency because its ruthless mutilation of human experience lends it such a high reputation for scientific severity, that its prestige overrides the defensiveness of its own foundations. Our acknowledgement of understanding as a valid form of knowing will go a long way towards liberating our minds from this violent and inefficient despotism.
