The Reds are worth watching for Brandon Phillips defense alone.

Because at that age they are too senile to realize they haven't been paid in 3 years?

Verlander with another CG today, his 4th of the year and 2nd in a row. He's gone 6 or more in every start this season. He's on pace to pitch 270 innings which is 40 more than his career high. He's only throwing 2 more pitches per game as opposed to last year as well.

That whole Reds series this weekend was frickin' brutal to watch. The entire roster goes cold all at once. Phillips has been in a slump for a month, Bruce is back to one of this .230 monthlong spells, Votto isn't even hitting, left field and SS continue to be black holes, and Miguel frickin' Cairo has to earn us 1 win out of 3 vs. the Blue Jays. Nice series, guys.

But over the last 18 games the pitching has come around to @3.50 ERA. If they can keep that right around 4.00 going forward they can make some noise.
And bringing up Alonso for LF and Cozart for SS/utility would help.

Pitt gives me douche chills in the trailer. I agree that it has some serious potential to be awful, however Sorkin is a really good writer and that is my only real hope. The book was also really good.

This story just makes me tear up. Johnathan Taylor's courage, spirit is inspiration for all of us | Jeff Schultz
The other story they did this weekend killed me. They talked about one boy in the rehab center that was not doing well until JT started coming by and cheering him up. The kid said "I got better because he helped me." I just can't imagine going through what he has and being that upbeat. The Ranger's offered him a contract and he turned it down. He doesn't want to lose his eligibility because he has every intention to play again. He can't even walk right now, but he is going to play again. |

For the record, I think the rest of you can now see why we spent so much time being excited about the Royals playing well for 4-6 weeks. It's often all we have to be excited about, so we might as well enjoy it while it lasts.

Pujols expected to miss 4-6 weeks with broken bone in wrist.

I just have a deep fear that this movie will have been "Hollywood-ized" too much for my tastes. I really like Jonah Hill - in comedies. Not sure what to think about him being cast in the Paul DePodesta role. And I'm betting it will be dumbed-down for mass audiences and given too neatly wrapped an ending. I'm sure I'll watch it on Netflix, and maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. |

Story has been changed to read Pujols has a broken "forearm" instead of wrist. Still not good news, but possibly better than a wrist injury.

He's a good manager but not a great one. His image for some reason has become something grand as he's aged. Not sure where it really comes from. Jack McKeon Managerial Record - Baseball-Reference.com One postseason. One. Longest job, four years. |

With his relative slow start and now this injury, how much will he get paid as a FA?
Seems to me that he should have taken the Cards offer.

It's possible, but they'd be imploding their franchise for $300/10 years (if those reports about what he wanted are true) I am very glad the Red Sox will not be involved. Edit: I mean, would you rather have 30 year old Adrian Gonzalez for 7 years/$147 million starting next season or a 32 year old Albert Pujols for 10 years/$300 million?

I'm with you.. that's why I've always said the Cardinals should never sign that kind of a contract. In fact, I love Pujols, but I would probably sign Berkman for a 2 year extension if I could and then go after Reyes from the Mets if that's possible (maybe they would take Colby Rasmus off our hands and a few other prospects) |

I don't see him getting his money unless it's from the Cubs. Most of the team that can afford his demands don't need him. The economy being what it is, I also don't think that an owner is going to trust his gate money, etc. to be a solid stream of revenue. |

I'd say his teams consistently outperform what they are supposed to do. He did a great job with the Reds in the late 90's. Look what happened after he left.

Dude, if Cardinal fans want to get rid of Colby Rasmus (and I don't understand why - he's a star and cheap, which you're going to need on what is an old team), there are a lot of teams that would be interested. Hell, the Giants would kill for someone like him. I know there's sagas with the dad and what not, but I tend to put that down to Tony La Russa being a whiny old fart who bitches and moans and would rather continue to play the likes of Skip Schumacher. |

I don't think playing Skip is a bad thing... Colby is like JD Drew, he only plays when he wants to. He's a great talent and if he wants a change of scenery.. so be it. I'd rather this.. unless Pujols comes down off his initial offer. C Molina 1B Berkman 2B Theriot SS Reyes 3B Freese LF Holliday CF/RF Schumaker/Jay/Craig I would give up Rasmus in a heartbeat for Reyes. |

He's hitting .231 in 52 AB's at Gwinnett this year. An old minor-to-major projection calc says he translates to .200 with a .555 OPS ... compared to the .178 BA and .567 OPS of Uggla. (It's also more production than they've gotten from Deadweight Diory or the already-demoted Brandon Hicks) Might be just the spark the lineup needs.

Cardinals bullpen is horrible. Load the bases then two hitsbattsman, a single, a walk, and then a 4 pitch walk. Wow they suck. I think LaRussa has to go. There is no reason for Batista to be on a major league roster.
EDIT: A two run single. It is now 7-2 (was 2-2 at the top of the inning). Last edited by panerd : 06-21-2011 at 09:46 PM. |

Amazing comeback for the Nationals last night. 5-1 going into the bottom of the ninth. Long story short, they get some men on, Zimmerman GIDP. Comebacker takes out the closer. Ramos hits 3 run walk-off HR. Largest previous deficit overcome in the ninth for the Nationals in DC (as opposed to the Expos in Montreal) was 2 runs.

I hope your worrying is justified. 9 of their last 10, sole possession of 3rd place and 1 game out of .500. They haven't even sniffed .500 this late in the season since the last day of the 2005 (inaugural) season. If it is just a hot streak, I am enjoying it. If it is more than that, I am very excited for some great baseball.

Chris Heisey with the 3 HR in the final game of the Yankees series. Too bad they still took 2 out of 3 from us.
