QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 3, 2009 -> 06:54 PM) Ian Kinsler needs a good fastball placed in between the two numbers on his back first AB. Nah, too good a baserunner. Let's nail Blalock or Jones.

ohhh, Q just missed that.

Josh's hand is already swelling.

Left Hand this could be bad.

Oh, s*** Fields was hit

QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2009 -> 06:49 PM) FWIW, I'm not watching the game, so my quote about minorities was prior to hearing this. He thinks he's a really good player.

Nix had a really nice AB there.

Wow, Joe Morgan likes Dewayne Wise. Why am i not suprised?

Congrats go to Wasserman for both a blown save and a win.

That might actually be a decent idea for Owens. To try to get an NRI to an NFL practice. NOT THE Bears (please lord)

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 3, 2009 -> 05:48 PM) I know it sounds good in theory but Rasmus isn't going anywhere. Rick Ankiel is obviously the odd man out in that outfield and the Cardinals are absolutely in love with Rasmus (for obvious reasons). By this time next year Colby Rasmus will have 5 times the value of Bobby Jenks, right now it's probably only 2X or 3X. Closers just don't have that kind of value and Rasmus is special. It's a crazy pipe dream that any Cardinals fan would scoff at. It was also more viable before Chris Perez started to figure it out, but i'd agree that it's gotten more and more unrealistic as the year goes on.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 3, 2009 -> 05:39 PM) He has the 4th most PA of any player in the lineup, he has more PA than Ryan Ludwick. When you have to find ABs for Ludwick, Ankiel, Duncan, Pujols and Rasmus the guy who gets off to the slow start is gonna have to sit a little. He's available but not cheap and in a contract year. Then there's the obvious HGH fueled Gorilla in the room. Jenks for Rasmus still tickles me...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 3, 2009 -> 03:41 PM) Now that could be disaster for this team. They have literally no starting depth behind Samardizja and Mitch Atkins, and neither of those options are ideal.

Jimbo was Correct. All Hope is Lost.

Since when is pitch-running with Rich Harden the optimal solution? The guy's body is a walking time-bomb.

Welcome to the Natinals, Doogle. Hope you survive the experience.

QUOTE (tommy @ May 3, 2009 -> 02:34 PM) How is Poreda doing in the minors? He's been pretty good. Great K numbers, but his walks are a bit of a concern.

Awesome! My Charlotte team in MVP 2005, just got better! Time to move to the bench, 2b eligible Andy Phillips!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 3, 2009 -> 01:50 PM) That's why he couldn't get a job with the Royals, or a major league offer from anyone during spring training. The dude is a glorified pinch runner. We just had one of them. I never said Gathright was a good ball player, if anything his skillset suggests a track-star, or a high-jumper. Owens could be on the track team, in high school.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 3, 2009 -> 12:19 PM) JOey Gathright=Jerry Owens. Joey Gathright is probably the most athletic man in the MLB, right now. Jerry Owens has nonthing on him

Rumour Press is like MLB Trade Rumours except more credible and it frequently breaks it's own stories.

Mike Sirotka to give it another go. New number #1 starter for Pale Hose.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 3, 2009 -> 10:51 AM) Bobby Brownlie and Bobby Hill together again. Ah man, Brownlies arm was really something until it is exploded.

Danks 2 being promoted to Birmingham could potentially move up his ETA by at least half a year.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2009 -> 12:17 AM) Just see the awesome stats Kalapse posted about how much we've struggled against starting pitching this season. Should be fun to face Greinke and Galarraga next week. Greink will be tough, but Galarraga BABIP is due to blow up in his face sometime soon.
