Super User CWB Posted June 23, 2009 Super User Posted June 23, 2009 Hey GP- One of my vendors just told me he get ticket to Miller Park maybe 10 times a year. Right behind 3rd about 10 rows up. He says they are usually night games and offered me 2 but I can't get up there and get back and still be in bed by 9:00. And obviously they won't be for when the Cubs visit as they help sell out wherever they play. P.M. me if your interested. Hate to see them go to waste or to some non-fan if you know what I mean.
1inStripes Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Is anyone else tired of interleague play? It was cool when it first happened, but now its played out. If your gonna go it every year, just play 2 games against every team in the other league. This would require dropping two teams in MLB. I would say drop two franchises who never compete for WS like the Nationals, Pirates, Brewers, Cubs, Royals or Rangers.
Super User CWB Posted June 25, 2009 Super User Posted June 25, 2009 What's going on in the N.L. Central? Nobody seems to want it. P.U.
Super User burleytog Posted June 27, 2009 Author Super User Posted June 27, 2009 Hey Uncle Leo, what was the score for the Cubs game yesterday? I can't seem to find it.
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted June 28, 2009 Super User Posted June 28, 2009 While I think Hendry was nuts for trading a producer like DeRosa, I do understand his reasoning behind letting him go. We needed another left-handed bat in the lineup. You'll get to see him soon enough. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090627&content_id=5574664&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted June 28, 2009 Super User Posted June 28, 2009 Looks like the Cards are also looking at Matt Holliday. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2009/06/cardinals-pursuing-matt-holliday.html

G.P.- You and your family have a great time at the Game tomorrow. Go Mets!!! ;D ;D

G.P.- You and your family have a great time at the Game tomorrow. Go Mets!!! ;D ;D Thanks. I'm really excited. I haven't seen a game with my old man since last season. The Mets are dinged up big time, even with our terrible SPing we may have a shot.
srv1990 Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 There are a lot of very good players in the game today, but after tonight Albert Pujols is 6 for 7 with the bases loaded this season, with 4 HR's and 20 RBI's. And he broke Stan Musial's club records for most grand slams in a season and a career. You can hate the Cardinals or hate LaRussa, whatever... but what Pujols is doing is something many baseball fans will look back on in amazement that we were able to witness in person. The guy is just freakin' unbelievable.
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted July 4, 2009 Super User Posted July 4, 2009 Amen srv1990. He really is something special. He's been a granny monster as of late. RBI's are a dime-a-dozen. He's a class act too. I read the story about how his wife/gf didn't mention, at first, her son had down syndrome. When Albert found out, he was all about helping her and her son.
CJ Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 Pujols is a faker. : No, he didn't fake that grand slam last night. It really happened! Tony said it a few years ago,"Albert is a better person than he is a ball player". That's saying a whole lot! He is the total package and the greatest player in the game right now and he would be even if he was a Cub.
CJ Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 I just got back from St. Louis yesterday. I took my boys to the game Wednesday night! I got to see a great pitching match up with Mark Cain and Adam Wainwright from the 6th row right behind the camera pit on the visitors side. It was a great game. The rookie Colby Rasmus wins it in the 10th with a walk off HR! The Cards are still up and down with their offense. Albert has been carrying them mostly. Tony has got to get his head out of his butt and send Duncan to the minors. This guy totally sucks and I don't think he is good enough for AAA ball. I'm not seeing any adjustments being made with any of the struggling hitters. Ankiel has been swinging through off speed pitches all year and Duncan has been swinging through everything. The NL central is an open door for whatever team wants to get it together right now.
Super User burleytog Posted July 4, 2009 Author Super User Posted July 4, 2009 Take that Harden! Harden was a knee-jerk reaction to the Crew getting fatass last year. He is a bullpen killer. Does good to go 6, either really good or really bad. The Cubs need an enema.

It was CYC night at the park, all the youth players and their coaches get to walk ("parade") around the field before game time. Got to walk around with my son and daughter (see pics below). As for the game, the ending was awesome, but too many missed chances by a struggling offense, Wainwright deserved the victory. My daughter and son (along with a couple of their friends) in front of the Cardinals dugout: Me with my daughter and son down the right field line, just before leaving the field:
Super User burleytog Posted July 5, 2009 Author Super User Posted July 5, 2009 Boy it would be nice to have this much offense in every game.
1inStripes Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 And right about now the Cubbies will take a swift beating for 3 straight nights at the hands of the Bravos!!!!!
1inStripes Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 What's that now? : Well, at least Im not a Reds fan........Still gonna win the series!!!!!
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted July 7, 2009 Super User Posted July 7, 2009 What's that now? : Well, at least Im not a Reds fan........Still gonna win the series!!!!! Uuugghh. I had Cueto starting last night on my fantasy team. 2/3 of an inning and an era of 121.00. Not pretty.
CJ Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 To G.P!!! Not looking good tonight. LOL! Oh....taking out yalls starter after 4. Ouch!
srv1990 Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Another great outing by Wainwright... of course, I think he was just faking.
