Cardinals are playing about as bad a possible so far. Apparently Pujols also forgot its a contract year for him. I figured he'd have about 6 billion HRs so far this year. He'll pick up and so will the Cardinals, but I don't think they will be a playoff team this year either. With Pujols becoming a free agent next year, LaRussa hinting at retirement every single offseason, the front office less willing to spend $$, and their anemic offense, I believe the tide is turning for them........ in a bad way. Goodbye perennial contender. At least the Cubs still suck too.
Cincinnati will own the NL Central for the foreseeable future. If their young pitching holds up they'll be plain nasty.
Mets will win the East this year. Mark it down. Phillies will suffer catastrophic injuries forcing forfeiture of all their games. This will happen on May 21st..
Amazingly, Holliday returned today, just nine days after the procedure. The initial estimates were way off. I believe he only missed seven games.
Great pitcher's duel going on in Detroit. Verlander completely shutting down Texas, and Ogando has been great as well.
Wrong. I heard you say he's on your fantasy team, but he did not miss 9 games. Maybe you're including off days for the Cards and counting every day as a game for your team. He played in the first game, missed the next seven games, and then played yesterday.
Seattle's punchless offense comes up with 5 in the 8th and 2 in the 9th to beat Toronto 8-7 in walkoff fashion. The King is rescued from a loss.
You know what I don't get? Matt Holliday comes back from an emergency appendectomy in 9 days and everyone makes a big deal. Adam Dunn comes back in 6 and everything's hunky-dory.
yeah I was watching when it happened (popup to third base side of home, catcher and 3B went for it, so Hamilton broke for home, tagged out going in headfirst as v martinez hustled back) didn't look that bad but they took him out and lo and behold
The first idiot of the year sliding headfirst into either home or first. Hard to believe that people who have played the game their entire lives do something that stupid. If you look at the video it's obvious that he wasn't even trying to avoid a tag and went straight in, so sliding feet first would have been ridiculously smarter.
