Baseball 2013

I liked the Onion's "Drunk dedicating trash can he set on fire to the Marathon victims". Not too far from the truth.

Thank GOD I don't live up there anymore.  Yesterday would have been another day where I wouldn't have been able to get home due to all the drunks and scumbags in front of Fenway blocking my way to the train station from my old office.  Today, I'd have to put up with a bunch of lowlifes running around shouting "RED SAWKS" at work instead of working.

Down here, nobody gives a shit.

What they didn't riot down there when Louisville won?

Presumably they were too drunk and too ripped on Meth to have the energy.

[Ed Anger]

Too full of HAWT BROWNS.

Really thought Wacha would have another strong game & keep it close. 

Yeah, that was kind of what I figured as well.

I read somewhere before the series started that the Cardinals figured that they could win at least 1 game in Boston, but that Boston wouldn't be able to win any in St. Louis.  Well, the Cards did manage to take a game in Boston, but they weren't able to sweep the games in St. Louis--if they had, they'd have won the series.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! 

Seedy, I think he needs a time out.

It was a good series, I watched a few games. Last night was an entertaining one to watch (as entertaining beisbol can be for me).

No clue.  My office is out in the suburbs.

"I don't care how he does it, but Buchholz needs to gain 20 pounds".

My Dad seems to think that Clay will be more durable if he gains 20 pounds of muscle, I'm not sure that's how it works. I don't know if you should interfere with his natural body type, could do more harm than good.

Clay Buchholz might be the ugliest man I have ever seen.  He is at least giving Ron Howard a run for his money.

How about Clint Howard?

Heard a rumor that the Cardinals are looking to deal Freese to the Yankees so they can move Carpenter to third base and get the speedster Kolton Wong in at second base.  Freese has been a little spotty since his spectacular 2011 postseason, so I don't know what the Yankees would be willing to give up for him.

[The Minsky Moment]

If there is no trade of Freese, St. Louis is likely to non-tender.  He is coming off a down year on the wrong side of 30.  So my guess is they will get very little back.  The only question is whether some other team needs a 3B as badly and is willing to pay the $4 million or so Freese will cost.  Even then the Yankees are in rebuilding mode (or what passes as such in the Bronx) so I don't see Cashman chasing an auction.

[derspiess]

Freese and Fernando Salas have been traded to the Angels for a couple outfielders I'm not familiar with.  So now if the Cards can get a hold of a decent hitting shortstop, their infield will be set.

While this initially hit me like a punch to the gut, seven years is simply too long a contract for a 30 year old player that depends on his speed to the extent that Ellsbury does.
