Modern girls modern rock and roll
He’s straight you’re stoned

For a big guy, he sure grounds out a lot. Before the game his GIDP% was 6.3.
I would rather give Barton another try…I guess he is injured, though.
I think that's his 6th (in 22 games)

I could also put up with Boston making the playoffs and beating the slegnA.
My friend has let me know about the starting 9 of the slegnA all hitting .300 or over and has told me about this at least 10 times in the last two days.
I keep telling him, their offense will cool off.
which it will,
especially against the good teams that make the post season.

i don't care about the outcome so much anymore

Cliff Lee is owning the NL
He’s a good pitcher obviously but he is making the rest of the NL his Bitch.
Hopefully our youngsters will be doing this in 2011. Owning the AL. Nice to see some dominant performances like we used to get at the beginning of the decade.
But what will you be unhappy about?

Simply put, AL pitchers don't get the luxury of pitching to a pitcher.
But it cuts both ways. NL purists constantly complain about how in the AL, they don’t actually play baseball, because a baseball team only has nine starters, not ten.
It’s all a bunch of bollocks.
Seems like the AL pitchers have to be that much better b/c of the DH factor.
They are facing the Best of the Best hitters in the DH spots (theoretically) is this borne out statistically?

Naah. He's younger than me.
I think Moyer and Johnson are the only ones left for me.

It's funny that the Cardinals
always sign pitchers who seem washed up or are average pitchers for the most part and Dave Duncan or some genius turns them around.
Joe Pineiro, Ryan Franklin.
He even got Jeff Weaver a few years ago and managed to get wins out of them.
Of course there’s the AL to NL factor for those last 3 mentioned but still.
