MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

2 things.

1. I didn't hear him say anything on that home run. Then again it would've been nearly impossible to hear anything over Hawk's screaming on that.

2. He played 3 years with the Cubs, 3 years with the White Sox. And he's also <b>getting paid</b> to root for the team, just like Brenly is with us.

I know. I know. How many years was he in the Cubs' booth? I guess I'm led to believe he's more of a Cub fan due to his long tenure in the booth.

Lincecum only lasted 3, now the Giants' David Patton is in. Some random that had an incredible spring. The Brewers are rocking him. 5-4 in the top 4 with 2 on and 1 out.

And an absolute bomb allowed by Suppan to Rowand now in the bottom half of the inning [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]. 6-5 Giants.

Could be a rough 2-3 months for the Cards without Glaus
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Joe Thurston is starting at third base and batting eighth for the Cardinals on Tuesday.
When Tony La Russa opted to start Brian Barden over David Freese on Opening Day, it could have been viewed as La Russa simply not wanting to put too much pressure on the rookie. However, now that Thurston is getting the call, it looks like Freese may not fully have La Russa's trust. NL-only owners should remain patient, but owners of Freese in deeper mixed leagues may want to look elsewhere.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Suppan, McClung, and now Bush in this game! Bush came in, gave up a bomb to Molina immediately, then a double to Sandoval, gets 1 out, now an RBI double to Rowand. It's 9-5 in the 7th inning.

So let's bring in Jorge Julio! First pitch, Randy Winn all over his face.

I was listening to hear if Stone chimed in, and I'm almost certain he did not.

At first, I thought that he did, but then listened to it again ( [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/puke.gif[/img] ) and I was wrong. Plus, he's said a few times off the air that he'd let Harrelson do his thing and wouldn't participate. Anyway, fuck them both.

Gonna be interesting to see what they do with Sandoval. He's definitely gonna hit but he's Adam Dunnesque in the field. And they are playing him at 3B.. He looked awful today... But he's really gonna hit, so they gotta play him somewhere...

Yeah, I thought they were projecting him as a 1B. Dude doesn't look nearly athletic enough to play anywhere else.

And he's blocked by Molina for right now at catcher. It sounds like he's going to play all three of those positions, and with a subpar lineup, they've gotta get his bat in the lineup everyday.

The Braves are on their way to sweeping Philly. Their offense looks awfully fucking good. 9 runs today, and no Chipper or Anderson in the line-up.

The Phils just took the lead. They've scored 8 in the 7th on 4 hits. The Braves have walked 4 guys in on the inning, and there's still two guys on with 2 outs.
The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.
