Thank you. That's what really matters.

[funkster]

Danks getting kind of shelled right now.

[rok]

That's a shame.

7-2.  That's a shame.

Wainwright on Wainwright:

"I don't care what all those Twitter people out there calling for my retirement and all that, and I don't know how many times I have to tell people to relax, because you pitch a few games like this you don't deserve to tell them to relax," Wainwright said.


"What I will and can say is I will come out of this, and I will be a very, very good pitcher. I'm just not there right now."

.

.

"I was given another big lead, and I blew it again," Wainwright said. "But the only way I can look at it in a positive light is the first three or four innings I was pretty crisp, and I need to draw off of that."

.

.

"Listen, you throw the ball down the middle of the plate, these big league hitters will punish you for it," Wainwright said. "I've made more mistakes these first three games than I have entire seasons I feel like. The only way I'm not going to come out of this is if I get down on myself and start pouting around about it."

[jstraw]

I'm glad he feels that way. I'm sorry we're not getting a crack at him this week.

[Butcher]

I don't think Wainwright is having much fun.

Cancel baseball.

[Runnys]

St. Louis is leading the majors in runs scored ?

[funkster]

Hate to be that guy, but interesting how Sox are getting smoked now that they aren't playing teams named the Twins or the A's.

[funkster]

Nvm, I don't give a fuck if I'm that guy.  Fuck them.

[rok]

I am happy to be that guy if you aren't up to the task....

[Butcher]

Ditto here.

[rok]

Their lineup is still terrible even after upgrading at 3B and 2B over the offseason.

[funkster]

I predict Lawrie's going to end up being dog shit.
