nicely done, german
two pitches, at least, to get out. if zack was done pitching, we should have at least let him bat.

It half makes me happy for them
and half makes me jealous as all get out. That lucky bastard.

The more I look at
Jim’s nose during the close-ups, the more disturbed I get.

I usually go with the lower case
“p so it looks like” which more closely resembles an actual tongue sticking out. ”:P” would be in the guiness book of world records for the largest tongue ever.
And yes, that’s what she said.
I’m sorry, look: Jim has an incredibly weird nose.

I'm not sure why "Jim" would "prepare" his hair by wearing a baseball cap all night, though

you know what my ultimate Office question/issue is
what the hell is David Brent’s ring?
I’ve looked at it a million times, and I have no idea whats on it, and its never mentioned
looks like an anchor or something
sadly, since that show was on so long ago, THERE IS NOTHING ONLINE ABOUT IT

Assistant in Anchorage just got married, changing her email address to “ramador”.

zack's line
7 IP, 2 hits, 1 BB, 1 ER (homer)
he deserves the win despite our crappy offense
Is he "officially" unavailable?
I was hoping the Cards fans would start thinking they were in the movie Groundhog say.
no, just two days in a row...
i wonder what his history of pitching consecutive days is

326 comments on el birdos, 470 for us
and of course ours are immeasurably classier and smarter.
but we are both watching the game
and watching mama’s family simultaneously
that might not be work
but it’s at least a chore

That's because
we have more juicers [Olivo, Guillen v. Ankiel] and they have more grit [most of their lineup v. Gload]
juicers>grit

But Adam Kennedy smokes!
Thats major, +158 GRIT.

unbelievable!
nice walk to make it a two run homer

The game the right way; a drag bunt was the obvious play there.

Oh, man, let's not start
Yeah, he was. But I think a careful reading of the books (at least until the last one, where Rowling forgets to develop any characters besides Harry) shows that he wasn’t that much less mature than the other two, and, frankly, Hermione makes her own bed with her own pride and immaturity, culminating in the Book 6 disaster.
There’s a reason Ron’s the most popular character in the books: he’s the most likable.

Wow
Well, I got what I deserved for bating you. I was quite the Ron Weasley fan myself. :D

Wait, are we arguing?
When I said “let’s not start,” I was hoping that we wouldn’t look like dweebs for talking about the main “relationship” is the most overrated and girly sci-fi/fantasy series ever. Rowling is the Garrett Anderson of writers.
Yeah, Ron and Snape were my favs.

No question

Cardinals fans are appalled as this shameful display

i would now sit soria down
and keep him fresh for our homestand.
there’ll be a lot of crappy teams we’ll beat by one run, i bet.
Maybe you sit Soria...
...but it’s the Cards. I might not send him now, but I’d keep him warm.
if gload hits a five run homer
i would definitely bring back hideo nomo and put him in.

maybe we’ll get swept in ten days….?

i was just thinking that
great way to leave town.
Those boos...
...are nothing but class and knowledge. That’s who Cards fans are.
and to be fair
they wouldn’t know a gritty performance on the mound if Bob Gibson pointed it out to them.

I get the
crying about Denkinger but what’s with the dollar? Are they using hard earned strip club money to express their angst?

Dear Royals:
Three more outs. Please? Pretty please?
You know
it really isn’t much a rivalry if the Cards are 42-31, the Royals are 30-42, and KC sweeps st.l at home…

Of course, caveats for Pujols gone.
We lose at least one of the previous two games if he is in there.
NO!

STL is just another NL team
their fancy strategery is for naught against our multiple home run hitters
. . . a weary nation turns to Gil Meche
i don't like soria pitching.
like someone said, get him in if two get on, but we have bad teams coming to town, and we can expect to win some more games where we’ll need him.
i guess soria did actually have a pretty slow start inningswise to the season
if i recall. maybe his arm is still pretty fresh.
Save situation!!!!
You don’t want to not use him only to use him when a game is just tied or something.

Because when Trey has not used him in a save situation before, everyone
has criticized him
Guess I'll have to change my name now...damn
by MileHighKCfan on Jun 19, 2008 4:43 PM EDT up reply actions
i think you can not use him,
then stick him in if things go sour, esp if it’s barely a save situation.
we have like nine days without a day off from here on out.
Soria threw like 8 pitches getting the save last night
He can’t be that tired.
winning records follow good bullpens
So he can pimp slap 'em.
Someone find Soria’s pimp cane.
dam straight
rub their classy little faces in it.
. . . a weary nation turns to Gil Meche
it seems like
soria’s save opps are really inconvenient. We’ll go two weeks without a save opp and then we will have four days in a row where we desperately need him
But
It’s a good thing he isn’t wasted as a starter where the Royals would control exactly how often he plays!

after pujols, luddy is the scariest person on this team
even in his current mini-slump.
He Actually Missed
His spots badly for a few pitches, but his stuff is good enough to get away with it.

Don't worry Cards fans
Being swept by the Royals still means you’re the best in the NL.

I hate to say it, but what would our record be if we had made the switch to the NL
The Teahen and Greinke show
HR, double, single
7 ip, 2 h, 7 k’s
I love the NL.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
