chris carpenter did a good job against an amazing texas lineup.
and cj wilson did better than i thought he would lol. i really looked for carpenter to step up. both sides, relief pitching, did great. tonight, they may go back to a slug fest. i hope not. i love to see the pitcher work his/her stuff. big fast pitch softball fan. tony la russa is the man. you know mark mcqwire is the cardinals hitting coach. i have mixed emotions about mark. but i think he may be a pretty good coach. a player can certainly learn a lot from him. david freese says mcqwire is a big reason for his success. and surely mcqwire has something to do with lance berkmans resurgin'. if we look at the cardinals hitting stats for the season and thus far, ... something has change for the better. i guess mcqwire does deserve a second chance. i just wish he didn't need one. go cardinals! |

Mark McGwire, lied to a grand jury. He, and many others, tarnished baseball. Barry-roid-Bonds has yet to get his. I think NONE of them should have any association with the game. They broke the law. They should be treated like any other criminals.
I have no problem posting this about Mark. Hence my comment last night, NO CHEATING! |

i agree, no cheating. we have to earn it, on our own, no help. no steroids.
that's why i say i have mixed emotions. i watched closely when he went for roger maris' record. how emotional he was with the maris' family. he did wrong. it's about more than just cheating. he did maris wrong. maybe he should be thrown out of baseball entirely. i know for sure he doesn't belong in the hall of fame. but i do believe in 2nd chances. even 3rd and 4th, sometimes. i love to collect. i bought the wheaties box with mcqwire on it, when he broke the record. i still have the box, but it doesn't mean anything anymore. i also have the cal ripken wheaties box, ... that one means something. |

Yup, LaRussa cleaned it up. Something about Oakland and dirty play and it just seems like no matter what, managers or coaches in Oakland end up being called dirty, I think. The Raiders have always had a bad rep. I have never liked any of the Oakland teams and I live on the East Bay side of SF! I'm glad LaRussa left and went to the Red Birds.
When he was here, however, he did a lot of work for sheltered and abused animals and also he was a big anti-date rape advocate. His daughter was a victim of date rape and LaRussa got right out there in the faces of male athletes about it. He also was involved in organizations dealing with date rape and the use of drugs by perpetrators to compromise young women. There was a very sensitive and moving mini-doc with LaRussa and his daughter that I felt demonstrated his understanding the dynamics of date rape and how it effects the self-esteem of teen girls. I miss him being here, but Oakland atheletic teams seem to tarnish a lot of reps with the dirty play stuff. Part of me thinks it the whole stereotype that Al Davis (may he RIP- recently died) perpetuated with the Oakland Raiders. Rather be rooting for Tony in St Louis! |

![]() Another close one. Was hoping the Cardinals would go up 2-0 but Texas had other plans LOL. Enough with the pitching duels. Wanna see some slugging! |

![]() Cardinals are looking good. Was nice to finally get to see them play. Carpenter is one big boy isnt he? Looks like a linebacker on the mound. I'm hoping for some batting fireworks in a couple of these games. Both these teams can hit and I would love to see some hitting! |

[QUOTE=Kobi;441884]
Cardinals are looking good. Was nice to finally get to see them play. Carpenter is one big boy isnt he? Looks like a linebacker on the mound. I was totally in my element in the top of the first....the pitcher (Carpenter) making that e x t e n d e d reach slide sort of thing to get the out at first. Then Molina, the Cards catcher, making that awesome throw, to get the runner stealing second. That throw was a half step ahead of the slide! (Pitcher/Catcher) I'm hoping for some batting fireworks in a couple of these games. Both these teams can hit and I would love to see some hitting! We may have to wait until game three in Texas, hopefully it will be warmer....I'm hoping we see 7 games. They are evenly matched. /QUOTE] Again, I have no real favorite. I like both teams. |

The home run derby, in my mind, will never be the same....they were hitting 40, 41 h/r's at a time during the All Star event...between corked bats and Roids. Has anyone hit 20 since? Fortunately, people forget. I guess the weaties box is worth something....you can say this is a cheater. In professional sports, we expect them to be superstars based on honest to goodness talent. By working hard and refining the skills. Not by corking the bats and taking the needle. Oh, and if your name is Barry-roid-Bonds, your highly paid personal trainer, outside of baseball, rubbs some special creme on your wrist. No questions, no worries. ![]() |
