"die hard" to me has come to mean something completely different in the past few years. now it means people who not only follow the MLB club, but also pay attention to the minor leagues and draft. they're looking at the bigger picture. that leaves most "die hards" as mere blowhards.

Well - he watches or listens to probably 75% of the games all season long. He has not been here long enough for me to know if he follows them to that level, but it would not surprise me at all.

The Cards don't really scare me as a Phils fan. They're hot right now, but as long as you pitch around Pujols and Berkman and work deep counts to try to knock the starters out early, Phils have a good chance (even after losing 3 of 4 to them last week). Their bullpen is terrible and they have a bunch of guys with little to no playoff experience. Doesn't hurt that we have homefield advantage and some of our guys have good numbers in St. Louis. Should be a good series, baseball has been crazy this year.

I still don't get this post. The bullpen was way hot down the stretch, their key guys have lots of playoff experience, and Holes and Berkman alone certainly didn't see them into and through the NLDS.


Come here, boy! *noogie*
 
Man, this last couple of weeks as been amazing.

How about that Raphael Furcal? Where did that come from? The dude still has some skills.

He's always been a good defender. One of those guys who "played the game the right way" with the Braves, left as a free agent, and took it easy with the Dodgers. Now that he's on a team where he has to actually contribute again, he came through.
 
Hey! WTF????????????????

Why did they just award that dickhead 1st base?

Isn't the rule generally "The batter needs to make an attempt to avoid being hit by the pitch"?

That asshole made no such move :mad:

Because most umps don't enforce that rule. Asshats.

Good play by Cabrera not tagging first before throwing home.
 
Wow!

Even more dramatics.

That was a no-doubter when it left the bat.

Not looking good for Detroit.
