Hey Dusty, you really hate walks huh?Quote
"Who have been the champions the last seven, eight years? Have you ever heard the Yankees talk about on-base percentage and walks? . . . Walks help. They do help. But you aren’t going to walk across the plate, you’re going to hit across the plate. That’s the school I come from."
Oh. My. God.

JUPITER, Fla. â€" Albert Pujols walks into the St. Louis Cardinals’ clubhouse with Ace bandages wrapped around nearly his entire torso, pecs to pelvis. He eases into a seat and spoons yogurt into his mouth. He uses his hands to help him stand and meanders over to his locker, where trainer Barry Weinberg awaits. It’s 8:03 a.m.
In addition to the weird note about him spooning yogurt into his mouth, that article has the worst headline I've seen in a while:
Pujols flicks away pain like a hanging curve
Yuck.

His advanced years are being to show.

Pujols should give Weinberg a promise ring, if not a full-blown platinum band, for all the time they spend together. Plantar fasciitis, lingering hamstring trouble, a strained ligament in his throwing elbow â€" Pujols, at 28 years old, is a walking cornucopia of injuries and ailments, and Tuesday, not even two weeks into spring training, he complained to Weinberg of general discomfort.
“Take it light,†Weinberg said. “I want you to stay the course.â€
“I was sore,†Pujols said. “I won’t do that again.â€

Next up, a story on Albert's eating habits. We'll be at the Old Country Buffet around 4:30 to see him lumber into America's favorite eatery. Albert just loves the sundae bar.

Wait, Jason Kendall's a Brewer? The state that gave us Ed Gein and Jeffrey Dahmer now houses Jason Kendell? When the fuck did this happen?
The Brewers signed Manson in November.QuoteNewly acquired catcher Jason Kendall caught reliever Derrick Turnbow in Saturday's workout, the first day pitchers threw to batters and actually did a little more than just spot fastballs, and gave a glowing review to manager Ned Yost and the media.
"The ball explodes out of his hand," Kendall said Sunday morning. "He threw the ball real well. He hit his spots and he's fun to catch. I was very impressed."
Yost said some of Turnbow's problems last season were caused by him rushing his delivery and not making the adjustments to correct the faulty mechanics. Turnbow would sometimes rush his delivery, leaving his arm dragging behind and never finding his release point. The results were high, flat pitches.
"It's all about getting to that release point," Yost said. "If he slows down during those periods and makes his adjustments, he's going to be lights out."

I think the Giants playoff drought isn't because Barry was selfish or a prick, it's more that when he was healthy during those years he was younger than half the team of ageds that they put around him. He'd probably fit in in St. Louis, given their historic love of guys on the juice, but he's far better suited to be a DH now. Tampa's not a bad place for him, given that they perennially piss DH at bats away on stiffs like Greg Vaughn, Fred McGriff or Greg Norton, so he wouldn't be stealing at bats from anybody who actually needs them.
And, with the media horde no longer following him, he's probably less of a distraction to a team than a guy like Sammy who wants every TV camera pointed at him.
And, when he goes to prison, he'll do it in a Tampa Bay Rays cap. It's a win-win!
Fork?

Barroid, Ankiel & Albie on one team? The demand for HGH and juice would finally outweigh the supply.
Don't forget Juan "Not My Bag, Homes" González.

That 6-foot, 260-pound build is powered by wheatgrass, soy and tofu nowadays. No meat. Not even fish.
The price of meat and fish ought to drop dramatically.

Charisma Carpenter could do a better job of managing than Dusty.

I just have issues with the whole "no meat on Friday" bullshit.
Although, the Pope has a cool hat.
Don't worry...double Filet O' Fish! Ugh.

(Then again, maybe baseball is old enough to predate this.)
Stew, can you verify any of this?

Papist, schmapist. Try being left-handed. You haven't truly felt the slap of The Man (and a right-handed slap at that) until you try signing those keypads at Target with the pen connected to the right side. Brutal.
So you're a southpaw?
