Could this be the end?

(Hoping it's the end)

St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols (5) is helped off the field by Yadier Molina (4) and Ron Villone (27) after Pujols injured his left leg batting in the seventh inning of a baseball game against the Cincinnati Reds, Tuesday, June 10, 2008, in Cincinnati.

Are we seriously cheering on the injury of another team's star player?  Even if it's a team we hate so much, it's really questionable... 

God, I fucking love this place. 

Wouldn't you cheer if you heard Kim Jong Il kicked the bucket?

No*.  I would be pissed because I never got the chance to stab him in the fucking eye.

Sorry, my hatred for Kim Jong Il is really compricated.

*When Ken Griffey Jr. separated his shoulder at Great American versus the Cubs, I was the first asshole to stand up in our section to cheer and scream, "He's hurt, that fucking pussy is hurt... It's not even June, that pussy is HURT!"

That was you? Bases loaded triple by Gabor, I think.

I was sitting right by the first base line...  My friends kept trying to make me sit down, but I wanted to be sure that everyone in Cincy knew that Junior was gone for the season.  So yeah, I was that guy.  Making eye contact, high fiving my friends...  Laughing when they brought out the golf cart stretcher and they took him out via the outfield wall.  How fitting. 

I hate Cincinnati chili too.

That was probably how he really got injured in the first place.

In hindsight, this might have been a better choice for Weebs' Griffey tribute graphic.

It looks like Grandpa has fallen and can't get up.

St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols falls to the ground after injuring his left leg batting in the seventh inning of a baseball game against the Cincinnati Reds, Tuesday, June 10, 2008, in Cincinnati. Pujols left the game.

Steroids are hard on the body.

He might as well get that bad elbow fixed up while he's get a bad wheel. There's no time like the present for season ending surgery, Poo-holes.

Doesn't matter. Pujols goes down, Cards will just plug some worthless schlub in his place, and said schlub will suddenly discover he has Lou Gehrig's mojo and will hit fucking 400 the rest of the season and bang out like 90 home runs or something. Seems like every dickwad that is completely worthless on any other team, gets to the Cards, and now they decide to play like all-stars. I don't like it, no, not one bit.

It's their corporal-captain program.

Worthless schlubs + performance enhancing drugs = useful schlubs.  Not a complicated formula.

By the way, Pujols has an interesting hairline for a "27" year old.

Agreed.  My grandfather had no hair at all by the time he was 25.  I guess that's the benefit of being able to afford plugs.

Who knew?

Eyre ran his consecutive scoreless appearance streak to 31 games, tying Ryan Dempster's franchise record.

Looking back through Eyre's game log, he's given up just two runs since July 4 of last year.

Which is why I was baffled by what seemed like Lou favoring Cotts over Scottie Ire. He's been excellent since he started eating again.

I would think a stats-geek like you would see right through this pointless record.  Especially for a LOOGY.

Now, the fact that he hasn't allowed an inherited runner to score and has retired 12 consecutive first hitters he's faced, that's something.

By the way, according to BR, he finished 30th in MVP voting in 2005.
