"Turd Throw" and other stories from the rancid NLC.

How long until Scott Spezio moves into the Tards' starting rotation? Maybe they're waiting until they implode first. I wonder when that will be? Maybe after they start losing by two touchdowns. Last night they were right in it til the end. A touchdown, a 2pt conversion and a field goal ties that game. With Bulger, Bruce and Jackson, they're never really out of a game. So that's gotta make them feel better.

I love this thread.

Oh and Sammy hit a grand slam against the Reds last night. I missed it because I was outside barbecuing pork chops. But that game was on here and the Reds announcers were very complimentary of Sammy even prior to the slam. They showed clips of his 500th at GAB and with 599 coming last night and another dose or two of Reds pitching on tap it's looking like 600 will happen in that dump too. Nice. Because Reds fans hate Sammy. Yay.

And the Twins. I had hoped that the Twins would sweep the Brewers, but 2 out of 3 would be very nice.

The Twins aren't very good this year. I haven't watched enough of them to know why but something isn't working.

"What the hell do ya think isn't working!"


I don't know. I haven't been watching their damn games. Saw them pwn the Sox a couple times but hell, even the Pirates can do that.

The Cards should call up that Dan Haren kid from their minor league system to help their pitching.

On a completely unrelated note, those orange and black hats the Orioles wear with the cursive "O's" on them, are fucking ghey.

[HST Redux]

Speaking of O, don't miss this week's SI article on Omar Minaya. It starts a little slow, but is worth reading to the end.

No Liriano puts that rotation in disarray after Santana, who has been getting NO run support.  Plus, they were Mauer-less for definitely a few games.  I think they'll stay competitive, but I can't see them winning the Central this year.

Well, Looper, Edmonds and Eckstein all just went on the DL.


That can't hurt.

And despite all that, here are the Cardinals; not fucked, not imploding. However do they do it?

If Dusty was running that show, he'd cancel the season after their injuries. No holy water can help.

The Brewers look to be back on the winning track again. They are beating the Giants 6-0 in the second inning. Ah well, it was nice to think, for a while, that the Cubs had a chance this year.

They did pretty well against the Tigers and Twins, which is impressive and now they get the Giants, who have totally given up on baseball this year. They are HORRID.
