I'm not totally sure on the history here, but this might break the record for most excuses in a single quote in the history of the world ever:

""It was kind of a half-liner, half-fly ball," Holliday said, still trying to make sense of the Cardinals' 3-2 loss, standing expressionless and pink in the cheeks in front of his locker after the game. "I got caught. I can catch a ball hit right at me. It went in the lights, and I couldn't see the ball. Hit me in the stomach. Couldn't see the ball. I was just hoping it would hit my glove.""

Honest... I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire! I didn't have enough money for cab fare! My tux didn't come back from the cleaners! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!!!!!

You beat me to the punch.

I think that may be my favorite scene in the movie.  It's the one time in the movie, if I'm not mistaken, that Jake takes his shades off.  Then to dump Carrie Fisher right after the kiss and for Elwood to step over her, politely nod his head and tell her to "take it easy" makes that whole scene perfect.

I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

In spite of the fact that Mark DeRosa and his cancer-curing stubble is a career .422 (19-for-45) hitter in LDS play, I'm enjoying the hell out of the fact hat he has now played in nine straight playoff losses. 

Who's this guy think he is, Kenny Lofton?

I think he's in a world of his own. And he's actually lost 10 postseason games in a row. He did not play on Oct. 4, 2003, a Braves win over the Cubs. His postseason record is an Aaron Milesian 3-18.

It doesn't look like Wainwright had a problem with the white towels here.

Other than masking their steroid use, there is nothing the Cardinals do better than act like whiny little bitches.

I don't think anyone "savors" their red wine quite as much either.
