Longer than a week, Mick. You got Texas(who ain't bad) after Bah-ston, followed by the White Sox again.

That 5 1/2 game lead could disappear in a hurry if they stay cold.

What's sad about that?

Tony LaRussa is a dick. Asamof, if there was a Dick Hall of Fame, he'd be a charter member. He won one World Series with an A's team that was supposed to be a dynasty and win multi championships, and the one that he did win needed a whole buncha injuries and an eathquake to San Fran. Other than that, nada....zip. Before McGwire hit the Senate, he was all "Oh, Marky would never take roids". I'm still waiting for him to comment on Marky now....the phony dick.

The Cards ain't winning anything until LaRussa retires. He'll screw 'em up somehow.

Being a lawyer will do that to you!

Of course LaRussa would also be a lawyer.

Whitey Herzog wrote a very entertaining baseball book a coupla years ago. Being a Cards' fan, you should maybe get someone to read it to you. Gotta warn ya though......it ain't the regular kind of Cardinal fanboy book.....there's no coloring involved.

Nice.

So, no free lunch, but there are a few free desserts in Motown.

Schilling and Bonderman tonight.
Ortiz should be excited to play.
You should have seen Manny embarass himself last night.
...Oh, my, that was a big out!

You mean the throw-out at the plate in the 8th? Yup, Manny broke back to second and froze on the hit, but the third base coach never shoulda waved him home. I don't know whatinthehell he was thinking about. You're right though...that was a heckuva big out....but lay that one on the third base base coach imo, not Manny.

Of course, when his hitting streak ended on the weekend, it ended because Manny loafed his way to 1B on a ground ball that he woulda beaten out if he hadda put out any effort at all on the play.

Looks like the Sox aren't the only ones who have a little trouble running from 3rd to home. . .
