Dan Iassonga's strike zone is another example of how bad MLB umpiring is. To his credit, it sucks equally on both sides.
If there is one thing I can say for the blues in the cards series, its that they've been consistently inconsistent.
I would like to publically thank the Arizona diamondbacks for doing their job last night and making todays travels much more bearable.
i just want to state, that I am very willing to be wrong on my predictions and will be cheering for the Cardinals over the Phillies Friday night. Halladay vs Carpenter will be nasty sick.
also, I bring this up on message boards rather frequently as well as in regular conversation... How do people find baseball boring? I get it when people think I'm crazy for watching tennis and golf, but baseball is the ultimate thinking man's sport. There's nothing like it. And the crack of a wooden bat is easily the best sound in sports. Above a "swish", a hard hit in football or the sound of a golf ball falling into the cup.
How good was that play by Pujols to cut down Utley trying to advance to third? That's as good as it gets.
I forget who was on second, but Rollins hit a liner to Theriot at 2B and he used those pump fakes to hold the runner at second before throwing out Rollins. That was huge.
