vs. StL -- vs. Cubs

Adam Wainwright missed two months on the DL, came back in August, threw pretty well and then got hit hard in his last start vs. the Pirates. His only start vs. the Cubs this year was a no-decision on May 2, a game the Cubs won in 11. (Who's that guy who started for the Cubs that day? Never heard of him.) Aramis Ramirez is the Cub who likes to hit Wainwright the best (7-for-19, .368/.455/.684, 3 doubles, a HR).

You all know what Z did in his last start. The Cardinals are one of the teams he throws best against: 9-5, 2.77 in 21 lifetime appearances (20 starts), though they beat him up pretty good on August 9 at Wrigley Field, even though Z homered in that game. Albert Pujols also homered in that game (and so did three other Cardinals), but has only a .250 lifetime average vs. Z.

I was the same age as the kid in Pet Sematary when he was reading it, and I happened to look up at him and it unnerved him so much he had to put the book down.

It doesn't get any better than Santo

I was able to watch the first few innings yesterday before me and some buddies took of for our golf round. Fortunately we did not forget our radio/cooler. On the Sixth tee box I was able to hear the two quick outs but by the green Geo stepped up and smacked the home run. All of us started going crazy on the green along with Santo going completely ape shit. Huge Win and a great round on a beautiful day. It doesn’t get much better….except for October!

So she has thrown me a curveball. She says “You have to use a Brittany Spears song for when the Cubs win the division”

A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender says, “Hey, I haven’t seen you in a while. What happened, you look terrible!”
“What do you mean?” the pirate replies, “I’m fine.”
The bartender says, “But what about that wooden leg? You didn’t have that before.”
“Well,” says the pirate, “We were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit my leg but the surgeon fixed me up, and I’m fine, really.”
“Yeah,” says the bartender, “But what about that hook? Last time I saw you, you had both hands.”
“Well,” says the pirate, “We were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and my hand was cut off but the surgeon fixed me up with this hook, and I feel great, really.”
“Oh,” says the bartender, “What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes.”
“Well,” says the pirate, “One day when we were at sea, some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up, and one of them shat in my eye.”
“So?” replied the bartender, “what happened? You couldn’t have lost an eye just from some bird shit!”
“Well,” says the pirate, “I really wasn’t used to the hook yet.”

If it was Fielder, would guess he stayed up all

night patting himself on the back. With Geo, guessing it was from keeping the ladies away.

Fielder can't reach his own back. It's too far away from his front.

The question is

Why did he have a donut on his back?

by daeviant on Sep 19, 2008 11:43 AM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He just holds them there for safe keeping. I heard that

he can pack away a whole dozen that way.

Oh ok

I thought maybe he fell backwards onto a box of donuts in the clubhouse and someone said, “Hey Prince, you got a donut on your back”

holding a jelly donut in the other.

What are our girls here going to do?

Who will they have to fawn all over during the game? Oh, dear me this is distressing. I believe I will have a martini to calm my nerves. No Geo, simply unacceptable. Maybe he will pinch hit in the 15th inning and hit a walk off HR.
