Bonds: "So, they haven't caught you either?"Pujols: "It's amazing what being nice to the media will do for you."
Let me begin this post by saying the following: Always save your work as you go.
With that said, the Cardinals suck.
The Cardinals lost again Tuesday night to the Mets 4-1. The Mets have now taken a 5-4 lead in the NLCS.
StL is now 0-2 and on pace to lose every game for all of eternity as a curse for winning the World Series when they shouldn't have. I think it is safe to say the Cardinals sold their soul to the devil last year. Isn't it obvious at this point?
Hey Joel, you don't have to worry about Carpenter losing you 30 points on Friday.
ROYALS RULE!
Enough about sucky teams, lets talk about the Royals! Alex Gordon went 5-5, hitting for the Home Run cycle, Ryan Shealy tripled four times and David DeJESUS stole nine bases en rout to a 70.5- minus 7 win over the Boston Red Sox Monday. Oh, wait, that was just the score to the Krunk Smurfs/The Zou Fantasy baseball match-up this week. My bad.
In real life, Gil Meche threw 7-plus innings of 1 run ball to give the Royals a 7-1 win. It was their best Opening Day win since 1979 according to Joe Posnanski.
I'm not going to lie, I debated crying at certain points of that game. Specifically when a ground ball was hit to the shortstop and I remembered there is no reason to panic anymore. Then there was Meche's standing ovation as he was taken out of the game and, this time, it was for a good reason. There was also the moment where I thought Gordon was going to go through the begining stages of whatever it is that eventually led Zack Greinke into his depression when Gordon came up to bat with the bases loaded with one out in the first inning. Oh, and I also almost cried when Peralta successfully went through one and two-thirds innings without giving up a run. A ROYALS RELIEF PITCHER ACTUALLY RELIEVED!
I feel decent about this team right now. How can I not? I mean, our starting rotation doesn't involve this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy or this guy. Heck, we might as well have this starting rotation.
You should check out what Curt Schilling had to say about his start in his blog.
THE ZOU = MIZZOU
Erik should have realize that when he named himself after the University of Missouri, there was no way he would ever win a championship. How many conference championships has MU won since the creation of the Big 12? The answer to that question is the same as name the number that is a factor of 7. Well, I guess in Erik's case, -7.
Don't worry though Erik, you have six months left to try to get back to zero. I set the over/under at week 17 as the week he gets back to zero.
Or you could try that "Edit Team Name" button on your Team Page. Might be a good idea.
Seriously, The Zou actually has 6.5 points so far, but its a shaky 6.5. What is keeping his head above water is a dominate performance from relief pitcher Jonathan Broxton who struck out the side in his one inning of work. That earned him 10.5 points and is the difference in Erik being in the Black instead of the Red.
Things are not looking to much more promising either. His starting pitcher look as such:
Dan Haren vs LAAAAAAA Angels
Matt Garza vs Chicago White Sox
Scott Olson vs Philadelphia Phillies
Jeremy Sowers vs Chicago White Sox
Derrek Lowe vs San Francisco Giants
His closers, Broxton (@ SF) and Joe Borowski (@ ChiW, SEA) do not look like they will get too many save opportunities either.
Hey, it's a good thing he didn't have Carpenter, Schilling or Zambrano.
I'VE BEEN TOLD I'M TOO NEGATIVE SO I HAVE TO WRITE THIS
Congrats to Florida for beating Ohio State (again) to take the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship (again) Monday night.
It has been said that they are in a dead heat with Ohio State for an Oscar. I wonder who will win...
