Grindin'

Tkachuk is gone. Guerin is still here. Metropolit jersey's will go on sale soon. Chris Carpenter will throw the nastiest junk changeup anyone's ever seen. Pujols will still hit it 513 feet. I'd trade Pujols and Carpenter for nothing, not even for a speechless Jessica Simpson waiting on me day and night. I'd trade Guerin for a speechless Jessica Simpson however. Leo Lyons really isn't any better than a life size cut out of Leo Lyons would be. Is Keon Lawrence the next Kareem Rush or the next Jason Conley? Adam Timmerman is gone. Can Kevin Curtis please stay and play? Whatever happened to Jose DeLeon? If you add a lazy seven footer and a kid who can't play basketball, you get Ian Vouyoukas.


IS IT SAFE TO SAY:
*Larry Pleau's seemingly non-existence from the Blues front office picture is a good thing?
*If you don't believe in divine intervention, you do after hearing the tragic story of the Damien Nash family?
*If you still don't believe in divine intervention, you can call the Gardner household and ask for Rulon?
*NCAA men's college basketball is, competitively, about as wide open as Alexs Maric was in the low post against Leo Lyons on Saturday?
*The future of Adam Timmerman as a professional football player probably isn't bright?

Our Prophets Speak:

Lou Piniella on Jason Marquis: “He’s probably strung a little tighter. I think he’s the type of pitcher that when things aren’t going good, instead of pitching, he takes the malt-liquor-bull type of approach. Those are things we can work at a little bit.”

Sammy Sosa, on being alive: “I’m a little older. It doesn’t mean I can’t hit you 30 or 40 home runs. What’s the deal? You think I’m dead?”
