Baby Dolls are for Yankees

It was a week of firsts for me. It was the first time I was able to catch an entire Sportscenter episode since the summer began. And it was also the first time I got to watch any bit of Cardinal substance on TV. On Sportscenter, I, fittingly, caught the evening that contained A-Rod's cheap shot at Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia. Obviously A-Rod's cowardliness came to no surprise and I was left laughing at his stupid post-game comments.

Let's get one thing straight. This kid is a hell of a baseball player. But he's also a gigantic, whining pansy who wears pink low-cut underwear to bed at night and wakes up each morning complaining about a hangnail. Then proceeds to take cheap shots during baseball games the way someone who's on baseball's highest pay-roll team and is 11 games out of first place would. The Yankees suck. And I'll be the first to say nothing makes me happier.

The Cardinal game I got to catch was yesterday's 6-2 let-down at Coor's against the Rocks. I was hoping, and was supposed to, make the trek north to catch the series but I got sidetracked with a better option. Can you believe that? A better option than watching the Cardinal game? Never thought I'd say it.

It blows my mind however that my first Cardinal game of the summer came without Rolen, Edmonds, and Duncan in the line-up. I don't understand why Tony does this. Why take all the homerun threats (besides Pujols and Taguchi) out of the lineup? Our lineup isn't scary when it's at its best, and it looks like a team the Nationals would field without Edmonds, Ballgame, and Baby Dunc. Sit them one at a time if they need rest, but not all three. C'mon, Tony. Are you losing your edge?

Is Tony losing his edge?

Game 2. Softball. Tomorrow night. Jose...any predictions?

I haven't checked the Colorado forecast, but Im predicting rain, and lots of it. However, if the rain does hold off long enough to allow play, I'm predecting many local softball records will fall to the overpowering, lazer armed, speed deamon, Mr. D. Unterreiner. My exact box score is still in consideration at this point, but it will be impressive.
