Why Am I Upset ? Texas Bullpen Collapse Gives Cards Game 6 10-9

Bruce — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 13:51:13 +0000

28 years is way too long not to be in a World Series. Therefore every year I kind of pretend that the AL team is my team.

Ron Washington is a much more likeable guy then LaRussa. If I lived in St Lous I would still be upset about the Hawks leaving because I could never be a baseball fan. La Russa turns games into boring epics with his incessant changes.

None of the announcers said that Cruz played a fly ball that should have been caught into a triple. I just don’t know enough about Texas to know if Washington had any moves left to put in his best defensive team. Markakis would have been waiting for that ball to fall in his glove. Cruz has a great arm but…………..

So tonight the stars are lined up against Texas—Carpenter pitching —Big Mo is on the Cards side—the starter for Texas got hammered in his last start—Feliz was pathetic—Holland was used up–St Louis , probably the best baseball town in America is at fever pitch–La Russa plays every game likes its the 7th game–Things couldn’t be any better for a Cardinal victory

My prediction–Texas 5 Cards 3

Unbelievable, John Lackey, Jon Lester, and Josh Beckett betrayed Red Sox nation by doing the above during games on their days off.

Living Lock?—No Way—Yankees Are Done!!!!!!

Bruce — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 06:02:40 +0000

Is there a home field edge in baseball–I doubt it. The Yankees went down to defeat with their big guns failing to produce when it counted. Let’s go to the bottom of the 7th. Tigers up 3-1 –bases are loaded with the heart of the lineup—Arod stikes out—–Tex draws a walk with 2 favorable calls—-Swisher strikes out. Ouch!!!In the bottom of the 9th Valverde backed up his boasting getting the Yanks out 1-2-3- for his 50th save. Heads will start to roll in New York.

Yankees “A Living Lock” To Win Tonight Vs The Tigers

Bruce — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 04:54:48 +0000

Here’s a few reasons why:

Ivan Nova vs Doug Fister—history usually repeats itself

The game is in New York

The Tigers will not use Verlander no matter what but CC is available

Definitely worth watching.

Meanwhile the 2 NL series will go to a 5th game on Friday as Zona and St Louis evened the score. Look for the Phillies with the best pitcher in baseball Roy Halladay to prevail. Prince will go deep and the Brewers will defeat Arizona.

What could be better–the Yanks and Red Sox gone from the playoffs.

McCourt Offered 1.2 Billion For The Dodgers

Bruce — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 03:12:32 +0000

Dodgers owner Frank McCourt has reportedly been offered $1.2 billion to sell the team to Los Angeles Marathon founder Bill Burke.A letter to McCourt outlining the offer was disclosed to The Los Angeles Times by sources close to the situation. The letter states that the offer would be funded in part by Chinese investors.
The sales price would be a record for a major league franchise, breaking the mark set two years ago when the Ricketts family paid $845 million to buy the Chicago Cubs from Tribune Co.

Some folks can do no wrong.
