It also makes Roy Oswalt's back hurt.
That one makes sense though
Poor Roy. Wonder if he feels like he got what he wanted out of the Phillies deal.

Well, to be fair, hotel bars pretty much always suck. The Marriot in downtown just has Anchor bottles and Fat Tire on tap. There is damn good beer to be had in St Louis.

Interesting point: was Pence out?
From Chris Singleton on with Sciambi, Nat broadcast.
He says in his view sliding in feet first at 2nd like Pence did and popping up more often makes the ump call out.
The flip side argument that J. Miller makes all the time is if you slide head first the fielder straddling the bag as they’re taught can easily block you with his foot. Feet first you can inflict Bill Hall damage if they do that.

Rosterbation
Ryan Doumit as backup catcher/fifth outfielder? He’ll have to take care not to swallow his shinguards, but I would imagine that 60 games of terrible defense is more than balanced out by 100 games of spectacular defense. He robably won’t cost too much, either.
"Forget it, Jake. It's academic."
LOL terrible defense
They survived Whiteside this year, I don’t think that need be a hurdle any more.
But they’re not going to spend on someone like that this year. Again.

Heh. Depends on what cancer you’re talking about. There’s no such disease as cancer—it’s not like when you’re suffering from strep or something. Cancer is really quite heterogeneous, and sure, certain types of cancer we might have cures for, but probably not all.

He’s way too young to trade for Ross, their salaries don’t match, Cards have him for the min until 2013 when he’s arb eligible. He’s not likely to go anywhere, Cards know they have a solid player.

is also a free agent in two months, likely reducing his trade value somewhat.

I tweet (and occasionally blarg) | Your San Francisco Giants: "Together We're Broken!"
During 2010, Baseball-Reference unveiled a new feature: current and historical WAR values on each of its player pages. This WAR (referred to as rWAR) uses the same framework as FanGraphs’ version (fWAR), but has three main differences:
1. Pitcher Value: fWAR relies totally on FIP, making it a defense-independent metric, while rWAR adds in defensive runs saved as well.
2. Calculating Defense: Each system uses a different defensive metric. fWAR uses UZR, while rWAR uses TotalZone (developed by Sean Smith). UZR is more accurate but is only available from 2002 onward, while TotalZone values can be calculated for any player in baseball history.
3. Baserunning: rWAR includes this, while fWAR doesn’t.
From here.

“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” -Steve Jobs

My roommate last year was a Yankees fan (as well as Lakers, Cowboys, and USC). I have two other friends who are Yankees fans as well. And, in my experience, they are less obnoxious than Phillies fans because while they do believe they should win every year, when they do win it’s not all, “HAHAHAHA SUCK IT LOOOZERS MY TEAM IS INSANELY BETTER THAN YOURS BECAUSE YOU SUCK AND ARE SUPER OBNOXIOUS AND WE AREN’T AND I HATE YOU” And – also in my experience – Yankees fans do recognize that they spend a shitload of money on their players instead of staying in denial like other teams’ fans do.

LOL Sullivans. It's like the major sports leagues are going all-in on making the Northwest into a soccer stronghold.
It’s odd how evenly distributed the good and bad teams are throughout that chart. I wonder if there’s correlation between average length of game and quality (and/or lack thereof) of pitching/hitting. I see the Mariners at the bottom and think, ‘well, yeah; their entire season at the plate was a 1-2-3 inning.’ Then I see the Phillies just a few steps above them and think, ‘well, yeah; their entire season on the mound was a 1-2-3 inning.’

You see, if the Yankees succeed while the Red Sox fail, Red Sox fans can still bitch about them and do their whole “sky is falling” routine. They can always take that Yankees win and make it about themselves. But if neither team makes the World Series, then it isn’t as easy to do. It isn’t as easy to be like, “Noooo!
