i hope this season is a classic. getting such good vibes (not just from the run in the first inning either, i promise)
― Karl Malone, Monday, 6 April 2015 00:29 (nine years ago) link
all the nl central games feel important this year
def because 3 of its teams have the potential to be great and the brewers could be goodish sustainably and...there are also the reds, they do stuff...

will lester attempt to throw to 1B?
― Karl Malone, Monday, 6 April 2015 00:43 (nine years ago) link
seriously weird he never threw to 1B in all of 2014, i mean how in the
would've really loved if he had and gotten kolten wong, would remind me of a certain other time kolten wong got thrown out at first
but alas

wainwright has no right to complain about the strike zone at this point
― Karl Malone, Monday, 6 April 2015 00:48 (nine years ago) link
but seriously, it is def just not a thing he does since 2011, seems like he would rather work himself out of jams
― slothroprhymes, Monday, 6 April 2015 00:49 (nine years ago) link
which did not really always work! but last year it was kind of a nonissue - until the wild card game.
― slothroprhymes, Monday, 6 April 2015 00:50 (nine years ago) link
two runs matted in already
― Karl Malone, Monday, 6 April 2015 00:53 (nine years ago) link
ouch, jon lester coming up in the 8th position in the order, TLR style, with 2 outs and a runner on 3B.
joe maddon...is a genius
― Karl Malone, Monday, 6 April 2015 00:59 (nine years ago) link
cool strike zone tonight
― Karl Malone, Monday, 6 April 2015 01:34 (nine years ago) link
it's...not consistent to say the least

that Heyward trade is already looking good, unsurprisingly
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 6 April 2015 01:50 (nine years ago) link
Cubs already giving us gifs, how nice of them
yikes, cubs kind of looking bad news bears out there right now!

yadi has a tiny guy butt now

Phil Coke is on the Cubs now?

I think Schilling just had a stroke trying to explain what's wrong with Martinez's mechanics.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 6 April 2015 02:43 (nine years ago) link
yeah, i watched that with the sound at a very low volume and it sounded insane
― Karl Malone, Monday, 6 April 2015 02:44 (nine years ago) link
i love watching martinez pitch. even when it's nerveracking. his pitches have such movement, you can't look away
― Karl Malone, Monday, 6 April 2015 02:45 (nine years ago) link
At least this is probably the last time I'll listen to the ESPN game crew this season.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 6 April 2015 02:46 (nine years ago) link
yikes, Soler having a rough time tonight.
― Karl Malone, Monday, 6 April 2015 02:52 (nine years ago) link
uh, i though Martinez was going to be starting?!
― AKA Thermo Thinwall (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 6 April 2015 03:10 (nine years ago) link
he is, but he's 5th in the rotation and the cardinals have 3 off-days in the first two weeks of the season, so he probably won't see a start for a while.
― Karl Malone, Monday, 6 April 2015 03:26 (nine years ago) link
ah.

el gallo's change is looking gooooooood, and should be a weapon against lefthanders this year.

heard that huge douchebag Curt Schilling was ripping on him during the opening night broadcast which makes me like Carlos more and more.

especially because the cubs are going to be dominating from 2016-?? and the pirates won't be far behind
I do think it is a cool retro design, but it is a total F.U. (aka the Cardinal Way).
Hey it's not bragging if you can back it up, I'm sure Cardinal fans will eat it up.

― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 14 April 2015 14:33 (nine years ago) link
I can't even hate. It's beautiful in a way. And it captures the Cardinal sense of superiority in such an exaggerated fashion that in some ways I think the bird is the ugliest stereotype there.
― Evan R, Tuesday, 14 April 2015 14:46 (nine years ago) link
heh, i lamented the scorecard's existence on the cardinals site on suggest ban nation and, shockingly, dozens of people think i'm a thin-skinned idiot. i did learn that the same artist has designed a few of the cards' scorecards though:

wrt to the calendars, i'm glad the cards aren't in the same division as the indians.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 16 April 2015 03:45 (nine years ago) link
Stan McNeal of Cardinals Gameday Magazine tweeted that the Cardinals placed Grichuk on the 15-day disabled list after Saturday's game due to a back injury he reportedly suffered in the weight room on Friday and promoted infielder Dean Anna to take his place on the bench.

I kinda wish the 'central' did include the White Sox, Indians and Tigers.
