Ex-players to picket HOF Some former NFL'ers, wanting to draw attention to the inadequate retirement benefits of some, and their dissatisfaction with the NFLPA leadership, are hoping to make a statement in Canton, Ohio this summer.

C.C. Sabathia looks around Cleveland's clubhouse and sees something missing "There aren't very many African-American players, and it's not just in here, it's everywhere. It's not just a problem -- it's a crisis."

People look at Delgado or Reyes and think they are black. The are black but not Americans. The whole African-American label is ludicrous. I have a friend whose father was Egyptian, why isn't he African-American (his heritage is African and now he's an American). It's like the long list of peoples under the label "hispanic". Just as dumb. I noticed "Brazilian" was missing from the group only because they speak Portuguese instead of Spanish. Dumb!

The Better Part of Pete The Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame is planning an 11-month, 2000 square foot exhibit celebrating the playing career of Pete Rose. Notoriously banned from consideration by the National Baseball Hall of Fame, he is not a member of the club's Hall either. There is no formal statement regarding Rose's eligibility on their list of inductees page, but it does say that there was no induction from 1989 until 1998, and after that the election process was handed over to the Baseball Writers Association of America. Are the writers executing their own ban of Charlie Hustle?

There is an awful lot of misinformation already written above. Pete Rose was not even close to being the only player who hustled consistently. Enos (Country) Slaughter of the Cardinals always ran to first base on a walk or hip but the scribes took it for granted. Pete had a press agent touting him, Enos didn't. Joe Jackson was never accused of betting on baseball; he was banned for not reporting the knowledge that some of his teammates were planing to "throw" the 1919 world series. Joe Jackson was worlds more talented than Rose; many claimed at the time that he was the best natural hitter ever (in the era of Giants like Cobb, Speaker, Sisler, Lajoie, etc.)

End of an era for Houston Baseball One of the original Killer B's,Jeff Bagwell retires due to his well documented shoulder problem. Is he a future Hall of Fame inductee?
posted by mjkredliner at 09:10 PM on December 17
As a Cardinals fan I watched Bagwell a lot (he used to kill us). he should get in the hof, probably not on the first ballot although like many other special honors that has been badly diluted (Ozzie Smith, a first ballot guy: not if his name had been Harold Smith). Bags hit for average and power, ran well and played good defense until his body began to betray him. He'll get in and he should.

Morneau is your AL MVP What makes this even more impressive is that he was splitting votes with a teammate, Joe Mauer. That has hurt past candidates, including David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez. Morneau is the second Canadian-born player to win the MVP.

Like the NL, it's all about the home runs.

Phillies' Howard wins NL MVP, receives 20 first-place votes to runner-up Pujols' 12. BBWAA digs the long ball.

First time ever I've heard Barney Schultz quoted as an authority . We all remember Barney as such a deep thinker.

Those stats don't show average with men in scoring position (especially with two outs) and they neglect to mention the big no-no - strikeouts. You can't help your team much when you do not put the ball into play. Howard struck out 181 times compared to Puhols' 50 times (amazing stat in itself for a slugger). Puhols defines most valuable. Did anyone mention his game winning homers, most since Mays.

Starting, Relieving and Throwing Hard

If you put much stock in this stuff you might well conclude that Yadier Molina of the Cardinals is by far a better hitter than A-Rod, or am I the only one that didn't know that?

Is it that time already? Pitchers Barry Zito and Greg Maddux led the parade of 143 players who filed for free agency yesterday. Here's the full list of those heading for possibly greener pastures, including recent World Series participants Sean Casey and Jeff Weaver. Who goes where, who do you hope your team lands ... and who gets Daisuke Matsuzaka?

I agree about Suppan. He works hard but only fools the foolish. Does give a lot of innings but also a lot of runs. The Cardinals score a lot of runs and field behind him. Not everywhere he might go in the A.L. will be like that. But he will be vastly overpaid based on the weird market for pitchers. Albert Puhols would kill him.

Carpenter and Cards take 2-1 lead in series
posted by commander cody at 12:14 AM on October 25
Zzzzzzzz. You might have slept through it but both game 1 and game 2 had exciting 9th innnings. A well placed hit in either inning could have tied or won the game for the eventual loser. Well pitched games but still exciting.

Reyes Reminds Us Of Baseball's Greatness When Cardinals rookie righthander Anthony Reyes threw his first pitch, he became the official worst pitcher ever to start Game 1 for the unofficial worst team ever to play in a World Series.
posted by irunfromclones at 12:17 PM on October 23
The Cardinals aren't close to the worst team to ever be in a world series. In fact, they lost the world series to the worst team to ever appear, at least in my lifetime, in 1985.

Best... and worst buys in Baseball I'm sure there will be some controversy about this list... any thoughts about the worst buy in baseball?

don't know where everyone gets Puhols @ 14 million. the st. louis papers say he is 3rd highest paid player on cardinals (10 million) behind Edmonds and Rolen (both overpaid by comparison). Prince Albert is the best hitter in a cardinal uniform since Stan the Man, without question. And he's pushing Stan; give him six more years and we'll elevate him to even (never thought I would say those words in my lifetime).

So much for Pujol's run at the HR and RBI records St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols, the major league leader in HRs (25) and RBIs (65), injured his right oblique muscle in Saturday's game and might miss up to six weeks. He was on pace for 74 HRs and 192 RBIs, both of which would've been new MLB records.
posted by donnnnychris at 02:53 AM on June 04
Puhols isn't really about records. He is just a great hitter. Watching him often I sometimes pity the pitcher who gets him out too easily in his first at-bat. You can almost see Albert thinking about the at-bat. The next time up: BANG. St. Louis has been richly blessed. Stan the Man and Albert the Great in one lifetime.

giggles for sure. Henry Aaron the greatest player ever! giggle, giggle. come now, be serious for just a moment. he has fifty home runs more than Babe Ruth in only 4000 more at bats. very impressive! of course, he hit only .305 compared to Ruth's .342 but so what?

I've watched a zillion MLB games on tv and have never seen a woman in the dugout. Someone has way too much time on their hands to make a big deal out of a dumb but innocuous comment. The mets should count their blessings with Keith, they could really be embarrassed if they had to listen to the Cards Al Hrabosky all the time.

The pension should be raised for all who need help. They need to "means test" to see who the truly needed are. You probably don't want to see the pensions raised for Joe Montana and Steve Young. They made big bucks and surely are comfortably fixed. By the way, my monthly social security is $120.00. It should calculate to more than $400. a month but Uncle Sam has others ways to get you. He got me.
