    WWE suspends 10 wrestlers

    I thought of this today. Since Kennedy has missed more than a month's time with his injury since the alleged time he received drugs, WWE could say that that was his suspension time

    This Week in Baseball 7/9 - 7/15

    Using Pujols for Hudson would've been stupid considering it was only a game tying AB, barring a homer...Hudson is a decent enough RBI guy for that situation. But unless he's injured or something, leaving Rowand in there instead of Pujols will be one I'll never be able to wrap my head around. I'm from STL, so I've seen a lot of La Russa screwups (although for the most part I've liked him as the manager), but this one ranks up there. On a side note, I found it hilarious that Buck and McCarver were talking up JJ Putz at points throughout the game and he came in and just about copied the Brad Lidge NLCS meltdown from 2005. I expected K-Rod to be wild because it's something we've seen before. Rowand had a terrible AB against him. If he was taking that 1st one which was a get me over fastball, he should've been taking 2, especially the one he swung at looked up and away.

    Wii's Madden is good, but I kept getting annoyed because at least once a game I'd fuck up a kickoff or a punt

    World Series: Tigers vs. Cardinals

    Yadier Molina was the clear cut MVP, while Eckstein came up big the last 2 games, Molina was consistent not only throughout this series hitting over .400 but coming up huge for the entire playoffs.

    World Series: Tigers vs. Cardinals

    The only time the mistakes even mattered were tonight. Game 1: Cards offense pounded Verlander and Reyes pitched them to a win. Game 2: Rogers pitched a gem, pine tar or not, and the Tigers little offense won them the game. Game 3: Carpenter pitched a gem, and Edmonds double was the difference. Not the Zumaya error, it only added insurance, which wasn't needed because the Tigers plated zero runs, regardless. Game 4: Cardinals fought back to 3-2 with clutch hitting from Eckstein, Rolen and Molina. Then, they caught a break with Granderson slipping on a wet field and Rodney threw a ball away. After that, it was timely hits by Wilson and Eckstein (Monroe was playing in and he got it hit over his head, this was not a defensive lapse). This is not as fluked as you are going on about. Yes, the Tigers have been flat. But you can't blame it all on defense and the layoff. Give credit to the Cards pitching which has been stellar throughout the postseason.

    World Series: Tigers vs. Cardinals

    What do you mean start? They already did it by blowing the division getting swept by the Royals, so is it really any surprise that they are coming up short here, against a team far better than KC?

    World Series: Tigers vs. Cardinals

    That is a picture of Rogers hand in the ALCS (left) and the World Series. Strange coincidence that there is "dirt" in the exact same spot on his hand, right? I think that's all the proof one would need. Also, the stories Rogers and the umpires are telling have clashed. The umpire said he had asked Rogers to wash whatever it was off his hand, while Rogers denied that and said the umpire only told him to take less time between pitches.

    World Series: Tigers vs. Cardinals

    I don't know where everyone is getting that the Cardinals pitching won't be able to hold off Detroit. You can say all you want about how mediocre they look on paper but they did throw 5 of 7 quality starts against the Mets who were arguably the best offense in MLB this year, and the bullpen has been pretty much nails. And are you all forgetting that Pujols had just one RBI in the NLCS as well? Everyone said before the playoffs that the Cardinals would have to get production from somewhere other than Pujols in the playoffs and they're doing exactly that, yet people continue to write them off.

    NLCS: St. Louis Cardinals vs. New York Mets

    Uhh, his 2 starts, wins, against San Diego were both quality. He had a rough first inning in Game 4 allowing 2 runs but shut them out for 6 following. In game 1, he allowed 1 run over 6 and a third.

    NLCS: St. Louis Cardinals vs. New York Mets

    I was mainly referring to sportswriters, check the ESPN.com predictions, only one of like twenty people on that panel picked the Cards over the Padres

    NLCS: St. Louis Cardinals vs. New York Mets

    Of course no one is giving St. Louis a chance. They didn't in the last series either, yet their inexperienced bullpen and shaky rotation managed to hold a team that was 14-6 with 102 runs scored in their last 20 games of the regular season to 6 runs over 4 games. Say what you want about San Diego having an impotent offense, it is difficult to turn a hot hitting team ice cold like that, especially when so much criticism was being brought down from sports writers about the Cardinals staff and how it was Chris Carpenter with a bunch of question marks. Also 2 of those Padre wins came at St. Louis and one was against Carpenter. Yes the Mets will probably win this series but you can't write off the Cardinals as rolling over and dying. Yes they have done that the past two seasons but this time they aren't actually favored to win anything.

    NLDS: St. Louis Cardinals vs. San Diego Padres

    And that one run was surrendered by Carpenter, crazy huh?

    NLDS: St. Louis Cardinals vs. San Diego Padres

    Tony really needs to play the numbers and start Weaver in game 2 because he has had much more success on the road this season. However, I am not too worried about the Cards' rotation seeing as Weaver has been decent over his last so many starts (I think they said his ERA was just over 4 in his last 10 starts or something), and Suppan has been excellent in the 2nd half, and pitched a great game on Saturday to end the season. Though Carpenter coughed up his last 2 games the guy is money. I think it's clear that he just had a tired arm. His last start was a week ago, so he should be feeling pretty good.

    Yeah, that was the same thing I always thought.
