looks like it's pouring at Shea at the moment, unfortunately the audio went out on my mlb.tv to get an update.

Submitted by Chad on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:15 pm

you have got to think they will wait this out. I don't think they will want to have a double header tomorrow on travel day.

Submitted by The Joe on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:16 pm

Nothing to update from the radio end either. Pat said they'd probably wait several hours before cancelling the game because there is expected to be a large crowd and because they wouldn't want a doubleheader on get away day.

Who?

Submitted by Indiana JJ on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:15 pm

Does that count as a major league park for that "record"? It was at Disney World right?

Submitted by tazan wallis on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:36 pm

Sosa is one of the really feel-good stories for the HGH industry this season.

Submitted by Bleeding Blue on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:37 pm

Considering the whole Orlando/WWS complex idea is turing out to be a very forgettable failure for the DRays, is really quite comical that Sammy has now locked the experiment into the record books.

Submitted by The Joe on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:39 pm

It's amazing, distance does make the heart grow fonder. I never liked him as a Cub, but I've actually starting pulling for him this year. Go Sammy. Baseball been vely vely good to you; you been vely vely good to baseball.

Submitted by Rob G. on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:40 pm

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!! Jerome Williams went back to the DL with a shoulder problem right after coming off it for an ankle injury. His replacement in the rotation: Micah Bowie!!!

Submitted by Indiana JJ on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:42 pm

Did Sammy homer in the Tokyo Dome when they played there? Just trying to think of anything similar to this one that wasn't in a normal MLB park.

Submitted by Rob G. on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:43 pm

doubtful, it was in April and he didn't hit homers in April. :) philly game started and cole hamels promptly struck out the first 3 batters.

Submitted by Rob G. on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:46 pm

and no he didn't, Grace and Andrews homered in the first game off Mets relievers. None in the 2nd game for any Cubbies.

Submitted by tazan wallis on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:47 pm

I have not found myself pulling for him. It's not strange. You can't call Bonds' assault on Aaron's record a fraud and then root for Sosa.

Submitted by The Joe on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:51 pm

Bonds is a jdouchebag. and a jerk. Sammy is only a douchebag. Plus, Sammy's vely vely big muscles are not proof enough of guilt. He's also not chasing a 'sacred' *cough, bullshit, cough* record like Bonds is.

Submitted by The Joe on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:09 pm

Nope. If he breaks what's-his-name's record then, well...I won't really care that much, I guess. But he's still a jerk. I hear he hates puppies. And gypsies. And Scandinavians, strangely enough.

Submitted by Carlos Rubi on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:29 pm

"Go Sammy. Baseball been vely vely good to you; you been vely vely good to baseball." Are you mocking Sammy's English? Do you know how hard it is to learn a second language when your mother tongue is a Romance language? ...just kidding.

Submitted by SJS on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:36 pm

I can't believe some people on here are pulling for Sammy, but they aren't pulling for Bonds. I hate both of them, but I'm just saying that's a little bit of homer-ism if you ask me. They are both selfish jerks, who are/were juice-ified, and who aren't half of the hitters that Banks, Mays, and Aaron were.

Submitted by Doug Dascenzo on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:52 pm

I'm pretty sure Sosa was on something, but there's still a difference between him and Bonds. Bonds actually tested positive, Sosa never did. Also, Bonds is a huge dickface who cheats on his taxes, leaves his friend/trainer to rot in prison, and cheats on his wife.

Submitted by Rob G. on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:54 pm

word from Mets radio was the tarp was off and it stopped raining, no time announced as far as I know.

Submitted by SJS on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:57 pm

Bonds never tested positive....he said he mistakenly took the clear. Sosa, he might have never tested positive either, but he happened to remarkably suck at the time testing became passed by the Union, and magically came back...he must have been spending that time learning english. Sosa is just as dirty as Bonds is...they are peas in a pod.

Submitted by tarzan wallis on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:10 pm

Sammy did take something that made him forget how to speak English one afternoon in Washington D.C. Mark McGwire took a similar drug that day that made it impossible for him to dwell on the past - only to look to the future.

Submitted by SJS on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:15 pm

Brewers are not just looking awful at the plate, they made 2 errors back to back in the bottom of the 6th....they somehow made it out of the inning without giving up a run even though the Phils loaded the bases.

Submitted by tarzan wallis on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:17 pm

Matthew Broderick told a funny story on Letterman one night about Sammy meeting him at Shea Stadium and offering him the opportunity to come party with him and a group of rather loose looking women seated nearby. I guess because Sammy's such a great guy we can assume the group was made up of his wife and her girlfriends. Broderick said it was the most bizarre first meeting of a famous person he'd ever had.

Submitted by djchi on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:19 pm

What's wrong with homerism? Barry's a douchebag and I won't cheer for him. Juicing is only a part of that. Sammy was a flawed individual too but he was one of us, so I'm pulling for him.

Submitted by The Joe on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:37 pm

How can you call it homerism? In my original comment, I said that I never liked him when he was a Cub, but I find myself rooting for him in spite of myself. That's not homerism, that's anti-homerism...bizarro homerism, if you will. Yes, Carlos, I'm making fun of Sammy's pronunciation...but mainly I was just making fun of his whole "baseball/I have been very good for me/baseball" schtick. I know you were responding in jest, but I wouldn't want to come off as insensitive, regardless. I wasn't intending to disparage Latin American's, though...just Sammy personally (that's how I remember HIM saying it). Moreover, I DO know how hard it is to speak any langauge as a second language (I work part-time in a Thai restuarant - long story), which is why I generally stick to the study of dead languages...no one knows if you speak it poorly. What was I talking about? Oh, yeah Sammy. He's silly. His Sammy-ness somehow just doesn't annoy me as much now that he's not on MY team. God love him...it's hard for everyone else to.

Submitted by Chad on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:49 pm

Homerism? Barry Bonds is a fucking asshole and everyone hates him. Sosa loves the fans and is a great guy. Oh, and he never admitted to taking steriods like Bonds did. And yes Bonds ADMITTED to taking them. Sosa's name has nevere been linked in any investigation. Not Balco, not Canseco and not Grimsley nothing nada zip.

doh.

Submitted by Kevin on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:22 pm

and yet another 2 out complete loss of composure for a cubs pitcher

Submitted by Matt on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:07 pm

I guess Cub hitters figured they'd take the rest of the series off after scoring 10 last night. Another mediocre pitcher looking like a Cy Young candidate.

Submitted by Kevin on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:19 pm

what a terrible performance by this team thus far, you can tell they dont care if they win or lose

Submitted by crunch on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:44 pm

its a cubs medical staff/hendry/US govt. coverup. he's got boneitis.

Submitted by tno on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:47 pm

Chad...Sosa loves the fans? Sosa loves fan appreciation weekend until the second inning Sunday. Please! Sosa loves Sosa and attention being paid to Sosa

Submitted by eli18 on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:47 pm

is it really important what the ailment is as long as it's keeping the player off the field? i hope that's not the case, but it might be worth the asking...

Submitted by tarzan wallis on Thu, 05/17/2007 - 05:32 am

Sosa's a great guy? What are you, twelve? You don't know anything about Sammy Sosa. If the Matthew Broderick story I mentioned above is any indication, he's no doubt just another selfish asshole.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far.

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.

    i have no hard data, but i'm seeing the same thing.

    there used to be some parks where that was rampant (colorado during the todd helton days comes to mind), but i'm seeing it all over the place the past couple seasons.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I’ll spare the details which I’ve stated before but, in short, the Cardinals have lost their sight of their successful identity and strategy over last several dominant decades. From the beginning of the season I saw the Cardinals being in last place or near it again this year, and my prediction is that Mozeliak will be gone after the end of the season.

  • Bill (view)

    I would have kept Cooper rather than Wisdom, but at least I can understand why they did it.  In a team that lacks dominant power hitters, Wisdom can be a dominant power hitter, at least in streaks.  I suppose that there is always the possibility that the streaks longer in both duration and frequency.  I will be content if they essentially make a 100 % DH commitment to Mervis against righties and Wisdom against lefties.  When a regular needs rest, give them total rest, rather than a DH rest.  Do this for at least 2 months, and then re-evaluate at that point.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    This is Cubs adjacent but…


    Jordan Walker just was optioned by the deadbirds. For all the talk of the Cardinals development machine, they’ve really missed on a lot of can’t miss superstars lately. Walker has struggled. Gorman has been okay. They’re already trying to push Carlson out the door. Their pitching system has been so bad they had to go out and sign basically a full rotation over the last two offseasons.

    They’ve still developed a few of those pesky solid players, like Donovan, Edman, and Nootbaar. Their two best prospect to MLB players have been Adolis and Arozarena, neither of which is a cardinal.

    I hope they never figure it out again. Cardinal failure brings me such joy.
