Sabathia almost pitched a no hitter. Felt bad for him when Tampa Bay got a hit To say that I'm mad is an understatement, but still, 1 hit in the whole game is still pretty dang impressive.

Something is wrong with Chris Carpenter last year he allowed only 7 home runs total over the 09 season. In his starts over 11 innings he's allowed 5 runs in 2 games including three in Milwalkee, where he threw a complete one-hitter in his last start at Miller Park. However I thoroughly enjoyed watching Trevor Hoffman have 2 blown saves.
Pujols and Holliday back to back only to be thwarted by a Walk-off when I saw the pitch I shook my head before the bat hit. Ugh.

At least Opening Day is tomorrow, but it's against the Astros who are...0-6. Wow...I remember when they were still fighting the Cardinals in the post-season. Since they used Oswalt against Halladay(Which was futile!) and no Berkman I'll forget the two losses. I'll just remember the blown saves and the start by Garcia, if he's our number 5 this'll be a good year. (AS SOON AS CARPENTER STOPS THROWING OVER THE PLATE! AND FIXES HIS MECHANICS!)

Final notes for weekend

Who saw Milton flipping the Bird to Ranger's fans? Oh the lawls, he's not helping again.

Yankees win......BOOOOOO!!!!

What's with all the errors this weekend? Check the highlights, balls out of gloves, wild pitch wins, even slpstick courtesy of Boston. WTF?

Goddamnit...sweeped by the Blue Jays AT HOME. Our rotation is so bad. Kevin Millwood plays great and then suddenly decide to screw up right at the end with those two homers (even though he has an ERA of 2.13 he doesn't have a W yet!). And don't get me started on Mike Gonzalez FFFFF. Now the Rays come to town to do the same. Get the hell out.

Dallas Braden of Oakland throws a Perfect Game against the Tampa Bay Rays, okay we get it. Stay off his mound, that goes double for you A-Rod!

Give it, time. His ERA will climb up there before the season's out. Trust me.

If they keep playing the Rangers, Rays and the rest of the AL East and top of the central it will. Nelson Cruz and Vlad Guerrero smacked them. Cleveland, Royals, Mariners, Red and White Sox, if you can play only them then Baltimore might stand a chance.

Who saw what the Braves did to Cinci? I did! Down 9 to 3 and scored 7 including a walk off grand slam by a bench player. Combined with a Cardinal win, Cincinatti is no longer in first. Yeah!

But Interleague play starts this week Who thought that was a genius idea?

I say that as a Rangers fan who watched Millwood pitch for four years. He tended to start strong and finish...well, not so strong. It could be the Texas heat. It's doomed manys of our pitchers.

[Insurrection]

I wouldn't say that about CJ Wilson or Feliz though. However Feldman does do better on the road.

Ken Griffey JR Retired today. I gotta say im a little affected by this, back when i was an impressionable kid, when sports stars were my heros, Jordan and then Griffey JR were a big deal to me. I collected a lot of his baseball cards. Hes a true legend, and retires with 630 homers. And unlike his other 90's slugger counterparts he wasn't linked to steroid abuse. Such a shame he got injured. Heres to to his phenomenal career.


And thatg really sucks for that detroit pitcher who got screwed out of a perfect game.

Jim Joyce blows Detroit Tiger's Pitcher Armondo Galarraga's Perfect Game on the Final Out. He Got Denkingered on one of the worse calls I've ever seen, and I'm a Cardinal fan!

Update:Okay, Jim Joyce is my new friend, but Bud Selig is not. He blew it big time, he could've overturned the game, and would the analysts on TV STOP SAYING IF THE GAME IS OVERTURNED THAT CARDINAL FANS WOULD WAIL ABOUT THE 85 CALL!!! Damnit, this is 2010, quit bringing it up this is a different situation!

I know it's Pittsburgh, but Holy Mother. That's a good start!

Oh I love these moments.



Guess what? He's been suspended indefinitely like Bradely was Last Year, and is still owed 2.5 years of a 5 year 91 million contract by the Cubs. HA!!! And in this video Jake Peavy also shows why he's a better pitcher in the National League.

Cliff Lee traded to the Rangers. Texas is clearly in win now mode. While I definitely like getting Justin Smoak back, I don't know about the other three players.

Your thoughts, Nate d00d?

I hate losing Smoak, but between him and Chris Davis, one was eventually going to be traded. Smoak is a far more patient hitter, but if we had to lose him, Cliff Lee was worth it. I've heard a lot of praise of Bleaven, so he might be a good pick up as well.

We have decent starting pitching, but not real ace, so I can't complain.

The Rangers would have made the playoffs anyway, but I doubt they would have won anything. This gives us a chance. We're still an underdog, but closer to a legit contender. The sad thing is I doubt we can resign him, even if Ryan/Greenberg complete the sale soon, it'll be hard, so it's a rental, but sometimes you got to try and we were able to do it without giving up Perez, Holland, or Scheppers.

I wish Lowe wasn't hurt. Our bullpen is good, but overworked and we traded Ray for Benji Molina. He'd be a nice addition.

We gave up quite a bit, but got an ace without selling the entire system. So, I'm happy.

DOOD!

Dan Haren has been traded to Anaheim and is happy about it. Dbacks are given Joe Saunders and three minor leagers. Texas will still win the West, they are in my top five teams and have a seven game lead, but Angels have an upgrade for the moment. Update: AND THANKS TO YOUKILIS NOW THEY DON'T.

In other news Buster Posey is amazing making the Giants the leaders in the Wild Card, NL central is a fight to the finish.

Whitey Herzog made it into the hall of fame along with Andre Dawson. (EXPOS BE PRAISED!!!) Making Sunday night Baseball on ESPN the hall of fame game. Cards v Cubs. Herzog wins.

UPDATE: NO HITTER MATT GARZA!!!

ROY HALLADAY HAS THROWN A NO HITTER AGAINST THE CINCINNATTI REDS IN GAME 1 OF THE NLDS.

[Insurrection]

Now normally I know posting like this would be a bad thing. BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT. Especially because this has implications.

CLIFF LEE HAS AGREED TO TERMS WITH THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES FOR FIVE YEARS 115 MILLION. HE'S TROLLED BOTH TEXAS AND NEW YORK!!!

I really don't like it, one of these days it's going to become too expensive and a team will either have to pay until the end of the world or go broke. Also the fact that the Phillies have become the Yankees and Damnit I hate Boston and New York!
