Simon says (said): Tigers in 6. Like, who's favored anyway? But ya gotta figure LaRussa's gonna do his part to make it exciting. It was almost a no brainer for Tony to have Belliard squeeze in the 2nd, but it still looked like the Mets were caught by surprise. So, no one else has HD and saw Pujols with his cold sores, eh? oh well. :unsure:

Pretty dramatic right down to the last strike, eh? Congrats to the Cardinales... btw, am I the only one to find it gross to see close ups of Pujols licking the cold sores on his lips? eeeeww! :blink: :blink:

I wonder what one might find if s/he were to do a GOOGLE search on each of those names....?

Since LindaZ is one of our biggest fans here at the ol' cafe, I figgered this would be a good place to invite all of us from the 9th to wish her a HAPPY B'DAY!

Yeah, it just ain't in Pujols' approach to the game to do that to Floyd... Phat Albert's too good to need to get an edge by toying with the opponent. Now, I believe it was Maine who did make Pujols look foolish by getting him to strike out, swinging at, and missing, pitches that were entirely nowhere near the strike zone. And I suspect Leyland has devised ways to keep his team from losing it's edge despite the extended rest.... we'll see. Oh, pahleeze... I hope you're not doing that in public!

Oh, come on Tom, admit it... this year's WS is nothing compared to the expectation that the Tejas stRangers will win it all in 2007, to perpetuate the role of Buck Showalter to build a team only someone else can lead to the WS championship!!!!

Hey TommyStrange... glad to see YOU!!! I hope you brought the sno-cone machine!

Hey niKa, I donno if it's a 3 or 4 count but it's good enough to dance to!!!!

Thank you my dear friend Jalapeno! Nice to see you again, tooooo! I don't know about WHIPPING anyone into shape... perhaps some WHIPPED cream on top of a sno-cone would be nice, however. That is if our dear Strange friend stops by soon with his sno-cone machine!

R.I.P. 2006 Oakland Athletics! Rhino, your powers of prediction are simply ASTOUNDING! Boy that bottom o' the 9th was pretty exciting today! (the one in Detroit) When will you have your NLCS winner prediction ready?

The Parole Board finally got in touch! Thanks for the mention.

How very nice of Mr. Rhino to let me know he remembers me! You're a scholar and a gentleman.

Tnks Excie dear... nice to be back... and a big MWAH to you and all of my 9th corpse friends... :x

Indeed! Thank you LindaZ to all the 9th and fans of the 9th

Ditto for me, too! Our local print media has reminded us here in the desert that Lidle was one of the original players taken by our hometown Diamondbacks in the expansion draft back in 1997. But he never played for the D'backs.

Tnks dmiller... and Mr. Zelotes, no ankle bracelets or anything... I served my time and thought I saw a yeller ribbon round the ol' oak tree just outside the Cafe!

I can see the sunlight again!

Thank you Radar! How do you spell Radar backwards? :D--> You talkin to me?

well, let me introduce you to my best friend, Prozac! :D--> You talkin to me?

sorry dougie... I edited the earlier post... :D--> You talkin to me?

JT was implying that Clinton is a Rhodes Scholar, not Martindale. And Steve!, I think Clinton probably is a Rhodes Scholar. :D--> You talkin to me?

Kaboom shower and tub cleaner.... works as well as advertised on tv... got it in my local grocery store. :D--> You talkin to me?

Point of fact: PJ changed his post AFTER Rafael's first response post. I didn't make a copy of the first draft, but I did read it before it was changed. Also, while I understand Catcup's anger, I believe Oakspear's insight answers it most appropriately. Rafael's response was very reasonable. :D--> You talkin to me?

:D--> You talkin to me?

niKa, JesusFreaky told me the other day he is no longer in TWI and he lives in Gatlinberg (sp?) TN. I have a framed print of a pencil drawing of eagles that he did many moons ago. That print is the inspiration for the tattoo I plan to get soon... :D--> You talkin to me?
