the Greinke trade is unfortunate because it means Charmaine on United States Of Tara will be heartfallen. as to making the Brewers relevant again, i dread it. but i don’t anticipate it.
the Cardinals didn’t just deal Ryan, they dealt him to the worst baseball city in America. hope you will be okay, bro.
"it's irresponsible as an organization." →
TLR inadvertently issues a correct diagnosis, albeit from the opposite direction. more spin, in other words.
VEB also sees lean years. →
everyone saying i’m a negative Nancy and a conspiracy theorist can fuck right off.
actually no, this is a nice blog.
but could someone tell me, in her nicest way, what the fuck the Cardinals are doing over there? because i can’t remember the last time they had a player as on display as Brendan Ryan is right now. you have to feel sorry for that bro. he fields balls that are batted...
The End of the Brendan Ryan Era →
belatedly: allusions to Boog’s “shifty personality” as though he’s a rodential villain from a thirties movie. as regards the young guys my thesis stands; essentially trading Jay for Berkman is more dismal confirmation.
Goold says Berkman played 3B in college. frustration squiggle! hopefully TLR doesn’t follow him, Goold, on Twitter cause next thing you know he, TLR, will be reenacting the Sparky Anderson-Pete Rose talk from 1975. much as i like Jon Jay, for Fat Elvis it’s the outfield or nothing.
so Fat Elvis comes to StL and if he can be Larry Walker for awhile that’d be great, thanks.
i’ll have to dig up Berkman’s defensive stuff in LF as opposed to RF but if there’s no discernible difference i don’t see how they move Holliday after the UZR year he had. not that they care.
yesterday B.J. Rains tweeted to the effect that they’re devaluing Brenden Ryan on purpose so they can resign him for less money. because this is like, easier than just concentrating fully on J.J. Hardy. it still amounts to a campaign of innuendo.
things could be worse. we could be the Dodgers.
re: Brendan Ryan’s disfavor among various oldsters, “everyone knows” as i understand its usage is a euphemism to make us all feel better about not knowing much at all. anyhow that’s what Chuck Klosterman would say.
by which i mean: no, i can’t prove any of this. i’m reading between the lines and maybe going on gestures and expressions toward Ryan in certain...

the original homer.
Ryan Theriot!
stay hilarious, Cardinals front office.
everyone knows Brendan Ryan is unliked by all the older players. and everyone knows TLR is of the George Allen suasion and believes in giving older players whatever they want.
to tweak a Thom Yorke analogy, if Cardinals management were the UN, TLR would be America.
more positively, a really obscure Rule 5 post on VEB got 800+ comments...
