Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

World Series Game Seven: Rangers @ Cardinals, 8:05 PM

Today is definitely the last day of baseball season. It's a little sad. Do you think the Rangers feel really stupid today? Not only because they blew a bajillion leads last night, but also because they are sending Matt Harrison out to pitch game seven against Chris Carpenter? Where is C.J. Wilson

In case you miss our old friend Gary Thorne, here he is calling last night's walk off for ESPN radio. I hope you don't feel too jealous when you hear him having a Thornegasm for another team.

Bobby V's recommendation for the Rangers:

‘Wear a different uniform!’

For all his faults, I’m glad Buck is the O’s manager and not this effing clown.

Don't talk shit about Bobby V please.

He is LITERALLY my favorite manager of all time.

There's gotta be someone...

Even if it’s just some senile old buzzard sitting at the bar who entertains you with his drunken conspiracy theories.
I dunno. I have no idea about anything Pujols did at a Beck rally or whatnot. So I admit I’m operating from a position of ignorance on that front. I just don’t think it should automatically damn someone to ostracism. He could just be poorly informed and easily susceptible to Beck’s brand of propaganda. Which, could mean that he is also able to be reasoned with.

Well, I read about it.

He was there to accept an award for his foundation… after he and TLR were “assured” the rally wasn’t political even though the person who spoke before them was none other than Sarah Palin. Um yeah right. Either that’s a load of BS or they’re pretty ignorant. I’m turned off by both choices.

by DCO'sfan on Oct 28, 2011 11:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm reading an article about it now

and I think its definitely possible by the tone of Pujols’ quotes that he really had no idea who Glenn Beck even was. La Russa, though, i’m more skeptical of.

As ZK put it, 158 days to go now...

Trouble is, even though I’ve already heaved a giant load of chunky-style all over this stoopid result — which, you’ll recall, I got in on the ground floor of fearing weeks ago — I STILL get no relief, ’cause 157 of those days will be spent having to listen to or read clueless douchebags blather away about the feeble virtues of the World Champeen St. Louis Cardinal Mediocrities.

And all I’ve got left by way of a response is dry heaves. This isn’t QUITE as bad as the ‘06 Cardinals, but it’s close.

We still suck, but on Sept. 29, 2011, we did a Very Cool Thing. Yeah, we did that.
