Make Your Pregame Pick: YES or NO: Will an Angels pinch hitter appear in the game before the 7th inning?
You want to know how crazy Cardinals fans are? No, really,do you? Because, well... I just read one article, one little article about them and... well... Dey are all F'n Craaaaaaazzzeeee. These guys crapped cookies when Jimbo Showboat's number was given out to a rookie four seasons after Edmonbozo had left for the Cubs. You can READ IT HERE and be happy you are not this weird. Weirdest fans in baseball.
FWIW, the Angels played the Cardinals in St. Louis during the 2002 season.

The number outrage is hardly unique to Cardinals fans
I remember quite a few Angels fans freaking out when Michael Ryan was called up and given 27
~MMP~ - May 21, 2010
honestly
I had a fit about Terry Evans getting #17 (Erstad’s number)
ryanfea - May 21, 2010
I didn't even make the connection on the Evans thing
~MMP~ - May 21, 2010
I'd freak out if they assigned any of the following:
4 (Yeah, I know Alfredo Griffin has it) — Grich should have had his number retired long ago.
5
- Sorry Mathis, but Downing also should have had it retired.Salmon15 -
16 — GA
27
- Vlad, and yes, I do have a problem with Ryan wearing it, but I’m not anal enough to complain publicly until nowNick34 -

stupid SBN formatting.
red floyd - May 21, 2010
Don't use dashes...
Downing Rules - May 21, 2010
Noticed that too
Going back to the colon instead of the dash
Raaddad - May 21, 2010
I hate it when you have to go back to the colon… ;)
K3YEROUT - May 21, 2010
one of those signs you're getting old
Raaddad - May 21, 2010
Speaking of getting old.
I thought Son of Raaddad was joining HH, but I’m not sure if I’ve seen him. If he hasn’t joined up, tell him b0rd3rline is quite disappointed. He’s a cool kid.
Not sure what that has anything to do with getting old, but I figured I’d ask anyway. LOL.
b0rd3rline - May 21, 2010
He did ("Red Bandit"), b0
but he’s a little nervous. Plus, I have to pry him away from Facebook-ing his girlfriends (oh to be young again and know what I know now…).
Interestingly, at 13, his writing is far superior than that Spider dude whose post just got shit-canned…
Btw:
1. How did the exam go?
2. Are the Suns done?
Raaddad - May 21, 2010
Hmm.
That’s chill then, I was just making sure he wasn’t backing out on us.
1. I rocked the exam, no question. Thanks for asking.
2. If the Suns play the way they were from January to the end of Round 2, then they are far from done, and likely the series will return to LA tied 2-2. If they keep trying to be fancy and play scared, then it’ll be over by the end of next week.
b0rd3rline - May 21, 2010
Especially if you need a starter.
I don’t think he can cut it any more
red floyd - May 21, 2010
what about
25?

also in there is the amazing John Lackey injury clause as well that I have previously posted
Halos in DE - May 21, 2010
linky
Halos in DE - May 21, 2010
hiring a 13-year-old MC Hammer
That explains why they won from 72-74. After all MC told the opposing teams, “You can’t touch this!”
red floyd - May 21, 2010
This is one of those lovely games I have to root for Pujols to go 4-4 with 4 HR and 12 RBI yet the Angels still win.
Thanks fantasy baseball.
PhiSlamma - May 21, 2010
I wish pitchers got credited with batting stats in fantasy ball
Epic Dean - May 21, 2010
You have a fantasy league that values a batter's strikeout?
Nice.
Downing Rules - May 21, 2010
Halos also played IN ST. LOUIS in 2007
The Halos won two out of three in that series:
Win: 10 – 6
Win: 9 – 3
Loss: 6 – 9.
source
In 2002’s 3-game set, the Cards took two of three:
Loss: 2 – 7
Loss: 2 – 6
Win: 3 – 2

Downing Rules - May 21, 2010
Still trying to figure out how the Cards have yet to come to Anaheim...
yet, the Halos have been to STL thrice now.
Downing Rules - May 21, 2010
They flipped a coin, but La Russa always chose heads and it was one of those trick quarters?
~MMP~ - May 21, 2010
It's the food
Toasted ravioli and “St. Louis Style” pizza. The latter of which tastes like saran wrap melted on cardboard. Provel should be illegal.
T-ravs are actually pretty good and I try to make them at home every now and then.
ReggieBullits - May 21, 2010
And they have some pretty good BBQ,
Not as good as KC, but pretty damn good.
halofolife - May 21, 2010
The only time I was in The Lou
I had the baby backs at Jake’s Steak on 2nd St. and they were good. Probably not a proper comparison though to “real” St. Louis BBQ, and I’ve never been to KC so…
ReggieBullits - May 21, 2010
correct on both accounts
toasted rav is excellent…pizza is less than stellar. it’s like a cheese wiz lovers dream….definitely takes some getting used to. that town is CRAZY about their cards, especially “albert.” he’s like their ivan drago….when the anthem is played the flag comes out and has his pic on it, crazy!
SCHalo - May 21, 2010
Forgot to mention
Fried Pickles. Crazy, crazy, crazy (but tasty).
ReggieBullits - May 21, 2010
Raise your hand if you stupidly made your pregame bet before thinking about the fact that this is a NL-rules game?
/raise
AlanFalcon - May 21, 2010
Still
the chances of a pinch hitter before the 7th with Pinata?
Raaddad - May 21, 2010
Raised

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little

ooh. good point.
too bad I said “no”… dadgummit.
Downing Rules - May 21, 2010
That'd be me
Completely forgot about game being in a NL park.
Bet 5000 (and giggled the whole time).

Meanwhile...left coast spider's post is *poof* gone! He is now an un-person.
LAA Surfin’s comment/photo were accurate. I guess Reagins gets to stay around a bit longer…

What I miss
This is the 2nd reference to this post.
Damn it, between actually working & Pacman google my time at HH is suffering
Seik1177 - May 21, 2010
Kohn promoted to SLC
LINKIE
I think that a lot of us got our wish. Despite getting lit up in his last outing at Arkansas, Kohn was promoted.
K3YEROUT - May 21, 2010
I see that MMP has a fanshot about this already...missed that somehow
