Not Worthy

But satisfying...
Don't you feel sorry for Tony LaRussa. His poor Cards get swept by the Dodgers. All the crying in the world does him no good, even at home. 2 Runs in 3 games, but best of all a game 2 blow of a game that will live for the ages.
My tears are with you Tony...

Bite me
The Cards can never lose bad enough for me. F LaRussa. F the Cardinals. They are the enemy. No quarter should be given. None. If they went 1-161 I wouldn’t be happy enough.
And BTW, none of you better be reading this with a Bud in your hand or you’ll answer to me. Or a Coors, or a Miller. That’s literally aiding and abetting the enemy — in other words, treason. I can’t believe they sell beer at PNC that directly benefits enemy teams. You should look at it like this: Every Bud I drink pays 10 cents toward Pujols’ salary so he can kick our ass. Every Miller you drink pays 10 cents toward Ryan Braun’s salary. Every Coors you drink is 10 cents toward so help me God Jim Tracy’s salary.
You want that on your conscience?

Um...yeah.
You forgot about Land Shark Lager, we can’t be giving money to the Marlins now. Also, no more Minute Maid juice or Wrigley gum for your kids. No more banking at Chase, Citizens Bank or Citi. Go to Petsmart instead of Petco and you better not have an iPhone because that helps AT&T. No watching TBS or TNT, they’re owned by Turner. And no more insurance from Great American Insurance Group. The two teams I’m most suspicious of are the Nationals and Dodgers. They have some gall naming the stadiums after themselves. Why can’t they be named after large corporations we can stop buying stuff from? How dare they! And finally, no more voting for Hubert H. Humphrey!
So the next part of the plan is for everyone here to get a checking account at PNC Bank and run up huge fines on it. Forget to deposit money to cover everything you’re buying and all that. Maybe get a PNC Bank credit card with an APR of 29.99% so that it’ll help out the Pirates. Oh, if only I lived in a city with a PNC Bank branch….

PNC
recently bought National City Bank.
Got any of those?
Free your ass and your mind will follow.

Nope.
The only thing in my neighborhood and about 75 mile surrounded it are US Banks, Bank of the West, Wells Fargo and a bunch of little regional banks and community credit unions.

No problem. I actually don’t do any of those things.

Me too...
Especially the “voting for Hubert H. Humphrey” part.

That never stopped anyone
from voting for Daley in Chicago.

It's a reference to the Twins.
Their stadium’s full name is the “Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome”.
Never been a fan of Hube, myself. I always liked Hunter Thompson’s line about him from “Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail”: "Any political party that can’t cough up anything better than a treacherous brain-damaged old vulture like Hubert Humphrey deserves every beating it gets. They don’t hardly make ‘em like Hubert any more—but just to be on the safe side, he should be castrated anyway."

Hunter Thompson
Now there’s a guy that everyone should be admiring and quoting…

I hope that
statement wasn’t laced with sarcasm. One of the most brilliant artists and journalists of the 20th centuries, and I also quote him often and admire him always.

It Was
Laced with sarcasm.
I know that this isn’t the forum for this kind of debate, and I will not continue after this comment, but HST was not one I would consider worthy of admiration under any circumstance.
by God Loves on Oct 12, 2009 12:18 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well, to each his own.
But in my book, HST was a hell of a writer, and an interesting guy to boot.

Plenty of things
I could say to rebut, some of them a tad inappropriate and controversial, but you’re right about one thing, this is not the place for it. Funny how the topic arose from discussing a stadium named after a politician, though.

What balls it would show
if Colorado named their field after HST. HA!

Author’s note: Not trying to add fuel to the fire here, and I realize there are those who will disagree with this.
The end.

Nothing made me happier...
than seeing St. Louis getting swept in the playoffs. I’m tired of hearing about how great their franchise is and how wonderful and knowledgable their fans are. Blah blah blah… I agree with Bucdaddy, I’d like to see how wonderful they’d treat their team if they lost in 17 straight seasons.

One Cardinals fan said:
The Pirates were a 90 win team until they were destroyed by their idiot General Manager last year.
Unfortunately, there’s a good chance he’s going to end up being my brother in-law.
by IAPiratesFan on Oct 11, 2009 8:41 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
LOL. How ironic...
that he sounds like all of the idiot Pirates “fans” where I work.

Yeah, I can’t stand LaRussa. Not only is he really whiny and ultra-paranoid, I think he’s one of the most responsible for the absurdity of the bullpen use (or overuse) today. To me, it always looks like he makes bullpen moves just to make moves…as in, there’s no rhyme or reason to what he does.

He must be single-handedly responsible
for the lengthening the average time of MLB games by :08.32.
by bucdaddy on Oct 13, 2009 9:34 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I would take him for our manager in a heartbeat.
by grapes on Oct 12, 2009 9:57 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I don’t know. He’s almost always had a lot of talent to work with. One guy who has a bad rap, I think, and is quite good with young players is Buck Showalter. All things considered though, JR seems to have done a decent job.
