foulpoleuptheass to congratulate us on the Astro win. Has he been ejected a la russa or is he still dropping f-bombs to umpires like the classy organization he so admires?

Don't invite the devil into our house.

Who CARES? I don't understand the fascination with the opposing team's fans.

NeilT · « **Reply #3 on:** October 16, 2005, 10:34:05 pm »

Yeah. Why would another team's fan ever go onto the site of an opposing team and post a bunch of friendly e-mails? Makes no sense to me.

I don't feel the least bit bad about it. The umpiring was a fucking joke.

I'm glad we won, I don't have to be excited about the umpiring.

Appreciate you keeping a close eye on me.

I've been reading them for days, all of 'em, and from time to time have thought about posting. My point was we probably shouldn't be surprised when Cardinals fans show up here trying to be decent (or not), not that there's anything odd about fans wanting to post elsewhere.

Just think, Alkie, I just said there was nothing odd about your behavior.

Alkie · « **Reply #7 on:** October 16, 2005, 10:43:29 pm »

Look, I have ZERO problem with opposing fans in here (like Morpheus). People who aren't just here to troll and be dicks, I usually find entertaining. Might learn something.

I just felt like if *I* were on the other side of Cuzzi's Spotlight Game tonight, I'd have been NUCLEAR. I don't think he cost the Cards the game, far from it. I think he lowered the integrity of this particular game. Will I take the win? Fuck yeah.

But I don't have to look back and say blindly (because we won) everything was fine.

It wasn't. I've always hated Cuzzi.

Alkie · « **Reply #9 on:** October 16, 2005, 10:46:48 pm »

See, that's the thing. You'll notice a totally different Alkie over there than over here.

Somehow, I don't see my "NORMAL" personality going over too well.

NeilT · « **Reply #12 on:** October 16, 2005, 10:50:04 pm »

I've found Birds on the Bat almost unreadable, mostly because of AstrosBuddy. Why they put up with that guy I can't imagine. Didn't there use to be an AB here? A minor major annoyance?

I haven't minded the Post Dispatch site. There are some stupid posters, but also some good posters, and there's a ton of traffic. Sooner or later every notion floats through. Plus some of them wail more than at the AB site. Slightly.

Alkie · « **Reply #13 on:** October 16, 2005, 10:52:37 pm »

Hadn't seen AB yet. Who is he? Total ass?

i. for one, do not think the umpiring was a joke or that it lowered the integrity of anything.

NeilT · « **Reply #19 on:** October 16, 2005, 11:09:28 pm »

Me, or Alkie? I sent you one earlier . . . Don't have anything from you.

bubba · « **Reply #20 on:** October 16, 2005, 11:13:03 pm »

I agree. The strike zone varies from game to game, umpire to umpire and always has. As an MLB player you have to adapt to it. The strike zone was high and wide all day for both sides. What you saw was LaRussa's frustration with the lack of offense by the best offense in the majors and Edmonds frustration at his rapidly rising scapegoat status for the fortunes of said offense.

JimR · « **Reply #21 on:** October 17, 2005, 01:21:00 am »

the umpire gave LaGenius at least 3 chances to keep his seat. first, he made a zipping motion on his lips. then, he twice said "you're going to go." when he did not shut up, he went. i think he had it planned...the Tank Commander falls in battle to rally his troops.

I'm still here...doing what I came here to do. Which is see what the Astros fans have to say about the games.

The Astros played another great game and the Birds played another less than great game. The home plate ump sucked the entire game for both sides and decided that simply being a bad ump wasn't getting him enough Tv time. (I say that only half joking)

Backe pitched a great game and was able to take advantage of the idiot behind the plate, as did Soup. MMP's diminsions gave the Astros a home run and took one away from the Cards. Marquis probable signed his ticket out of STL by running his mouth earlier this week and then when he gets into the game he fails to make two basic plays, fielding a bunt and laying down a bunt. Pujols is the only guy in the Cards lineup thats showed up the last 3 games and even thought the play turned out bad, I like the agressiveness of him going on the play in the 9th.

JimR · « **Reply #24 on:** October 17, 2005, 01:51:45 am »

do you whine about every park your heroes play in, troll? was LaGenius pissed when his pitchers benefitted from the wide strike zone? does your team ever just plain get beat? you had runners at first and third with NO outs, and you did not score. take your whiny ass excuses and fuck off. go lick your wounds somewhere else.

Alkie · « **Reply #25 on:** October 17, 2005, 01:54:21 am »

Let me ask you something. I mean this quite seriously.

Do you guys do this in every park, or just ours? After every road series, do you measure the difference between Busch and the road stadium and say things like "well, if we had just been playing at home, that would have been" or "that wouldn't have been"?

Do you think the Cardinals were not aware of the dimensions in MMP and this is why they failed, again, to "take advantage of them"?

Perhaps you could call them and warn them. I'd hate for this to continue going unnoticed until after the games in which the Astros hit a jobby into the Crawfords and the Cards don't.

More to the point, he is here to tell us that our home ballpark does not conform to the 325/375/400/375/325 markings of, say a 1960s Concrete Cookie park, say in St Louis.

If he hadn't, Harold knows what us moron Astro fans would think. We might get the impression EVERY team has a section of seats and a foul pole in fair play. We might never know that 315 down the line is not USUALLY a homerun in other ballparks. Good lord, we may think a fly out to dead center might be outs in other cities as well. Imagine the horror.

Do it. Imagine.

No, no, I finally get it.

You are here to educate; to teach.

Also, to pat us on the head when we are good.

We have a name for people like you.

GENTLEMEN. I propose a new title for Sr. Foulpole. Henceforce, instead of Disappointing Rookie, I suggest "Barzilla".

Alkie · « **Reply #45 on:** October 17, 2005, 02:29:57 am »

Actually, what you SAID was...we better come to play this weekend because the breaks won't keep going our way.

Wrong again.

Alkie · « **Reply #47 on:** October 17, 2005, 02:34:51 am »

As you can see, you're VERY good at this.

(The razzing I mean.)

Are you calling me fat?

matadorph · « **Reply #60 on:** October 17, 2005, 04:15:41 am »

man, the Astros are 3-for-21 with RISP....and the Birds still can't catch a break!

bubba · « **Reply #61 on:** October 17, 2005, 08:31:20 am »

Wait! You mean 325 to left in Bush Stadium? Does that mean that a 341 tape measure home run to left would have been out there, too? How is that taking advantage of the parks dimension. How about, the Astros scored two runs and the Cards scored one in the first nine innings of this game. No breaks just baseball, dumbass.

JimR · « **Reply #63 on:** October 17, 2005, 09:34:14 am »

my favorite part of all of this whining is that the BFiB think their team does not have to actually play in the park they are in. they sit there smugly, think "that one was out in Busch," count the run and bitch about "the dimensions" of the park where the game is being played. what a great system to avoid accepting losses.
