So I’ll admit I don’t know all of the unwritten rules of baseball, but I never see pitchers apologize or check on a guy when a pitch gets away and they hit a batter unintentionally. I’m sure the hit batter probably doesn’t want to hear it but I feel like if it were me and it was really an accident, I’d run up and…

Know what’s better than four wins in a row?

No, bubba. The 50-plus wins do.

‘“Look at him bleeding our colors. Such a true Cardinal.” - Cardinals fans, probably’ - Straw Man.

Matheny knows a thing or two about getting hit in the face

Looking forward to the nightly Cardinals loss post....oh wait they’ve won four in a row?

I would love to see more diversity in STEM careers. But attempting to malign the people who are already in those fields is the wrong way around. The goal should not be “fewer white male scientists”; rather, the goal should be “more scientists from everywhere, regardless of their gender or continent of origin”.

I did read what you wrote and that’s the tone I got from it. You want to put in diversity because of some vague notion of people from other places think differently. To me, that’s diversity for diversity’s sake. I want the most qualified applicant and I don’t care where they’re from or what their ethnicity/gender is.

In the US most higher level STEM degrees are earned by white and Asian men (by a significant margin).

You ask “Isn’t it possible...” then conclude “It shows...” That’s not how logic works.

i actually stopped reading after that.

Bullshit. He didn’t motion that it was a ground rule double, when you want to do that, you raise both hands over your head. He is an idiot for not throwing the ball back in, but the runners and third base coach were idiots for not advancing farther on the play.

I believe Bourjos was just inserted to center and Piscotty shifted to left. So the guy who leveled him did it on his first play after entering. Have to feel awful for him, too. You could see how shaken up he was.

This is not the time for Cardinal Way jokes.

It was shocking to see live. I’m a lifelong baseball/Cardinals fan and have never seen anything like it between two OF diving at the track. Both are outstanding OF and it’s a ball most don’t get to.

Of course you want them arrested. Then, when one of the Gawker sites does a sad article about our mass incarceration problem, you’ll be right there with everybody else bitching about it, without a shred of irony.

no one in STL actually talks about that, it’s just ESPN and Fox needing something to talk about.

Honestly, I enjoy the hell out of it. Better reviled winners than lovable losers.

Many of us have embraced it.
