Cardinals exercised 1B Albert Pujols' $16 million option for 2011.
A no-brainer move on the part of the Cardinals. Pujols, 30, turned in yet another fantastic season in 2010, batting .312/.414/.596 with a National League-leading 42 home runs and 118 RBI. The Redbirds will have him at a bargain rate for 2011 but must begin thinking about a massive -- and possibly record-breaking -- contract extension as soon as this winter. As of this moment, no significant negotiations have taken place. Oct. 6 - 5:08 pm et

Lance Berkman will be the designated hitter for Game 2 of the ALDS against the Twins on Thursday.
Not a big surprise with the right-handed Carl Pavano starting. Marcus Thames was the designated hitter in Game 1 Wednesday against Francisco Liriano and finished 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout. Oct. 7 - 3:01 pm et

Why to go James! I hate when pitchers worry to much about the guy on first! I understand you don't want him to steal, so why not just step off! Worry about trying to get the batter to hit a grounder for a DP! That's how Greg Maddux did it!

If Girardi leaves, I wouldn't cry about Gardenhire being the new manager. He's one of the best in baseball, so I doubt the Twins would fire him if they lose to the Yankees.

I dunno, I just don't see it, the guy gets it done in the regular season but his teams always crumble in the post-season. It's time for a change in Minnesota, we'll see if my family agrees when I visit them next month.

BJ Upton ****ing sucks! It's so sad because he was one of the best CF'ers in the game after the 08 season!

Rays just got hosed big time... Should have been a strikeout on Young but ended up being a 3 run HR... I don't see this series ending well for the Rays now...

It's too bad because we have the Rangers' number this year but we won't get past the Yankees so it doesn't matter.

Yea, it's ****ing bullshit! Very bad umpiring by these umps in the first 2 games of this series! First, with the Pena "foul tip" and now with the check swing!

sfmarine · 10-07-2010, 08:13 PM

Well..it's been a while since I've posted in here. I was very impressed with the Roy Halladay's performance. You don't see that everyday especially in the post season. Last time was Don Larson's perfect game in '56 against the Brooklyn Dodgers. My father was @ that game and I still have the ticket stub.

Yankees managed to come back last night. I didn't finish the game since I had to get up @ 5 for class. Pettitte needs to get a win tonight. 2 more hours until beisbol!

Don't want to get screwed on the check swing rule? Don't swing your bat. Yes I know, easier said than done.

Isn't Lincecum like the worst pitcher in your rotation, though?

I'm not going to lie, I was very concerned last night when the Twins took the early lead since my Yanks looked very sluggish out the gate. Thankfully, they found and turned on the playoff switch.

Dexter Morgan · 10-07-2010, 08:21 PM

You'd think the Rays would want to take advantage of these opportunities before they return to the AL East basement.

They're a lot younger than the Yankees who will be rebuilding before long but yeah not sure why they're playing like their city is "Minneapolis".

I totally agree...I'm glad they turned it around though.
