It's a part of them rehabbing their image. One of them got taken to the cleaners in a divorce with a gal from another mortgage company, which they jointly owned. I've heard he acted like quite the asshole after the divorce, so they did these commercials with La Russa and also produced and aired a fluff piece called "The Great American Entrepreneur" on KSDK.

Their image was worse than a geek in a suit wearing a catcher's mask?

That's correct.

Ouch. Divorce must have been messy. McCourt messy.

Why do fans boo when the visiting team's pitcher makes a pickoff move to first?

Didn't know about any of the divorce stuff, but they're refinancing my house and knocking a percent and a half off my interest rate.

That's something my mother-in-law would say. "Of course I invest in Phillip Morris. Why not? I quit smoking 30 years ago."

Nice game, Trever.

You beat me to it.

Based on Yahoo's stats, opponents now are hitting .306 against him this season, to go with that 1.85 WHIP.

Anyone else besides me worried that Schu is suddenly playing himself back into 2012 roster consideration?

Larussa was practically ready to rub one out when someone in the post game presser mentioned that Schu is hitting .350 sine June 4.

It's a damn shame I don't get Tony TV. Just for the shower scenes.

Whoa-oh-oh-oh ...oh-oh-oh ... oh-oh-oh-yo ...

First and second, nobody out, bottom of the 12th.

Bases loaded, two outs. Lugo up ...

If Berkman and potentially Holliday are unavailable, don't they have to send out a pitcher for a position player?  It would be unconscionable to play tomorrow with only 10 position players.

I kind of got the impression from listening to The Cat that Holliday has some kind of digestive problem that won't linger.

Great. We're relying on a guy who has a TV spot called "the Cat Fight" for breaking news.

I actually like him alot.  He is funny and doesnt take the broadcast gig to seriously.  Most the time the stuff he says is pretty good.  You could tell me better then I could tell you but it seems like the players like him. 

Also I think Craig should be about ready.

Tone made some comments to KSDK earlier where he talked about how awesome Rasmus is, but he goes outside the organization for help and gets into funks. Now Strauss is saying that a Rasmus trade has gone from being an option to being an inevitability.

Tone talking up Rasmus should signal that loud and clear.

But actually, it's too bad if that's the case, because it means they will have to take whatever they can get for him.  Better to maintain the brave face that he will only be traded for top talent.

I don't know if you heard the nightly third inning Cat Call, but the impression I got was he walked into Tone's office, asked what was wrong with Holliday, and the reply was probably something like "He's on the crapper, shitting his brains out. Why don't you go join him?"

I did hear that, and that was exactly the same impression I had.
