When I think of Cuba, I think of Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and Jackie Robinson.

Re: 4/15 Gamecrap
According to Gary Bennett, James McDonald got in trouble by throwing too many pitches down the middle of the plate because it's a bad idea for pitchers to throw pitches down the middle of the plate. This is riveting analysis.

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Vin Scully just dropped a Sword of Damocles reference on the audience. Kind of a different level of analysis.

... and the sword just dropped on Billingsley. Three-run homer by the opposing pitcher.

Re: 4/15 Gamecrap
According to Bennett, Jon Jay is a good defensive centerfielder because he was mentored by Edmonds which would be insightful if Jay had ever gone to spring training while Edmonds was still a Cardinal.

Re: 4/15 Gamecrap
Carl Crawford is wearing one white shoe, and one blue shoe tonight. Obviously in honor of Jackie Robinson, who wore neither two blue shoes nor two white shoes.

Re: 4/15 Gamecrap
Scully is talking now about the first time Robinson received death threats during his major league career. Guess which city he was in?
I'll give you a hint. The correct answer rhymes with "Tincinnati."

No surprise there.
What is it about Lynn that turns the lineup into the Big Red Machine?

Cardinals now 29th in the league in walks. If they hit .400 with RISP all season I think this could be a really special offense.
