Here's a random thought for a Sunday... ...MVPmods.com is still alive and kicking! I've gotten married, got a new job, got a new house, and had a kid - that is now 2 years old... ...all since the last time I logged in to this site. Hello everyone. It does my heart good to see this place still going. I was admin... oh, say, 5 or 8 years ago.

You can't fix stupid. Also - never forget the semi-computer-literate and those that create a new account if their activation email doesn't arrive within 30 seconds.

Glad to know I'm not the only one to yell at the TV. I really freaked out my dog yelling at the TV during that 20-inning hot-mess from yesterday.

You only watch the best? So what did you watch the decade prior to 2009? Just kiddin. I only know as many players as I do thanks to the amazing rosters from the likes of Totte and KG (and now Knight for MLB The Show)... that's why I knew Jimenez (other than the few times the Cards faced him). Hmm - he IS NL - so I guess the Yanks wouldn't have faced him, so that makes more sense.

You'd REALLY never heard of Ubaldo Jimenez? Do you watch baseball at all if it doesn't involve the Yankees?

At least one of them is from Fenton. Don't judge St. Louisans on people from one of our most White Trashy areas. It's so far down there it barely counts as a suburb of STL at all.

Yes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1SKf9YU4QQ

That kid is hysterical.

...come to the Dark Side!

Nah. They aren't located quite near enough a coast in order to be relevant to network programming execs. They're like 5 miles too far inland.

Look at the Cards roster. Even if I get the PS3, I don't expect to do well. Oh, how much is The Show likely to cost?

I nominate Trues, since he ran TheShowFiles until he decided to reorganize some things. Oh, side note: I am over 50% of the way to my PS3-Fund goal. I got $120 just out of rolling the quarters I had in a jar, lol. ...if anyone wants to contribute their OWN money to the RaptorQuiz PS3 Fund, feel free to PM me to donate. lol. Assuming I get one relatively soon - I call dibs on the Cards in our online league. :)

WHAT IN THE BLUE HELL WERE YOU DOING?!

I really want one. But I have yet to convince myself that I should be putting my tax return toward another toy (PS3) as opposed to knocking a chunk out of my car-payments. :)

You haven't been paying much attention, have you? Mark McGwire. Fernando Vina. Jason Christiansen. Juan Gonzalez. Juan Rincon. Gary Bennett. Cody McKay. Troy Glaus. Rick Ankiel. Larry Bigbie. Ron Villone. I'm sure there are many more. ...and Pujols was reported by local STL media as appearing on the Mitchell report. There was, of course, a frenzy, and Cubs fans were all over this board freaking out (with glee). Then it turned out the story was a fabrication, and Pujols was not implicated. Whoops. The retraction story didn't get as much play as the false original story - hence, I encounter people all the time that still think Pujols was on the Mitchell Report. Go figure. The steroid news has hit lots of other teams besides the vaunted Yankees, and the Cards have been particularly ripped apart because of the Front Office and Tony LaRussa's seeming indifference toward them. The Rick Ankiel bomb came at the height of his feel-good comeback, and was one of the primary contributing factors to the team dropping out of the playoff hunt that year (the entire team went flat). I still don't understand how you think people are giving YOU crap about A-Rod. Hello? One of the top-two players in all of baseball just got exposed as a juicer. The other one of the top-two probably isn't clean either. It was major, major news. And I don't know what you think is happening in the media - I'm sure it's all over the place in NY and on ESPN - but here in Missouri - it was a five second blurb on the news and it was done. As I've said before - nobody really cares outside of the coasts and the ESPN editing room.

OH. MY. GOD. Yes, that was hysterical. While watching it live, I turned to my friends and said "Wow. That camera man just got a black eye at the same time Bruce Springsteen ruptured a testicle. Explain that to the doctors."

I always kind of wished she's shut up... but I couldn't only be so mad, since I completely agreed. Marc Bulger is crap. King Kurt should've stayed the starter in STL. Clearly he still had the abilitiy in the tank - he just had to spend so much time looking over his shoulder for the useless Bulger that he never got back into his groove after the two finger injuries.

Brenda Warner got lots of air time in St. Louis just because her husband Kurt was hailed as the savior of St. Louis football after he came out of obscurity to lead the Rams from worst-to-first in the 1999 Super Bowl victory - then back to the Super Bowl in 2001 to lose to those piece of crap Patriots. Then Brenda got really loud and opinionated when Martz n' Co started pushing Marc Bulger over Kurt Warner. He was unceremoniously released in 2004. This created two factions in St. Louis. The "Bulgerites," who now see how useless Bulger is, and the "Warnerites," who would hate Rams football until the new owner/president took over. I do not recall Brenda Warner ever dealing with cancer. Both she and Kurt had some serious things to overcome, though. LINK: http://www.snopes.com/glurge/warner.asp

Amen. (Yes, there is irony there).
