Carlota Gonzalez

He got in Trouts way, and the CF has the say. He was calljng Cowgill off, but Cowgill didn't back off. Cowgills error.

What? That was Trouts ball and Cosgill got in the way. That's a Cowgill error all the way.

That's the funniest one liner I've seen in a minute.

Looks like Albert will be AL player of the week ;-) Comeback Play of the year is seemingly coming together nicely. Now, if he can just be a MVP in the playoffs ;-)

So if you try and paint the corners, and the ump doesn't give them to you, what should you do? Throw meatballs? It's a tad tough to throw strikes when they aren't available to you, or your strikes are smashed by the hitter.

This strike zone is smaller than a gnats ass

That was a strike!!! The strike zone sucks today!!

Wow, conger!

Well to be fair, he's thrown a couple of strikes..they've just been called Balls.

You can tell who read the article and so didn't by the responses. It's entertaining reading the responses from the people who didn't read the article....

Yep, and the no trade clause was part of that. He said it.

The fact that he made it a point to say that was an important thing to him in the contract negotiations

Well he didn't feel that way. He turned Miami down for a couple of reasons, and full no trade clause was one of them. So that clearly was important to him. Whether you agree or disagree with that doesn't matter.

Dude, obviously Albert didn't even want it to be a discussion.

It was talked about numerous times when we signed him. The full no trade clause was important to him. He even said it.

Problem with your statement is Albert wasn't going to be happy. He wanted a long term deal with a full no trade clause. What part of that don't you get?

And this as well.

That had no guarantees and was without a full no trade clause. And in the NL, he would of been a pinch hitter or traded to an AL team without his control by the 5th year of his contract

Funny how people just ignore those facts and pay attention to only the negative. Those 17HRs were on one- no legs too.

What's the score?

I have no faith in Salas...ugh...

The feeling of doom in my gut sickens me. I had hopes, high hopes and now they just look like the same ol team. Hopefully, unlike the last few years, "Its only 2 games"' mantra is true and this team starts winning! I will say however, I am soooooo sick of people slamming on Pujols for no reason. The dude was on track to hit 30 bombs and over 100 RBIs last year on one leg (or no legs really), and so far this year, he has 2 doubles, has scored a couple of runs and overall looks better. STOP IT WITH THE PUJOLS SUCKS CRAP. What sucks so far is the pitching, plain and simple. 18 runs in 2 games????? That is completely unacceptable.

Apparently we are already missing Baylor. No patience at plate from anyone

Long as in over by May.
