Here's an interesting piece Zach Levine wrote last season about walking Pujols: http://blogs.chron.com/unofficialscorer/2008/04/should_you_walk_albert_pujols.html
Quick mini-poll: The Cardinal mustache thing... A. is completely lame. B. is totally awesome. C. Who cares?
Its random... but would be a lot more annoying on a team that I absolutely loathe. Like the Cubs and roid-rage Zambrano. I remember Ausmus, Bagwell, Burke, Everett, Lane, Ensberg, and Lance did the playoff beard thing back in 2004-05... while Biggio just calmly laughed at them, and went on with his clean-shaved self. I guess you can't argue with the HOFer.
Brooks, did Zachery leave the Chron? I just read his last article and it had a semi farewell speech at the end.
No, a few people interpreted it that way for some reason. He was just looking back on 2 years with the Chron.
Ugh... Lance knows MMP so well... and unfortunately, it has robbed him of a lot of those hits to deep LCF. He knew off the bat that was gonna be caught.... whereas most other parks, it would have XBH all over it.
I remeber Orlando Palmerio had just a patch underneath his chin because he had all his hair removed via laser lol...he looked funny and idotic but hey 05 was a blast so he gets a free pass!
Ankiel barely held onto that. Maybe if he had a p*rn stache like his brothers, there would have been just enough drag for him to come up short.
Philly whooped the Cubs and the Brewers are down 6-1 early. This would be a nice win but a 1-run lead with Pujols still due up at least 1 more time is not very comforting.
Does he have one, too? I actually didn't notice it. I saw Lohse's and Derosa's. Oh well, there goes my ridiculous theory...
