Heady play by Wong and it looks like Carpenter is down on the field. Onto the top of the 6th, Cardinals trail 7-2, and it's !@#$ing absurd that Bill Mazeroski is in the Hall of Fame and Jim Edmonds couldn't even get 2 years on the ballot...."

I suppose that's even more pronounced for Al since he and Simba played together. I have to say I enjoyed listening to Ankiel call a couple of spring games. He told a story about how when he had Mac and Rolen on the corners and Matheny behind the dish he didn't worry about hitting people because he knew he could dance around long enough for help to arrive.
