WILMA !!! If the Mets do that every inning they may just win this game.
Someone burn Busch Stadium down so the Cards have to play on the road.
Holy shit at younger Gary Cohen! What!
9 straight wins! We may never lose again.
I'm already sick of this shi-
Mariner about to get humiliated on national TV....!!

Reverse jinx.
Big Blow right there. Yovanni needs to step it up in his absenceFuck, Tillman to DL.
They should shut him down for the rest of the season, unless they are planning to get however many innings out of him before that shoulder blows up.Fuck, Tillman to DL.
According to the Chronicle, Butler had interrupted Valencia's conversation with the equipment rep to say Valencia regularly uses spikes that are in breach of his contract, adding that the rep's company should terminate Valencia's endorsement deal.
"Don't you ever loud-talk me in front of a rep," Valencia said to Butler after the equipment representative had left, before walking swiftly toward him, according to the Chronicle report. "That was wrong."
"I can say whatever I want, and your bitch ass isn't going to do anything about it," Butler reportedly replied.
Valencia punched Butler in the head before the brief fight that followed was broken up, the Chronicle reported.
Butler and Valencia have been fined an undisclosed amount by the team, and Butler was placed on the seven-day concussion disabled list Monday. Butler missed Oakland's games Saturday and Sunday with what manager Bob Melvin said was nausea and vomiting.
Butler snitched on Valencia. Then said he was a bitch and was not going to do anything about it. Valencia punched him on the temple.

The A's have a shit payroll.
This is a team paying Coco Crisp $11m and Billy Butler $12m amd .639 OPS Jed Lowrie has $14m guaranteed through 2018.
The payroll management of the Athletics has to be the worst in baseball. So much of the payroll is going to absolute dead weight.
Valencia is going into his Arb 3 year, and will probably get $5m+ next season. But the A's can just cut him. Butler has another goddam $12m to go on his deal.
But the Athletics should just cut both of them, and then make sure Crisp's extension doesn't get triggered. The A's would only be out $12m, but small price to pay to get rid of all this nonsense on what should be a last place club (thanks Angels?).
And then ownership simply has to review the front office situation.
I still think the Donaldson trade could be somewhat salvaged by the end of the decade, but that primarily depends on Barreto. Still, no need for that trade. And then the signings over the winter, rebuilding a bullpen at a price premium that still isn't great, while some of the players in last year's bullpen have gone on to very solid seasons elsewhere.
Finally, I've lost faith in both Curt Young, and I never had faith in Darren Bush.
But the Athletics are nothing if not loyal. And they tend to turn things around quickly with young players and 2nd chances, but now other teams are doing that very same thing and Oakland's had no answers to the changing landscape in recent years.
I still love my Athletics, but...
You need a new stadium. Not a shit bowl.
