shoelessjoelives Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Especially when everyone that saw the tape could plainly see that it was not just dirt. And watching Rogers go to his cap/head and then to his glove before he threw a pitch......The Gambler ain't broke even on this deal yet !!:thumbdown: !!

Immortal13 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Talk about blowing something out of proportion. All of you baseball purists should know by now that this kind of thing is common practice. Pitchers have been doctoring the ball for decades, and still do. I don't want to overgeneralize and say they all do it, but it is a well known fact that most of them do. Nolan Ryan has been caught doing it, and so has Roger Clemens. That is why LaRussa did not make a big deal about it at the time. Because he knows his pitchers do it too. And let's not even get started about position players......they are either corking bats or injecting themselves with something. If I was a pitcher, I would probably be doing something to even the odds a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immortal13 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Nolan was caught with sandpaper, as has Clemens. Sorry I don't have the date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJLPOP10 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I look at this as just something else to tarnish Roger's career. The attack on the camera man, now this.... He might be a good pitcher, but he will probably be longer remembered for these two incidents. I hate it for him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJC_fan Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Carpenter is doing a good job tonight with his "glob of dirt". He's pitching a shutout tonight through 8 innings against the Tigers. Â The Cardinals are up 4-0 .... with Albert Puhols coming up with the bases loaded!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJLPOP10 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 The chances of Detroit coming back in this game aren't very good so it really doesn't matter, but I would be tempted to walk Pujols, WITH THEM LOADED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoelessjoelives Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 And of course, the last time a team won the last three games in the World Series to win the Series 4 games to 1 was.............the 1984 Detroit Tigers over the San Diego Padres. Â And did you know that six teams have trailed 3 games to 1 and come back to win the Series. Â Among them are the '68 Tigers and the '85 Royals........and yes the team that these two came back to beat was the St. Louis Cardinals. I guess it is fitting that the Cards have a chance to exact some revenge on that trend tonight !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 This series is far from over....The pitching matchup looks great tonight for Detroit. Tomorrow you have Kenny "pine tar" Rogers going at home and then on to Game 7 when anything can happen. I say if the Cards don't wrap it up tonight, the Tigers are going to win this series. Â On the other hand.... Â It's funny how things have a way of evening out in the end. Rogers apparently cheated and the Tigers received no punishment. Or did they? FOUR pitchers' errors have dramatically changed three different games in favor of St. Louis, Monroe gets a bad read on a ball that glances off his glove for the game-winning hit, and Granderson falls down on an easy fly ball when the Cards rallied last night. It kinda looks like it's the Cards' year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
