ziggy; Jacoby Ellsbury

[Reality]

zig i do not know if you still use the email posted on this site.
I do not use mine, i shut it down.

At any rate, here's hoping Ellsburys foot heals in time for the playoffs.
Great year he and the Sox were and are having.  52-4 on stolen bases.

zig i hope you are celebrating somewhere.
Sox in series and Ellsbury has had a tremendous playoff comeback from foot injury.

Well it was truly bitter and sweet!  I have been Tiger fan for 45 years.  I sucked it up when they lost 119, and we 22 years between World Series appearances.  I was rooting for the Tigers to win and for Jacoby to win the Series MVP.
As far as WS I have always been a fan of the Cards, they are such a good organization.  I do not care for a number of the Red Sox players (Gomes, Victorino, Lackey, Bucholtz, Salty).  At the same time the Sox do have some players who I respect.  My nephew and brother went to Jacoby's wedding reception, and they both agreed Pedroia, Lester, and couple of others were engaging, and respectful people.  Some though were not.
In the end though I will root for Jacoby to get another ring.  So Red Sox all the way!!

Who were the dicks, Zig??? 

One is no longer a Red Sox, involved in a big trade, who was a big fried chicken fan, with the initials of JB.  Another is a member of the rotation with the initials CB.  Those were the 2 worst, and there were several other who you weren't dicks per se, but they viewed everybody at the reception as clearly beneath them.  Pedroia on the other hand was very engaging, came right up to my nephew and chatted with him for 10-15 minutes, very unpretentious.  Lester was less forward, but very respectful.

I've heard that about JB.

Wolverine,
St Louis still one of if not the top organization in MLB when considering $$$ and market size.  What do they put in the water out there?
That having been said, what is the thinking of Redbird Nation coffee shop drinker re Wainrights 6th inning after retiring Nava to open?
This game had 2-1 one way or the other written all over it.  St Loius should have been treating it as their Game 7 (not that they weren't but...)
The Drew walk blew me away. 
That St Louis manager then stuck with him for Ross and Ellsbury i do not get at all.

Do you still have your sports anchor gig?  Still in MN?
Groupies?
