Notes From The 5th Inning

Three things happening here that make me want to talk baseball:

1. Preston Wilson’s baseball career is absolutely over. His bat speed is so non-existent it’s become a joke at this point. I’m not sure I understand why Wilson is hitting second anyway. And, jeez, Preston, you’ve only got an eight-time Gold Glove winner playing centerfield. How about you let him make the catches when he calls for them? Dumbass.

2. What a catch by Endy Chavez. That was just a tremendous play right there. What more can be said? The Cards don’t seem to be getting the one or two lucky breaks a team needs to make it past a depleted yet feisty Mets team.

3. Albert Pujols is just not impressing me at all. And you know what? It gives me comfort knowing that Pujols, the best hitter in baseball, has looked ARod-esque this week. It means that ARod is not alone in his failures and if he’s watching (or reading this), he should feel better. Look past the .350 average or the great OPS, Pujols has one stinking RBI. Toss in the silly remarks he made about Tom Glavine after Game 1 and one could say that this has not been the best week of this guy’s career.
