You've apparently never been to Suntrust Park, there's a brick wall where he was tackled into.

I was there about a week before opening day, but you can see the brick on TV.

The way he bounced back just looked like he didn't hit it. At first I thought he could've easily broken his neck on the brick.

If I'm a streaker I'm starting from the infield and going to the outfield. That guy went opposite and ran from outfield and into a wall and foul ball net trap

Notice how our game thread on Tuesday was full of meth head St. Louis fricktards. Last night, not so much. Interesting.

How Cardinals fans got a reputation as a classy knowledgeable fanbase is one of the great sports mysteries of our time.

Also don’t understand the hype of their new ballpark. It’s about as boring as any park I’ve ever been to. Didn’t like it at all.

Bonus point: Petco is the most underrated park I’ve been to.

I was legit unaware that Busch II had hype but I’m happy to hear it


And FWIW we aren’t all jackasses but some of us non jackasses just don’t have that much time to post


If you want some thoughts on our team I’ll hazard stating the obvious but we need some starting pitching help badly and Goldie/Carp need to get it going. Gold seems to have turned a bit of a corner lately but Carp continues to struggle, I was very weary of Carpenter after his slow start last year even after he came to life but of course I was nearly stoned to death any time I mentioned my concern

He’s weird, his peripherals during his slow start last year were unsustainably bad then when he woke up they were unsustainably good. Numbers be weird yo

I will say his defense at 3rd has been better than I expected

I expected to get swept. Last night was awesome. I’m glad to be wrong.

Don't think Petco is underrated at all. Most people love it. It is right up there with Coors as my favorite ballpark.
