SOUTH GRAND — It was way late at night or way too early in the morning — depending on your disposition — and this was supposed to be a mixer, a posh see-me-see-you party in Miami. But that didn’t stop Rick Ankiel from talking baseball. Specifically, the fine art of holding a runner on base. The young, teen-idol-faced Ankiel was describing how he prefers to do it. ... [link]

... Derrick Goold has a nice article about Rick Ankiel and Pat Jordan's writing about him.  When we played the Cards recently, I was thinking about the stories in baseball today that we'd still be talking about 40 or 50 years from now, and Ankiel is definitely one of them. ...

Rick Ankiel Can Hit the Broad Side of a Barn if it’s 300 Feet Away

Diamond Hoggers found this 5/8/2008 on thebiglead.com

From last night’s Cards/Rockies game: Rick Ankiel launches two of the best throws you’ve seen all year. The second one is pretty ridiculous. Also, I’d like to point out that if Derek Jeter or David Wright sprinted from 2nd to home ...

Gavin Floyd came oh so close again. For the 2nd time this season Floyd flirted with a no-hitter. Before Edgar Renteria singled, Floyd had no-hit the Tigers through 7.1 innings on April 12. Last night Floyd gave the U.S. Cellular crowd another thrill as he entered the 9th inning without allowing a hit. After striking out Brendan Harris for the first out (which meant we had to hear Hawk ...

When I started naming a Hero every game, I never thought one of them could be a superhero.  But that's what Rick Ankiel looked like last night. The home run was nice.  Even more so when Goat Ryan Franklin coughed up three runs (two charged to Looper) in the ninth, making the homer the winning margin.  But by itself, that wouldn't be enough.  Ryan Ludwick's 4-4 game or ...
The Great One

Posted 5/6/2008 on C70 At The Bat

With the great ones, you just know.  You just know when they are going to do something to win the game. Albert Pujols , in case anyone reading was wondering, counts as one of the great ones. I've noted before when it was just obvious he was going to hit a home run .  Last night was another one of those situations.  Seeing the lead that Pujols was getting off second and how long ...
