Cuck, Fardinals
I am fine with them sweeping us, just as long no one goes on the DL for the rest of the season
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
CY is already on the DL
and we don’t have Michael Barret anymore, so I don’t think there’s any reason to think the Cardinals will land us on the DL.

Pujols nailed Bard, not Barret.

It was said at the time
For that to happen, it has to be a bad pitch, and an even worse swing.

Or just swing at pitches that hit him?

Like Barrett did.

"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Seems fair.
LA and us are a game apart and they’re streaking without a few of their best players. They’re also 4-1 against us.
I didn’t understand the one a few days ago that had the Giants above us…I think it was an SBNation one.

Would be like an offensive beast on this team… and is about where Chase Headly is projecting to be at this rate? lol… Chase needs to flash some power ASAP.

Went on Sat and Sun. 2-0 on the season
and despite having almost passed out or vomited several times, due to the fact that everybody at Safeco feels the need to order the garlic fries, I enjoyed the experience.
You got a problem with garlic?

Agreed.
Though this is just a smoke-screen to distract us from the fact that the zombie apocalypse is approaching.

I doubt strongly that you're ready for the zombie war.
Do you have food and water stores for several years? A healthy supply of firearms and ammunition? Machetes for each member of your family? An easily defensible hideout? A way to travel if all the gas stations run dry?

Wait
I have to chop up each member of my family with different machetes? How does that makes sense?
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
No, no.
The machetes are for them to chop up zombies, not the other way around.

You can chop them up

I thought firearms and tactical nuclear strikes
were always the best way to deal with zombies… or at least the modern zombie as seen in such recent remakes as “dawn of the dead”.
Firearms are all well and good
so long as you use headshots and have enough ammo. You can never have enough ammo.
I suppose a nuke would work, because it would destroy the heads, but it seems excessive and would destroy the land as well as the zombies.

this conversation just made me come up with a great movie premise
Zombie War happens and the local authorities and military are busy protecting major metropolitan areas. Who’s left to protect small town America? Well, in one town, that task falls to the local minor league baseball team and area little leaguers after they discover that zombies are especially vulnerable to having their heads knocked off with baseball bats.
Call it Day Game of the Living Dead.

Already read it,
and took copious notes.
Unfortunately, at present I don’t have the funds necessary to make a first rate survival stash/plan.
I’ll have to get by on my wits alone for at least a while.
Like Dungeons and Dragons
meets the Majors and some of the zombies are actually old baseball players like Jack Clark, who get their heads batted off, for actin’ the fool.
This may be a great video game too, Dex. Don’t sell off the rights to this w/o exploring all the angles.
Well, the major metropolitan areas are screwed.
As are most of the authorities, who are woefully unprepared. It’s definitely going to come down to the local baseball teams to protect their towns.

Just be careful you don't let the little leaguers become zombies.
Little zombies are a bitch to get rid of.

I feel the need to point you in the direction of WWZ
world war Z
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_war_z
It’s related to Mad Villain’s post.
I think they are trying to make a movie… however, I think it needs to be taken with some rather large grains of salt. Hand to hand combat with Zombies is ALWAYS foolish.
Reason: You get tired. The zombies don’t. If you’ve ever tried swinging a sword or a baseball bat, you can only do so for so long before your arms are sore as hell.
Too true, Zen.
Dex might be asking a lot of us to suspend disbelief in order to believe that one small group of survivors could fight off incalculable zombie hordes with brute force alone.
Though, this would be a movie so there could be a deus ex machina.
Dex, I suggest something along the lines of the team/little leaguers finding an abandoned warehouse full of HGH and other PEDs.

And very true. It’s always preferable to fight at a distance to reduce the risk of infection, but unfortunately it’s often unavoidable.
