rams80 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Go home folks...nothing more to see.The effort to bring in "new" blood for the hitters was admirable, though.Well you were spot on with that statement.............................I'll man up and say that I was mistaken on that front. (And I'm glad I'm wrong. Good for you Rick. Now, keep it up.)I will say that, ironically, the Cardinals would probably be better off with him pitching than being an outfielder, now, though.

GMac Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Finally a feel good story this summer.. im so sick of steroids, dog fighting, game fixing, etc etc etc... if this doesnt get made into a disney movie nothing will...an up and coming pitcher cant even find teh plate let alone the strike zone instead of feeling sorry for himself he decides to become a position player and work himself up back to the bigs... hell im shila labeouf and buying a ticket right now... who knows he keep this up he could be the second man to go from pitching to slugging outfielder... the other of course was george herman ruth aka Babe... im not saying hes the bambino... but its pretty cool GDB...

FiddySicks Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Great for Ankiel, but what a devastating way for Spezio to end his season and possibly career.

STL FANATIC Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Great for Ankiel, but what a devastating way for Spezio to end his season and possibly career.Well, Speezer sought out help (I'm sure it wasn't without pressure, but he accepted the pressure to do it), and Tony La Russa says he expects him back by the end of the year.Now, we know these types of things can recurr even after rehab, and if that's the case, it could derail Scott's career. But if he can successfully rehab and avoid a relapse, I think he'll have another chance. He's got a contract and a supportive group behind him.And since I'm posting, Ankiel's 1-3 today with double and a run.

pcgd Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 I was at the game on saturday, it was just awesome to see how much the crowd has embraced him. He's gotten curtain calls on all his home runs. I don't think the first one on Saturday was needed, but usually in St. Louis once the crowd does one curtain call, they just can't stop and start giving them out to whomever they can.He also made 2 great plays in the field late in the game.

otherwilds Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 "Look out along the 3rd base line...."Fans along the first dase dugout be wary when he's at bat. Two noghts in a row in Nashville I saw him foul off rocket shots that beaned fans badly. Both had be helped out for medical attention one via a stretcher.I am enjoying see a kid who washed out but overcame it and has made it back to the bigs. Both he and the Hamilton kid in Cinci deserve a lot a credit for all their hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Time for an update to this great story.Ankiel is 3-4 today with 2 HRs, a 2B, a BB, 7 RBI, and 4 runs scored.That brings his season totals to .358, 9 HR, 29 RBI. That's in 23 games and 81 ABs.It's truly unbelievable what he has done and is still doing. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
