Moving Weekend


Well, it appears this weekend may be moving weekend, and in more ways than one. The Penny family is finally uprooting in favor of its more permanent domicile, complete with all the joys of home ownership. And it appears another Matt (though one that is decidely more wealthy) will also be relocating.


I know 100% of our readers will be thrilled with the move (though losing Brett Wallace has got to hurt), but I'm here to throw a little water on the fire. First, let's see how Holliday does when he doesn't get to play half his games at Mile High Coors Field. Oh, wait a minute, we have seen what he does. He is slugging .454, nearly 90 points off his career of .541. He has a grand total of 11 home runs. And how is he going to like playing in LaRussa's constant tinkered-with lineup?


Oh who am I kidding!?! The prospect of a Pujols-Holliday lineup scares the bejeezus out of me, since it looks like the Dodgers' road to the World Series is going to have to pass through St. Louis. Damn it! Now the Boys in Blue had better get Doc, if only so we can screw the announcers and have a Halladay v. Holliday matchup.
