Missed another World Series by one game in his first year. In his 2nd year on 5/10 the sophomore manager's team has the best record in baseball.

My college roommate played HS baseball against him and he said it was generally known that he was at least 2-3 years older than his stated age.

Possibly, but when your lower body starts to go there isn't much you can do as a hitter. He's battling a surgically repaired knee and chronic plantar fasciitis. He went from the best defensive 1B in baseball to a guy that spends over half his time as a DH

According to the article he still makes his home in St. Louis, still is doing all the charity work in St. Louis. For crissakes, Jimmy played for the Brewers, Reds, Astros and San Diego after he left the Cardinals. Fans still cheer him.

Shelby throwing it well tonight.
Pretty hard pressed not to throw him at the top of the Rookie of the Year list so far this early year. |

2) Lebron had a legitimate reason to leave, as that team was an absolute abomination. He handled his departure poorly, but that doesn't make the choice poor, just it's execution. Pujols left a team coming off of a world title, and one of the five-eight best-run organizations in professional sports. Lebron left the Cavs. 3) He's not retiring a Cardinal. He went out of his way to extort a personal services contract to Hoover up even more of Artie Moreno's money. The next ten years of his life post baseball belong to the Angels. 4) They served Angel Food Cake at his restaurant when he signed.

Ninety-five on the ****ing black to end it. Don't know if I've ever seen a better start from a Cardinal pitcher in terms of raw dominance. That was far more impressive than a number of perfect games. I bet his game score is out of this world.

Miller just threw a complete game one hitter with no walks. Not bad.

Broken bat single to start then 27 in a row. That is dominant.

Miller's game score was 98. Better than Harvey's start earlier this week, and the best in baseball this year.

Shelby Miller, 22, on the season: 45.2 IP, 29 H, 11 BB, 51 K, 3 HR, 1.58 ERA. Matt Harvey, 24: 49.1 IP, 22 H, 12 BB, 58 K, 2 HR, 1.28 ERA. Both have been really impressive. |

A broken bat blooper away from a perfect game as a rookie. Very cool. I'll say it again............I love watching him pitch.
