Let me ask you something. Can you tell if Zambrano cares whether he wins or loses?

 

Is this a joke? It almost sounds like you are trolling for responses.

 

Are you going to start talking about fire and intensity now and suggesting that Lou needs to throw a fit and start throwing bases around out there to light a fire under the team?

 

I don't agree with ICF at all, I think the whole facial expression thing is pure crap, but I would like it if Lou blew up and started screaming at this team behind closed doors. I don't think it could hurt at this point.

 

I don't think "Mellow Lou" is a real big help at this point. It's a little too much like Dusty if you ask me.

 

There has to be a balance. They're grown men, and you're not going to get anywhere if you scream at them 24/7/52

He screamed once, not at them, but at the umps, and they went on a six-week tear.

 

I don't think it would hurt. Last Saturday's game in AZ would have been a perfect time to do it, based on how poor that strike zone was.

Do you ever watch Lee at the plate after he gets called for a third strike, or hits another can of corn to shallow left? The look on his face is like someone whose dog's just been shot. That's not what I'd call a killer instinct.

 

Oh God. Are you seriously citing a player's facial expressions now?? Seriously??

 

Oh God. Yes I am. Seriously. Only a fool would think that something's not wrong with him based on that, and his poor offensive production this year.

 

But don't let me muddy up your pollyannish view of this team, that's everything's just swell.

 

I am impressed with your ability to judge people emotions and feelings based on their expressions. You must be one of the best poker players in mankind, I bet you can just see through people's poker faces.

he sure as hell isn't pitching like he cares whether he wins or loses.

Cards are losing, so we'll still have a 2 game lead with a 67-64 record. What an awesome division.

 

1.5 right?

 

Ah, forgot about the Brewers. Mentally I've already designated the Cards as the competition.
