Come on, where are the Theriot defenders? It's been like two days since we've had people bicker over him.

[Sammy Sofa]

OMFG DONT STEAL BASES THERIOT YOU SUCK AT IT

 

he doesn't actually.

 

He does, actually.

[Andy]

The freaking hell of it is we never do that on the Kendalls of the world, but for some reason everyone wants to prove they can run on Yadier. It's driving me freaking insane how damn stupid we are and it's going to cost us the division.

[E.J.]

I'd like to punch Lou in the face. Theriot should only be stealing on noodle-arm catchers like Jason Kendall.

[Rob]

OMFG DONT STEAL BASES THERIOT YOU SUCK AT IT

 

he doesn't actually.

 

7 SB, 6 CS

 

You're right... that's worse than just "suck"

[Brendan]

Someone please tell Theriot to stop running. He's horrible out there.

 

but he's got 7 sbs!!!!!1!!11 he's fast!!!11111

[CubsGM]

How is the Cardinals bullpen?

That is it for Cy Wellemeyer.

[BigSlick]

what a play by molina.

i could have thrown theriot out there, not impressive in the slightest

[17 Seconds]

OMFG DONT STEAL BASES THERIOT YOU SUCK AT IT

7 SB/6 CS

 

Last year was an aberration. Theriot sucked at stealing in the minors also.

[Andy]

Card fans excited by a catcher throwing out Theriot?

They should be applauding Lou and Theriot.

[UMFan83]

WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW THE FANS GIVE THE CATCHER A STANDING OVATION FOR THROWING OUT A RUNNER!

 

IF THIS WAS AT WRIGLEY THE FANS WOULD HAVE THROWN TRASH ON THE FIELD!!!

[mhuber92211]

you all realize that Theriot was safe right? Go back on your DVR. It was clear the tag hit him in the chest after his foot was on the bag.

[Guest]

Geez, Theriot sucks against normal catchers. Why send him with Molina back there?

[genbar]

How about we replace "Grit" with "Idiocy"

[imb]

OMFG DONT STEAL BASES THERIOT YOU SUCK AT IT

7-13 this year, I believe. He's been pretty bad so far.

[DivineBovine]

It's inexcusable not to be able to score runs on this former Cub reject with this umpire and his microscopic strike zone. We're supposed to be a disciplined team now.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Theriot on pace for 31 caught stealings. If he picks up the pace a little, the National League record of 36 is within striking distance.

[UMFan83]

So what? The throw beat him. He sucks.

[E.J.]

OMFG DONT STEAL BASES THERIOT YOU SUCK AT IT

He does, actually.

 

He's about 50% on the season, right? Pretty awful.

[illiniguy]

Yeah, but this is in St Louis and that was the greatest throw ever, Standing O.

[Sammy Sofa]

I always knew "grit" was code for "[expletive]."

[Hairyducked Idiot]

you all realize that Theriot was safe right? Go back on your DVR. It was clear the tag hit him in the chest after his foot was on the bag.

 

Then he's still got one more to go before he makes up for the twice this season he's been called safe badly.

[BigSlick]

I really hate the tired cliche of people saying a team didn't deserve a win or a playoff appearance or something, however

 

If this team keeps playing like this, they deserve nothing and will almost certainly take 3rd place.
