7/12 Game 2 Cardinals (Wainwright) @ Cubs (Wells) 7:05 ESPN

[Cynosure]

this is so aweosme.... win or lose LMAO!!!!!!

 

Joe idiot [expletive] is mad... go die moron.

[JGalt73]

I'd feel better if Marshall hadn't just walked a hitter before his sojourn in left.

So Johnson's going to bat against Franklin in the 9th instead of Hoffpauir. Great.

 

we aren't going to score anyways and the cardinals are going to score at least 2 here, so who cares.

[Keener98]

Joe Morgan will kiss Larussas ass on anything.

Whatever, this is awesome if only for the unconventionalness (is that a word?).

 

I know Cox has done it before, but I give Lou kudos for having the balls to go for it.

[TruffleShuffle]

when bobby cox did this last year it was widely praised by the sabermetric sites. the chance of a ball being hit to LF in that single AB are pretty small, and even if it's hit to LF it's more likely to be a routine fly ball or single than a difficult play. you roll the dice a little bit for one AB, but you set up better matchups later in the inning and burn one less pitcher from the bullpen.

OMG Pujols talked to him!

[RynoRules]

Oh my God this is great.

 

One of the best moments in Cubs history in my lifetime. Not b/c its brilliant but b/c its hysterical.

 

I love you, you crazy ol' coot!!!

[JimSorgi]

I'm glad they have Joe in the booth to tell us how much of a genius Tony LaRussa is.

[Cynosure]

If that was a Cub that was a swing... pathetic.

I just realized Johnson is in for Soriano. So he won't bat. Lou's awesome managerial skills blew my mind there for a second.

[CyHawk_Cub]

I find Lou's move entertaining, but seriously, he was afraid to let Sean face the mighty Brendan Ryan????

[Outshined_One]

I want Tony LaRussa to counter with a move like that in the bottom of the 9th.

[JGalt73]

Who is pitching?

[str8carter]

Herzog pulled this play back in the '80s....it's really an old time trick.

[Keener98]

I think Morgon has a picture of Larussa above his bed

[Butterscup1679666578]

nice pitch.

 

if he gets colby here, we have to [expletive] win this game.

:rotfl:

[samhainn77]

Pujols must have told him to swing at anything a foot outside.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Does Miller really need to react to everything like its a walk off home run in game 7 of the World Series?

[Keener98]

Who is pitching?

 

Marshall

[CyHawk_Cub]

Who is pitching?

 

The left fielder

[Keener98]

WHat a [expletive] catch!

[Butterscup1679666578]

holy [expletive] [expletive]
