[InconspicuousZ28]

Wow.

[cardslesson101]

This is getting kinda entertaining.

[TruffleShuffle]

mineaswell give the cards the game

[Keener98]

Pujols was really anxious there

[inari]

I'll take it.

[Tryptamine]

.....and Fuku still came in. I can't wait until Lou is gone.

[cubsfan5150]

How should be as calm as a pot head now.

[Keener98]

Where was that pitch

:-k

[Tryptamine]

Yup here we go. Absolutely terrible managing.

[CubColtPacer]

Why didnt Lou double switch for Marmol? He may have to bring Brian [expletive] Schlitter in the game to face Pujols...........

 

Wasn't the correct part of the lineup. They aren't going to take Ramirez, Lee, or Castro out. Colvin was a possibility but that burns a player to only move the pitcher 1 spot.

 

Yea I know it wasnt ideal, but I would have taken Colvin out. That would have given 5 people before Marmols spot, and if you get 5 guys up to bat, you have to figure you would have scored or be very close to scoring.

 

But then instead of Fukudome-Colvin in the 10th you would have Fukudome and either Nady or Baker. So you lose your best lineup and burn one of your last 3 legitimate hitters on the bench to guard against what is only a decent possibility at best.

 

And of course now we see the other reason why Lou didn't do it because apparently he wanted to make sure Marmol was available tomorrow. That is a decision I do not agree with.

Colvin is still in the game. Soriano was replaced and Colvin went to LF.

[TruffleShuffle]

bad pitcher gives up hits and runs, tune in for more at 11

[Little Slide Rooter]

Wait, Lou really put in Schlitter vs. the heart of the Cardinal lineup in the 10th inning? aight.

[Soul]

Everything seems up, and without a lot of mustard on it.

 

This might not be good for us

[InconspicuousZ28]

Lets please not walk the bases loaded.

[inari]

Nothing about this inspires hope.

[Fro]

Lets please not walk the bases loaded.

 

Same difference.

[InconspicuousZ28]

This is not good.

[cubsfan5150]

please double play, :beg:

[inari]

Double play gods...

[Keener98]

This games on Lous head. Great example on how managers can lose games for you

schlitter is really not a good pitcher. at all. it's pretty bad that he's on the major league roster; it's extremely bad that he's facing the heart of a lineup in a tie game.

[NotSoSober]

Who is this Schlitter cat and where did he come from? Is he another rule 5 guy like Patton?
