works for me.

CyHawk_Cub · July 31, 2011

Cubs might wanna seriously consider just sneaking out of town this afternoon to avoid further embarrassment on national TV. But yeah, if they actually to play, Holliday should get drilled every single PA tonight.

TruffleShuffle · July 31, 2011

no he really shouldn't. i don't think what he did was intentionally dirty, just clumsy and poorly executed. but you can't let a guy come in two feet wide of 2b, feet high, against the most promising young player on your team without doing something about it, so you hit him in the back or the butt once, and then let it go. repeatedly throwing at him would just be stupid and possibly start a beanball war where a cub player ends up getting seriously injured.

Sammy Sofa · July 31, 2011

Yeah, I'm surprised at the amount of people thinking this was some diabolical action on Holliday's part. He was trying to take Castro out, but like Truffle said, he was just really bad at it. Nail him in the back once if they feel they must, but anything more is just overkill. It's like people have never seen Holliday play before; outside of what he can do with the bat he's a clubfooted oaf out there.

Yea, I'm on board with this.

But which player are we talking? You know, hypothetically speaking...

July 31, 2011

Part of the reason that Holliday's slide was so clumsy is that he was so close to Castro and so far wide of the base when he started it that in his attempt to make contact with Castro he could only stick his foot in the air to clip Starlin. You don't have to be trying to hurt a player for it to be dirty. I look forward to seeing whatever antics LaRussa has after Holliday gets plunked, he's always good for some hilarious hypocrisy in these situations.

You're assuming he gets hit.

I don't see why he wouldn't. It's not like Dempster would be afraid to, and Quade lost his mind arguing over it yesterday, so he clearly feels there was an injustice.

Illini Iceman · July 31, 2011

No way they risk getting Dempster tossed just to throw at Holliday. The umps know what is going on and will probably give advance warnings to both teams.

So Demp gets tossed out. What's the worst that could happen, us losing?

Sosa21MVP · July 31, 2011

Just flipped over to Baseball Tonight for the pregame and hey guess what? Did you know the Cubs traded Lou Brock to the Cardinals? Never heard that story before! \:D/

Sosa21MVP · August 1, 2011

And yes I hope Dempster dots Holliday first chance he gets. This season is a lost cause anyways so may as well get some meatball satisfaction from some basebrawl tonight. :P

InconspicuousZ28 · August 1, 2011

Demp is cruising.

But so is the other guy.

I prefer them just striking him out every time he comes up but I guess I am not old school.

imb · August 1, 2011

Im actually kind of mad that we havent hit Holliday.

Derwood · August 1, 2011

as long as this team is going into the toilet, why NOT get no-hit by the [expletive] Cardinals?

Illini Iceman · August 1, 2011

The Cardinals GM insults the intelligence of everyone watching by saying they weren't looking to shop Colby Rasmus when it was well known that he was in LaRussa's dog house and was going to be traded first chance they got. And of course no one in the broadcast booth brings that up.

TruffleShuffle · August 1, 2011

ok this is embarrassing... jake westbrook???

Derwood · August 1, 2011

Broke up that no-no right quick

Illini Iceman · August 1, 2011

So predictable.

August 1, 2011

Nice job, Theriot.
