"I'm into that ballet I saw out at second base that i saw with the second basebman and the shortstop." -Joe morgan

[brinoch]

That was terrible. Prior would have been a better choice to hit there. At least he has a chance.

[Coach C]

Bah.

As a cards fan Macias is my 2nd favorite cub! :wink:

 

Who's the first?

[UK1679666180]

One of few who remain at SS who despite having a quick release still can't throw runners out on plays that should be made.

 

but turns a nifty double play...

 

The throw from 2B to 1B can be made with any arm. If that was how you scouted the arm of a SS, it would it make it alot easier for many SS who had to shift to 2B.

I would have perfer Zambrano if he was going to hit. If it was bunting, I would have liked to see Maddux there instead.

Neifi.

[Blueheart05]

i like how pujols came off the bag. :x

 

but he's still out. :roll:

 

thanks again Bucknor.

 

Yeah, it did look like his heel came off the bag as Jose was crossing...

[illiniguy]

or i dont know save the bat and use maddux who could get the bunt down in his sleep. macias has as much business on a big league team as half of us in here.

Nefi, although Dusty would be a strong choice to.

Told ya.

[cheapseats]

I generally don't like sacrifice bunts, but with the pitcher due up and no outs late in the game, this was an appropriate time for a sac bunt.

 

But why send in Macias to do it?

 

A lot of managers send in pitchers to sac bunt. Maddux would have been a fine choice, for example. Carlos is a decent bunter, too. Why waste a position player in this situation?

 

We criticize Dusty for a lot of in-game decisions that aren't really that bad, but I hated sending Macias in to bunt.

[sethuel1]

Wait. David Eckstein is gritty because he might someday donate a kidney?

 

That is flat out dumb.

[Blueheart05]

Will it be good Wuertz tonight or the guy who can walk the ball park?

[Edgeman187]

No takers on Thompson eh?

[Balsa]

PUT MADDUX IN FOR A BUNT. JESUS F#@$ing CHRIST DUSTY.

I know. The timing was just funny.

[ToupeeOnFire]

The Cardinals play Jack Buck's Wrigley Field rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th inning stretch (at least for this series).

[Edgeman187]

Behold the power of Eck!!!

No argument from me.

Neifi.

I'm thinking Dusty

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

can you imagine what Manny Ramirez would be like if he played with the heart Eckstein has?

 

 

little talent + heart = all-star

 

massive talent + laziness = all-star

 

 

crazy.
