    you have four [expletive] outs to get, put your [expletive] closer in.
  2. TruffleShuffle
    this is another terrible post, maybe even worse than controversy's.

    Shut up you pansy! no kidding, seeing the cardinal players doing that will make me either laugh maniacally or clap with a childlike glee. except for pujols, i'll be sad for him, even though he will likely already be looking forward to his long and illustrious cub career at that point. He already has a ring. i'm just saying that because i am sure he reads nsbb and don't want him to think that we have malicious feelings toward him.

    YES YES YES i love when bad things happen to the cardinals.

    bottom of the seventh will be huge with the heart of the cards' lineup coming. if they can get through that then they might not need feliz until the ninth. if things start getting hairy in the seventh, i'd have feliz warming and ready.
  7. TruffleShuffle
    okie dokie. the only thing that annoys me is that beltre didn't do that when he had runners on base earlier in the game.

    this is awful, which team can outchoke the other? i wouldn't even be as steamed if the cards were playing out of their mind, but much like the horrible ws in 2006, if they win it will because the other team fucked up a lot.
  9. TruffleShuffle
    8 lob in 5 innings for the rangers versus just 2 in 4 innings for the cards. should be more than 1 run lead.

    flyers and jets played the dumbest game in nhl history tonight.
  11. TruffleShuffle
    oh great, garcia is out already? given the way larussa manages the bullpen, this one's got four hour game written all over it.
  12. TruffleShuffle
    butler is a nice player, but i'd really like my first baseman to hit for more power than he does.
  13. TruffleShuffle
    ugh... should've gotten that run home from third with nobody out.
  14. TruffleShuffle
    try again.

    intentional walks are very rarely issued when a player is at the plate with nobody on base. more commonly, it's when first base is open with a runner on second or third, and a good hitter is at bat... or in the national league when the #8 hitter is at the plate and the pitcher is probably going to bat for himself. obviously some great hitters are going to decline an IBB with a runner on second and 2 outs. so what happens with the rule about moving the batter to 2b if he's walked again? does the other guy go to third? and on a triple walk does the baserunner just score? if, say, ron washington wants to be a dumbass and put pujols on with two outs and none on, then that's his right. and if TLR wants to take the bat out of his slugger's hands by bunting with the #2 hitter, he can do that too. let managers [expletive] up all they want; it's funny and i enjoy laughing at them.

    did he explain why he had dotel, who's been completely dominant against RH hitters, walk nelson cruz intentionally? even though cruz' obp against RHP this year was .280 or something? also wondering if the crowd noise caused all those dumbass hit and runs and sac bunts.
  18. TruffleShuffle
    man i would be so irate if i were a cardinal fan (and thank God i'm not). that honestly is one of the worst-managed games i've ever seen. just terrible decision after terrible decision.
  19. TruffleShuffle
    copy/paste the imb facebook trolling of cards fans plz
  20. TruffleShuffle
    to summarize TLR's awesome managing in that game: -third inning: bunting furcal to third with a hot hitter (a. craig) ahead of a great hitter (pujols), setting up an obvious intentional walk. -sixth inning: giving away an out (furcal) with 1st and 2nd, none out. -seventh inning: hit and run with pujols at bat and a not-fast runner (craig) on base -eighth inning (top): burning a PH (theriot) to bunt molina into scoring position for a bad hitter (punto) and furcal. -eighth inning (bottom): intentionally walking n. cruz (.289 obp versus rhp this year) with a rhp, dotel, who dominated rhp this year (.154/.198/.211/.410) -eighth inning (bottom): using a lhp with sharp LH/RH splits against a hot RH batter with a career .294/.400/.555/.955 line, rather than using the RH closer who dominated RH batters this year (.162/.220/.234/.454). -eighth inning (bottom): using a relief pitcher just to issue an intentional walk -ninth inning: hit and run with a not-fast runner (craig) as the tying run and pujols at bat. even dusty baker thinks this [expletive] is bad.

    even better would be if they had a rebuttal show immediately after featuring the likes of joe morgan, murray chass and bill plaschke.
  22. TruffleShuffle
    he definitely could be the randy wolf/jeff suppan innings eater that gets a dumbass contract from someone.
  23. TruffleShuffle
    yeah i'm probably in the same boat... leading the series, dominant young rotation with one guy who seemed like a generational talent, and many of us didn't yet know that dusty was a moron and hendry was mediocre.
  24. TruffleShuffle
    yeah texas definitely should have more than 1 run.... don't like that it's one nick punto/allen craig/david freese swing of the bat from being tied.
  25. TruffleShuffle
    guessing k-state's perfect record goes away this week. oklahoma losing probably rescued college gameday from having to go to manhattan, ks. stanford at usc is a big one - stanford also has a home date with oregon, but this might be their biggest hurdle to going undefeated in conference.
