  1. Why is Morgan saying to look for the slider? It's much easier to react to a slower breaking pitch if you're looking for a fastball than vice versa.
  2. What the hell is up with this zone tonight?
  3. How much do you want to bet they put erotic pictures of Pujols up before the end of the evening?
  4. I like how they treat the Cub hitters as nothing more than an impediment to their Pujols stories.
  5. How's he supposed to save us if he's on the bench?
  6. I wouldn't say no to a walk-triple combo by Murton and Cedeno again.
  7. Yeah, "there's nobody in the game like Pujols" alright... Steeeeeeriiiiiiiiiike Three!
  8. As long as it keeps them from talking about how injury-prone Prior and Wood are, I can deal with it.
  9. His arm is still probably pretty sore from that 37 pitch outing.
  10. 1. I've probably watched just as much baseball as you, if not more. 2. The entire premise of damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't is that it's impossible to win. By definition of the game, it's entirely possible to win. The idea is to make educated moves so that over the long haul, the good decisions vastly outweight the bad ones. In 99% of cases, that's evident in the statistical record. I'm sorry if you disagree. But if Dusty had left Marshall in and Marshall had gotten a DP, Dusty wasn't damned. You may be trying to make a different point, but you're using the wrong cliches if you are.
  11. Yeah, but I would love it if he had managed to at least knock down that Pujols shot through the hole.
  12. Peter Gammons was looking so afraid of being touched by the people sitting next to him.
  13. Why wouldn't you want to put your best pitchers in there in the toughest situations? Just because it's early?
  14. Sorry not buying that. Say Marshall remains in the game and gives up the long ball? Then it's "stupid Baker why leave the rookie in the game?" The manger is damned either way. He leaves the starter in too long or pulls them too soon? It's all so subjective. Nobody has a crystal ball. The manager certainly isn't damned either way. The fact of the matter is that leaving Marshall in gave us a better chance to get out of it. You're acting as if the only choices were to let Wuertz let two in or Marshall give up the longball. With Marshall being an extreme groundball pitcher, there was more than a decent chance that he could've kept anything from happening at all.
  15. Well at least there wasn't too much damage done...
  16. My apologies. But doesn't quoting me kinda defeat the purpose of saying that?
