stupid walks and home runs.... -
the funny thing is, now they're talking about it as if to compliment the cubs when before morgan couldn't shut up about how bad it was to rely on hr's.
-
quit you're bitching, guys. he's missed all inning, he's not gonna get the close ones now.
-
i wish they'd tell an interesting anecdote about pujols right now.
-
i have no faith in ramirez right now. get it done, lee. best defensive catcher ever gets a pb.
-
walker needs to pass on the memo about not swinging at crap in the dirt to pierre.
-
Pierre? You mean the guy who just drew a walk, but got ripped off? yep.
-
most overrated player ever.
-
they're comparing lee and pujols as if lee is dickie thon in comparison. they do realize that pujols is 1-the series, don't they?
-
That was all Ronny. really? cuz it looked like a short white guy w/ stubble started that.
-
nice play by the cubs' defensive liability at 2nd.

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. Nah sorry but the manager is always damned if he does, damned if he doesn't on any given decision. The manager makes a call and it is up the the player to execute. A manager can make the perfect move in the perfect situation and it does not work out. And he can make the worst move in the worst situation but if it works, most people don't complain. If you don't understand that then you haven't watched enough baseball over the years. i had no problem w/ taking marshall out, but the 'i've watched more baseball than you' argument is weak, weak, weak.

enough harping about reliance on the homerun please. it'd be 4-0 if it weren't for homeruns, idiot.
-
i wanted to leave him in just to see how he'd do. i think either one of them could have gotten encarnacion, who is awful. no way i'd let him face pujols either. bynum on the other hand...
-
eckstein's arm never hurts the cardinals b/c he hustles so much.
-
thanks for swinging at that, jim.
-
why the hell do you throw a fb?
-
nice stop by the worst defensive catcher of all time.
-
jones >>>>> encarnacion
-
ball 1 was a frisbee. just have to hope that encarnacion's suckiness outweighs wuertz's rust/mediocrity. rusch would not have been pulled right there...guarantee.
-
bah...leave him in. lame.
-
hey joe, maybe now isn't the time to try and downplay the importance of home runs.
-
how good does jacque feel right now?
-
barrett has taken great approaches at the plate lately.

what is the deal w/ a friggin' tuesday afternoon game? i have class at 11, 12, 1, and 3, making getting to this game practically impossible. why don't they just push hill back to tuesday to rub it in a little more. :(
