Slide with your feet please
In the world I see--you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty carpool lane of some abandoned superhighway.
WTF were they running on Soriano?
Mather ain’t a speedster.
Glaus now 0-for-27
against the Cubs this season.
should've taken a strike
that was a borderline pitch

Horrible slide

game changer....
plain and simple, that really really hurts…
gotta tip the cap to soriano though, that was a man throw
Bad luck thread.
Bad robot. Quick, we need a good luck high-koo.
My fellow Americans. As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball, but tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.
why do
people run on Soriano? he doesnt take great routes and doesnt ever dive for catchable balls but he has a cannon for an arm
well, we've lost
2 runners on the bases so far. It may be a valid criticism, although Mather should have been sent there. Soriano just made the play, and Lilly and Soto made the play before.
yeah, you have to give Soriano credit
for a nice play. You have to send the guy, even Yadi (well…)

what's that supposed to mean?
I can’t point out that he slid past the base and ended up being called out because of it?

Hurt Looper
is better than non-injured Looper if he is. I guess that blessing from the lama paid off.

No, he was out easily
I agree about the weak slide, though.
and now momentum swifts
to the Cubs…
Yadi swings and hits a high fly ball... Endy Chavez goes back, to the track, to the wall... ITS A GUNNER!! Yadi gives St. Louis the lead in the top of the ninth!
Looper really should have a better record
he hasn’t been getting much run support lately. Hold ‘em Loop!

we’re seeing a lot of OF’s go back toward the fence, only to come in to catch the ball. It may be the reason Mather was out at home—Soriano had a lot of momentum toward the plate.

You aren't really allowed to obstruct the runner

so standing
in front of home plate is a trait exclusive to Soto?- there seemed to be plenty of room for that player to slide correclty and score , or he could have just beat the throw- if you cant do either dont try and crush the guy who did his job right

the good news is...
we aren’t playing very well, and we’re still ahead by one
the bad new is…
the Cubs always seem to score 4 or 5 in the last few innings
My first memory of Cardinals baseball is seeing Darrell Porter jump into Bruce Sutter's arms on October 20, 1982!

boggs
they let winfield choose because he had more than one reasonable option. boggs choosing the devil rays had nothing to do with baseball.
From Wikipedia
Before his retirement, Boggs was plagued by newspaper reports that the expansion Devil Rays gave him financial compensation in return for selecting a Devil Rays cap for his plaque at the Baseball Hall of Fame, though he has denied that any such condition was part of his contract. In light of those reports (and other rumors that teams were offering number retirement, money or organizational jobs in exchange for the cap designation) the Hall decided in 2001 to change its practice of deferring to players wishes regarding cap logo selection, and reinforced the Hall’s authority to determine with which cap the player would be depicted. The Hall decided that Boggs would eventually be depicted wearing a Boston cap for his 2005 induction, despite his acrimonious relationship with Red Sox management. During the Hall of Fame player introductions of the 2008 All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium, he decided to wear the Yankees cap instead.
For some reason, I thought he wore a Devil Rays hat at the all-star game.

He’ll wander around and eventually make it to the mound. Somewhere in between he decides if he’s going to change pitchers. He talked about it one day in a press conf. Said sometimes he leaves the dugout to change pitchers and then changes his mind somewhere in between.

We're Still Paying Edmonds' Salary
What really makes me want to puke is that, apparently, we’re still paying edmonds salary.
According to Cot’s Baseball contracts, the Cubs are only paying him league minimum while we’re still picking up $2M.
Edmonds signed as a free agent 5/14/08 (Chicago pays pro-rated portion of $0.39M ML minimum – about $0.29M – with SD paying about $5.71M and St. Louis paying $2M)
So says, Titus Pullo (formerly The Dude)

They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
A No-Cubs Clause
Really, we should just put clauses into all of our trades that we won’t pay a dime if the player get traded to the Cubs.
I really don’t mind any other team. It would create the proper disincentive.
So says, Titus Pullo (formerly The Dude)
Kind of hard
Right about now, it’s kind of hard not to think of it as $2 million to have him hit two jacks against you.

So says, Titus Pullo (formerly The Dude)
No way.
I have to agree that .350 hitters who draw tons of walks, hit 30+HR, play ++ defense, provide ridiculous leadership and have a certain j’ne c’est qua ability to make things happen on the bases are really just a dime a dozen these days.

yeah
people like that want him to hit .550 or something

Yadi swings and hits a high fly ball... Endy Chavez goes back, to the track, to the wall... ITS A GUNNER!! Yadi gives St. Louis the lead in the top of the ninth!

You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty carpool lane of some abandoned superhighway.
my bad
thought that was about the check swing.

well, that is about as good an example of a dumb ass
as you will see in pro baseball. Way to use your head, Troy, check-swinging a low pitch on 3-0 in a 2-2 game in the eighth with two runners on base.
He's scared of curve balls

molina- single
pinch hitter- single
schu- single
Mather- grand slam
that’s right you heard it from me first
feels like we are losing 8-2
Cubs have made every single play tonight.
Is Tony afraid
of making his veteran 3b mad again? Troy should’ve taken such an a-chewing for that 3-0 pop-up the other day that he didn’t even think about swinging at that one. I don’t care how veteran you are, you should get blasted for making bad decisions. Either you re-focus because of it, or you earn a little pine time.
Inexcusable.
we need him in the 8th...
... this is higher leverage than the 9th will be b/c of the order. this is the best place for K-Mac. Springer in the 9th.
The high leverage inning will come if and when we get a lead
I have the feeling this is going to EI

If Tony believe in high leverage vs last inning
then, yeah, he should be the closer. But LaRussa believes in closer = 9th inning. So no.

No, No
it would be unfair to give Perez a job he has had for his entire professional career.

He should have been closing a long time ago.
I am fine sticking with Perez now, but K-Mac should have been closing for a month now.
Unless we get in a time machine
and go back to the 6th inning, no.

I could also see this as the turnaround game of the year. Bullpen finally sticks and we have a big inning and win. Than we sweep and go from there
