Game 113 Victory and First Place Celebration Thread

It's a celebration, bitches!

We haven't had one of these for awhile, so I thought it might be nice to put up a postgame celebratory thread. 

Just an outstanding series overall. Beautiful pitching by Wainwright today, a beautiful swing by Colby, and that's enough to get the job done. I love this team so very much right now. I'm thinking, you know, maybe going behind the middle school, etc. But hey, if that's not cool, we can just be friends. 

On an unrelated note, my RFT column about how badly Jaime Garcia and Colby Rasmus suck keeps getting angry comments from people who seem to believe I should now be shamed. Did I not do it right? Was the joke not clear? I'm very puzzled by this. 

Haha, Colby on the postgame talking about all the riff-raff goin' on in this series. I love that goofy bastard. 

Anyway, it's a celebration, bitches. Let's do this.

agreed

obviously the results matter first and foremost but from a pure entertainment standpoint, Phillips’ comments, the Cards response, Grand Slams for Skip and Colby, dominance from Carp and even more dominance from Waino—a superbly entertaining series through and through

"We were men - flesh and blood - and we played baseball in the sunshine. We hit doubles off the wall, slid hard into second base. We had fights, and we made love. We sang songs and prayed on Sundays. . . . We felt pain. And we felt joy. There was a lot wrong with the world. But we weren't sad, man. We had the times of our lives."

I know he's not a good speller

They had this between innings game in Springfield where they would show a video of the players when they asked them to spell something. Colby wouldn’t get farther than 2 or 3 letters. None of the players were very good though.

But I was surprised today. It was a very interesting interview.

I wonder if he has problems getting a grip on the ball in the extreme humidity.

He seems to have a feeling for his curveball and change-up early on, but after a few innings it all goes to shit and the only thing he can locate is his fastball.

Fatigue is a definite possibility, but I wonder about his grip too.

I think he's supposed to skip his next start

I read the only reason Hill got called up over

Anderson was because the Redbirds were in Nevada, and they needed him for emergency today. Yadi is prob due to sit a game next series, does anyone think Hill will get a start or is his call up only gonna last a day?

by mick311 on Aug 11, 2010 6:11 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

all that I've heard about him is that he is unlikely to stick behind the plate

all in all, I’d rather see Anderson get his cup of tea. But either way, I’d like to see Yadi get substantial time off and Steve Hill is not entirely undeserving.

Andersons D isnt great either.

Im surprised they never tried him at another position. Had Hill always been a solid hitter? Looks like he has good power. Unless his defense is atrocious I dont see why Anderson would be a better option.

by mick311 on Aug 11, 2010 6:26 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

conventional wisdom is that anderson's defense has improved substantially.

the MLE’s for anderson and hill’s offensive performances are basically similar. most folks familiar with the minor leagues would say that anderson could be a ML catcher and hill will not.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_baseball_(P)

A hitter with very little power. The first use of the term is attributed to former L.A. Dodgers manager Walter Alston who, when asked about a home run by Giants’ slugger Willie McCovey, said: “When he belts a home run, he does it with such authority it seems like an act of God. You can’t cry about it. He’s not a Punch and Judy belter.” In current usage, a hitter may be referred to simply as “a Judy.” Illustration: "The other day when Future Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn was touring Cooperstown in advance of his Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, Tony referred to himself as a “Judy” (in reference to the phrase “Punch and Judy Hitter”). At the time I felt that Tony was being Tony, and he was downplaying the fact that he was called a “Judy.” Though Tony did not take offense, I did. I felt that regardless of the title “Judy,” Tony set the modern standard for hitters in this era of baseball. .

Lopez, being a switch hitter, breaks up the prospect of having multiple lefties in a row.

And long-term, Lopez has a good OBP. He has been in a slump recently, but he could come out of it at any time. No reason to jack around with him or Jay (who has obviously seemed very comfortable batting second).

Cueto should get 10 games, in my opinion. Maybe more. I wouldn't argue with it if it was more.

But I hope you guys realize that LaRue wouldn’t be on the DL with a concussion right now if Molina would have done the right thing and shut the fuck up after Phillips walked away. I can’t stand the Cardinals. But I get the irritation at the shin guard tap under the circumstances, and even the fact that he tried to kick the bat away and he said something.

But Phillips walked away and did his warm up swing, then stepped back, and there’s Molina standing on the plate waiting for him, running his mouth.

That’s a chicken shit, unprofessional, bush league move, and if he hadn’t done it, the benches wouldn’t have cleared, and Cueto never would have got the opportunity to panic and do pretty much the worst thing I’ve ever seen on an MLB diamond. Molina should get 3 games, though when he appeals, I’d delay the hearing until an off day after LaRue got back.

that molina wasn’t going to put up with phillips after his ‘i hate the cards’ comments and then play nice by having phillips do the shin taps. phillips irked molina by doing that. the unprofessional, chicken-shit move wasn’t molina’s, it was phillips’.

That's crap.

He doesn’t have to play nice, but he doesn’t have to stand on the plate and jaw either. Phillips said something stupid in the press. Molina did something stupid on the field. For a team that constantly talks about professionalism, that’s crap.

Again, Phillips started it ON THE FIELD by tapping Molina in full knowledge of what he'd said the day before

And then Molina kicked his bat away and he made a point to tap Molina’s shinguard AGAIN.

If you can’t see that Phillips was instigating the conflict, you have a problem understanding cause and effect and should probably seek medical attention.

Phillips did it again, after Yadi told him what-for for the first time.

The bush league move was Phillips flapping his gums and expecting no one in the other clubhouse to know about it. That, and Cueto’s attempt to aerate Carp and LaRue.

But it wasn’t, because he didn’t want it to be. He should have let it go.

Phillies apologists always disregard that second, defiant guard-tap after Yadi had already reacted mildly to the first one.

The instigation was all on Phillips, in deed as well as in word. No doubt Yadi will get some sort of suspension, but he won’t deserve it.

Do you really think Molina will get suspended?

I don’t. I don’t think Phillips will either. Figure Cueto is getting one, and the managers might get one too.

Firstly: You're wrong

Secondly: Who cares? Pennant race baseball isn’t suppose to be all buddy, buddy anyway. And even if it was Molina’s fault (which it wasn’t), well fine and dandy andy, cuz it’s about effin time this team stepped up and took back their place as the overlord of this division. After they put Phillips and the Reds in their places, they should hunt down the Brewers and do the same to them, and effin Ryan Braun ( Braun might be a decent guy, I don’t know, but he needs to be put in his place for subjecting the world to those gob awful shirts).

HE’S YADIER MOLINA, BITCHES!

Hmm
That’s a chicken shit, unprofessional, bush league move, and if he hadn’t done it, the benches wouldn’t have cleared, and Cueto never would have got the opportunity to panic and do pretty much the worst thing I’ve ever seen on an MLB diamond.

I agree. Phillips shouldn’t have mouthed off like that. It was chicken shit, and it was unprofessional, and it was bush league. We are in 100% agreement here.

Molina should get 3 games, though when he appeals, I’d delay the hearing until an off day after LaRue got back.

…ohhhh you were talking about Molina? Well then. We apparently don’t see eye-to-eye. Good day to you, good sir. Good day!

Could Yadier have taken a higher road? Sure. Unprofessional, Bush League? Could be. But I don’t think you’ll find many red-blooded fans or folks out there that would fairly describe responding as he did to someone that had so egregiously insulted him and his team as “chicken shit.”

I think most understand that BP’s bat tap is a ritual for him, but I also think common sense dictates that you don’t lay hands or bats on someone with whom you’ve started a fued and not expect an extremely negative response. I don’t blame BP for the benches clearing, the managers’ defense duel, Carp’s verbal incitement, Rolen’s charge, Cueto’s flailing, any of it – everyone’s actions are their own. But, for what value indirect blame even has, I think it BP owns it. He was the genesis, both verbally and physically.

Johnny Gomes -
“If they suspend Cueto, the people that put him on the wall should be looked at, too,”

Gomes and Dusty defending Cueto, while it is to be expected, is utterly unconvincing. Chis Carpenter was also trapped up against the backstop, being pressed by the mob even more than Cueto probably. Did he immediately revert to some cheap-kicking, gutless bitch?

d-dee in cae you nmissed reply above

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_baseball_(P)

A hitter with very little power. The first use of the term is attributed to former L.A. Dodgers manager Walter Alston who, when asked about a home run by Giants’ slugger Willie McCovey, said: “When he belts a home run, he does it with such authority it seems like an act of God. You can’t cry about it. He’s not a Punch and Judy belter.” In current usage, a hitter may be referred to simply as “a Judy.” Illustration: "The other day when Future Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn was touring Cooperstown in advance of his Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, Tony referred to himself as a “Judy” (in reference to the phrase “Punch and Judy Hitter”). At the time I felt that Tony was being Tony, and he was downplaying the fact that he was called a “Judy.” Though Tony did not take offense, I did. I felt that regardless of the title “Judy,” Tony set the modern standard for hitters in this era of baseball. .

Well here is news for you, pound for pound – Jason Kendall could kick Yadier Molina’s ass- Yadi has his flash, but kendall is the most durable son of a bitch at the catcher position the game has seen – he is a combination of lou gehrig and cal ripken jr, sprinkled with a bit of Bill Brasky

They'd just say I'm not showing the right angles

Or I’m taking biased screenshots, or something like that. Don’t bother. A few of them over there have expressed their displeasure with Cueto kicking with his spikes, but most of them seem content to side with Cueto on the grounds that he was defending himself from some kind of (apparently invisible) attack from a Cardinal player, even if they can’t provide any evidence of that and the evidence that can shown states otherwise.

I might add

That a few seconds before the fracas, Cueto is way on the other side of the pack. He runs all the way around to the other side to get at Carpenter, but his plan backfires when the mob pushes Carp (and thus Cueto) into the wall. It’s pretty clear he was jonesing for a fight.

Here’s moments before the scuffle starts, as Carp (bottom right, red shirt) says whatever rude thing he said to Dusty Baker really set things off. See Cueto on the left there? All the way on the other side of the pack!

And here you can see him running around to the other side to get at Carp (large image, so I linked instead of imaging). (NOTE: An easy way to see that Cueto is heading around the pack to the back side is to find Franklin in those first two shots and use him as a point of reference.)

I have to say about Yadi's interview,

he interviews like he catches, absolutely no fucking around.

yessssss awesome.

FSM’s video URL links can be had by clicking that weird loop thing that’s supposed to be a chain link. The video will pause, and the godawful long link will pop up in a box.

I can't believe I missed this entire series

I’ve been so fucking busy and was only able to watch a couple innings of the second game. Reading about it is fun though, especially red reporter. God those guys are bitches.

dude

this series is going to have to get a name. It was just like that.

There was a lot that happened. It was basically a playoff series. The home series against them in Sept will be loony toons intense regardless of the standings.

but blew it off because it was the first week of classes and i would have had to have missed the very first one of my classes

turns out it’s the second week of classes
