we may need him to blow the game for us once Tony decides he’d rather lose than use another pitcher.

The worst thing is the cards can't do anything with Hawksworth cuz he's out of options (although at this point i'd put him on waivers in teh offseason, he's worse than Brad Thompson)

You are wrong Jim Hayes. This is is This is your 2010 Cardinals. It ain't getting any better
"I'll be in the conversation at the end of the year." Adam Wainwright
I really don't fucking get how you stack
a 4.9 WAR Lopez, Ludwick, Pujols, Holliday, Rasmus, Freese, and Molina in a lineup and have a rotation of Carp, Waino, Penny, Garcia, and a healthy Lohse and get a such a piss poor disgrace of a team. Ugh. Jesus tap-dancing christ, what happened to that team:(
I hope Tony is gone after this year, but looking at that lineup, it's absolutely
not all his fault. Serious underperformance by Lopez, as well as Schumaker, Boog, and Yadi at the plate, and even the Mang for a lot of the year. Freese was very ineffective leading up to his injury as well, and Rasmus has been ineffective since the break. Season ending injuries to Freese and Penny. Debilitating injuries to Lohse and Rasmus. Ludwick traded by Mo (although I’m sure Tony had a role in that.) Baserunning blunders aplenty, including crucial ones caused by our third base coach. A bullpen that explodes at the most inopportune times…So many things can go wrong for a team in a baseball season, and a lot of them have for the Cardinals in 2010.
Well injuries are a lot of that
and though I’d be surprised if Pujols and Holliday weren’t playing tomorrow, I also think it’s safe to assume that these injuries aren’t going to improve their perfomances
by infallibleopiniongenerator on Aug 27, 2010 2:17 AM EDT up reply actions
It's a top-heavy team...
Without Rasmus, Freese, Ludwick, Penny, Lohse, and Motte, the middle of the team is kind of gutted. Who else is decent at what they do? Molina, but he’s having a brutal year at the plate. Lopez and Ryan are having down years. Boggs, K-Mac, and Franklin have been good. Garcia is the only guy outside of the big four that is upright and functioning at a high level right now.
Fire La Russa!
so if we need a LFer after this mess, do we....
you know…do we?

Lopez had a problem with his arm?? I couldn’t hear the questions. It’s just baseball. I heard him say that.
Who’s an option? oh Anderson. He didn’t want to bat him against a lefty. that’s why Lohse batted

Was the infield playing in on the last play? It sure looks that way from the MLB.com replay.
Why in the holy fuck would the infield be in with a runner on first base and 1 out?
was wondering the same thing
looked like they might have turned a double play there

Number 400 made Tony a little gassy. FSN showed him belching as a reaction shot to Albert’s hr at least 3 times.
Given that Lopez isn’t hitting, is apparently hurt, and is a vastly inferior defensive shortstop…oh I’ve gotta stop typing Tony LaRussa is yelling at me.
