Sonofa****ing bitch.

Had to happen eventually. I just wish it had happened earlier.

That missed cutoff just cost you guys the lead run.

But I guess you knew that already.

damnit

We're going to blindly trust LaRussa, why?

Dotel should have been the call if you need a K vs. a RHB.

I'm telling you, I have a gut feeling Feliz gives up at least 1 run.

I just don't understand those moves. You need K's there. Why take out your best strikeout pitcher, going to a lefty who K's no one, and then replace that pitcher with a righty who isn't your best strikeout option, or option in general?

That's just nonsensical.

Shouldn't you be waiting til next year?

no

but runs happen in baseball

Cardinals fans blame LaRussa every time anything goes wrong...

it's his fault Motte wasn't superhuman for once tonight!

I don't know man. I think you need someone on the mound who can make bats miss in those situations. Especially in a sac fly situation... most balls put in play will likely score a run, even if you get outs. Motte at least throws pure gas. And it wasn't like he was lost, he gave up a bloop and then had two runners in scoring position due to a poor defensive play.

Motte + Castle.

Disagree. Cards just used the heart of their lineup in the 8th. Obviously anything can happen.

You can argue that Motte should have just stayed in the entire inning, yeah. He's been dominating for the entire postseason and maybe deserved a longer leash.

I live in Dallas, TX 5 miles away from Arlington...the rules of bandwagoning don't apply for me to root for the Rangers if I want to...

in order to not be a shitty Yankees bandwagon fake fan you either have to root for the team you rooted for growing up (unless it's the Yankees) or root for the team in your area...

sorry brah

To be fair, the heart of their line-up hasn't done dick so far.
