Scrabble is WORD!

**** YES!! SCRABBLE IS GOD!!

I liked this post more when it said Craig Gentry.

Changed my mind.

Craig for Prez and Scrabble for VP!

Beautiful pitching by Scrabble.

It was Craig Gentry yesterday. Which may be even worse.

Oh Noes. Neg Rep.

I know why people are post whoring the donation thread, but why are people post whoring that Raider thread?

Okay so I was home for all of last night's game but was out watching the game tonight, the run scored while I was in the car. Do I stay at home for the other games, or go out? Just for Jaime's next start if needed since he actually looked good tonight? Also, I can't express enough how much I <3 Allen Craig and Scrabble.

Chavez. I hate that evil one who sucks the penis.

Anti-troll defensive measure?

or put the thread on ignore

Man I swear a week ago cardinals fans wanted to waive Jaime Garcia...what happened!?!?!?

When you keep batting your best hitters 5,6,7 and keep the awful Andrus, an injured Hamilton, and Michael Young 2,3,4, you deserve to lose.

Ron might want to consider some lineup construction changes.

Each team in the survivor planet has a thread they are post whiting. Whoever gets the most posts wins.

He hit puberty and sprouted some nuts.

STFU Cubs fan.

SOOO ****ING CLOSE

Damn, that was close.

Just love rollercoaster threads...they are the best

Pujols should have eaten one more biscuit for breakfast.

Wait until we go to Texas. Cards have hit 3 HR's there tonight.

FYP

Have we had a hit all night that didn't come with 2 out?

Holliday, how about some State Farm here.

Berkman ate them all.

BATMANG in the last inning.

Adams is good, but that HR-suppressing environment in San Diego has helped him out significantly in his career. I'd love to see him in a full season on another team.

This is what WS BB is about, and Clay was bitching in the other thread about it being a boring game.

LMAO

Sure would like some insurance here. These guys are just too good - they've got to break out at some point.

:spock:

This game has been absolutely riveting from the first pitch.

Shit calls starting to trinkle in.

Really wish we had Freese up here. Hopefully Descalso can bring back some of his early season RISP and high leverage magic.

Sure wish Tony hadn't pulled Freese.

Anybody else still having slow reply times in this thread?

I don't care that TLR has made every move right. Not having Freese in this spot because of his defense is stupid.

Doubt he's much of a baseball fan.

Been that way since the Milwaukee series

Do it, Sauce. Do it.

Crap.

Very questionable unless Motte seals the deal then......

Getting Kinsler out is the key...Andrus and Hamilton have been flailing away for a while now.

Dude you posted in that thread. :mad:

If Motte blows it its all your fault! :rolleyes:

With a lead in a low scoring struggle in the late innings against a team with great speed, it's a perfectly acceptable move, Descalso just came up in a bad spot.

Taking out Berkman or Holliday when their spot is sure to come up the next inning is an altogether different matter. We needed two runners to reach just for Freese's spot to come up.

How the **** was that not a swing?

Holy shit. 1st 1-0 PS game in Cards history.....to this point.

Andrus will bunt, I'm sure. He's useless otherwise.

Jesus Christ. Goddamn ****ing dying quail. That Jew Bastard just keeps reaching base without hitting the ball hard.

WS.

Remember Carpenter two weeks ago?

Goddamn. He was safe.

Holy hell he must have had a monster jump.

Yadier's arm is ridiculous, but Kinsler almost never gets CS for a reason. He picks the right time to go.

Gotcha. Damn Cards have played 107 WS games. Makes sense though.

Oh mah gawl

Deep deep trouble now. ****.

What the **** was that?

Wow, he needed to cut that off.

That wasn't Jay's fault.

I don't know what to do here. Do you walk Hamilton?

No. Struggling way too much.

Do you walk Hamiliton, play the infield in...and try to get a force at home? That would set up a double play.

This is a mistake. Rhodes can't throw strikes and he's not a swing and miss pitcher. This is Motte's game, it's not his fault Kinsler on got with a dying quail.

I agree. Rhodes to pitch to Hamilton then who?

Sadly, we're overdue for LaRussa's tinkering to bite us in the ass. But you can't fault him too much. Motte just choked.

Going to Rhodes is probably the right decision. Dotel is still out there for Young and Beltre, right?

I would. It's easier to make a play at the plate when you have a force play. Realistically, you just need to keep Andrus stranded.

I don't know about this. I think Motte can blow it by Hamilton. Rhodes might throw some ducks up there Hamilton can catch up to.

Dotel. He's lights out vs. RHBs.

Hamilton's frustrated, though, so he may just expand the zone for Rhodes.

FWIW, Hamilton hits lefties really well (10 HR this year, IIRC), so there isn't much of a platoon advantage.

Strike out and the a walk and a double play is our only way out.

If you are going to walk him then why pull Motte?

Yea I would have kept with Motte for at least one batter. Hamilton can't turn on a fastball right now.

Josh Hamilton career OPS vs. RHP: .958
Josh Hamilton career OPS vs. LHP: .797

It's a tough one, but LaRussa played the odds.

Shit shit shit

thought he may have gotten all of that one

Letter high dog shit. That's why you don't bring in Rhodes.

Rhodes pitching like he's already got his WS ring. Oh, wait...

Uh oh, that's not Dotel.

Yep. Would not have been my move.

This is the LaRussa we haven't seen much of lately.
