It wasn't a sharp performance from anybody. And when they had a chance to put their foot on LA's throat in the 1st, of course they made another out on the bases to end the inning.
At least they're consistent. You can count on at least one baserunning and defensive miscue in pretty much every loss.
This is the product of having a braindead 'player's coach' as a manager. And it's even worse when said player's coach isn't even a guy that players enjoy playing for, just his select clique in the bible study.
This team will continue to spin its wheels until he's gone from this organization. And I don't mean reassigned, I mean ****ing excised. He's a pox on the entire franchise.

That lack of a great breaking ball has always been the question with Wacha. Even when he was dominant early in his career, that curve was inconsistent at best. He just doesn't seem to have a feel for spinning the baseball.
I've long thought Jocketty would have cashed Wacha and Adams in for proven major league talent early in their career, and know some Cards fans who were really
Glad he didn't (pointing it out as a reason Morelia was better). In hindsight, missed opportunity there.
I agree with your take on Matheny. He's just a thick-headed guy who relies entirely too much on old school though and vets who are part of his study group.
I fear we'll be commiserating about that type of manager in the next year or so... as I'm pretty positive Jason Kendall is KC's next manager (which will be just as awful as matheny).
