I watched the game on ESPN last night. That network has even turned live events into something almost unwatchable. They literally had a half inning of live action on a split screen with an interview with a goddamn peanut vendor. And I'm all for diversity and equality but what the hell is Jessica Mendoza doing as an analyst for MLB? If you played Arena League football NBC wouldn't put you on the Monday Night Football crew.

That way the two of them can stop letting other people's inherited runners score AND if they do come in with runners on, it'll be the other shitty reliever's runners that way they'll both come to feel the pain that the starters feel every time one of those clowns comes in, allows both inherited runners to score and manages to squeak out of the inning only adding a single tally to their own ledger. As bad as those guys have been, the damage they've done to their fellow pitcher's ERAs has been even worse. They just suck something awful. but hey, multi-year deals for aging middle-relievers always work out nicely, don't they?

At least Cecil has oly 22.5M left on his contract after this year...
Craziest thing with his contract is that it was coming off a mediocre year. |

Moe tried to jump the market and he ****ed up. The Rockies did the same thing (though perhaps less egregiously) with the 3/$18 they gave Mike Dunn for no reason I can determine.
The Indians sat back and got Boone Logan for 1/$5.5. Mo didn't wait out the market; he panicked and signed a guy way too early for way too much.

Mo really knocked it out of the park in free agency. Where would we be without Fowler's .206/.305/.418?

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.

So much for that little feel good stretch a couple of weeks ago.
Latest disaster - down 10-0 to the Rockies in the top of the 9th. I don't even want to know the details. |

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).
