Ryan ****ing Theriot.

Theriot tearing it up

Here we go...

Damn I Really wanted that washed up Lidge out there.

Whatever the **** you do, Punto, don't hit into a DP.

At least give Holliday a chance with a runner on.

They popped up Nicky. You Bastardo!!

You have gotten your wish.

Well, I would have preferred a ****ing hit, but the out is better than a DP.

Come on Matt.

Lidge I know your a decent human being...but die like a dog.

Come on Matt.
Smash one of these

No shit I would have rather him let Jay hit if that is all we were gonna get.

Well we have all seen Lidge throw up a hangy spinny slider and hopefully we get another one of those results.

C'mon, Lidge.

Channel your inner 2005 gopher-ball self.

Come on Matt.

Do your best Kirk Gibson impression.

Come on Matt.

holliday!
sec

Bunt them over?

Manuel overthought that one. Holliday is slightly better against RHP and Lidge is a worse reliever than Bastardo at this point in his career.

Bunting runners over with 1 out is beyond pointless.

You think they can afford to be giving up outs when they only have 5 left? No chance.

Bunt for a hit, maybe. But no sacrifice, IMO.

I wouldn't I was just asking if anyone thought we should.

Let's go Raffy.

Come on Raffy gapper

How about a wild pitch?

Or a hit batsman or a hit or something.

Battle that mofo Raffy

Master Allen is up.

****.

Awesome that it dropped, but there's no way Theriot was going to be able to commit to that.

Come on Allen. Get a hit, walk, strikeout, flyout, just get this inning to Albert.

NOOOOO

Leave Lidge in Damnit

Yeah there was really nothing he could have done.

With the big bats coming up I think you have to hold him up there.

R

Wait, **** it.

Let's go, Master Allen.

THIS.

I was wanting it to get to Albert somehow with Lidge still in.

GET THE BALL IN THE ****ING AIR CRAIG

MASTER ALLEN, LET'S GO.

Jesus Christ.

****

****ing **** **** **** **** **** ****

**** he hit that hard too. Just right at Utley. Furcal should have went rolling in there.

I hate the Phillies so ****ing bad

Reminds me of the good ol' days with Lee on the Cubs.

Good news: Albert, Puma, Freese are up next inning.

Bad news: It's the ninth inning. And Puma hasn't done shit.

Wow, that was lucky. Manuel gets out of his stupid managing decision.

They didn't set a GIDP record.

Just killer.

:deevee:

I don't particularly hate the Phillies, but I do hate when we leave a metric ****ton of baserunners on in tight games.

No shit. This year you can pretty much count on if there is a chance we could hit into a double play to kill momentum......We will do it.

I just have never like Ryan Howard. I've always felt like he has this reputation that was based on 3 good years.

Dude, the Cardinals set a National ****ing League record for GIDP into this season.

Can I be pissed?

WTF were you doing, Skip?

Shumaker was heading toward the wall there.WTF

Howard is probably the most overrated player in baseball.

I don't understand why you wouldn't keep Chambers in so that you could bring in Schumaker to hit off the bench should the pitcher's spot come up at some point in the later innings.

1.6 WAR for 20+ million/year.

NO! Who's team is in the playoffs?

Man Furcal has got to go in there and break that up somehow.

169 dp this year. Thats embarrassing.

I guess Tony was just going all in that inning. Hope it doesn't come back to bit us.

Shit ain't over yet.

That was a catch

Wtf

And we get ****ed.

Just ****ing wow. What a ****ing terrible call.

BRUTAL

And un****ed.

Meels trys to **** us again.

Umps, we get it.

You're even with Tony now. Thanks for shit.

No shit he's easily doubled up there.

What's the point of outfield umpires if they never seem to get anything right in the postseason, anyway? Remember that Yankees/Twins game a while back?

Jerry Meals isn't umping today.

Alright, fellas. Give me a reason to head to the ballyard tomorrow night.

:facepalm:
Ben Francisco

Come on lets win this

Thats playoff baseball. Every batter every atbat has to be taken life and death.

Rake.
