I'd laugh and laugh if, after all that, K-Rod blows the save.

Great AB by Ludwick. Bunt with Pujols here, right?

Table. Set.

No way he pitches to Pujols.

What in the mother**** was that.

Epic, epic, stupidity.

LMAO LMAO LMAO

Why steal?
Posted via Mobile Device

I am going to ****ing murder Ryan Ludwick.

Did TLR really just call a hit and run with Pujols?

That's twice now Ludwick has pulled a Jason Kendall.

The only thing more embarrassing than the decision to steal was the umpire's out-call mechanics.

Even if you steal, YOU OPEN UP FIRST BASE AND THE ****ING PITCHER IS HITTING NEXT, DUMB ****!!

Ugh.

Classic karma.

PUJOLS!!

And Pujols delivers. And Ludwick really looks like an idiot.

If it was a straight steal by Ryan Ludwick, why did Pujols swing?

And that would have tied the ****ing game, Ludwick, you cocksucking reerun.

Dumbass LaRussa screwed you with that shit assed hit n run.

Easily the most asinine managerial decision I've ever seen.

Trey Hillman is embarrassed for La Russa. (assuming the hit and run was called, of course, as evidence suggests)

That would be why you don't send Ludwick with Albert mother****ing Pujols hitting.

That was Hillman-esque.

ROFL

You might want to blame your manager for that. It was a straight up hit and run.

That's what I saw.

Smartest guy in the room syndrome.

Lmao, I really thought they would get a double play there.

Hey, when I have one of the best hitters of all-time at the plate with a runner on 1B in a 1-0 game in the bottom of the 19th, I'm always thinking hit and run.

You can still swing to protect the runner in a non H&R situation.

Regardless, the fact that LaRussa will have Lohse hit but not pitch in this situation is why he should have his ****ing head cut off with a chainsaw.

Wild pitch to tie it here...


I want comedy!

This game should end on a Molina inside the park HR

Base hit!! Tie game! LMAO

Epic.

HOLY ****ING SHIT

I love K Rod's epic blown saves.

Wow.

Doesn't matter. Pujols swung. LaRussa costed you a run, no question.

And it looks like this game doesn't want to end...

Clutch hit Yadi!

ROFL ROFL ROFL

That's why good players save managers/coaches jobs.

Pujols and Molina, your two best position players just bailed out such a dumb ****ing decision.

Baseball gods punishing La Russa, who has tried to quit.

To the 20th we go!

Ball boy to pitch next inning?

Good god. We go to the 20th inning.

I've had this game on in the background since 5pm. Holy Christ!!!!

Time for a "which one of you guys wants to pitch" in the dugout.

I swear it just looked like LaRussa was scolding Pujols in the dugout.

I'm seriously starting to hate that man right now.

He's already double-switched his $100 million cleanup hitter out of the game and pitched his last pitcher for 1 MFing inning.

He's decided passive incompetence won't work - he needs to resort to active sabotage.

In any event, Ludwick is not running there without permission of La Russa, whether it was a H&R or a straight steal (and by the looks of it, it was an obvious H&R).

This game would be over if it wasn't for that asinine call.

Mather back to 3b, Lopez to 2b, Skip to the mound.

Hell, I might just put Flip back out there. I don't think we pulled him from the game, he can still pitch again.

I wonder who the last guy to blow a save in the ****ing 19th is.

LaRussa ready to stretch Mather out. He's obviously the long relief position player.

Oh man - more Mather.

More Mather - LaRussa is actively looking to lose this game.

This just pisses me off.

There's no doubt he should be beaten to death with a log chain and have his corpse hung from the top of the Arch.

Wtf? ROFL ROFL

I think Jacobs finally has a guy he can either hit or draw a walk off.

4th longest game in FRANCHISE history? WTF? I thought it would be fouth in history.

True story:

On Sept. 11, 1974, my Dad (a Cards fan) was in NY on a business trip. As he got dressed for dinner in his hotel room he watched the beginning of the Mets-Cards game on TV. Hours later, after dinner and after-dinner drinks, he returns to the hotel room, flips on the TV -- and they're still playing. He had to fly to Phoenix the next morning, so he didn't stay up to the very end.

You gotta go back to Lopez, at least he's throwing strikes. I have no idea why Mather is still in there. At least alternate them or something.

JUST ****ING BRING IN LOHSE!!

What is the record for most innings in a single game?
Posted via Mobile Device

That should count as like 1/8 of a hit.

He's given up.
Posted via Mobile Device

What time did this game start?

Even with a very generous strike zone, mather can barely hit it.

You know Tony, you can just forfeit. Might as well, you ****.

Lohse is a better LF than Holliday.

3.


Haha, Lohse.
Posted via Mobile Device

Lohse with a very Chris Duncan like grace out there.

It's almost criminal after all the struggle, LaRussa seems content to tank it out like that.... you can't do that to your team.

I only started watching really late. Was Holiday taken out on a double switch or something?

Gotta feel for fans that were DVRing this. They will miss more than half the game.

Even the patrons at Buffalo Wild Wings are tiring of this game.

Some excellent dance beats during MLB Extra Innings breaks this year.

You can almost pin this game on Ludwick's bad base running. The shit play where he got caught between home and 3rd and the bad steal decision.

Don't worry, no one from the media will ask him about it, and if by some chance they do, he'll scold them like they're a ****ing child.

Yup.

Always smart to double switch the pitcher into the spot behind the best hitter of the last 1/3 century.

These dipshits should report early for extra BP tomorrow.

He'll threaten them with a fungo.

**** this guy has pissed me off tonight.

@JPosnanski If Tony La Russa is one of baseball's great overmanaging artists, this is his Mona Lisa. 1 minute ago via TweetDeck

and those are not even his greatest hits.

The strikeout in the 12th with men on 2nd and 3rd and one down was fantastic. I love how 88 mph gas made him look like a high schooler.

Ludwick and Ryan have been ****ing abysmal.

This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends

Not with a bang, but with a whimper.

Baseball replays don't come in slow-mo?

I'm still not really sure why he decided to take Lopez out for Mather in the first place? Another hunch?
