Cardinals vs. Chicago at Wrigley Field Weekend Thread

['Hamas' Jenkins]

from Bernie,

When FSN Midwest’s Brent Stover and Mike Claiborne (KTRS) approached Edmonds after the game for a quickie on-field interview that’s a standard courtesy for rights holders, Edmonds blew them off and said.

”’I’m (censored) done with St. Louis TV and radio and I’m (censored) done with the Cardinals,’ ’’

And then he walked into the Cubs dugout.

It'll pass. Remember when Neal Smith went to the Broncos? A lot of harsh things were said on both sides. I see hm at Chiefs charity events and out at the games now.


I don't think Jummy has anything against the fans. For crissakes they gave him a standing O when Larussa sais we should ignore him. Probably not too far from Allen's situation with the Chiefs. Hates King Carl but loves the fans.

I don't put much stock in Bernie's articles. I'm not a Cardinals OR a Cubs fan, btw.
In the interests of what was really written, though: Here's the link to the article:

http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/spo...3?OpenDocument
(if this doesn't open here's the link to the sports page http://www.stltoday.com/sports/cards ) where you can check out any of the Cardinal-Cub game Post articles.)

There is no "(censored)" in the Edmonds quote as published by Bernie in the Post.

Bernie makes this huge deal about Edmonds flipping his bat at the Cardinals dugout and staring at them after his first home run. Bernie interprets this as "Take this bat, Tony La Russa. Take this bat and..."
When asked about this in another Post article (by Joe Strauss), La Russa is quoted as saying, “Everyone flips the bat. Why do you want to stir up stuff like this? He’s been a good player his whole career and he had a good day. I didn't notice… that’s just the way the game is played today.”

I think "Edmonds hates the Cardinals" and "anti-Cubs"stuff simply sells more papers in St Louis and that's why Bernie (among others) writes this kind of stuff.

See this is what I'm talking about. It was percieved as dissing the Cardinals. Showing them up. It was talked about on sportscenter. The players watch sportscenter. They are being percieved as being "shown up". Baseball etiquette says retribution musr be paid. Bob Gibson style. Just let them hit themselfs and let the benchs clear. Its time for a Cubs/Cardinals bench clearning brawl anyway. Its been too long.

In the words of Maverick, the Cubs lineup is a "target rich environment".

You can't hit Edmonds and you want to wait until the later innings. Maybe send Franklin in there to plunk a guy. We won't miss him for a few games. No need to head hunt. Just plunk him in the thigh.

I bet the umpries warn them before the game. Its a nationally televised game. MLB doesn't want a bench clearing brawl on national TV.

Especially if we are getting our ass's handed to us we had better respond. This pussification of America stops now. Long live Gibby!

Sportscenter,CNN,NFL Network etc. it's still media hype,hell even La Russa said as much in that quote on the previous page.

La Russa is quoted as saying, “Everyone flips the bat. Why do you want to stir up stuff like this? He’s been a good player his whole career and he had a good day. I didn't notice… that’s just the way the game is played today.”

People were complaining about it long before it was on Sportscenter, trust me.

LaRussa is just proving again that he's a pussy who doesn't "play that game".

I'm sue you guys don't know but Tony Larussa is old school but not old school in plunking guys and bench clearning brawls. His teams rarley retaliate. It's just his style. I would never expect anything to come from him but the players after seeing how its playing in the national media may take it upon theirselfs unless Tony forbids them to throw at someone.

Baseball brawls are usually the lamest things ever. Someone gets hit in the legs or shoulder after a home run, He charges the mound. A couple of wild haymakers are thrown that land about .05% of the time and then everyone piles on the two combatants to stop further bloodshed.

And it's a good thing too because Big Zambrano would WTFP the entire Cardinals roster by himself.

Well, maybe for the exception of Pujols, I hear roids block pain.

Noone gets a chance to wail like Nolan Ryan did.

But if they were allowed Pujols would put him in a headlock ala Nolan Ryan and wail on him. Have you ever saw him in person? The dude is large.
