Oh man, just fuck this team in its stupid fucking facehole. Jesus tapdancing christ.
No, it's not good enough to send a guy from 3rd on a bang/bang play with 2 outs when you were down 2 in extras. Nah, can't just risk an out to no goddamn benefit at all. No, you gotta dodge that bullet and then bring A PITCHER IN TO PINCH RUN SO HE CAN GET PICKED OFF!!
And FFS, Jack - just exactly what the hell were you looking at? You couldn't have been looking at the defensive alignment because if you were - you looked right at Castro as he crept in behind you. And your response was to look up and THEN get set.
I mean what in the holy hell was that?
Friggen great team you put together here, Moe. Lord. [Reply]

yeah, Flaherty spaced out but that’s not his job to be a pinch runner. He totally ****ed up being a pinch runner just days ago. So of course the mentality of you got to trust our guys to get the job done, get him right back out there, back my guys. WTF? Didn’t we see enough of this BS with Matheny? This isn’t his job. He’s not ready to take on this additional job. We dodged a bullet last time when he didn’t **** up a knee, mess up a hamstring etc. but nooooo let’s roll the dice on losing our best pitcher again. :-) [Reply]
Mike Shildt on Jack Flaherty's base-running error: "Jack is a plus runner. The reality of it is he wasn't prepped well enough, and I take responsibility for that, to put him in a spot he wasn't able to have success."
You fucking just did the same thing a couple of days ago. Don’t be pissing on our boots and tell us it’s raining. [Reply]
How does everyone feel about Puljos coming back after 8 years? I'm not going to be there but if I was, I'd give him a way longer and louder ovation than any other returning player has ever received. He's still has his foundation in St, Louis doing good work. We won 2 WS. That doesn't happen without him.
I know it was a gut punch at the time. How he left sucked but we got to watch the best 11 years any baseball player has ever had in the history of baseball. He's earned it.

Best player I've ever watched. But we'd be in worse shape if we re-signed him. It sucked for a bit but I have no animosity. [Reply]

Yup, it was awesome having the best player in the game for a decade or so but we got lucky he didn't stay. [Reply]
