A good start. Derrick Goold tweet
Not heard booing like this at Busch Stadium III -- ever, maybe.
Three runs (two on solo homers) from #LAAngels flip game in the ninth. #Cardinals now trail, 6-4, facing their fifth consecutive loss, their eighth in nine games. [Reply]
Lol what do you expect when they decided this pitching staff was good enough. They had been getting away with this crap for years but the luck finally ran out. [Reply]

His players respected him and played their asses off for him.
Y'all that hold onto a single decision like grim death deserve Ollie Marmol.
We had one of the best in the game and fired him for all the wrong reasons. But keep telling yourself it was justified because that time he brought in a guy because he needed a strikeout. [Reply]

Actual manager? Who is out there? Bochy, Showalter, Baker, Francona are all gone. The only established name out there as a FA is Maddon. I would love to have him. Counsell's contract expires after this year. He would be a desired target, too.
Who gives a shit if some guy paid their dues in the minors. There's no actual managing in the minors anyway. And I'm not real impressed with these modern day managerial guys that get promoted from bench coach jobs anyway.
Molina and Pujols know baseball as much as anybody out there and they have the respect of the players. I don't feel like Marmol has the respect of the players. Obviously, there's more to managing than just baseball intel, but it's still not rocket science. [Reply]
I am also for Ron Washington. You've got to love a two-time World Series manager that did coke so he could stay up and read scouting reports.
