If you guys have video editing skillz we could set up our very own CCS Downfall meme :lol:

"A hit and run with Bryan FUCKING LaHair?! Are you MAD?!"

:lol:

 

[Rice Cube]

And as I said that...WTF were they thinking? :lol:

Ah, Cubs.

So that is two strike em out, throw em out double plays on busted hit and run. Hmm, starting to see why Sveum didn't use hit and runs a lot prior to today.

The ballgirl behind the Cardinals' bullpen is kind of cute. She's probably also only 16 or something which makes me a pervert.

The converse is that he probably should have used hit-and-run against lesser catchers and not tried to do it against Yadier Molina.

Catcher matters very little in the hit and run circumstance. I liked the first time he called for the hit and run to help LaHair out, but going with it back to back was somewhat interesting. And I really don't get starting the runners with Baker.

Fucking Beltran

Sure, but it's still Yadier Molina :lol:

I guess they can't blame Marmol for this one.

Yeah it makes you extra out when the hitter swings through it versus a normal human behind the plate.

 

[Rice Cube]

Tons of Cardinals fans in the crowd. That'll help with attendance and concession sales.

 

[dabynsky]

Yeah that really is part of the attendance story of this season. Sori with a rare defensive play that almost resulted in an out.

 

[dabynsky]

well gotta get a run here to give Marmol a chance to blow it.

Have faith, non-believer...

 

[Rice Cube]

Marmol is in. This will be fun.

 

[Rice Cube]

Any win today by the Cubs will be of the walkoff variety.

 

[dabynsky]

Cue Angry Dewz!

 

[dabynsky]

Real nice inning from Marmol.

 

[Rice Cube]

Cue Angry Dewz!

Is he ever un-angry? :lol:
