So I finally made the trek to Miller Park this year...got to see Saturday's game with SRO tickets. I don't remember much of the game but I have alot less cash now and I had a headache this morning ;)

I didn't see his interview, but I like it!

Big win last night. Greinke got out of some jams (with a little help ;)) and looked pretty good. It looks like Braun's speed is pretty much back.

I have never seen a sweatier guy than Chris Carpenter last night. Holy cow. :eek:

Surprise! The Cardinals are mad about something Brewers related. Never thought I'd see the day.

I couldn't believe that when I read it. Maybe the cardinals would fare better against the Crew of late if they spent more time hitting and fielding and less time complaining.

Edit: They ought to spend more time checking out their own stadium apparently: http://www.stltoday.com/sports/base...cle_e161f02a-ffc8-57c1-8561-40613edc3593.html

So this is where TLR is choosing to pick his battle. I was astonished he didn't argue when Schumaker was robbed of a base, and likely a run, yesterday.

Yeah, we were throwing at Pujols up a run in the 7th. :rolleyes:

How does Motte not get ejected for taking 2 tries to actually hit Ryan Braun in the back? What a ****ing joke. LaRussa and the cardinals are so bush league its not even funny...

Yep - I'm sure Roenicke thought loading the bases with no outs for Matt Holliday was a great idea. Obviously retaliation was needed! The Cardinals were disrespected!!$%!#$!

I like this from the <a href="http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110802&content_id=22680274&vkey=news_stl&c_id=stl">MLB.com article</a> - Prince Fielder says:
"We're here to win, man. All that fighting stuff, that's for the birds."

:D

also, last I checked, you were allowed to pitch Pujols inside. Pretty sure that hasn't been added to the rule book yet. What "message" were they trying to send? Have better control? LaRussa honestly thinks they were trying to throw a pitch near his head, even though he knows they weren't trying to hit him? And bull**** they didn't hit Braun on purpose. LaRussa says if Braun had gotten out of the way the second time, it would have been over. Maybe only because then it'd be obvious they suck at hitting people. :p

It is funny to listen to Bill Schroeder during these games because he has absolutely no love lost for Tony LaRussa or the Cardinals.

Pretty stupid of Molina to blow up - he's gonna miss a few. I don't think he really spit at the ump on purpose, but he bumped him more than once, and after the ump kept backing away from him. Dumb.

That really felt like a playoff game.

Tony LaRussa is a d-bag...just as simple as that. He called all of us Brewers fans a bunch of idiots! This article is just priceless: La Russa, unplugged, on Brewers throwing at Pujols
(On the pitch that hit Pujols) said:
"Yeah, real scary," La Russa said. "They almost got him yesterday too. There's nothing intentional about it. But they throw the ball in here and that's what all those idiots up there -- not idiots -- all those fans up there are yelling. Do you know how many bones there are in the hand? Do you know how many bones there are in the face? That's where those pitches are. And Braun -- we were trying to pitch him in too, and it was just a little stinger. I don't want to even hear about Braun getting a little pop in the back, when we almost lose this guy (Pujols) in several ways. The ball up and in is a dangerous pitch."

See, the Cardinals do this all the time to anyone they deem a threat -- whether it's warranted or not. This is why I have been arguing for years that since they are going throw at guys regardless, just go out there and hit the 40 year old Dominican in the neck with a pitch. Just uh, you know, be smart enough to not to pull a Yost and do it at the absolute worst possible time. Pick a spot and just drill the guy. As a bonus, you then get to watch Dave Duncan hobble his *** to the dugout rail and aimlessly cry at anyone who might listen. Besides, there's an easy out: The pitcher wasn't trying to hit him...he was just blinded by all those twinkly LED lights.

Tony LaRussa <a href="http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/126704128.html">complains about Bill Schroeder's comments</a>, and then calls him to "clear the air".

Maybe Tony should go back to worrying about whether the opposing coaches are in the coaches box.

How could he possibly get a good view, though? In the top half of the inning the LED board is so dim you can't see anything at all, while in the bottom half it creates a blinding display of light that renders vision all but impossible.

Let me get this straight, La Russa has problems with:

-the strike zone
-the LED ribbon lights
-pitching inside to Pujols
-Schroeder's comments on TV
-stealing signs (totally legal)
-jersey untucking
-watching your home run too long (opponents only)

Did I miss anything?
