TOMMY EDMAN IS STARTING IN RIGHT ****ING FIELD!!!
Lane Thomas and Randy Arozarena are on this team...finally...and Tommy ****ing Edman and his sub .300 OBP is starting in RF and batting 2nd for reasons that defy all goddamn logic. And the only player in tonights lineup that's hit worth a shit since the All-Star Break - the dude who drove in the only run last night - is batting eighth so that Carpenter and Molina can bat 6 and 7. **** these guys, man. Just **** this entire franchise. They're stupid, they're lazy, they're greedy. They're just one who sucks the peniss all around. |

Just gonna let us keep hanging around so that dipshit and his band of dipshit sycophants and coffee-getters never get fired. "Well we were right there in it with 6 games left in the season and if we can get baseline, representative seasons out of Goldy and Carp next season, I think we'll be in a great position to win 90..." It took a few months, but I'm back to rooting for losses. This entire front office needs to be nuked from orbit. And as much as I think Shildt has helped this club on balance, if this shit is his call, get rid of him as well. I hate this team so goddamn much. |

But his lineup card is on him. His best hitter right now is Wong. Who wants to bat lead off. Isn’t that the dogma of a lineup, Get your best hitters more AB’s in the game? 1-3 are dead spots way too often in this lineup. His fascination with Edmond, I just don’t get. It’s too much like a Matheny move for my taste. |

CUBS LOSE! Choked another game away with epic bullpen fail in the bottom of the 9th.

If the Cardinals score 60 against a high school team, how many ABs would Carpenter need to get on base twice? 13? 15?
The entire team has hit tonight and that ****ing scrub is 0-4. Unsurprisingly Yadi isnt far behind at 1-5. |

FWIW, Yadi's hit was an infield single, which is more impressive than him going 4-4. |

At least not seeing him we wouldn’t have a constant reminder of giving an extension to a guy his age who was off to a ****ing terrible start to the year and already signed through the next.

He was 2-23 or something like that in the minors. He goes 2-3 and bam, he’s good to go, get him up here now. Now, he’s beginning another 2-23 streak when our offense sucks bad. Give the Cuban or Lance a chance for crissakes. |

He'd hit the solo homerun to go up 60-0.

As if you need more proof...you want to know how bad Mo really is at his job?
Consider that following the World Series win and using the 2012 roster as the base...if you made ZERO trades or ZERO free agent signings (excluding amateur signings) this is the roster you might have today. Starters: Flaherty, Lynn, M. Gonzalez, Hudson, Wainright Relievers: C. Martinez, Helsley, Wacha, Weaver, J. Kelly, R. Sherrif, J. Fernandez Infield Starters: Wong (2b), DeJong (SS), Carpenter/Freese (3b), Voit/Adams (1b) Utility: G. Garcia Outfield: Pham, Mercado, Piscotty, Bader Payroll of 94,331,000 Actual 2019 Payroll: 147,700,000 Basically coming into this season if Mo was fired, the new GM could have effectively signed both Harper and Machado and probably come out ahead. |
