2011-08-02 Cardinals (Garcia) at Brewers (Marcum) [Brewers lose, 8-7, 11 innings]

[natronek8780]

Good job by Rock and BA actually telling it like it is, calling them "Bush League" and "Fashion themselves the keepers of baseball etiquitte." I'm glad to hear them say that... perfect.

[pitchleague]

dang, I hate it when I'm right.

[YoGasKpose]

Now would be a good time for a Prince launch with a long stare, a bat flip, a Barry Bonds style spin immediately preceded by a Sammy Sosa hop, and finally a home plate crossing leap into the arms of Tony Plush. If anyone can hold Prince, it's the T.

[MillerParkSouth]

unbelievable. it does not get any more bush league than that. i'm glad Rock was calling it like it is. What a freaking joke.

Morans.

[Glennron]

Are you freaking serious? Its time to some mound charging. How is that not an ejection?

The last thing we want is for Braun to get tossed and this to escalate into something more. TLR is clearly a classless moron. Just go with the dumb archaic baseball tradition and take the free base in a tie game against your main rival for the division at this point.

[jjfanec]

That has to be one of the dumbest retaliation bean balls. Pujols was obviously an unintentional beaning. The game was close and there were two runners on and Holliday and Berkman were up next. Come on.

[CheezWizHed]

I wonder if Braun put on a bit more armor before going up for that AB

[GamelToe]

I hate Tony LaRussa. So much.

[AZBrewCrew]

Man i hate the Cardinals. Classy.move there LaRussa.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

If you don't like the Tony-ball, then do something about it...now's the chance.

[theavrock]

I want Prince to start jawing at the pitcher. They are obviously pitching around him.

 

Walk him and let McGehee hit one out.

 

I want blood.

[markedman5]

Bunt?

[Schlitz001]

What's up now TLR? How's that beanball working out for you so far?

[jason21nl]

Someone really needs to throw one in the dugout and drill TLR.

[YoGasKpose]

I really don't mind Rzepczynski being pulled here.

[GamelToe]

Situations like this are why Nyjer Morgan was born.

[MillerParkSouth]

hopefully this bites them like it bit Yost in 2007. Really want this win even more now. screw those guys.

[Mr QL]

Should send Saito back out for the 8th

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Total BS there. No excuse for Tony the DRUNK and the pitcher getting tossed. Throwing AT somebody is bad enough. Doing it 2 pitches in a row should be an auto ejection for the pitcher and manager and a suspension.

 

Especially when the situation is so deliberate. As others have said, absolutely no way Saito was throwing at Pujols with 2 on and no outs.

[jason21nl]

and nothing like putting guys on base when playing the team you're trying to track down. I'll take a base runner and a 4.5 game lead on these jerks

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Odds that Counsell is brought in to PH?

[owbc]

Sadly, the national media will let the Cardinals continue to get away with this garbage.

 

However, I remember Yost "getting even" against the Phillies I think, and it ended up costing the Brewers. If he wants to put the leadoff runner on in a crucial inning, fine. Leadoff runners score 50% of the time. Throw away the game for the sake of tradition.

[Patrick425]

I'd really love to hear what the conversations were between Braun and Pujols and Fielder and Pujols

[LouisEly]

Love Rock's comments, especially since the Brewer feed is being broadcasted nationally by MLB Network. Show the country what classless hypocrites the Cardinals are.

Watching it on MLB Network in NY. Hearing Rock say "the Cardinals fashion themselves as the keepers of all thing baseball etiquette" on national TV was priceless.
