    Wow. Munson/Lane. Stellar on the basepaths. At least we tied it. Now if we can get another run and hopefully we won't throw in Lidge

    Willy is free to prove me wrong for all the bashing I've done of him... but Munson gets PICKED OFF!!!!

    Just when you think we can't get any worse in any other facet of the game... we suddenly have Lane stumbling all over the basepaths, and Munson not paying attention at 1B.

    Also, Morgan needs to hit the ball like that more when you actually have a chance to drive in runners... guys are throwing it right down the middle on him, time to make them pay.

    Getting picked off first by the cather....How's that for everyone that wants Munson as our everyday catcher. The was just brainless of him to get caught that far off :(

    One problem with Munson coming into the game is that if Lidge does pitch, get ready for some wild pitches

    Qualls, Nieve, and T. Miller are all likely slated to pitch before Lidge tonight... if the game goes that long, I'll take the risk of a few passed balls.

    He probably didn't even realize that other catchers have the arm to do that... Molina does that at least once every game.

    It's turned into a comedy of errors.

    Who gives a damn about offense right now... pitching, defense, and base-running has cost this team a chance of winning 3 out of 4 games.

    we are just inventing new ways to **** this up. a friggin single becomes a double because both douchebags decide the other will get it and then we make a horrible relay throw to let him make it to 3rd when he never should have.


    of course the real problem is that we should have just walked pujols. why give him the chance to hurt us?

    so b/c munson was picked off, now we have the 9 spot again so Qualls is done?

    EDIT: my bad...it was Willy T in the 1 spot...correct? Didn't turn the game on until the 8th

    Because Garner isn't a good enough manager to do something about it.

    because garner has too much pride and is too afraid of looking like a p***y. he thinks that if he gets the better of pujols one time out of fifty, that's a victory.
