I kind of wish Farrell would have a brain cramp and suddenly decide to play Ortiz in CF to make room in the lineup and see how hilarious that would be.

It's an interesting problem for Farrell to have. How much do you weaken the defense to boost the offense? If we had made the WS this year, would we be seeing EE at 3rd and Lawrie at 2nd in this situation?

Probably. Encarnacion can actually be in the field, Ortiz really shouldn't be unless absolutely necessary.

[G-Snarls]

I think playing Ortiz at first is the right thing to do

 

Wilner (Ug) said it well the other day - "You can't lose the World Series with David Ortiz sitting on the bench"

 

I agree. He's your age-defying playoff hitting legend. And it's first base. And he's not exactly replacing a gold glover.

 

A tougher decision would be playing Napoli at third. THAT could have consequences but he's apparently thinking about it

[G-Snarls]

I like Bush Stadium. Great atmosphere.

[G-Snarls]

Why the F is A J Pierzinsky doing on the air

 

Brutal

[G-Snarls]

Farrell looks like Andre The Giant next to Ken Rosenthal

[G-Snarls]

Soo... Am I the only loser sitting home by myself to watch this tonight???

Yes, considering this loser is watching the Leafs tonight.

Cards fans are so much classier than Jays fans. Toronto fans would be boo'ing the other team so hard during introductions. lol.

I'm making wings

And more of our own players. Only Freese got a sort of ugly reception.

[G-Snarls]

Great play by Kelly

[G-Snarls]

What a stat. First 2 games Pedroia and Ortiz are hitting .538. Rest of the team a combined .098

 

Wow

Wow

 

Holy crap, Peavy is getting BABIP'd to death this postseason. Joe Buck lives for tiny samples.

[Boxcar]

Oh, that's why LHB Nava is playing against a RH starter? Because the outfield is bigger?

 

Thanks Tim. Your analysis is timeless.

 

I wonder what the World Series would be like without these two dipshits. Will be awhile before we find out.

[G-Snarls]

It's slightly refreshing seeing Zaun blasting other teams players instead of ours. LOL

He was absolutely right too, especially in the playoffs.

[Boxcar]

Was he blasting Beltran? I'm watching MLB.tv, not SN.

Holliday

[G-Snarls]

Oh boy

 

Chance to blow it wide open right now

[G-Snarls]

Brutal

 

Bases loaded and none out and they fail to score

 

Dammit

[RickyWalks]

It's like watching the Jays.

 

Bases loaded, no outs, no runs.

[G-Snarls]

Wow

 

s*** play by Beltran

 

Double becomes 3 bases

[G-Snarls]

It's like watching the Jays.

 

Bases loaded, no outs, no runs.

 

Then add bad outfield defense too!

[G-Snarls]

[G-Snarls]

I'm feeling like the Cardinals need to score a few more runs and soon

[RickyWalks]

Can we get robot Umpires already?

 

This is retarded.
