I'm sorry, I still haven't written about the new idol Matt Forte yet. I will I will...
This also is my second straight "non-Chicago" post. I must apologi.
This is another call out post, this time the fingers pointed at you Tony LaRussa. If the Cardinals lose the World series, it will be solely on your shoulders. As much as you have taken the credit for being some master minded baseball god, you really screwed the pooch on tonights game 5.
I didn't see much of the game, but I did see that every Texas pitcher was trembling at the very thought of pitching to Albert Pujols. Finally, it's late in the game, a runner on first base and King Albert was stepping to the plate. Texas will have to pitch to him, and if Alberts history in the World Series was any indication of what he would do, St Louis would probably take the lead.
Well then the mad scientist on the Cardinals bench decided to have the runner on first STEAL!? Needless to say the runner was thrown out and Texas proceeded to walk Pujols. Crisis averted.
Later in the game, Texas had just taken a 4-2 lead and were threatening with a runner on second and third. In a game which runs we're hard to come by, and every player on your bench should be used with extreme caution and wisdom... Our honorable mad scientist LaRussa bring a pitcher in to pitch to 1 batter, intentionally walking that batter, then brings in another pitcher to finish off the inning!?
As it happened I turned to my brother, who immediately questioned why you even bring a new guy in to walk someone, and said "don't question it until LaRussa is proved wrong." We'll I immediately ate my words. Tony pulled the guy in favor of another guy and we were left cracking up.
So Mr. TLR, I suggest you stop believing what is said about you in the press if you plan on navigating your team to a championship. Although I don't think this team is in this position without him, they will lose the Series with him.
