Who is the most reprehensible scoundrel currently on your tv?

LaRussa, Buck, or McCarver?

I think my vote is for Buck, but it’s close.

Man on second

can they do this?

I lobby for a Rangers walk off win here.

by MetsFan4Decades on Oct 20, 2011 10:44 PM EDT reply actions  

Yes, I know.

I really did mean a couple of runs here and then hold the Cards down in the bottom of the inning.

by MetsFan4Decades on Oct 20, 2011 10:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

Unless they hit the ball so hard it moves the stadium to Texas

That’s gonna be hard to pull off.

It’ll be more painful for the Cards fans to drag it out anyway.

Ah, La Russa

at his finest. He’ll use 42 pitchers here to get out of the inning.

Arther Rhodes. For whatever reason, no matter what team he wound up on, whose BP he was in these past few years, the Mets could never seem to hit him. Everyone else had no such problem….

Feliz just walked Molina and you bunt? Punto is not a GIDP candidate...

Is LaRussa watching the game or is he too busy fantasizing about overmanaging?

Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!

by TWilliAM on Oct 20, 2011 11:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm telling you

it’s that ghost manager’s book they all have that we can’t get a hold of. They all love that bunt.

Down BITCH!

Fortunately, this series is very much win-win for me...

If the Cards lose, the Cards lose. If Texas loses, they lose two consecutive World Series.

I dont know why we would hate on Texas

They knocked out the Skanks last season

Eh...

And while I like certain Rangers (Cruz, Napoli, Beltre), they have their fair share of douchebags (Hamilton, Wilson).

Also, Washington is an even worse manager than LaRussa.

How is Hamilton a douchebag?

I'm not sure Hamilton will really play into this WS.

He’s obviously hurt. His swing looks awful – all just arm strength. He must have dug down really deep to come up with that sac fly.
