All Eyes on … Minnesota?
Baseball, College Football, NFL, NHL, Video October 2nd. 2009, 5:32pm
This is like, the biggest sports weekend in Minnesota history. Rod Barajas is not at all involved, but this photo was a great way to end the day.
The Twins need a sweep of the Royals and the Tigers to stumble at home against the White Sox to force a playoff … which would likely be Tuesday (because of the Monday Night Football game). Bonus for Minnesota sports fans: Zack Greinke, your probable AL Cy Young winner, pitches Saturday. So at least three times Saturday, you’ll see the AL Cy Young leader vs. the AL MVP leader (sign-stealing Joe Mauer).
Saturday, Wisconsin visits Minnesota in the Gophers’ sparkly, booze-free new stadium.
Monday night, Brett Favre hosts his old friends from Green Bay.
Tuesday night is the Minnesota Wild home opener against Anaheim.
-
CRM will be your leader this weekend. E-mail him interesting things you want to see on this here blog. And just remember, no matter how bad your week was, this guy can top it.

Yeah, but they had booze at the Metrodome.

mrejr, we have the best 3 game start in the history of the franchise and we’re rewarded with Gumbel and Dierdorf. Just doesn’t seem fair, does it?
October 2nd, 2009 at 5:50 PM

I’d be surprised if TBL could even spell NHL

It’s Wilds.

Jay… they don’t want the #1 crew going to New Orleans to broadcast a blowout.
Saints by 3 touchdowns.
October 2nd, 2009 at 5:54 PM
Yep. It’s gonna be an ugly one. I have a feeling that some of the rosy glow on the San-chize is gonna fade after Sunday…
October 2nd, 2009 at 5:54 PM
Fetch – re: Cy Young:
I don’t know what a FIP is, but does it take in to account a guy pitching to contact and allowing 1 run when he needs an out because his team is up by 5+ runs?
I like stats. I really do. I just don’t think they can always capture the situation that a certain pitcher is playing with.

i really like simms and nantz, but i dont mind that it’s Greg and Dan. Dierdorf is usually so unintentionally funny, he’s worth a post.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:01 PM
Fielding independent pitching. Only counts things like strikeouts, home runs and walks. Actually those might be the only things it counts, cant remember.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:02 PM
Got some Smuttynose Pumpking Ale, it’s solid. Googled it after I got home to see the Beer Advocate review, and it turns out I’ve been to the company’s website before, definitely don’t remember that. I have issues.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:03 PM
Wow. Just getting my first looks at the coverage of the Olympic bids. The people here in Chicago just looked stunned. I openly said I was not in favor of us getting it.
I could get places faster here on a rickshaw being pulled by a six year old with an anvil in his pocket than I could on the CTA.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:06 PM
55 shots and you couldn’t beat Vokoun? Come on SC.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:06 PM
Jesus. I know they’re fake and I don’t care if I’d be boldly going where MANY men have gone before, but Jenn Sterger’s Twi++er picture makes me want to violate her in any and every way imaginable.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:07 PM
If my city was about to prepare for the olympics in 7 years I would move away and move back after they were over, especially in a city like Chicago. it had mess written all over it
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:08 PM
Haven’t seen the game yet. Was at orientation at school. It replays tonight at 12:30. I’ll probably sit down just to see how we looked. I’m actually going to the home opener of our IHL team tomorrow night, the Chicago Wolves. Got a 10 game ticket package (4 seats) for less than $500.
It’s at the same place DePaul plays basketball. Plus, 22 oz Leinies are only $4.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:09 PM
Oh come on the mess caused by the Olympics would be no worse than the fiasco NYC went through filming I Am Legend.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:09 PM
hell yeah it did. i bet something bad would happen. someone would bomb something or some stupid shit like that.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:11 PM

October 2nd, 2009 at 6:11 PM
The 7 year construction and congestion would be awful. Something Chicago needs no more of.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:12 PM
I just want to be able to see an Olympiad in person. I think a track and field ticket would be fucking awesome.
Granted I may try and swing a ticket to Vancouver.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:14 PM
What I adore about Dan Dierdorf is that he’ll be there to remind me that Mark Sanchez is in fact a football player, and not volleyball legend, Karch Kiraly.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:14 PM
This may be at the top of my sports bucket list. I could watch track and field anytime, and in person, at the highest level, would be spectacular. Yes, I know I’m in the very small minority on this one.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:15 PM
Oh and I missed the details of this convo but …. I’m wearing a hockey jersey right now.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:15 PM
No because that’s about how good his team his, not how good he is
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:18 PM
BSanders: I assume its the chicks with toned asses, or perhaps Tyra Banks in Higher Learning?
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:19 PM
Penguins have the big screen set up outside Mellon as the game isn’t on NBC, they have people finding fans and giving them tickets to come watch inside. What a fucking organization.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:20 PM
I don’t watch track and field outside of the olympics, but I just think that would be a sweet thing to watch. Swimming too, but swim meets are muggy as fuck to watch, I’m far too fat to be sweating my ass off inside.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:21 PM
Is that Buzz Bissinger in the front row?
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:22 PM
What time is the game on Mole?
Re: olympics – I reaaaaaaally want to go to Vancouver. I would definitely skip two weeks of school for it.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:23 PM
But fetch, it affects his numbers. He’ll have a higher ERA if he’s pitching situationally. Greg Maddux wouldn’t try to strike out hitters if he only needed to get an out because the Braves were up 5 runs.
Just because Greinke needed to pitch like a superstar because the Royals suck shouldn’t single him out as the best pitcher. He’s had an amazing season, but I don’t think CC should be penalized because he pitched to win, not to have dominating stats.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:24 PM
Nah, I’m an ex-mid/long sprinter, so I got sucked in the same way I did with football. Once you start to break down the X’s and O’s of something you tend to get really into it. Like all the VORP guys in baseball, I assume.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:24 PM
Seven thirty Fetch. It will start later though assuming that’s when the ceremony starts. It’s on NHL Network, I’m having to pirate it.
SC did you ever get the other previews I sent you? I know you were out of town and whatnot, but I sent them from my BB and idk if they went through.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:25 PM
Seven thirty eastern, not God’s time.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:26 PM
Oh crap. Just remembered I’ve only taken in around 500 calories today and burned all that and plus at the gym, and now I’m drinking. One beer already hit me. Too late now. Could be like our opener against Carolina two years ago where I was blacked out covered in puke by the start of the third period (only goal for us that night was by Mark Recchi) and my roommate had to revive me at midnight so I could register for class.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:27 PM
Yeah mole. My fault on that. I was out of town last week, and now that the season is started, it’s almost futile to “preview” teams. The last two weeks have been a whirlwind for me.
I appreciate the content, and if you guys are interested, we’ll be running hockey content all year. Feel free to shoot me ideas and posts. I’ll put them up.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:29 PM
No biggie, the one I put the most into got up so it’s fine! Plus I realized that I would have to have the Rangers in first based on my first two, so I would have looked like an idiot anyway. Moreso.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:30 PM
“Could be like our opener against Carolina two years ago where I was blacked out covered in puke by the start of the third period and my roommate had to revive me at midnight so I could register for class.”
That’s a keeper.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:30 PM
500 calories? Jesus, that’s low, how’d you even have any energy to go to the gym?
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:31 PM
you dont strike me as the have one beer during dinner type
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:34 PM
I have uh … lots of reserves. I put myself on a 1500 calorie diet this summer and still managed to get my bench over four hundred, the trick is to not beat off before you go to the gym. Who knew?
No not at all, I just haven’t eaten for a while. Not saying I’m stopping at one, I should go through at least ten or so during the game, I don’t have to drive anywhere.
Crack tubes!
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:35 PM
Though I do often have a beer with meals, usually lunch. I’m drinking to get drunk right now though, not because I like the taste.

October 2nd, 2009 at 6:36 PM
Some friends have condos in Whistler. Definitely going up. The village is going to be insane.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:38 PM
Bench over 400? As in press? Uh, that’s a lot. And I thought 230 was decent.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:38 PM
haha i know, the “too late now” just cracked me up because it obviously meant you just popped open your second beer
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:38 PM
Oh I weigh a hot good bit, and I’m six one. Not one of those horseshit five foot three asian dudes who can bench a buick because their arms are so small. That’s just my max though, I work out with around three thirty. My lifting partner during the summers is like six four and hates me because it’s so hard for him to bench a lot with his arms.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:40 PM
Yeah, I’m 6′1 about 190 and my back almost comes off the bench when I max 315. I realize I’m not going to be able to go up much more than that without putting on weight or fucking up my tendons something good, so I’m fine with that. My left elbow already hates my ass.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:46 PM
i curl about 1200. i squat about 3 rail cars and bench,on a good day, 10 m1a1 tanks. on a bad day about 8 m1a1s

just a guess, but you’re not the only one.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:52 PM
I curl a 10 lb barbell 20 times in 4 reps and ride a stationary bike for 20 mins a day. Oh, I also attempt to pick up chicks but fail 50% of the time though I think the effort involved is worth at least 350 calories.

October 2nd, 2009 at 6:53 PM
Eh it’s a decent measure of upper body strength, combination of chest and shoulder muscles. Guys who do nothing but work on their biceps are tools though, as the bicep is one of the least used muscles in the human body.

October 2nd, 2009 at 6:55 PM
Haha Im all about cardio and strength training. Just never got the whole “guess how much I can max out at?”
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:55 PM
who is benching 400? i dont buy that for a second. that’s 3 plates on each side (right?) and you very, very rarely seeing guys put that up, except at the combine or weight lifting competitions.
2 plates per side, i might believe it
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:56 PM
Three plates per side is 315, TBL. Two plates is 225, which is what they rep at the combine.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:57 PM
Agree 100 percent. The only reason I know I can bench 405 is at the end of this summer my partner kept urging me to see how much I could do, I hadn’t tried to max out in over three years. Never got guys who just do that and nothing else, that’s not a workout.
TBL I weigh 312 pounds, so it’s not exactly shocking.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:57 PM
me neither . i got up to about 225-235 and just repped it alot.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:58 PM
CJ: It’s related to carousing and bar antics.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:58 PM
I dunno, really, it’s just a dick measuring thing. It was easy for me to get into because with football they used to put our totals on bench, squat and clean on a giant board everyone could see.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:58 PM
of muscle? remember how we used to fight alot? i was wrong
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:58 PM
Yeah it’s four plates. I did the combine test 39 times two years ago, again at the urging of my lifting partner, which is more than anyone at the combine but obviously it’s a lot harder for them since their arms are a LOT longer than mine. I just lift and jog for my own benefit. If I EVER get to the point where I’m flexing in a mirror, I’m killing myself.
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:59 PM
Yes, but can you do the limbo with a drink on your chest?
The true test for any man.
October 2nd, 2009 at 7:00 PM
Lots of leg and upper body muscle combined with a big ole Polish beer gut. I’m a fucking Adonis.

October 2nd, 2009 at 7:12 PM
No you don’t, man. He was on a strict, strict calorie intake during those fight scenes, couldn’t have a lick of sodium and hardly any water so he’d look as striated as possible. He looked good, but was probably pretty fucked up physically. Stallone said it best, “When I was shooting Rocky III i had muscle veins in my hair, but I’m in a lot better shape and healthier now.” Or something like that.
October 2nd, 2009 at 7:12 PM

They had a great idea and they haven’t done anything with it for years and years. There’s never consequences for anything that happens. You want to talk about a comedy without any humor.”

/fuck you again fetch for that prediction yesterday
October 2nd, 2009 at 7:16 PM
I think the Sox might win the division next year. Peavy-Danks is a great 1-2, best one in the division. Gordon Beckham is a stud. They have some bats to replace but if they get a 4 and 5 starter who aren’t terrible they’re going to be very good.
October 2nd, 2009 at 7:18 PM
my friends thought because i fought alot i liked it and they knew/know i treat my bros like family so they would start talking and look at me like “you can take that guy right? right?” it stopped after i told them if they get me in another fight i am going to bash their fucking head in. when i turned 18 i kinda realized that if i seriously hurt someone i am going to jail or i am going to run into someone that will be meaner and badder than me and put me in a coma or a box. so i have chilled out a lot

Simmons just compared Barney and Robin getting together with Ross and Rachel getting together. And he’s supposed to be a “pop culture guru.” See, usually I defend Simmons, but in this case, fuck you Bill Simmons.
October 2nd, 2009 at 7:56 PM
They showed Coach Dan’s lockerroom speech on FSNP. He tried to guess how many periods of hockey they play this year, was off by about seventy, not a math guy.

Gilroy made the Rangers right? I’m probably more excited to see him than anyone on the pens, sans Gogo
October 2nd, 2009 at 7:58 PM
Funniest thing about that podcast you’re talking about Taguchi is when the conversation is about like NYPD Blue and Homicide and Simmons just stops him and goes, “you know what show is great?…the first season of Sex in the City”
October 2nd, 2009 at 7:59 PM
gilroy is playing
October 2nd, 2009 at 7:59 PM

October 2nd, 2009 at 8:00 PM
Forgot the rags got Prospal
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:02 PM
I don’t hate either show (I like the first five seasons of Friends and I love How I Met Your Mother) but they are totally different situations. Ross and Rachel was like the crux of the show. I didn’t even realize they were gonna hook Barney and Robin up for sure until early season three (though the Laser Tag episode in season one with them is great). I’m not offended by the opinion, I’m offended by the ignorance (and the willingness to speak on that ignorance).
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:03 PM
So I’m covering two 0-5 Class A(very small) schools and each team is infinitely worse than its record shows. This sucks balls
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:04 PM
My girlfriend is apparently the parallel twin of Simmons wife, because while that was hilarious and inexplicable I have to agree that should Sex and the City be befouling my television I’d prefer it to be a season 1 episode.
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:04 PM
Staal’s first goal was on my birthday three years ago, I won money on that game, it was an OT win. I remember clearly.

You should watch How I met your Mother, and I actually think the fact Barney is gay in real life makes his character even funnier. I can’t help how I feel Tampa Bo.

October 2nd, 2009 at 8:18 PM
I hated Segal on Freaks And Geeks. How I Mey Your Mother actually made me like him (possibly because he’s with Alyson Hannigan on the show and her likability cleans him up). I suspect I’d hate him too without that show.
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:19 PM
the preview where he goes up to that dude and starts screaming at him after he told him to pick up his dog’s poop in i love you man really pushed me over the top. my first reaction would have been to punch him in the mouth.

No doubt, it’s weird to watch it now though because I didn’t like Segal or Rogen on it but I like them now (which I’m sure is an unpopular opinion). Undeclared wasn’t bad either (the Adam Sandler Undeclared is the funniest thing Sandler has done post Billy Madison/Happy Gilmore)
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:36 PM
beef fried rice
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:38 PM
Undeclared was really good. I think it was too real to be a success. No one wants to see a bunch of mostly normal-looking people living college the way most people lived it. They want great looking people doing the things everyone wished they did in college.
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:38 PM
didnt they have enormous dorm rooms on that show
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:39 PM
i like rogen. my animosity toward segel isnt because the “oh they’re so unfunny now” type. i just see him and want to punch him. kinda like when i hear ty pennington speak. i want to make him not speak anymore.
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:40 PM
I think the dorm rooms were modest, iirc. Wasn’t will ferrell a strung out paper seller on that show? i recall watching it at the gym my senior year in high school
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:41 PM
I found Monica Keena to be quite acceptable.
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:44 PM
id give him wedding singer but yeah complete crap after that
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:46 PM
I actually like Wedding Singer, but Undeclared was funnier. Haven’t seen Funny People, but I actually like Sandler in dramatic roles more than comedies at this point (since all the comedies suck). Spanglish and Punch Drunk Love are both worthwhile, and I really liked Love Reign O’er Me.
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:46 PM
Well yeah, when she’s all done up like that. But on the show they mostly made her normal looking. She was supposed to be the cute, sheltered girl.
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:47 PM
And yeah, Ferrell was on undeclared Mole.

The other day when TBL thanked me (twice I found out), he didn’t use any of about 10 epic links in the Round-up. The first one he used was the MJ’s new house post, then the worst cities post at the end of the day.
I think he didn’t see them until after the Round-Up, and felt guilty I loaded him up and didn’t use them

the beard is from 08, hair is from a month ago. i grew out my hair because i couldnt grow out the beard for hockey last season b/c my mom was getting remarried and wanted me clean shaven, so i went seven months without cutting my hair. i cut it labor day weekend
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Why are you guys doing TBL’s job for him anyway?
#1: this is where I hang out, and the only adults I talk to, on an average day. The rest of the time I’m stacking blocks and cleaning asses.
#2: I like the AM roundup, but I don’t like it when it’s full of things I read 4 days ago that are also on HuffPo (or Drudge) already.

October 2nd, 2009 at 9:38 PM
One of the things the democratic congress HAS done is passed new college loan legislation. If you work for ten years in any government job or public interest job (which counts ANY teaching job), your loans are wiped clean after ten years of paying based on your income.
Catch is, on the tenth year, the cancellation counts as taxable income. And they have to be federal loans.
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:38 PM

Being a college professor is great. And with what you make vs. the cost of living in most college towns, you can set yourself up for a pretty nice life. I’m hoping to be there eventually, probably make a pit stop teaching juco for a little bit.

There’s a lot of ways to avoid it if you become a elementary school/secondary school teacher (if your willing to work in shitty, shitty places) but no, I’m going to have to pay them. I just won’t have to pay them until I have a job(s) that pays me just enough to be able to do so, instead of now, when that’s pretty inconceivable.
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:39 PM
i think being a professor means you pay your student loans like 10 years after you started college. if you want to teach hs (at like chicago, dc, south central), there are programs that will pay part of your loan.
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:41 PM
Plus even if you work in a normal job they’ll scale your loan repayments to your income now, which they didn’t do before.
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:41 PM
Interesting mole. I assume you’re still making payments for the ten years, correct?
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:42 PM
I have two friends who work in the St. Louis innercity and they’re loans, should they stay at those places for three years, will cease to exist.

i would love to be a cop with as little time as possible as a patrol cop. i would love to be a detective in a big city.the failed high school football players love pulling people and ruining their day and have no intention on doing anything else but that. yes i know it isnt like on tv shows but i wouldnt mind it

Don’t you have to reduce a NYC salary by like two thirds to compare it to anything else though/
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:52 PM
after 10 years, you prob paid the original loans back and is just paying off interest. it is like getting a company to knock off 1/2 of the credit card debt, but that 1/2 is mainly fees and interest.
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:53 PM
Wait how can a lawyer be overeducated?
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:53 PM
that show is produced by letterman company i think. he aint sayin shit
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:53 PM
No way. You pay the minimal amount basically, most student loans are on a 20-30 year repayment program.
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:54 PM
I think it’s one third, but yeah.
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:54 PM

Mole, 70% of law school graduates don’t earn a high enough salary out of school to justify paying $150k in loans. Most lawyers make about $60k a year, not the $200k that the BigLaw guys make. That’s my definition of over-educated.
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:56 PM
1800 hours of overtime? those cops earned their money
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:56 PM
Oh okay gotcha.
Those 200k guys are suckers anyway, they work 80 hour weeks and will be dead by fifty.
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:56 PM

No way. You pay the minimal amount basically, most student loans are on a 20-30 year repayment program.
it was 20 some years ago, but my wife borrowed $33K for two years of Law School, and it matured into a 10 year repayment of $60K ($500/month for 10 years)
My first condo I bought in Boston right out of college in the mid 80’s had a 12.1 interest rate (30 year fixed)
/yay inflation!
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Perhaps. But I don’t know of many 5th year associates in South Dakota that make $300K+ per year, either.
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Oh hell no Mole, you are destroying me. I’ll be right around a 100K when I finish the master’s next fall.
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Jesus. Thats like a mortgage. I wanted to pay as little interest as possible. My loan will be payed off 7.5 years after I graduated.
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:58 PM
That’s making the minimum payment. These programs make a huge difference, trust me.
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:58 PM
I cannot even fathom… I feel like I would sweat a lot if I had that much debt and was entering this job market.
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:59 PM
my loans will…wait a minute. I dont have loans. Nevermind.
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:59 PM
Whoever drafted Orpik is getting mad PIM points.
I don’t really care about my loans, I’ll pay them off one way or another, I’m not dumb enough to knock someone up or get married while in debt though so I’ll be fine.
October 2nd, 2009 at 10:00 PM
the cops that you linked to worked more hours of overtime than most people work normally in a year.
October 2nd, 2009 at 10:01 PM
Eh, I have no credit card debt (I actually used my student loans to elminate that problem), so I’m not too worried. I’m sad I’m gonna have to move to the middle of nowhere to find a job though.
October 2nd, 2009 at 10:01 PM
all this loan talk is making my penis soft. i guess since i will get paid to go to college i should go since after i graduate i wont be in the shitty position you guys are in.
October 2nd, 2009 at 10:02 PM
I already picked up Goligoski mole, so don’t worry about it.
October 2nd, 2009 at 10:02 PM
You think lawyers making $200k per year are working 40 hours per week?
October 2nd, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Oh come on Mike he qualified that with “most.”

October 2nd, 2009 at 10:05 PM
I wasn’t comparing a cop making $150k/yr to a librarian making $40k/yr.
I was comparing a cop making a similar salary to a 1st year laywer, while both guys work the same amount of hours per week, while only one is $150k is in debt.
October 2nd, 2009 at 10:07 PM
How much career advancement is there for those cops working that overtime? They have to be close to their peak. Those first year big firm lawyers have the potential to make millions a year.

after i got my ms, i only had 17k in loan (which was the unsub one) and paid it off w/in 6 months. i only took the loan cause it was interest free and i wanted to have spending money. turn out i didn’t really need it. i guess it was so cheap because i went to state school for undergrad (which i don’t feel like i should have to tell you where) and then to school in sunny califorina for my masters.

October 2nd, 2009 at 10:12 PM
Oh, for sure. If you go to a T14 or are Top 10% at a decent school, go the lawyer route, you’ll make your money back in no time.
But the majority of law school graduates do NOT get that $160k/yr gig right out of school. They are the ones making $60k/yr, or the same amount as a 3rd year paralegal at a Top 5 NYC firm with reasonable overtime.
October 2nd, 2009 at 10:12 PM

October 2nd, 2009 at 11:26 PM
I was supposed to leave my apartment 20 minutes ago but I’m not. Why? Because I cannot fucking wait for Tony LaRussa’s “I’m gonna be a total asshole about my failures” after game press conference. He sent out Wainwright for the seventh (somewhat inexplicable, though I approve) then took Wainwright out when he gave up two dribblers (very inexplicable) and then he left Kyle McKellan in way, way, way too long when he clearly had shit. Then the Cardinals bullpen managed to give up 11 FUCKING RUNS and ruin Wainwright’s 20th win. In addition, Yadier Molina clearly can barely move, SO WHY THE FUCK IS HE PLAYING INSTEAD OF HEALING FOR THE PLAYOFFS??? But Tony is going to yell at a reporter for asking these questions, and further yell at the fans for mock cheering when an out was finally made in the top of the eighth. Fuck that guy. I’m happy with the product he’s managed, but goddamn fuck him.
