With all of the beanballs in baseball right now, you're going to pick on the Cardinals for this one?

It feels to me like the Cardinals don't get involved with plunking wars too often. Sure, they get into other battles with Brandon Phillips, T Plush, et al.

Honestly I'm not certain why the Cubs were pissy about Molina's "hard slide". He went directly at the plate and went feet first. How else was he supposed to slide or otherwise cross the plate? Should he have just given up because the pitcher has no idea how to position himself for a tag at the plate?

Well you're right, they don't get into plunking wars, but maybe if the other team did something that the Cardinals don't like then they would hit them. But that's just what I think.

The other team does stuff the Cardinals don't like all the time. Plunkings are few, and beanballs are non-existant. So as MLB teams go, this seems like an odd gripe to have for the Cardinals. Matheny had his career ended because of concussions--he will never promote beanballs as retaliation.

Can you elaborate for us how you might attempt to make someone feel bad for being a Cardinals fan? I'm not sure that's possible.

Well I have to say that I like Matheny a lot more then Larussa, that is one of the things that I like about the Cardinals now a days.

That's probably the best point you've made on this board.
