Busch Stadium playing Chelsea Dagger just so that Cards fans can boo that too. Cool :-/

Whoever the jackwagon on ESPN was regarding the Cubs win. "Wow! They really did it with their power." Really? Did I miss something other than the Fowler homerun?

So... maybe we could have called Lackey?

Moz had his swagger on, thinking he had Price in his back pocket.

Maddon has a reliever going with a 4-0 lead. He's always going to be 2 steps ahead of Matheny.

I often wonder if Matheny feels warming up a reliever in a tight game like that is insulting to his pitcher....he had his mind made up that Leake was going to go 7 innings.

Just needs to yank his pitchers before anything goes wrong and win a game in which his team doesn't score and his SS plays defense like a high schooler.

Simple.

Or at least get someone warm?
