Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned baseball season. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm relief pitcher emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the Happiest 4th of July weekend since Adam Wainwright struck out Brandon [expletive] Inge. And when LaRussa finally decides to change pitchers, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of [expletive] this side of the Mississippi.
I don't know. I'm kinda confused about which side of the Mississippi will have the jolly bunch of [expletive]. I guess that makes sense, since apparently Clark had some problems with what side of the Mississippi he was on when he visited St. Louis.
The "hard nine" propaganda grated on me when they started using it a few years ago. It gets even more annoying when the manager pretty clearly gives up on a game in the third inning or so.
