i loved the matsui hype. japanese people are in what they consider amazing

In 1992, he drew five consecutive intentional walks in a game at Koshien and became a nationwide topic of conversation. The intentional walks were considered excessive and unsportsmanlike but the strategy worked, as Matsui's team lost. Matsui's reaction to the intentional walks was widely commented upon by the media. "Matsui's stoic, emotionless conduct during those at-bats drew great praise from tournament officials and reporters alike," author Robert Whiting wrote. At the end of the tournament, a representative of the High School Federation declared that "All students should learn from Matsui's attitude."

Shelby Miller pitched GREAT tonight. 7 strikeouts, 1 hit in 6 innings. Even got a double for himself.

Motte has all 42 of the Cardinals saves.

Cardinals ready for Atlanta.

Longoria will be MVP next year

 

[jfkennedy]

Ron Washington has got to be one of the worst in game managers

He's getting a TON of heat for continuing to use Michael Young. He doesn't change lineups at all really, so it isn't even an in-game thing.

 

[The War Report]

Longoria will be MVP next year

When he decides to stay healthy.

Ron Washington has got to be one of the worst in game managers

No one is worse than Jim Tracy.


But anyone who allows their pitcher to bat with the bases loaded & 2 outs in the 6th inning of Game 6 of the World Series despite having two MORE THAN CAPABLE bats (with the platoon advantage) sitting next to him on the bench...is pretty god damn bad.

Don Mattingly is pretty much shyt too. The man is OBSESSED with the sac bunt. Last night's failed sac bunt that was FOLLOWED by the pinch-run-SB was ludicrous.

He has a solid bullpen so why bring in Holland who isn't a reliever into the game?
