Did Weiss bring in the infield with Adams at the plate?

Good baserunning by Jay.

Brewer Amy is the only good thing about the cesspool in Milwaukee.

The sausage race is OK. I think they thought of it, so at least it's original.

Despite all the self-congratulatory bullshit the Cardinals uttered about Lynn's weight loss last year, Fat Lance is a better pitcher than Skinny Lance.

Home runs seem to be an efficient way to score runs. We should try that more often.

It is so easy it is almost like cheating

I hope there's someone in the Cardinals dugout saying "You can never score enough runs in this ballpark."
Especially when they start using the non-humidor balls in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Franklin L(3-1) 0.1 6 6 6 0 0 2 7

That was the game, come hell or high water, Franklin was going to finish.

 

That game left a worse imprint on my brain than 8th grade algebra.

That game summed up the 2010 season pretty well.

Wasn't that the year the Reds went something like 30-1 in August? Not even the return of Aaron Miles could have saved that team.
 

Also, it's amazing that La Russa came back in 2011 after that season. Just to illustrate what a bunch of underacheivers they were, the Cardinals went 18-27 against the Brewers, Astros and Cubs, winners of 77, 76 and 75 games respectively.

Correct. The Cardinals handed Janey her ass that night, too.

I just watched that video. I don't know who is doing color commentary for the Reds, but he said "if Chris Carpenter isn't whining about players on other teams, he's whining about his own players" a reference to Carpenter scolding Brendan Ryan the night before.

I forgot just how unprofessional the entire Reds organization is, down its own broadcast team.

Without even hearing the broadcast, that would be Thom Brennaman. He HATED Carpenter. Remember the whole fireworks issue, when Brennaman complained about Carpenter "complaining incessantly?" It turned out Carpenter never complained about the fireworks. And he still blames Molina for starting the fight.
