LaRussa used his entire bench and now he has no pinch-hitters for the bottom of the 10th. That's what happens when you over-manage.
La Russa is a very smart baseball guy, but let's be honest:Quote

There is no luck in baseball.
There may be bad calls and there may be mistakes...
but there is no luck.
The pitcher pitches, the batters bat...
There is no luck. Not like in some sports
where there is a lucky bounce, or something.
Larusa set this up when the had Freese in the line up, when he said, whatever the heck he says, to those guys to make them motivated to play the way they have been playing since mid August. They have been coming back since then.
btw- I am no red birds fan, I just call it like I see it... and I am no Texas fan either, I just love MLB Baseball, one of the last honest sports left.

Yeah, there is no luck in baseball. As far as larusa, I didnt call him a wizard or anything... I dont even like that SOB. I just said he knows how/what to say to millionaire baseball players to motivate them to perform. I very much agree about that warning track mistake.
anyway....
The bookies are picking the red birds as slight favorites tonight, probably because of Carpenter pitching for stlouie plus the home field advantage..... we will see.
I dont know which team will do it, but I predict a blow out by one of the teams. My crystal ball says one team will be up 5 runs by the 7th inning... and pull ahead from there.
90 minutes to go.... FOR ALL THE MARBLES!!!! 162 regular season games, plus 10+ post season games, and it all comes down to one game for the Championship. It dosent get any better than this.
Nice, that is the idea.Quote

not particularly in love with baseball anymore, like back in the salad days,
but Max, your inning by inning of game 6 was great fun to read, about an hour after
the game ended, without knowing what had happened.

Guy on the Cardinals spells his name Theriot, and pronounces it "Terry-O". You gotta know all his friends call him "The Riot".
You are very welcome, it is my pleasureQuote

MKC, I just want to thank you for providing my ENTIRE coverage of the 2011 WS (except for a brief watch at a friends when the no hitter was going last weekend). I don't have a TV anymore and haven't followed the game for the last 5-6 years. So thank you for providing us w/ a spirited enthusiastic week+ of coverage. I now might even try to tune it in on internet radio somehow (don't have cable/siriusxm etc) or the mlb site for the last few innings, thanks to yours and your thread participants' enthusiasm. Have a great game you guys, sounds like it already started pretty hot!

Must have a good lineage of highly developed knees in that family tree....
