He showed up big time. Got better as the game went along. Big balls performance tonight. Too bad Matheny ****ed his effort.

Not technically a sweep but that's the first time they lost 3 games in a row to an opponent at home or away this season.

I see the Post-dispatch website is broken.
I'm sure they are melting down. |

Bouchy yanked his closer who hasn't gave up a run in a whole month to bring in his best matchup. No ****ing way Matheny pulls Rosenthal is the same situation.

Yeah, but the pieces have to fall in place.
We have seen the best versions of Adam Wainwright and Yadi Molina. Peralta is not going to put up 5.6 WAR next year, and Holliday has begun his decline curve. On top of that, Jon Jay just had a career year. Let us not forget that John Mabry is still the hitting coach and Matheny the manager. Even if Adams were to morph into a 35 HR behemoth and Oscar look like Vlad Guerrero, Matheny proved this week that he can **** up any situation. He is the Sword of Damocles that hangs over every season.

I have no faith that Jay will repeat a .300 season. His arm is weak. His trade value is as high as it will ever be. He is one of Matheny's guys. We should trade all them except for Molina until he gets the ****ing message that its about the team, not individual players.

Look at the Rangers:
They get to the Series in 2010 and 2011. They have Hamilton, Napoli, Beltre, Kinsler, Andrus, and Nelson Cruz. On top of that, they had the #1 prospect in baseball (Profar) and a CIF who was killing the ball and cruising through their system. They didn't win either won and haven't won a PO game since. They were the worst team in baseball this year. Now, Olt is a Cub who looks like Rob Deer and Profar had one of the worst rookie seasons imaginable before blowing his shoulder out this year.

For every declining Holliday/peralta there is a rising Adams/Wong/Taveras.
