1. dirkBy the way, LaRussa acts like pitchers never show frustration with themselves when a batter hits a long HR. On many occasions, a pitcher will yell in frustration when a obvious no-doubt HR comes off the bat of the hitter.

and that little tantrum carp threw screwed up his concentration and cost him the game. he only threw 1 good pitch to pence and the one pence hit out was high, unmoving and down the middle
i like that TLR backs every one of his own guys to the death to the media - but this time, he shoulda told carp (in private) to like, say something not, um, uh, stoopid
Well, routinely now,
hitters pop up a pitch they think they should deal withpitchers like Eck strike out the #9 hitter and they start making noises, and that really is disrespectful to thepitcherhitter. Most of thepitchershitters just turn around and ignore it. . . Respect should go both ways.How about the fact that your team is very close to having lost 8 out of the last 9, mostly against the Astros and Pirates, and only three teams in the NL---those same two and the Padres---are scoring fewer runs per game?
Right. The problem is that we're lousy right now. Shut up and win some games.
Greg Maddux was of course notorious for his echoing F-bombs whenever anything whatsoever went wrong.
Further proof that Greg Maddux was awesome.
I have never seen a batter say 'tits'.
It happens all the time. Watch when they're muttering away while in their batting stance. They're asking the catcher if he's seen any nice sets of tits in the crowd.

Well, that's usually not the moment for a lovely snack from the fine people at Nabisco. Try the new chipotle!
It's OK for a pitcher to drill a guy in the ribs when he gives up a bomb or dance and fist pump like a moron following a strike out. But a hitter can't a) walk across the mound, b) get mad at himself for missing a meaty pitch c) bunt to break up a no hitter or perfect game when their team is only down a couple of runs.
This is all further evidence that pitchers are an assortment of quivering d-bags.
Except Mariano Rivera.
1 out, runners on first and second, Cardinals trail 1-0
Carpenter retires cleanup hitter on popup
Carpenter objects to the manner of the cleanup hitter making his out, creates on field confrontation
Carpenter allows three run homer to next batter
Yep, that'll teach the hitters to be quiet. You definitely don't want to get Carpenter upset.

A question for those who follow the Cards - do his teammates realize how perfect it is to give a constant complainer the nickname Carp?

It would be great if the box scores or gamecasts actually read like this.
bingo.
Too bad it was Pence and not Bret Boone. No one could flip a bat better than Boone.
Nominations for other home run exclamation points that would have been appropriate in that spot?
Roberto Alomar off of Dennis Eckersley, in the 1992 ALCS. It'd have two nice links, since Carpenter is a former Jay, and La Russa was the ######### manager of that Oakland team.
Riding a Clydesdale around the basepaths while showering the infielders with warm Bud?
We'll only know for sure when Carpenter is found asleep at a traffic light.
That they call the Not Serene
"_____ ______ draws ire of Carpenter."
Dissing Chris Carpenter just isn't the def, chill, fresh thing to do.
And I say this as a Cardinals fan.
The best story I can remember in this vein was one Alvin Dark told on himself. While batting for the Giants one afternoon in the 1950s, Dark was thrown an incredibly meaty pitch to hit, at which he swung full force...only to hit a very weak pop-up. Furious at himself for having wasted such a wonderful hitting opportunity, Dark put his Southern temper on full display, slamming his bat on home plate so hard that he broke it in two (keep in mind that this required some force, as we're not talking about the whip handled bats that are commonly used today). But this game was at the Polo Grounds, where the upper deck overhang down the lines in left and right were only about two hundred fifty feet away from home plate. Dark's popup had just enough lift to it, and the breeze that day had just enough force to it, that the next thing you knew, to the amusement of most everyone in the park, there was Dark, cursing and stomping in the batter's box, holding onto the handle of the bat that he had just smashed in two, furious beyond description at himself, all for having hit a homerun.

Last year, or two years ago, TLR had a "moment" in which he couldn't remember Chris Perez's name at a press conference. Calling him "young pitcher", as in "uh, young pitcher pitched well, too" earned him the nickname. Given that Garcia is a Young Pitcher for the cardinals, I can see how easy it would be to make that mistake.
Anyway, as a STL fan, I have been very embarrassed by both Albert and Carpenter's actions on the field this year.
What did Pujols do? I don't have a chance to see many NL games, and I don't remember reading anything about it here. I thought he was typically the classiest of class acts?
