Cards at Reds, Biggest Series For Reds Since 1999

[Cody]

Horrid 4th inning.

Horrid 4th inning.

A bunch of little bleeders & a HR by Skip f'n Schumacker.

As a proud owner of both Votto and Pujols, I'll be watching this one intently.

:smughard:

Phillips = dumbass. Nice job waking the sleeping giant.

Hopefully Cueto gets a nice suspension after fighting like a woman.

Again, silly Reds.

LOL@bias

Phillips was minding his own business, and Molina got in his face.

Then, the infamous whiny biatch Carpenter, who everyone in the league can't stand, decides he wants to fight everybody, including Rolen who was making peace.

I love how STL instigates a brawl, and you want CUETO suspended.

LOL@"sleeping giant"...yeah, Brendan Ryan & Skip Schumaker mean business now, look out!

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Btw, I love the bad blood. You don't see enough of this in sports these days, because all these guys are buddies due to free agency etc.

The fans on both sides want to beat the other even more now, which is great.

Molina should have been thrown at in the 8th. I want to see guys knocked down today, both sides were too passive after the brawl. Send a messege and hit someone in the back.

I admit that I'm bias, but come on. You don't go around proclaiming that you hate a team and call them whiny bitches, then try to be all buddy-buddy at game time. Lucky he didn't get knocked out. If a player is going to talk smack like Phillips did, at least back it up. What is he, 1-10 in the series? L-O-L

And did you not watch the brawl? Do you really think that Cueto doesn't deserve a suspension? The guy was kicking people in the face and back with metal cleats on. What a joke that guy is. At least Carpenter went at guys like a man.

The only thing the Reds have proved in this series so far is that they aren't ready for primetime. Hope they have fun missing the playoffs again for the 15th year in a row.

I agree with this. I'm loving this rivalry. Ok, back to arguing.

 

[NAHSTE]

I thought that was awesome. Love the bad blood. Gotta side with my dude Brandon Phillips since he's a Georgia boy. LOL at Chris Carpenter saying Cueto didn't know how to fight, as if he was knocking fools out like Nolan Ryan or Kyle Farnsworth out there.


Also, huge LOL at Molina's attempt at an explanation in that post-game. To call that "broken english" would be generous. Was he arrested at a water park this weekend for having a wet t-shirt?

 

[mcstl25]

At least Yadi didn't have to use a translator for his post game interview like Cueto did. lol

Apparently Cueto has been spending his free time in karate class instead of English class. He's been living in the states for how many years? Learn the freaking language!

There is no official language of the United States. Vlad Guerrero has never learned English either. Can't force a guy to learn a language if he can excel at his profession without it.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Cueto was pinned up against the backstop by half the Cardinal roster, he had every right to defend himself. That's why he wasn't ejected.

 

[Archer]

I'm still laughing at the waking a sleeping giant line

As if the Cards have been coasting all year and now they suddenly decided to play because Cueto kicked somebody.

 

[mcstl25]

Actually, he was pinned up against the backstop by mostly his own players. Regardless, even if he was surrounded by all Cardinal players, does that really justify kicking people in the face with small daggers on your shoes? You're really off your rocker on this one.

 

[NAHSTE]

Dude, he's fucking falling back into a screen with 40 dudes collapsing on him, there's no way to throw a punch without anything to brace yourself on.

I don't condone kicking dudes in the face with spikes, if that's what actually happened, but I can see why he would put his legs up for defense.

Unless you throw a mean right cross while leaning on a mesh net as you get surrounded by 40 people, STFU.

 

[Goober]

The Cardinals are bitch made that's for sure. LOL at this:

I love this, from ESPN’s story on the brawl: “La Russa wasn’t happy with Phillips’ comment and mentioned it to Reds general manager Walt Jocketty, who worked with him in St. Louis.”

Let me translate that for you: “LaRussa wasn’t happy with being called a whiner, so he went and whined to Walt Jocketty.”

Good grief. These idiots can’t help themselves, can they? I don’t commonly use the term Brandon Phillips used, but there really is no better, more descriptive term for the Cardinals, is there?

You guys act like the guy was in the a dark corner of a cave with 40 barbarians coming after him. The point is there was no reason to kick, punch, bite or anything. It's not like they were in some huge brawl, it was for the most part a bunch of pushing and arguing. There were at least 10 other players pinned up against the wall that somehow managed to survive the apparently life threatening situation they were in.

And you clearly did not see event, because there is a difference between "putting his legs up in defense" and kicking people as hard as you can. Ask Jason Larue's face.

Chris Carpenter's a punk. First he flips on Brendan Ryan, just fucking pitch asswipe. You have a Cy Young, that's awesome, now keep pitching like one.

Then obviously he said something so incendiary that he pissed off Scott Freaking Rolen! I don't think in all his years in Philly, Rolen ever flipped like that about anything. Hell, that was his biggest criticism in the Philly media, amongst fans and from Larry Bowa(then manager)

It takes a lot for Rolen to go off, and obviously Carpenter said something to release the anger from a giant of a man.

Screw Carpenter.

 

[Blade]

Also whoever said Carpenter was going at it like man is full of shit. The dude whines about some guy's glove one day, gives up a hit and he blames the SS. He then follows that up by being late to the party in the brawl, hangs on the perimeter of the fight and says something so incendiary and despicable that he pisses off one of the most mild mannered, even keeled and respected players in the game.

I was so wishing that Rolen would rip his fucking head off.

 

[mcstl25]

Rolen and Carpenter are good friends - their scrum was more like two brothers going at it. Carpenter probably knew which button to push. Rolen should consider himself lucky that Carpenter didn't take the same karate class as Cueto.

A lot of Cardinal hate on this forum. I never knew. Lovin it since usually all I have to talk about are the shitty Rams.
