It's nice to see there's some guys on this team still trying.
I know we like to break baseball down to a numbers game, but makeup counts for something too. There's a large portion of guys on this team who just don't give a **** right now. Lackey staring down Francona after getting ******* shelled last night was about as gutless as it gets.

I still think we are gonna fall a game or two short of the playoffs. But even if thats the case, I am gonna do something I rarely do, a positive rant about one of my teams, a positive rant about Tony LaRussa, and a post showing pride in my team.
In a season that the pundints, analysts, etc. have pretty much buried us six times. Hell, I buried us in August. But so many teams when they get 10 games out pack up their **** and go home. We said no, we have not done that and played the game the right way.
There is no chance we catch the Brewers, the NL Central is all bit over. Their magic number is 3. Their lead hasn't gone under 5.5 games in the longest time. There was a time in there that it seemed like the teams above us could not lose. It was pretty much cuz they weren't losing. And that could get a team down. But we have not let down.
We're 2.5 games out of the wild card. I didn't even know we were in that race a week ago, but its down to 2.5. Sure, thats with a lot of help from the Braves' unexpected struggles. However, what this post is basically saying is touche Mr. LaRussa. To ******* che.
Yes, I still hate your micromanaging to death. U know, bringing a left handed specialist in to face any left hand whether its Prince Fielder or its Will Venable. Yes, I hate ur smug attitude at times and all. U know it seems like at times ur all uptight and ****. But I've seen him smile the last two nights. I don't see LaRussa smile often, and its ugly. I think whenever LaRussa smiles, it scares children. But it seems like lately he has relaxed so to speak.
Supporting cast, starting pitching, bullpen, they've all been great in this stretch. This is basically anyone not named Albert Pujols.
And to Albert, ur having a down season apparently. Ur not in the MVP race. U have 36 home runs, a .304 batting average, and 97 RBIs. This is a down season...smh. U are the world's greatest. Whatever happens in the offseason will happen. If u go somewhere else, I will cry myself to sleep and jack off 5 times to get over it, but I'll move on. But please man, please stay.
And even tho I think we will fall short, it would be awesome if we did. And oh yeah, we're the only NL team with a winning record against the Phillies at 6-3. I know this is regular season and we were 8-1 against the Dodgers a couple years ago, but they swept us in the NLDS. But no other NL team has a winning record. I don't care when we played them, who pitched against us. They are damn good team whenever they are out there and thats why we should be proud that we are the only winning team against them in NL. Holy ****, my beams of positivity is just scary. I need to go watch an angry porno or something.

If not making the playoffs will somehow get rid of those people, I'm OK with it.
As much as I want to make the playoffs I don't know if I could stand to see us get our **** packed in in the first series.

Well, we still have Lester and Beckett going the first two games. Bedard matches up OK with someone elses 3, but we would need a lot of offense to be sure. But yeah, pitching is still a concern. We're also just flat out playing like ****. 20 errors in the month of September, many of which in key situations that led to runs.

Someone please stop me from going to kill some random guy at Real Clear Sports for making this list: http://www.realclearsports.com/lists...ching_seasons/ and having Pedro's 2000 season instead of his 1999 season and only having that ranked 7th.
