No doubt the Cardinals came back to try and hit Rizzo.

"I'm really disappointed in what the Cardinals did right there," Maddon said after the game. "We did not hit their guy on purpose. That was an absolute mistake.

"To become this vigilante group that wants to get their own pound of flesh, that's absolutely insane, ridiculous and wrong. We don't start stuff, but we will stop stuff."

Haren hit Holliday in the head, but I dont think anyone thought it was intentional, but Haren warned Rizzo after he hit Holliday.

Having played for the Cardinals in 2003-04, Haren knew exactly what was coming, and told Rizzo as much, apologizing for what he figured was about to happen.

"I apologized to Rizzo [right] after I hit Holliday," Haren said. "I said, 'Sorry you got hit.'"

Maddon also said he was upset by the way the Cardinals defended his team in the late stages of the game. He indicated that if the Cardinals play behind Cubs runners, they'll continue to steal bases no matter how big a lead they have.

"I never read this book the Cardinals wrote way back in the day regarding how to play baseball," Maddon said, fuming. "You can take that book and read it yourself because I don't give a crap about that book. I want everyone there to understand we don't start stuff but we stop stuff."

In general I see Maddon caring more about everything. He gets visibly pissed when relievers suck, pinch hitters dont make contact, etc.

I would say this is his style. He lets it roll off his back and starts whipping the horse as we come down the stretch.

Great manager. Great leader. No sarcasm.

Let's hammer back some shots of vodka and go kick the shit out of some Cardinals fans. I'll be over in an hour.

You, me, and Scorehead. Let's get it done.

Scorehead has to supply the vodka though since he makes the most money.

wtf

1. Hawk isn't managing a team.
2. Hawk says the opposite every time they lose.......if he says anything at all. He is all about "revenge" and playing the game by the dumbass unwritten rules. That he makes up as he goes. Just like the Cardinals.

When you say it "ALL THE TIME" and You are the announcer, He is an assbag!

When you are announcer and you go to confront a player on another team about it, it makes you as assbag of immense proportions...once again, YOU ARE THE ANNOUNCER!!!!!!

Let me highlight it again..."ALL THE TIME"

...and if I need to explain the rest, then I guess you really think Hawk has been the voice of reason for years and years, especially during his 1 year stint as GM, which I am not even sure some people know about.

Only one thing worse than Hawk talking about the need to "retribute", Farmer tough guying up. Farmer has body parts missing and he rarely even shakes peoples hands because if he starts bleeding he might not stop and die, but that might not be the guy who should be calling people out. ?

Did anyone ask General Maddon why he let La Stella see LHP with the bags jammed and Bryant on the bench in the 4th BUT 2 innings later in the 6th he decided to PH for LaStella with Bryant with just one man on?
