Biggio ....
« on: October 18, 2005, 11:24:42 am »
should have been on the field.  I know, I know, Bruntlett is a defensive replacement (please don't argue the merit of Bruntlett on the field), but if we had won,  Biggio would have had to run in from the dugout instead of winning it on the field.  With what he means to this city and this team, I would have thought he would have stayed until the last out.

Good call.  Let's put Bagwell out on the field, too.  And maybe we can have Cheo coaching first for the Cards.

Maybe in a 10-2 game, but I want Bruntlett for a 4-2 game. Too much at stake to play with sentimentality.

As I recall, that's why the Red Sox went with Buckner.

Did you notice that while everybody else in the dugout was jumping up and down with two outs, Bidge was sitting there stoically staring at the field.  He knew it wasn't over, and he knows there's still a job to do.

Fuck 'em in the ear.  Win it in St. Louis so they can go out with ANOTHER loss in that piece of shit cookie-cutter stadium.

If we are up 10-2 in the 9th inning in game 6 or game 7 then craig biggio and jeff bagwell better damn well be on the field.  In a competitive environment then no- that should not be the case.

 You have got to be kidding.

Actually, they went with Buckner for "defensive purposes".  Irony is so ironic.

I thought it was the other way around?

Didn't they have a 1B that came in late for defensive purposes that they didn't bring in in that specific game?

Popular misconception.  Oh sure, it may have happened from time to time, but there is this notion out there that the Red Sox regularly too Buckner out of the game because he was terrible defensively.  Not so.
