Not sure why Jesse Rogers is so invested in making Mike Matheny seem like the good guy in this, but ok.

QuoteMike Matheny mostly took the high road

QuoteMatheny wouldn't respond to the Cubs' accusations

QuoteMatheny didn't take the bait Saturday, despite Maddon's volatile language

QuoteMatheny didn't want to speculate why Maddon went off

QuoteMatheny added: "We have a lot going on right now as far as the excitement of September baseball. A lot of times spending too much time with this, I believe, is a distraction from what we need to do."

I think I figured it out: Jesse doesn't watch the games.

Didn't Whitey Herzog once say, "We'll stop trying to score runs when the other team promises to stop trying to score runs."? Or something to that effect. I'll leave it to CT to let me know if that's irony.

Nope.

Also, to whoever it was a few pages back that mentioned that Schwarber was fair game to throw at in the dugout, thanks for reminding me that Ben Christensen was once a thing.

Looks like The Best Catcher Ever might go on the shelf for a while.

Maybe you meant to link this.

The Cardinals may have a serious injury on their hands.

Catcher Yadier Molina was diagnosed with a slight tear in a ligament in his left thumb on Monday, and he will be re-evaluated in five to seven days. Molina, a seven-time All-Star, played in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Cubs and was injured while making a swipe tag at the plate in the eighth inning.
An MRI revealed the severity of the injury, and Molina will undergo another test in five to seven days to determine whether he'll be available to the Cardinals in the postseason.

The Cardinals also got news about veteran starter Adam Wainwright on Monday. Wainwright, who tore his left Achilles tendon in April, has been cleared for baseball activities and will pitch a simulated game by the end of the week. Wainwright could potentially return to the bullpen in time for the playoffs.

I hope Wainwright comes back for the playoffs as a pants-shitting trainwreck. Voodoo magick can't last forever, can it?

Carlos Martinez leaves game after seven pitches, will undergo MRI.  All part of Saint Oscar's plan.

Cardinals announce Martinez out for the remainder of the season, which means he'll start Game 1 of the NLDS.

I'm actually a bit sorry about this, I think.  Martinez is the Tards' Zambrano - pretty much guaranteed to HEAD ASPLODE in the playoffs.

The funny thing about this is Zambrano generally played against type and kept his cool in the playoffs.  In '07 it was Ted Lilly--not Big Z--who demonstrably lost his shit and in '08 Carlos kept it together when he would've been somewhat justified in going bonkers--after his whole fucking infield took a collective tub-shitting behind him. I know he didn't fare well in 2003 but I don't recall him losing his shit like he had so many times in regular season games.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

I wouldn't spend too much time breaking down yet another example of Tonker and his people being racist.  They're renowned for their intolerance.
