“I’d play against these guys with one leg. We have to beat these guys. I hate the Cardinals.” - Brandon Phillips, 2010
This is what’s missing from the Game. Tony and Dusty Baker were ready throw fists at each other…..Yadi fighting Phillips
This is what made baseball entertaining. These teams really hated each other and cared…..it showed on the field.
Go back to Gibson…..this was drama and brought fans in.
This game has turned into a boring robotic unentertaining snooze fest.
Will Clark/Jeffery Leonard Giants
Pond Scum Mets
Anywhere Dusty Baker was coaching
LaRussa, Baker, Cox, Whitey, Davey Johnson, Lasorda,
Managers were sometimes bigger than the team……fans probably don’t even know the names of most MLB teams managers today
Great SP matchups are mostly a thing of past with starters crawling out of games by the 5th inning
