I've seen nothing different from this offense tonight
Other than a little more patience at the plate, same terrible situational hitting. The Cardinals bailed us out one inning with bad defense but its more useless Derek lee and company. They are tempting fate again leaving so many runners on base.

He never posts when they do good things.
He only posts when they don’t do as well as he thinks they should. It gets old.
that's a load of crap
Why don’t you look back at my posts and you will see how wrong you are. I have been highly effusive of the entire pitching staff, have never bashed Lou as so many do on this board, and only take issue with the offense – Dome in particular.
And as for “showing up when we play badly?” We are winning. What qualifies as showing up when we don’t play badly? When we are winning 20-0? Perhaps you read the posts you want ot read.

I can guarantee you that Hendry + Lee are not.
Lee is not on par with his career numbers- his slugging is way down. And his defense is fading, too. He’s having a very bad year – a horrific year since April/May.
Actually he has 4 in the last 7....
And…what’s not to complain about the last 1o days?
The best defense is a good offense
Best team in the NL.
First place.
That’s what I’m satisfied with. It’s a team sport.

Lilly just tried to bowl him over. Nothing phenomenal if it was a position player, but pretty fearless for a starter. Looked ‘tougher’ cuz Molina was writhing around for a minute afterward.
I hope the Cubs will look at Lilly's collison (this season)
like they did with Lou’s ejection last season.

give me a break
how about reading my posts rather than making generalizations. You will find many positive comments about the pitching staff and Pinella. Whatever, I’m done posting here. I think my insights – while admittedly skewing negative – are accurate for the most part, but apparently it is sunshine pumpers allowed only here, so best of luck to the posters who pushed me out. I thought that unless you insult other posters would you run into issues, but apparently making factual statements about the team is enough to be attacked. Best of luck with rest of season.

instead of leaving the job to Lilly and the bullpen. Plus, that ain’t Cy Young and Warren Spahn coming in from the STL bullpen!!! They are the worst at holding a lead in baseball!!

This is getting pathetic. Our pitching has been absolutely phenomenal, and certain players have completely disappeared.
Most of them are better than this. Lee…. I hope is better than this.
If they can hold on to a playoff berth, our pitching looks like it could do some good in the postseason.
True, the whole key to our order is the 6-7-8 of soto, derosa, dome

That is completely Lilly's doing.
An “average” performance from our starter – even a “good” performance, and we’d be trailing – especially without the gift runs from the Cardinals.

Well they still capitalized when they were given opportunities.

We've scored in 1 inning.
We’ve advanced runners with sac bunts, only to see doubleplays and consecutive strikeouts.
