After the Cubs destroyed the Cardinals, 17-5, for what will most likely be the highlight of the Cub’s season; I was asked by a Cub fan friend what I thought about the Cards beaning Cub pitcher Travis Wood to lead off the 6th inning.  Here was my reply:

Well I didn’t see him actually get plunked but saw his two HBP. His first HBP was clearly not intentional if I remember correctly it was a breaking ball? Honestly, I think it was pure frustration for our shitty performance…not retaliation.

Matheny is a terrible strategist so he probably didn’t see anything wrong with putting more runners on base anyways!

We continued to discuss my thoughts on Matheny as Cardinal’s manager. I’ll be sure to post more of those thoughts later.
