These dugout interviews are pointless.  Every player's more tight lipped than Bill Belichick about what he did or does to win.  Is there an intense charm to them that I'm completely missing?
At least they backed off from Verlander. Another benefit from Celebgate.

Peavy works the side-to-side plan very well. His command of the lower arm slot has finally recovered.
 
 
edit: ruh roh. Never mind.

I am sick of hearing Joe Buck have an orgasm whenever anything positive happens to hs beloved Cardinals. For that matter I will never tire of hearing Joe Buck be sad when the Cardinals fail.

Yet another reason to hate the Cardinals, and be grateful to the 2004 and 2014 Red Sox.

The Cardinals don't get the hate? It starts with Joe Buck.

Erm, make that the 2013 Red Sox. Although I still like the 2014 Red Sox more than the Cardinals.

According to Buck, the Cardinals never, ever do anything wrong. When thy make outs, they are HARD outs. When the make a mistake, they really don't.

Buck Showalter and Joe Buck. Both are sanctimonious assholes. The only Bucks I like are Buck Buchannan and Buck from "Call of the Wild."

Joe Buck doesn't bother me too much. I think he's just doing his job, which is "talk up everything that's on the field in October"
His voice goes up all kind of happiness levels when something goes well for the Cards, though. And gets really sad when it doesn't. It is blatant.

"He ripped it." A foul ball. "You are behind in games, but the dugout is alive." He is at Michael Kay levels.

I do remember on Bellhorn's HR in game 6 of the 2004 ALCS: "into the corner, big trouble...". I'll agree that doesn't sound biased ;)

I want to see a version of the "stayed at dave's" commercial where the guy is so hung over he tells the dog: "Bark and I will shoot you"
 
Or the dog has shit and peed on the couch, since no one took him out overnight

Yeah, a similar one I remember was the year before in the world series when Alex Gonzalez (I think) hit a game winning homer and Buck's call was something like ". . that could be trouble!  Deep down the line!"   and I was wondering, trouble?!  Trouble?!  It's a thunderclap of joyous justice.  Trouble?!

I like how they don't show the massive "fuck you" dump Buster took on the white linen sofa.

Congratulations folks, you are all part of playoff baseball history. This is the first time I'm testing a telescope mirror while watching a game.
 
Tell your grandkids.
