Carpenter admits he lied

Better late than never, I guess, but not as good as 'fessing up promptly rather than letting the media have a couple of field days vs. Nyjer. (Not that Nyjer is blameless.)

 

Also, see my signature. I may have to hang onto it until Carpenter retires.

Remember: the Brewers never panic like you do.

Morgan and others with the Nationals said the genesis of their issue in that game had to do with Carpenter and his inside pitches.

 

No, that is impossible. We all know TLR's feelings on inside pitches.

 

On Friday, Carpenter pulled a reporter from The Post-Dispatch and a reporter from MLB.com aside to clarify his explanation.

 

Preferring not to talk about it again or put the incident back in the headlines, Carpenter said he didn't want to "come across as a liar" because of the confusion.

 

I'm confused. If he didn't want to talk about it again, why seek out two reporters to do exactly that?

 

We're not worried about what Albert is thinking.

 

I'm sure Carpenter explained it to him. Seriously, though, what was the point of Albert charging across the mound? Morgan was walking away, Carpenter was walking away. Albert's actions where what cleared the bench.

They've been told they were the Rolls Royce of baseball for so long, thy believe their own mythos. I don't excuse Morgan for flying off the handle, but you have to suspect that some of this [expletive deleted] is designed to light his fuse a bit and make the sanctimonious turds' halos look a bit shinier.

I am not a liar is right up there with I am not a crook.

 

I think everyone is on to the Cards and understands there's a reason they're the most hated team in baseball. Except the umps maybe. Why is it that Carpenter starts it, Pujols escalates it and Morgan is the one thrown out? I'm getting a new understanding of this Driving While Black thing.

I know a lot of people here don't like baseball brawls and all the other shenanigans but how awesome would it have been for Morgan to channel his former hockey player persona (T. Plushinski?) and pull Alberta's jersey over his head and pummel him.
I'd be willing to bet that Nyjer would beat Pujols like a rented mule, and I would love every minute of it.

TLR's normal mindgames didn't work, so they found another way to get in the Brewers' heads. Classy, as ever.
