The Cardinals are really good. I'm not going to be bitter about this. Oh well, go get 'em tomorrow boys.

[Rob]

That gives me the feeling a sweep is coming.

[SeriesFinale]

I'm bitter; I really hate these Cardinals, the organization, and even a good chunk of their fans.

 

Nice town though (no blue font).

I'm with Rev when it comes to the Cards. NL playoffs wil be very easy for me to have a rooting interest. Dodgers and wildcard yes, Phils and Cards, no.

I just looked it up, Kendall has only 17 XBH? How is that even possible? Yeah I know he is terrible but... 17?

You can make Sure we see the Highlights on espn.

Another night where the offense did enough to win. So, so frustrating.

Any reason why Escobar didn't come in to pinch run for Lopez in the ninth? I guess even the Cardinals announcers were questioning the non move by Macha. Escobar is fast, can steal put the tying run on second, Lopes is slowed by a leg problem and honestly the Brewers are playing for nothing more than pride at this point so why not? Oh, that's right, Escobar is young and probably can't handle the pressure or you don't want to show up Hardy by having a guy who plays the same position showcase his talents in a key spot. Macha has really really worn on me even worse than Yost.

Actually, I think it was because we wouldn't have had anyone to play second if we were to tie or take the lead, because cc already pinch hit and if you move McGehee to second, you have no one to play third. The only option would be something that I would only want considered in extreme emergencies, like injury, where say Braun moves to third and Bourgeois takes his spot in the outfield or you put an inexperienced Hardy or Escobar at second or third. I was also trying to figure out a way to get Escobar in there to pinch run and these were the only ways I could come up with and thought we would be better off just having Lopez stay in the game.
