GO DODGERS!

Cheering for the Dodgers, but I'm gonna guess Cardinals take this in 4. Randy Wolf starting game 1? The Dodgers remind me of the Cubs last year. They have a lot of good starting pitching, but no dominant ace you can count on. The Cardinals unfortunately have 2. The Dodgers have a lot of good hitting, but with Manny not as strong as last year's Manny they don't have one hitter that you fear greatly. I guess you could argue Manny is that hitter now that I think about it, but I still don't think he strikes as much fear as he did last year.

I think the Cards will win as well, doesn't mean I won't enjoy cheering against them.

 

And Randy Wolf starting Game 1 makes me kinda sad.

You guys talking about Randy Wolf starting game 1 realize he has and ERA of 3.23 and a WHIP of 1.10 this year right? He also has a BAA of .227. Outside of 1 month this season Randy Wolf has been 1 of the best starting pitchers in the NL.

Eh, so was Dempster last year.

[TruffleShuffle]

yeah it's amazing what a .256 BABIP will do for one's numbers.

 

power pitching is (on average) more successful in the playoffs than soft tossers, and randy wolf is most certainly not a power pitcher. if i'm having a pitcher go twice in this series i sure as hell do not want it to be randy wolf. kershaw and billingsley are both better pitchers than wolf, but alas they are not crafty veterans.

Go Cardinals!

Manny is by far the lesser of two evils here and it's not close.

I believe the Cardinal bullpen is going to cost them, despite their great seaon I still don't its quality.

[Derwood]

The announcing team is Dick Stockton and Bob Brenley. FTH?

[SouthSideRyan]

Wonder how much Brenly will talk about Milton Bradley.

[DuCross Brothers]

the Dodgers already throw themselves into a whole and then in game 3 they think Padilla has a shot at winning that game...I say that game he will get lit up. With that said Carpenter pitches a shut up for game 1 and it will lead to a sweep.

[Sammy Sofa]

Carpenter pitches a shut up

 

How the hell does that work?

[MWV]

WOOOOOOLLFFF!!!

 

 

 

Ok, I'm done.

[J.R.]

I want to leave the sound on for Brenley. I want to hit mute because of Stockton.

[A-Cal]

bring it home DERO!!!

[Andy]

Putting the first 3 guys on. Fantastic.

[ELCABALLO45]

Shut up Holliday

[MWV]

Can I get a double play ball?

Can I get a double play ball?

Better late than never.

[ELCABALLO45]

BOOM Matt Kemp

[MWV]

The prospect of a Carpenter meltdown is making me giddy. So much schadenfreude...

[Guest]

Is there any way both teams can be swept? :evil:

[Derwood]

SUCK IT CARDINALS

[BCVM22]

So much schadenfreude...

 

I am hoping for copious amounts of schadenfreude in this series. Mountains of it.
