NLDS: LA Dodgers eliminate St Louis Cardinals 3-0

[Outshined_One]

Bob Brenly just talked about grand slam range. :-k

[Outshined_One]

hahahahahaha

[TruffleShuffle]

since when do you run to third base on a ground ball to the right side of the shortstop? the cardinals are playing terribly.

[Derwood]

The fact that they were shut out by Padilla makes this especially awesome

[Outshined_One]

No longer a shutout, but still good to see the Dodgers up and the fans filing out.

[MWV]

2 outs to go...

They are in a hurry to get to their tractors and beat the rush hour traffic.

[genbar]

That shot of the red-clad 45 year olds shoving each other in full-on fratboy mannerisms totally made my night

[MWV]

I was really hoping Molina would try to take 3rd again.

[E.J.]

The curse of DeRosa? 3 playoff appearances in the past 3 years. All resulting in being swept.

[MWV]

Awesome.

[SouthSideRyan]

Mmmmmmmmmm Cardinal tears.

[TruffleShuffle]

\:D/

 

thank you dodgers!

[MWV]

Ankiel's (likely) final AB as a Cardinal is a 3-pitch, season-ending K. Fitting end to that fairytale...

[Omar]

Mmmmmmmmmm Cardinal tears.

Nice to see "The World's Greatest Fans" abandoning their team in the eight inning.

 

Only two years until Pujols becomes a free agent and bolts to the Yankees.

[BCVM22]

Nice to know I can enjoy the postseason now.

That will be the best schadenfreude ever. This is because most Cards fans don't believe it will ever happen.

 

It would be so delicious if he goes to a team and has a great stretch during which his new team has a lot of success and he goes into the HOF with another team's hat on. :twisted:

[Derwood]

Now I don't care who wins the World Series \:D/

[gflore34]

Fantastic!!!! I thought their bullpen would be the weak spot but, it never really got to that point. I was not as impressed with the Cardinals as many experts were, they had that incredible August but, were pretty ordinary outside of August.

[E.J.]

It's especially nice since they're the first team out of the playoffs. :twisted:

[Derwood]

Times like this I wish Elias was still making YouTube videos

I have to admit, with Carpernter an Wainwright as the 1-2 and Pujols/Holliday/Ludwick in middle, I thought they had a great chance to do some serious damage in the postseason.

 

I also think they will be a lesser team at the start of 2010. Holliday and DeRo will leave, and Franklin won't repeat his 2009 performance.

[Soonernation]

Why doesn't LaRussa catch much flak for all the playoff chokes his teams have had? His pixie dust seems to disappear most of the time during October

i don't think he'll go elsewhere because the cardinals will pay him enough to stay, even if it's $30-35M. they're not a huge market but they're big enough to keep him as long as he doesn't want $40M+ in free agency.
