[Little Slide Rooter]

So if the Cards lose, do the Reds just celebrate the division and not bother taking the field this afternoon?

Ball 3 (pitch 5) to robinson was right down the middle.

I feel like every time I look DeJesus is getting a big hit or having a good game at the plate but he's only hitting .266 with an OPS in the .750s and I think a 1.2 WAR. Not that those numbers are terrible but it feels like his numbers should be better than that.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Did I mention that I really, really hate the Cardinals ??

[Schwarber Fan]

That is the only place Beltran is going to hurt you nowadays

 

dammit

He's had a great season

[bcl412]

Well, crap.

[illiniguy]

Walk off wins are more fun anyways.

Seems like that's the only kind we get against the Cardinals, eh?
