stupid cardinals scoring runs now

 

i'm still not going to subject myself to rooting against the cardinals. i think the cubs are better, but the cardinals will just annoy you and win 90+ games anyways

 

I'm way more focused on the potential wild card rivals than the Cardinals.

 

well that's dumb

 

wild cards are dumb i dont want one of those

i want one very, very much. it's only half a playoff spot, but [expletive] would i like to have half a playoff spot.

we're def right there http://www.baseballprospectus.com/odds/

I'm assuming this doesn't know the magnitude of losing a guy like Adam Wainwright too

 

yes it does

[Guest]

well that's dumb

 

wild cards are dumb i dont want one of those

 

I'll take it because even without Wainwright I don't think we're a better baseball team than they are.

 

nah and i'll bet you money on it if you'd like

 

i'll give you even money

I'll take any playoffs. And the Wild Cards are usually the teams that go far.

no

 

the wild cards in the current set up have a significantly worse chance of doing anything than division winners

[OleMissCub]

since this game sucks now, can we talk about how overrated that willie mays catch is

 

Eh, slightly overrated but what makes it so impressive is that the ball was caught at the 420 foot mark (Polo Grounds had a 475 foot CF) and Mays had been playing very shallow, so it was caught on a legitimate dead sprint. Not the greatest catch ever but still extremely badass nonetheless.

[Guest]

My intense hatred of The Plan has that covered.

[treebird]

Montero puts every throw in the dirt

[Guest]

we've played so well lately that i ain't even mad about tonight

 

it's much more frustrating when it means like being .500 vs 2 games over or whatever.

[Guest]

Might as well just let Edwin go the rest of the way.

[treebird]

it would be a great example of the tenuous beauty of the artistic pursuit if it turned out that crack wilson was the same guy as RAWDOG
