Good thinking, bring in the lefty since Carpenter is probably up again

[Outshined_One]

mark reynolds being good is the most cardinal thing ever

 

David Eckstein.

 

Nothing will ever top David Eckstein as the most cardinal thing ever. How the [expletive] that albino midget not only managed to make the majors, but had a face that launched a thousand creepy columns about how awesome white people are at baseball will forever remain a mystery to me.

tee balled it for a hit......this season is going to destroy my liver

[SouthSideRyan]

Someone posted earlier the Cubs were the only team above .500 the Cards have played.... Might easily be below .500 when this series is over. [expletive] Cardinals.

 

They've had an easy schedule, but I'd bet the Nats and Pirates(3 apiece) wind up above .500

[treebird]

You can't even hide Jaxon in the pen. Just take the hit and cut him

 

with a knife

I've watched about 5 minutes of this game and I feel rage. This isn't healthy

He was worth an extra fWAR per season with the Angels.

oh my god i forgot that that happened

really want to sim forward at least a week right now

[Ski]

So, in most baseball games, a three run lead is pretty safe in the fifth.

 

I don't know why I try to set reasonable expectations when we play the Cardinals. My rational side says it has to balance out eventually, that this [expletive] will stop one of these games, but it just keeps [expletive] happening.

 

How do they get all the clutch hits when they need them? Why is no lead safe against them? How do we score FIVE [expletive] RUNS IN THE FIRST in yesterday's game and still [expletive] it up? How come out bullpen implodes and theirs doesn't?

 

How. HOW?! There's no way small sample size applies after five years.

They're the Cardinals. All their players end up either good or dead.

hahahaha, bravo

[treebird]

if you guys need to chill out, please enjoy this song that is on an auto imports commercial 15 times during every cubs game on my59

 

the video starts right where the song picks up in the commerical

 

[Crack Wilson]

See what I mean, David? After 3 straight extra inning games and the starter being replaced in the 3rd in the 4th game last night their pen is gassed! Worst starter going and Carpenter in a mini-slump, Molina in a real one.

 

Everything pointed to a Card loss. But I was not tricked. However, I was too gutless to bet on them. #-o
