[sneakypower]

Aaron Hill stretching that out and coming well short of 1B was pretty outstanding

[CubInOK]

Jim Edmonds does pregame and post game coverage for the Cardinals now.

[Cubswin11]

Here we go...

[Ski]

And one of the best defensive first basemen in the game throws the ball away. Because he's playing the Cardinals.

I really wish that "I'm [expletive] done with them" story had been true.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

... and the Cardinals don't score, because they aren't really some mythical team sent down from the gods.

 

Jeez, chill out.

I saw that and figured it must be near the end of the game and, of course, it turns out to be 1-1 going in to the [expletive] 5th.

 

I swear these goobers WANT the Cardinals to be good so they can soak in their misery over it.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Stupid Cardinals infielders throwing the ball into the outfield on a routine ground-ball double play. Ugh, must be because they are playing the D-backs.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

And then a bunt base hit, because of course!

Thrown by Cards slugger Greg Garcia.

[ARCubsFan]

Oh you've got to be [expletive] kidding me

[Andy]

Damn it Goldschmidt, you hit the ball 7,000 feet during the series with us, would a fly ball have been too much to ask?

[Guest]

jesus [expletive] christ

 

aj pollock bunting there annoyed me and the result annoyed me more

[Aaron_Kennelly]

lol... and then Paul Goldschmidt grounds into an ending-ending double play. The second bases loaded double play of the night turned by the Cards.

[Ski]

The Cardinals season LOB% is over 80% this year.

[ARCubsFan]

How many double plays is that for the team with the strand rate that is like 80 points better than anyone in MLB history?

[mul21]

Yep, that LOB% just continues to climb. And with Goldschmidt at the plate with the bases loaded and 1 out no less.

[Andy]

The Cardinals season LOB% is over 80% this year.

We've discussed it repeatedly before, but they're on pace to blow away the season record in that stat. Something like a 1.5% margin over the current all-time record.

[Ski]

What I would give for the Cardinals to crash and burn Nationals style next year.

I'd love to see that happen in my lifetime but I doubt it ever happens

[Ski]

I mean, when's the last time, in recent memory, the Cardinals had an inexplicably bad season? Or even an underperforming one?

[ARCubsFan]

Probably 2006...and they won a World Series with their 83 win team

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Eww... provel bites? What the hell is wrong with those backwoods, inbred people?

[ARCubsFan]

Just go home with that, Jesus.

[Ski]

And the Cardinals squeak out a run on an error and Jake Lamb momentarily bobbling the ball.

 

Raise your hand if you're surprised.
