They've gotta be going to Stanley's tonight right? Because I'm going to stay there like a pathetic fanboy.

 

Also official ruling is I'm going to let this dongebration fester into the night then when our collective dongover subsides I will start an NLCS thread to discuss frivolities like future opponents if they ever decide to start finishing serieses

 

THAT'S the place i was thinking about

 

god now i have to go

I don't know about anyone else but after celebrating hard for awhile I sat down and shed a tear out of shear happiness.

road goes both ways, Heywards bomb is an out and Peralta's double is a fly out as well with no wind.... meaning they dont score a run. Whereas Fowler and Kyle's HRs probably dont go out. Soler's still does because it was a line drive missle.

 

I think Heyward's ball may have been homer regardless, but Peralta's double and Piscotty's 9th inning HR (though irrelevant) would have been a flyouts. As you say, Schwarber and Fowler's homers last night were wind aided, but the rest were legit.

 

One poster over there called Javy's HR today a "pop-up that got out", which was absurd.

 

its feels awesome to have Cardinal fans tears (further)validate us.

Finally going through GRB. One gem:

 

 

I've already tried to tell you that Baez is garbage, today notwithstanding. Dude is a strikeout machine who has a terrible swing and bad plate discipline. Soler has shown flashes but also struggles with plate discipline. I love Russell - Schwarber has prodigious power, but his avg. in Aug/September was hideous (and that was not facing any lefty pitchers to speak of).

 

Also - whose pitching for the Cubs? Lester contract will be terrible 2 years from now - Arrieta will not be this historically good again - and the other 3 guys in their rotation are hot garbage. Maybe they sign David Price and I change my tune - I'm not remotely afraid of the Cubs provided we stay healthy.

 

i like 33anda3rd a lot

 

Yeah, he's a good one. My least favorite is probably Cronos, because he puts on airs, but is just a jackass.

 

But compared to boards like Cards Talk, GRB is a pretty civilized place.

David I was at the game after the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup, and they were at Wrigley. The Cubs lost 6-0 to the Indians with Jake pitching, go figure. Anyway there was a place across the street on Clark I believe and all the Hawks were there. Giant bus limos were lining the streets along with like 400 people trying to get in. Was that Stanley's?

i liked where the one guy listed all the elite players the cardinals had and then he basically told him none of them would start on the cubs. that guy did not like that.

oh, lol sorry. I just figured that bar was probably the one where they always go or something since all the Hawks were at that place. Anyway stop talking to me go have fun!

[Guest]

i had caught a second wind but i'm not sure i have enough energy to go back out

[Omar]

Did Cards talk just privatize their forums?

[Guest]

Toying around with sending out a mass email to anyone that ever registered with nsbb to come back and post during the nlcs.

 

What should the text be?

 

COME SEE OUR DONGS

 

Brought me back!

Laura!!!!!

 

So glad to see you!

[Guest]

WHAT? YOU MEAN THEY WOULDN'T MAKE IT OVER THESE 3 BACKUPS??

[TripJ]

So....Mets? Dodgers? Do you care?

[weitliz]

How the hell has it been 12 years since our last NLCS???? Feels awesome to be back! This team has such a different feel from that 03 team. I love watching them play and not dreading having any particular part of our lineup come to bat. Woooooo!!!!!

Got a little dusty in here.

I want to say that I prefer the Mets, because we've owned them this year (though that was before the offense woke up). But it boils down to the fact I'd rather face DeGrom/Syndergaard than Kerhsaw/Greinke.

David how the heck are you able to celebrate around wrigleyville, post here and surf gatewayredbirds for comments among other things. You sir are a world class multi-tasker

It's the new upgraded processor they installed earlier this year.

[Guest]

Last three teams (Giants twice, and BoSox) to eliminate the Cardinals from the playoffs, won the World Series. I'm not saying, I'm just saying. Take that however you want.
