Why the hell not, it can't be any worse than them winning it all last year with that team. Don't tempt them. They could make the playoffs, then lose the first 2 games of the NLDS by scores of 430-0 and 232919-0 and then win 3 consecutive 1-0 games on a HBP and 3 wild pitches in the bottom of the 23rd inning every game and then rinse and repeat through the NLCS and World Series. If they make the playoffs, I have no doubt they will get to the world series again. Other teams will feel the need to challenge Pujols.

Who the hell is IWMSAN? The guy who sang Never Surrender.

Yeah walk then a granny.

Of course.

He can work to become average, I would think.

And more money for Ryan Braun Na Braun was considered a slugger at least. This Hardy stuff came out of no where.

athletic play by Hill there.

Who would have thought JJ Hardy would have more homers than any Cubs? Someone could have made a lot of money betting on that.

man our offense is a joke.

He hit his homer for the month earlier.

Do the cards catch oswalt?

If we don't make the playoffs, we can point to that series when they swept us down there. Or we could just take care of business and win our games and not complain about anything. Hence why I said IF

wow, where the hell was that?

If we don't make the playoffs, we can point to that series when they swept us down there.

Chris Young. Oh yeah I keep forgeting he is a rookie.

which rookie has more homers than Braun?

Braun's numbers are ridiculous.

Dlee and the Astros both suck.

Does anyone actually think we are going to win this division anymore? We have given away way too many of these games.

I agree 100% What a joke. I agree too.

Why? Even if it works, I'm complaining. Yeah right. Yeah so, I'm the first to call out decisions that are bad even if they work We hadn't scored since what? The 3rd inning? Sorry, but that was not a bad decision, it was bad execution. Kendall couldn't execute the bunt, and then he couldn't execute with the runners moving. It's that simple. Why would you send the tying run with 0 outs in the 9th when he's already in scoring position. It makes no sense. so you don't need a hit to tie it up? But I hated the call. Valverde is a strikeout pitcher. Fontenot isn't fast. Too much risk. Sucks it didn't work out. I don't see how anyone can defend that call. 0 outs, runner already in scoring position, top of the order coming up. I was fine with bunting, but why take that big of a risk? It's not that big of a risk: Kendall grounds into a double play with runners on base a greater percentage of the time than he strikes out with runners on base. You add in the fact that there's a small possibility that Fontenot can beat the throw to 3rd base even if Kendall does strike out (and the small benefit of the runners moving if Kendall gets a hit), and the odds easily favor the runners moving in that situation. It's not something you do with many hitters-but Kendall strikes out so infrequently and grounds into enough double plays for it to be a good move. No it isnt if he swings and misses its a more sure double play than if he hits the ball. Plus, If there is a double play the way we did it keeps the lone runner on 2nd. The other way odds are we have a runner at 3rd.

It will when the cards sweep them.

Why would you send the tying run with 0 outs in the 9th when he's already in scoring position. It makes no sense. Because you're more worried about a ground ball DP if you don't send the runners than a strike-em-out/throw-em-out DP if you do send them. Why I would rather have the guy at 3rd with two outs as opposed to 2nd. At least a wild pitch ties it then.
