it'll be tough in st. lou. but i have faith that clemens can beat morris in game 7 if he has to. I would love nothing more than St. Louis to win game six to get the hopes of cards fans around the world sky high. Then have Morris (my least favorite player in sports) get absolutely shellacked in game 7. It would truly make my week. would it make you feel better about the fact that carpenter's pitched well in the postseason after he sucked for you down the stretch in RK? :D
the brewers are in a great position. they have two position players (overbay and clark) that could be moved and replaced by young, cheap, capable guys. they've developed a pretty good young, cheap, productive pen, and they have sheets locked up.
he stepped out of the box, went behind the catcher and had an extended argument w/ the ump. it was a bad call, but edmonds should know better. nobody's going to bend the rules for him. Showing more patience isn't bending the rules, it was dumb for him to argue in the manner he did. He shouldn't have been thrown given the circumstances of being such a close game and the post-season. i don't know if i buy into the argument that rules change given the circumstances. maybe if edmonds would have gotten tossed more during the regular season, he'd have learned his lesson by now. :D

why is brennaman sticking up for edmonds? you know damn well you can't argue balls and strikes, does the rule change because it's the 8th inning of game 4 and you're jim edmonds?
i would have really enjoyed seeing eckstein roll into a nice 6-4-3 after the announcers got down falling all over themselves about how he doesn't strike out. larussa w/ some questionable calls this game. too bad they can't squeeze right here so everyone can call him a genius.
the umpire rang him up! aj completely bs'ed his way onto first base. watch erstad on the replay...he's saying that he saw the ump give the out sign, which he did...what an awful, awful call.
i gotta say...it wouldn't bother me one bit to see the white sox win. think of the pressure that would be put on hendry, the trib and the cubs. the white sox follow the red sox in ending really long dry spells...everyone would be looking at the cubs to get their act together. of course, that may lead to some stupid, rash decisions, so maybe that's not for the best.
