Shut up just shut up you just ruined baseball for me you ass I have been just ignoring the Cardinals existence this season. Well, except when we play them, which makes it so much worse. I am just begging the Nationals or Dodgers to catch them so we won't have to play the Cardinals in the Division Series. Playing the Cardinals in the postseason is like my worst nightmare. I wouldn't enjoy one second of it until the final out was made if we somehow managed to end up on the winning side. I would normally totally agree. I have thought how much I would hate playing the Cardinals in the playoffs many times. Maybe it is because any playoffs would feel good after the past few years, but this year I sort of think the opposite. Can you imagine if the roles were reversed and the cubs were having a year where they comfortably win more than 100 games, only to have to play a young 2nd wildcard cardinals team in the first round? That would be the true nightmare. And IF we did beat them it would be delicious, but that still doesn't mean that I would relax enough to enjoy the series. I mean, I'll flip out if they're up 2-0 in the series and 5-0 in the 8th and a 3-2 borderline pitch doesn't go our way to the lead off hitter. I don't think my nerves could handle that series.
