We have Russell, Ross and Lester due up in the 3rd yay -
Man I feel like we haven't seen Rizzo square up a ball in weeks. I know it's only been a few games it just seems like forever
-
Tricky. 0.6 ER = 5.40 ERA?
-
The were talking on the radio about how Lester is a big rhythm guy and how it wouldn't be surprising to see him struggle out of the gate. I believe the 1st is Lesters worst inning in terms of ERA this year as well
-
Ugh. Lester this isn't the 2014 Wild Card game
-
Lots of hard contact off Lester
-
Damn good contact good AB for Bryant overall. Come on Jon
-
Ugh quick outs
-
The Cardinals have now played a playoff series against every Central team except Cincinnati. They've even played Houston who used to be in the division.
-
21 dongs allowed? Me likey
-
We are literally 2 minutes from a Cubs Cardinals playoff game. Please get off to a good start Cubs!
-
Well he's the MVP if you don't use things like statistics to determine value.
-
I don't understand -- not that that's a rare occurrence. Does that mean the Cubs/Cards game got blocked for you? I didn't see the pregame but I'm assuming he meant the pregame show had a lot of Mets-Dodgers coverage instead of the game that is starting right now.

Colby Rasmus: playoff hero How did that happen?
-
My first post was like an hour before Game 2 of the 03 NLDS. Man I wish we still had those threads to read, they were a lot shorter but definitely some good discussion going on. And 16 year old CT acting like a 16 year old.
-
I'm just happy the NL is on TBS and there is no chance of Strop-killer Costas calling any Cubs-Cardinal games
-
Can you propose a deal with one of the other 3 where you take 2 WS tickets and if it happens take that person, they take an NLDS game and commit to bringing you? This is assuming that by picking a game you get both tickets and that the other 3 don't sell theirs which by the looks of your post they are going to do. If that option is not there, yes take a World Series game. You'll be kicking yourself if they make the World Series and you had a chance to go but didn't.

I feel so much more relaxed than before the Pirates game. Yep, no matter what there's more after today, so not nearly the nerves of the WC game. Today is really big though, if the Cubs win they're in tremendous shape to win the series in 3 or 4. Definitely. I just feel THAT much more confident; it really feels like they knocked out the tougher team to face in this series in the WC game. Plus I just "need" them to win one of these games; come back to Chicago for game 3 with Arrieta and unleash the backbreaker. Also while I'm no where near satisfied, its a good feeling to have "accomplished" something already. It takes a little of the nerves off for the players I'm sure as well.

... They won the Division. Not in 2001. http://m.bbref.com/m?p=XXleaguesXXNLXX2001.shtml As much as I hate the Cardinals, I don't mind them claiming that as a title.
-
Strike out instead of grounding into a double play with a runner on first?
-
I do not agree with this sentiment. There are pros and cons. Ross is obviously far inferior to Miggy with the bat, but he's a better thrower to bases, which could help with Lester pitching. I wish we were facing a lefty so Ross would at least stand some chance of being useful at the plate, but it's fine. I'm sure Joe will immediately PH Montero if/when Lester comes out. That's also one of the many values of having Schwarber. You don't have to be afraid of subbing in Montero and risking being out of catchers.
-
Good to know games for other teams get called way too fast, too. Hah, just a feeling I've had since watching game 1. Certainly not guaranteeing a Rangers victory, I just believe it will happen.
