  1. the nats are going to eliminate the brewers, dodgers, cardinals, and astros
  2. ' - Dr. Dre
  3. that was terrible fake crying
  4. the nationals are a fun ass team
  5. that intentional walk to kendrick in the 1st inning with 1 out was so horsefeathering stupid
  6. Huh? He’d be stupid not to. He easily would get another 1-2 years and another $30-50 mil over what he has left, he has 4/90 left. He’d easily get 5/120 or 6/135 or so. Do you forget all of the health issues he's had? Would he gamble on a new deal, or take the guaranteed money? I'm not convinced he gets 5/120 he doesn't give you many full seasons but he hasn't made less than 22 starts in any of the last 8 seasons and is always very good in them. his health history isn't as bad as darvish and he's also better.
  7. none of these things mean anything, I dont understand why people cite stuff like this in baseball Beating Scherzer twice does mean something, lol. Sorry you can't do "small samples!!!" to things like that. That guy wrecked almost every one he faced. Since Jeff Albert (came over from Houston) became the primary hitting coach, the Cardinals have had the 4th best offense in baseball. Nationals, like the Braves, have a crap bullpen. You need that to win in the playoffs. Cardinals will just hack fouls and take take take until the 5th-6th when starters are lifted and feast on their pen. Just like we did Atlanta. I don't put a lot of stock into WAR for pitchers when the stat doesn't consider weak contact/ground balls. And that's the moneyball market efficiency that Cardinals were all-in on. Mikolas, Waino, and Hudson are all groundball specialists. The whole staff is. With Edman and Wong and DeJong in the infield... it'll be smooth sailing barring crazy BABIP luck. Cardinals are the best postseason team remaining with HR/FB rates too. We keep the ball in the park in a homer-crazy league. That's how you win. That's how we'll beat the Nationals.

  9. Cardinals went 5-2 against them this year, including 3 of 4 at home and have home field advantage. With Anibal Sanchez starting game 1. This won't be a cakewalk. Especially since it'll set up where Wainwright only pitches at home. Cardinals beat Scherzer twice this year. none of these things mean anything, I dont understand why people cite stuff like this in baseball
  10. now i have to root for the stupid astros and dodgers again
  11. send freeman to bolivia
  12. du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du ROB BIRONAS
  13. cubs got what they had coming and the brewers and cardinals are losing excruciating games in the playoffs. good season actually
  14. That likely got them in the play-in game, though. and that's the game you live for
  15. oh yeah that's the stuff
  16. imo the nationals should have started their pitcher who has been doing really good the last month instead of their pitcher who has been doing really bad
  17. they have sano, who is a worse person than russell Ummm, no. did she recant, or do you just not believe her?
  18. they have sano, who is a worse person than russell
  19. woodruff is actually really good
  20. devastating loss for the brewers, damn
  21. i can't even figure out what the hell i'm looking at
  22. damn it i like him now
  23. russell being awful is far and away the best part of this season
