I should be happy but I'm utterly infuriated that he lost that no hitter on such a ****** play.
If you have to lose a no hitter at that point then you at least want them to get the ball into the outfield. Just a crappy way to lose it, but obviously an outstanding outing for him.
What is the preference for the NLDS? Dodgers or Pirates/Reds?

Red or Pirates, most will say reds due to our record vs pittsburgh, but I don't think either are built to win.

We're going to be playing the dodgers. We can't play the reds/pirates because you can't play a team in your division in the NLDS. Unless I'm mistaken about that rule. Braves get the wild card team anyway.
I'd basically agree. Cincinnati have been to the postseason a couple of times in the past few years and haven't managed to win a series and the Pirates are even more inexperienced. As much as I like Holliday, any time I think of playing the Dodgers I remember his attempt to catch that fly ball a few seasons ago that led to the sweep...
Haven't heard that rule, but I'm pretty sure yanks played the orioles in the ALDS last year.
It was a rule, but I'm pretty sure they scrapped it when they brought in the new wildcard playoff game.
People are gonna hold that against him for awhile, even though it was a way tougher play than it appeared. The dodgers fans were all waving white towels and that obviously had an affect on how he read the ball.

Both amazing, but I still think Miller's game was a bit more impressive. 27 straight hitters out. No walks, no errors, nothing. 27 straight. That's a perfect game. The only hit they got was a jam shot flare over the 2B's head. Damn I wish Wacha could've finished this one out.

Wacha pitched amazing last night but it was Miller hands down. Technically it wasn't a perfect game but for all intents and purposes it was. He set down 27 in a row. That's absolutely incredible.

C'mon, man, It wasn't a throwing error! 1st the ball grazed ever so slightly off Wach's glove, Adam's foot came off the bag plain and simple,Craig streaches and gets that throw and stays on the bag for the Bang bang play IMO so yes Adams can stand to lose some wight in the offseason. Still a outstanding pitching performance for Wachca no reason to hang your head, Redbirds closer to winning the division.

There were a couple other plays in the field that kept the no hitter going...Robinson made a couple of TOUGH catches that Holliday would not have hustled for.

Yeah I realize that. Look at when I posted that. I was upset that he lost it on such a dinky play.

I'm upset too, but boy I was cheered up after hearing Wacha's interview. Not only can the guy speak well, he seemed so happy and cheerful even though he didn't get the no-no. True class act guy.

I wouldn't have blamed him for being upset, but he's showing a lot of maturity. I think he is going to be the ace up our sleeve in the playoffs.

I didn't think there was any way in hell Shelby would make it into the seventh after that first inning he had. He did a great job today. That's back to back excellent start by rookies.
Why? Im mean I get that we are better off right now than if we had signed him to that ludacris contract, but he was still the greatest hitter of a generation and was pretty much directly respobsible for us having one of our most succesfull decades as a franchise.
Everytime I think about pujols, it makes me sad he isnt here anymore. Watching him get relegated to a hapless city and franchise is very disappointing for me personally. Watching him breakdown is even more depressing.
