At least they’re not the Falcons?

Both pretty pathetic at this point

One choked away SB and the other hasn't won a playoff series since 2002 and it can be argued underachieved during 15 years of dominance in division walking away with only 1 WS under Bobby Cox

I had told my dad during the previous game, if the Cardinals win, they'll go to Atlanta and blow them out. & wow even I didn't expect that.

Braves with another error

Bases Loaded for Cards again

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

And a liner to center

12-0 Cards

Still bases loaded 1 out

13-0 Cards but now 2 out and bases still loaded

You wonder if the Cardinals should even use their starting pitcher at this point.

I was thinking the same, but then he went out there and threw 100+ pitches. Weird haha

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I guess it could be argued he was already ready to pitch for game (Going thru pregame warmups , etc) and that pulling him early or not starting him would have potentially thrown off his routine heading into NLCS

Cards win 13-1 and advance to 14th NLCS

I understand pitching him a little. But if pulling him early is really going to throw him off that much, well then he’s not the kind of guy I’d want to rely on in a series when he needs to pitch out of rotation or something. Nothing wrong with having him pitch a little today, but 100+ pitches just seems unnecessary.

Might turn out to be no big deal, though. We shall see.

Dodgers looking good early

2 run HR in 1st and Solo HR in 2nd off of Strasburg

It's preseason, but Coby White has been very good so far.

And on the flip side, Kris Dunn is still bad.

Jesus, Kurt Suzuki got drilled right in the face.

 

[piteus]

The Bulls actually look like a team. Tons of assists and movement on offense and they tried and helped on defense. Don't worry about the 4th quarter collapse. The Bulls played with White and Archie along with Felicio and 2 G League players. They were up 20 points when the rotation guys stopped playing at the end of 3Q.

Kris Dunn isn't great, but if he gets some time in the first month ... we might be able to get a 2nd round pick for a team desperate for a PG.

Felicio has to be the worst player in the NBA. 1 more year and then package a 2nd round pick with Felicio to get rid of his $7mn contract next year.

Death, taxes and Clayton Kershaw choking in the playoffs.

Death, taxes and Clayton Kershaw choking in the playoffs.

I feel bad for him. What a terrible post season resume for such a great pitcher.

 

[clydesdale line]

WHAT A f***ING CHOKE JOB!

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

Kendricks!

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

So what’s up with the Dodgers bullpen? Has it been this bad all year? How did they win 100+ games?

 

[clydesdale line]

Wow! Now I hope the Rays beat the Astros tomorrow then all bets are off.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

I really am happy for the Nationals. That’s awesome for them. However, I feel like that really opened the door for the Cardinals to go to the World Series.

Oh well... the AL team will probably win it anyway.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

I don't know if I should laugh more at the Dodgers or Harper.

Wait, I can laugh at both!

Now beat the Cards, gnats.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Wow! Now I hope the Rays beat the Astros tomorrow then all bets are off.

Yankees would still be for sure favorites, no? Or am I missing something?

They would. But hey.. the Astros were suppose to be the juggernaut team. I don't think the Rays can pull off two straight upsets if they do beat Houston but you never know.
