We're among friends, right? I can admit something here. I like andre either. I bet he makes a positive dif for the dodgerdogs.

You're the worst giants fan since the philistines.

Success does make one soft, apparently.

I sure am glad I don't have to ride the Brian Wilson roller-coaster anymore.

Just scored tix for Monday's game.

$125 a pop for mid level LF pavilion.

Dodgers need to start capitalizing on these opportunities. Keep coming up short.

You're killing me Michael Young, at least fucking strike out.

Kersh has a .47 era through three starts this postseason and his record is 1-1. Give the man some support! God I hate the cards.

Redbirds.
Sweep.
12 in 13.

We have a Zaz sighting!

Dodgers take game three on a strong outing by Ryu.

I am hoping we bring Greinke on short rest tomorrow.

Is there an off season thread yet? I want to make a Beltran to the Braves prediction.

The Cards whining about the Dodgers celebrating cracks me up. Did they not notice Molina's quadruple fist pump celebrations after every strike out in STL?

Also the @BestFansStLouis twitter account is depressing.

Almost funnier than that was all of the mocking of the Dodgers payroll, though they all somehow forgot to mention the payroll disparity in their NLDS series.

Wainwright was complaining about Adrian heckling him while on base, which does seem kind of bush league.

Beltran is just a cranky old man, apparently. I love Puig!

Should have rolled with Greinke on short rest.

I still have a glimmer of hope with Greinke, Kershaw, Ryu on deck.

Scottie · Post by **Scottie** » Tue Oct 15, 2013 10:31 pm

Fucking hell Ethier just standing there and getting tagged out? Carpenter is in the damn basepath. You've got to run him the fuck over there to at least break up the double play.

What was that the 10th? 12th? time the Dodgers had the tying run at the plate? Bah.

Keg · Post by **Keg** » Tue Oct 15, 2013 10:35 pm

More hope:

@ESPNStatsInfo 4m
This is 3rd time the Cardinals have led the NLCS 3 games to 1.

They lost the series in each of the previous 2 instances (1996, 2012)

Scottie · Post by **Scottie** » Tue Oct 15, 2013 11:14 pm

Let's see . . . 1996 -v- Atlanta, games 5-7 went 14-0, 3-1, 15-0. And in 2012 -v- San Francisco, games 5-7 went 5-0, 6-1, 9-0. So that's a combined 52-2.

Dodger base running has been atrocious this whole series. Giving up in double play situations, getting caught stealing when there was no reason to steal, getting picked off--they've had it all. If they lose this series, it will be because of that. I kind of have to hang that on Mattingly. Oh, and also the pinch running for Gonzalez thing. That was stupid.

Wow, these guys are a bunch of chokers. I am now fired up!!

Barry Zito ain't walking through that door.

I am guessing stopping on a dime (and sudden change of direction) is tough for Ethier since he has a high ankle sprain. A pinch runner would have been nice in that situation.

Tickets for todays game are going for as low as $10. When I checked this weekend, the cheapest ticket was $75.

howard · Post by **howard** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 10:35 am

How was the LF pavilion the other night?

Keg · Post by **Keg** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 11:25 am

It was fun, but not as loud or rowdy as Game 4 NLDS against the Barves. Seems like the fans weren't as amped up after the two deflating losses at STL.

Scottie · Post by **Scottie** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 3:24 pm

Well, that was a perfectly myocardial infarction inducing top half of the first.

Why puig is hitting sixth is beyond me. should be 2nd.

Puig was 0-6 in game one (which Kelly started). He was 0-3 against Kelly in three terrible at-bats.

He's been hitting sixth the whole series and it's stupid. yeah, he's slumping a but but he's still better than ellis.

Scottie · Post by **Scottie** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 3:42 pm

(nit picking): sixth since game three, yeah. Fifth and clean-up in the first two. Bumped down for Ethier.
