Prime like his last 2 full seasons of an .875 OPS, or his .853 OPS from 21-33?

You must understand Rijo....in his mind he seriously believes that it is only the Cards that have ANY luck.

It was a lucky break in a 5-1 game

A seven game affair would be great. The more, the better.

That's all you got?

Speak not of the "infield fly" game then.

At this point it favors SF...Kung Food Panda is the only useless hitter for them, while the Cards have 3.

Not to mention that Lohse is the ONLY reliable starter the Cards have now. SF is sitting pretty.

That's all I need since it didn't change the course of the game, the infield fly took away the bases loaded and one out for a six time All-Star. If you took away that call and 3 runs the Cards still would have lost. I was funny they didn't call infield fly right after that play after blowing the last one.

Looks like Cards fans have some butthurt tonight and have to keep it over a travel day.

You kill me man.

I figured since you were "stats boy" you'd understand the run expectancy in that situation, which would have still led to a loss.

Why would a team with HFA in the NLCS feel "butthurt?"

1 on 1 out in a 5-1 game vs 0 on 2 out in a 5-1 game ain't nearly the same as...

2 on 2 out in a 6-3 game vs 3 on 1 out in a 6-3 game.

Still the Giants got lucky in that game, no doubt about it.

They are playing the team with the best road record in MLB with Matt Cain up next.

I thought you were a stats guy. You buy into team road record? LOL

It's about as reliable as home field advantage.

Historical run expectancy tells us the Braves still lose.
