Re: Go Nationals!

Well, I'm done with baseball for the year now. See you in the spring.

Re: Go Nationals!

Absolute chokers. Even worse than the Reds. It's just sad that the Reds couldn't make the comeback that the Cards did.

Oh I actually agree with you, as much as I hate to admit it. It does make me sick to my stomach to see them win like this.

I do think they seem to get all the close calls, and amazing luck too though. That hit off the shortstop's glove to tie the game???C'mon! With most MLB shortstops, thats a third out.

Re: Go Nationals!

Every year since I got heavily back into baseball in 2006 I've been saying 'just somebody please beat the Cardinals'. And every year it eats at me.

Re: Go Nationals!

Frankly, I'd rather have lost to SF than lose to the Cardinals in the NLCS. You can't beat a team that repeatedly gets every break in the world.

Re: Go Nationals!

I can't get over who just got those hits for them.

Descalso, of the career .654 OPS and 5 career HRs in 734 ABs, hits two in a series and goes has three clutch hits in game 5.

Pete Kozma, he of the .654 career minor league OPS, gets the winning hit.

I maintain that this is Miguel Cairo and Paul Janish that just got game winning hits for the Cardinals.

Really? My brother played on one of Drew's basketball teams and I know Mark a little and I've always liked him.

I will say that there are a couple occasions where I've seen him treat refs very horribly, like kind of embarrassingly bad. I have a feeling you may have been on the end of that.

Re: Go Nationals!

I wonder if this burns the Reds players half as much as it kills us?

Re: Go Nationals!

Not even the BRM made comebacks like this in the playoffs ...that the Cards have done these last 2 years.

Oh Mark and I have a history on and off the field.

Karma bit him in the butt tonight.

Re: Go Nationals!

We didn't make the playoffs because of a pity system of barely being the 5th best team in the NL though.
