    Spot on. Game thread is most active when they lose or struggle to win. Easy wins are almost always snooze fests.

    It would of been a "got ya" question for sure but I think that playing the worse team in baseball in September when your down 3.5 games is always a must win if you are serious about winning the devision.

    When you are down 3.5 with 12 to play I think every single game is a must win. You won;t win 'em all more than likely but they are all must wins in that position

    Rockies take the lead against the Cards... 2 to 1 in the bottom of the 7th.

    Worked out well, preserving most of the pen.

    Bases juiced for Colorado. Still bottom 7. Two out. New reliever inbound for the Cards. Good game if you have mlb.tv. Surely better than football and we have the vested interest.

    Iwouldn't call it a must win but it was a "will look pretty bad if you lose" game.

    If you're going for the division still, then it's damn near a must win game.

    If the Cards lose too tonight that loss yesturday was even more devistating. Would of been only 1.5 games out...
