cards vs dodgers
 

Scuds i like it - every espn analyst picked the cards over the dodgers .....gotta take la and joe to the bank in round 1 , joe will find a way to get this team through and onto the 2nd round

They all picked the Cards? Well, we do suck in St. Louis. It's not been a good team for us to play. If their top 2 starters come correct, then we're dead. I'll be honest. If we lose either of the first two games, then we probably won't get another game this year in Dodger Stadium. That's just reality. We rarely win in St. Louis. Simply a fact. Have to somehow win the first two here, because I'll believe we win a playoff game in St. Louis win Hell Freezes Over. I'd much prefer to play the Rocks some more, but we can't. If only they let us (team with the best record in the league) play the Wild Card. Our pitching doesn't seem to hold up in St. Louis. It's like they've got a way to tell the batter what pitch were throwing. It's horrible (especially late in games there.) We just seem to have no shot there. That's why they're picking the Cards. We won't take them too lightly. They've routinely kicked our a-s-s. Only thing we have going for us is we're streaky, and hopefully hit a vein of gold during our last two games of the season. Can almost guarantee you if we can't win here, then we sure won't win there. Kershaw is gunna have to have his best stuff Thursday. Better not have any of that letdown bullsht he often has after a good effort.

another two hotshots baseball handicappers in NY here looked at me like i was crazy when i said the dodgers could beat St Louis , geez scuds seems like the whole world has no faith in Uncle Joe

It's not that they can't. They can. It's just a really bad match-up for us. Nice aggressiveness by Kemp, and Furcal (to get us started.) Unfortunately, they are so much better managed that it's a lot to overcome. Look at what happened to Manny. Hits it between 1st n' 2nd. Pujols was way over there waiting. We've struggled to shut this damn club down in the 6th-9th innings. Our pitching in that part of the game just hasn't been good enough to stop the Cards. We've been in the games, but can't control their hitters late in games.

Don't know why he gave Kemp anything other than breaking junk in that 1st at bat. That's weird. I guess he wanted to get ahead, but wow. Randy has had a lot of breaks tonite. Throwing crappy. Better come correct, or somebody's going deep on him.

That was hilarious!!

DeRosa fixing the playoffs

Takes a special talent for a 3B to hit the cut off man in RF when throwing to 1B.

Seems like just a matter of time before the Cards get about 4 runs. Weaver threw one right down the middle, and got an inch lucky. We aren't pitching well enough. Same old Cards. All over us. We've been lucky. They could've easily had 8 or 9 runs by now.

Game reminds me of game 4 in the NLCS last year. We didn't take advantage of our chances, and the Phils rallied after that.

Weaver throws one right down the middle to RASMUS. Fkn sloppy white trash.

Joe better have Pierre bunt. He hits it right to the 2nd baseman too much.

OMG..Pierre, you piece of sht. What the hell kinda bunt was that?

That's the great Rafael Furcal. Won that war.

Ain't gun be easy, Kung Fu. Challenge 'em with ya best pitch.

Challenge him, damn it. Haven't caught up to you yet.

G D Right. Make them hit that. Kung Fu man strong with the rising heat.

Gotta get 4 outs from Broxton. Good God.

Throw strikes, you pig.

OMG. Throw strikes, you fkn pig.

Brox is awesome

Wow!! Pujols swung at that?? Truthfully, that was ball 5. What a break.

Yea, awesome talent, but that's a woman competitor (always will be.)

We could use more runs. Once that pig gets scared, he starts giving up runs like nickel candy cane.

UNFORGIVEABLE....Such fkn stupidity by Kemp.

OMG...FAT BOY SURVIVES!! Gales, we be dancing.

1-0 over the cards

onto game 2

Best pitcher in the NL going tonight

Ain't going after people today.

Looks like we're gunna lay down today.

oooo...Cards better not let Ethier get going.

Told you they don't give Kemp any of the breaks at the plate. 1st pitch in both of the last at bats weren't strikes. Umps don't like him. They see him as uppity.

Not a strike that he called Manny out on, either. That's ball four( man at 1st, one out), or 2 outs nobody on. Which would you want?

Kemp missed his pitch. Had our chance. Blew it. Manny n' Kemp fouled off the pitches they should of destroyed. Rasmus didn't miss his chance. Simple as that. F'N DON'T EXECUTE.

Now Ethier popping up a decent pitch to hit. They are gunna wish they had executed.

Manny missed that. Wow. Sick.

Uh oh. Brutal play by Holliday.

Ronnie does Execution.

Sails, oh sails. Say bye to the wind. Franklin is looking like the guy he was when he had a P on his hat.

Heaven

Holliday should just keep running, back to St. Louis. Gump style.
