How many times has this team come back to win in the last 3 years? We are not even coming back. We are tied.
- We were supposed to get smoked by the hot new ATL pitcher on the road. What happened?
- We were supposed to have no chance against the best pitching staff ever assembled in Philly in a 5 game series? What happened?
- We were supposed to get slaughtered by the future WS winner Washington. What happened?
- Texas was destined to win the WS. We played like shit at times was down 3-2. What happened?
- No way we can win the Central division. This team was done. What happened?
- We were not supposed to beat Pitt, this years "magic" team at Pitt. What happened?
- Who pitched the 2-2 series tie breaker to win it for us against Pitt? Who?
- We were supposed to get waxed by Grienke and Kerhsaw and their $227 MILLILON payroll. What happened?
- We have not lost 2 games in a row at Busch since April.
- We have our two best pitchers fully rested ready to go. Both didn't pitch their best last time out. Room to improve.
- Lester has a 4.26 era in night games on the road.
- We are 9-1 in elimination games since 2011.
We have been to 4 World Series in 10 years. Won the Divison/League crowns. We are 2 wins away from a 12th WS title.
IT AIN'T OVER TILL ITS OVER

Honestly, if we were going to leave here up 3-2, I would rather it be after a win than listen to all the ensuing talk about last year being up 3-1 and blowing it again.
