Pitching Miller in Game 4 makes sense to me. He'll either get Greinke on short rest or Dick Nolasco. He's not the mental midget that Lynn is, so that looks to be a game where we would have a pitching advantage on paper. It doesn't always hold up, but that's important. Look at the last series
On paper: Waino > Burnett Lynn < Cole Kelly < Liriano Wacha > Morton Waino > Cole With the way these pitching matchups stack, I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a home win until Game 5 or 6.

The Dodgers can crow about Greinke and Kershaw all they want. Outside of that they have nothing. I like Kelly against Greinke and let's not forget the Cardinals beat Kershaw twice this year. I hope Kershaw is off after having his normal schedule upset. Greinke hasn't gone over six innings since Sept 1.

Hanley's been the best player in the NL this season when on the field. Puig's pretty outstanding. Gonzalez isn't what he was 5 years ago, but he's still a very very good player. Etheir may/may not be healthy but if he is he's a guy that hits RHP very hard and we have no LHSP. Even Crawford's become a useful player again. They also have the best closer in baseball and some nice setup pieces in front of him. The Dodgers are a damn good baseball team.

our top 3 starters were top 10 in ERA. Ryu had a rough first time but dudes a rookie coming from ****ing Korea where they said 85 percent of Korea was watching. It happens, He should settle down now that he's had a start in the post season. We were the number 2 era in the NL for a reason, they are good pitchers. ONly team better was the Braves n they are goners.
Let everyone think the Dodgers have nothing though. Either is coming back as well, so thats a huge plus, Skip sucks bad. lol |

The Dodgers are the best NL team the Cardinals have faced this century. I can't think of one better. They terrify me. The 2006 Mets team we thought would make mincemeat of the Cardinals had six fewer WAR.

One thing Donnie did with almost everyone is give them alot of days off once they built that lead to like 13 games. they would play 2 games n get a game or 2 off. He did that for alot of the team |

The Pirates are a classy team with that little Sports Center bit.
Good for them - Clint seems to be pretty mellow. He was a pretty good Royal too . Go Big Blue Bus! |

It's really going to hurt that we had to pitch Wainwright last night. I fear that may be the difference if we lose. The kiddies are really going to have to step up.

I'm keeping the faith but facing Kershaw. Greinke,and Ryu is going to suck. They don't give up shit.

Wow. Just... that's unbelievable. Chipper Jones is basically the modern George Brett. If the Royals players ever did something like this to him people in Kansas City would be calling for their ****ing heads.
The really shocking thing about this is Brian McCann. Grew up idolizing the guy, then became his teammate for years, and as their catcher he was enough of a bitch not to go out and catch that pitch? Pathetic. |

I've not disliked an individual group of players more since the 2003 Cubs.
