A lot of Cardinal fans in our section were scared after that infield fly rule call. We were about 15 rows up from the field where the catch happened. The ATL fans were throwing stuff on the field. Not trying to hit us but those fans in the upper deck couldnt make the field so it landed on us. We all got coke, beer etc thrown on us. A full bottle of water with the cap on went right in-between my and the wife's head as we stood together. Really lucky it didn't hit us, it was traveling really fast.

I think I could go into the 2012 Cards thread and find no one thinking we had a chance in that game. We were over matched. And we were. The playoffs are always a crapshoot.

You belong in the American League that is why you cursed.

The residue of the Pilots has never washed off.

I remember in 2011 we had to go to ATL and face this young phenom that had been killing teams all season. We stood no chance. Then we won and had to go to Philly and face the best playoff starting rotation ever according to the media. Went down to a winner take all pitchers duel between two long time friends. We won that one too.

We had no business winning any of those games or series. We sucked most of the year. Stumbled into the playoffs. Barely made it in. No one who posts in this thread thought we had a chance to win anything. We were just going to get embrassed.

Your year will come sometime. Pitt fans deserve one.

Those two games burned for other reasons. In 2014, Teke, our old closer and beloved post game analyst, returns from a heart attack to throw out the first pitch. We get destroyed against the Giants.

In 2015, we lose to the damn Cubs and their annoying fan base of narcissists who act like lovable losers but are entitled jerks and the media who jumped their bandwagon.

I could have handled the Padres or Mets.

2013 had additional pain for me because Matt Adams hit the big home run. The guy grew up 25 minutes from me in a town my ancestor co-founded. He even went to college near Pittsburgh but NH didn't draft him.

That Phillies-Cardinals series stunk for me to watch. I wanted both teams to lose. Haha

I remember that. I was on the train on the way home and my Braves fan wife called and starting cussing me on my phone over it.

**** the Braves. They had a bullshit strike zone throughout nearly the entire 90s

**** both your shit teams. I can't stand either one. The only one that might be worse is the Giants.

Impressive game so far by Wacha... no hitter or not.

quit trying to work the count and just swing at anything, Munoz.

I had an enormous headache yesterday so I slept through the afternoon. I guess I didn't miss anything.

**BigRedChief** · 06-04-2018, 07:10 AM

Hamas, are you sure that Wacha isn't worth anything to other teams? Teams at the trade deadline trade for a starter all the time and overpay. Happens every year. With Wacha they still have another year of control.

We never sell high. This trade deadline will be as high as Wacha's value is ever going to be. I just don't see how we cant get something worthy out of him. Straighten me out.
