    NLCS Game 3

    Sounds like rain.  In 2006 the Cardinals used mother nature to their advantage but it wont work like that this time.  Not playing tonight would do away with an off day on Sat and force TLR to use Carp on 3 days rest if they play a game 7.

    I listened to the forecast on the way in to work and the weather guy said a rainout is likely.

    They're saying sporadic showers throughout today and tomorrow morning.  Right now it's somewhat sunny and the tarp is off the field.

    "You know I think it's bush [league]," Brewers center fielder Nyjer Morgan said."

    Considering all the time he spent in the minors, he ought to know.

    This is the goofiest gripe I've ever seen. What's funny is that the Brewers failed to mention that their family members will be sitting in a freaking luxury suite. OH THE HORRORS! THEIR SAFETY!

    Its turned very grey, but still no rain.  The field is still uncovered and a few of the Cardinals are out playing catch.

    The latest Weather Channel radar seemed to suggest the storm might pass just to the east of St. Louis, at least until 9:00 which was as far forward as their interactive radar would go.

    The Cardinals simply cannot have rain become a factor tonight.  They can't afford to have this game postponed and lose the off-day.

    Even worse, they cannot have this game get started, get delayed by a massive storm and lose Carpenter after a couple of innings.

    Maybe Wainwright, Pujols and Horton can summon the powers of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and get the skies to clear. Or at least the rain to stay away.

    I wonder if TLR is thinking about starting another pitcher if it looks as if the rain will delay the game at some point.

    To give them the benefit of the doubt, that Giants' fan just got out of the hospital and if we read between the lines, he is not much more than a vegetable.  And it's just possible that the Brewers players don't know the seating chart at Busch III, and don't realize the implications of the seats they have been offered.

    Nyjer Morgan is one in particular who should be worried because he is such a polarizing player.  Little does he know that, unless things have changed greatly in St. Louis, that the worst an opposing fan is likely to face, is being taken out and treated to too many beers, such that he falls down face first into an alcohol coma.  But I will give the guy a little bit of a break here, as his last team was based in D.C. and it's very hard to criticize a guy for watching out for the safety of his family.

    I doubt anybody paying $300-400 for luxury seats in the playoffs are interested in harrassing Morgan's gang-banger family.

    Can they put in a good word for me? I really need to win the lottery.

    "And it's just possible that the Brewers players don't know the seating chart at Busch III, and don't realize the implications of the seats they have been offered."

    What's comical is they think it's all part of a LaRussian plot to distract them. I can't imagine LaRussa sitting in his office, rubbing his hands together like Voldemort and pronouncing "You know what will really f*ck them up? Let's put their families in the luxury suites!!!"
    Red Auerbach used to get accused of all kinds of shenanigans by opposing teams. Like turning up the heat in the visitors locker room or turning off the hot water in the shower. It turns out the Boston Garden was just an old building, and since the Bruins owned it and the Celtics were their tenant, Auerbach didn't even know where the thermostat was. But he never let on.

    This is going to be another joke of a strike zone.

    I think Carpenter got away with one there against Braun.

    Dear Milwaukee Fan,

    Mark Kotsay is your starting center fielder, in all likelihood because your manager wants to avoid the distraction of a Carpenter/Morgan confrontation. Do you still think the T-Plush bullshit is still cute?

    Sincerely,

    Cardinal Fan

    Go ahead and walk Punto. Let's start with Furcal in the second.

    I'd feel a lot better if we had "good Carpenter.". This is "I'm trying to get by without my best stuff Carpenter."

    Which is not good because Holbrook is giving Gallardo a strike zone a mile wide.

    Why did Jay and Furcal go up there and look at four pitches?
