Wouldn't be a Cardinals postseason without staring down at least 1 elimination game per series right?

If the Cards lose this it will be there own fault. They had both games they lost within reach. Did anyone notice that Boggs was left in to face Tracy yesterday.

Wainwright had nothing tonight ....

The worst thing about all this is how much Brenly is enjoying it. What a douche.

Kinda had a feeling something like this might happen. Everyone seemed to be a little too comfortable with the notion of an elimination game. All the talk was about the Cardinals experience and how they'd been here before. It was like people forgot that Washington was the better team over 162 games.
All-in-all I think they still had a successful season. The post-Larussa, post-Pujols transition was fairly smooth and the young pitching and position players like Wong and Tavares give reason to like the future.

And Brenly is still a douche.

I kind of wish Holliday had taken another pitch or two. Gio was laboring badly.

Haven't watched a single pitch but I've been following along. Looks like Stammen threw Kozma nothing but sliders and he predictably did something Kozma-ish.
Nine outs to get three runs with the top of the order coming up in the 7th. This will probably be the last chance.

Note to John Mozeliak: pay better attention to your bench next season so that the best righthanded option isn't Shane Effing Robinson.
Also, say good-bye to Schumaker. He is of no use to this club.

There was a hittable fastball right down the middle that he took. At the knees, but hittable.

This could very well be Mujica's last inning as a Cardinal.

I love Holliday, but he needs to at least put together a good at-bat. Stop swinging at shit.
Offline
Got one, but two would have been nice. Not a good at-bat.
Offline
My god, what is wrong with this team with runners on base? Now we get Mr. Swing At Everything Coming Up. Should be good.

Umpire is doing a nice job of not caving in to this blood-thirsty crowd.
Offline
Just an awful string of at-bats. Awful.

I wonder if other teams bail out opposing pitchers like the Cardinals. Get 'em on base and watch 'em flail away.
Offline
Holy shit, Descalso!

No fucking way. Just no fucking way.

Against the top of their order. It ain't over yet.
