Can't take our eyes off you all for one minute. The last thread was locked because it was out of hand. Please read the community guidelines if you're new. They'll help prevent you from getting banned. A couple take aways:
1) Excessive and tasteless profanity isn't welcome.
2) Obscene imagery or the written description of body parts is frowned upon
3) No personal attacks
4) Talk about the game in an emotional or rational fashion. Either way is fine. That was a gut wrenching loss but express yourself in a way that is either constructive or relatable without breaking the community guidelines.
There's a lot of new faces and that's great but just because they are game threads and it's the postseason you aren't allowed to act like this is a free for all.

I freaking love the game of baseball,
but I don’t think I can watch tonights game, or either game tomorrow. I need a break from baseball until Saturday.
And this is from a guy who gets his second most baseball satisfaction from rooting against the Red Sox.
"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

OK
I was just hitting post on the following in the last thread right as it got yanked. Responding to the idea that Wainwright should have pitched the ninth….
Waino pitched 8 innings. There is no reason to leave him in. Eventually he will tire. To me it didn’t look as it he had much left during the 8th, but he escaped. So (with the pitcher’s spot coming up in the top of the 9th!) Tony should’ve ran Waino back out there for the bottom of the 9th?
Miller did his job, Franklin got the second out, then he got a routine fly to left. That should have been the end of it. I did in fact miss the very end of the game, but regardless, you can’t blame the loss on Tony correctly removing Wainwright after 109 pitches.

Smoltz should have come in right when holliday muffed the catch
it was obvious franklin had no confidence

I think the pitching calls were all good
until the bases were loaded.
Should have gone to Smoltz there IMO.

now that's a different argument than saying Wainwright should have gone for the CG

Agree with this
Once Loretta got a hit (Stockton said he was 0 for 15 vs Franklin), probably should have made the move.

I am sure
that is why Larussa stayed with him. As soon as Stockton mentioned the 0-15 I new there was no chance of him pulling franklin.

I am convinced
Yadi and Frankie loaded the bases on purpose.
It just seems weird to me that everyone is blaming them for a game plan that has worked all season long. And was pretty much one pitch away from working.

same happened to me
Agree Waino was gassed, plus he would have had to bat to stay in. Miller got Ethier, Franklin got Manny so the plan was working well. Tony probably should have pulled Franklin once the game was tied though. Pushing it to extra innings would have been beneficial cause the dodgers bench was used up and the bullpen had Kuo left.

Apparently I wasn't civil enough on the last thread
So allow me to say: this latest defeat from the St. Louis Nine was unsavory at best! One must take issue with Col. LaRussa’s decision to replace the Mighty Wainwright with the Frail Franklin. I dare say it was a strategic error of epic proportions. And to our comrade who claims to be a pox (or “jinx”) on the team, I say:
STOP TAKING YOURSELF SO FUCKING SERIOUSLY.
I bid you good day.

to be fair
I imagine a lot of people were thinking the same thing (ie, grow up, kid). Some of GV’s later posts were crude and well over the line, but I thought the sentiment in that one was fine (minus the sexism).
OTOH, I actually DO believe there are “GOB’s” who read game threads and mess with teams whose fans taunt them openly. Yeah, that probably makes me clinically insane, but I’ll be damned if I feel sympathy for the feelings of some guy who claims to have been too busy to actually watch the bottom of the 9th inning of a 1-run playoff game (but had the time to post a stupid jinxing message on the internet in a game thread).
And I have very low confidence that he wasn’t lying when he said it was accidental. Especially since he’s been making similar posts intentionally for months. I have zero sympathy for someone who does something and then lies about it.

Matt Holliday, who dropped a fly ball by James Loney in the ninth with two outs to set in motion the Dodgers’ rally over the Cardinals, said he lost it in the lights at Dodger Stadium.
"I couldn’t see the ball. I lost in the lights.
"I had it in the beginning but then the ball came down through the lights and I lost it.
"When that happens, you hope it hits your body or hits your glove.
"I just lost it.
"Tough to swallow. I feel terrible.
"The ball hit my stomach. I think I can catch a fly ball hit right at me.
"Wainwright pitched a good game, the bullpen did its job. I just didn’t catch it."

Let’s not let the shitty feeling we all have right now detract from just how awesome Wainwright pitched tonight. I didn’t want to say it out loud, but after he breezed through the Dodgers order the first time, I thought he might pitch a no-hitter. Even after Ethier’s HR, he still looked great. He’s starting to gain a reputation of postseason badass (not that he isn’t a badass all the time).

I wonder if the Cy voters

What we certainly can take from this so far is:
Wainwright is the stud we knew he was.
Colby can hit lefties.
We need to find a true shut down closer.

Tough, Tough loss
That was about as tough as it gets. When Loretta hit that ball…bad. Real bad.
But you know what, I got a funny feeling about this series. I think Pineiro gets it done. Then, in game four, they’ll talk for years about that game Carpenter pitched. Defined his career, they’ll say. Then in game five we’ll see Wainright starring in Chavez Ravine II : The Closeout.
Hell yes that was a tough nineth inning, but if I were a Dodger fan I’d be sure to enjoy it now, because that’s all you’re gonna get.

Dodgers fans
I’m a Cards fan who just moved to Los Angeles. My boyfriend and I have been to the last two games and it was miserable. Not b/c of the scoreboard, which sucked, but because of the Dodger fans. What hole did these people crawl out of?
They are awful. We were heckled and booed, which is bad enough, but we also had food thrown at us, I was bumped purposely any time I walked to the bathroom and guys tried to start fights with my boyfriend.
In what world is behavior okay? You would NEVER be treated this way at Busch Stadium. Dodgers fans are classless a-holes. I don’t care if there are nice ones. It doesn’t make up for the plethora of psychotic jerks.

Dodgers fans still don’t quiiiiiite sink to Phillies’ fans levels, since at a Phillies game I got empty beer bottles thrown at me. Then when I got the attention of two cops to help me b/c I was alone and quite frightened, one of the cops says, “You ARE wearing a Rolen jersey.” The other cop just looked at me in a panic and was like, “Please don’t sue us.”

And both Illinois and Iowa were going after Dion Thomas… Pearl called him excessively and kept giving him the Iowa sales pitch, even after Thomas made it clear he wasn’t really interested. One time to get him to shut up and leave him alone he says that Illinois was giving him money and a car and yadda yadda to come there… he’s recording said calls and turns it over to the NCAA… he’s a slimy guy…

Agave is owned by the
same people who own Chuy Arzolas. I haven’t been there either, but a perusal of their menu indicates they make their margaritas the same there as at Agave.

chuy's uses sour mix
their margaritas gave me terrible heartburn.
They wife and I loved that place when we lived in Dogtown, but now recognize we liked it b/c we could get drunk there and eat mexican cheap. Pueblo Solis actually has real, good mexican food. Prob the best you can get outside of Cherokee St.

Pueblo Solis is great

in which Brendan still looked a little bleary-eyed (of course everyone mobbed the crying guy for a quote) and he said something to the effect of needing to go out and play hard, which would hopefully “get the baseball gods back on [their] side.”
Poor Brendan. He really does care that much.

I would apologize
but I’m not really sorry. Yet, in order to hopefully remain un-banned, I promise after this post to never mention a pl#ne cr@sh on here again.
I would also like to convey that by mentioning a pl#ne cr@sh could potentially occur, thereby placing the Cards automatically in the next round, I was not saying that I wished it would happen; call it an observation. If the Dodgers tonight visit a local watering hole and an escaped Plaxico Burress drops a bazooka down his pant leg and it goes off repeatedly, this could also place the Cards in the playoffs. I will once again reiterate that this is an observation, not a wish.
It is also in no way a death threat, seeing as how I have no psychic abilities that could down a pl@ne. Nor am I God; what I say does not magically occur. Sleep well.

But I was joking (you should all know this) and such a joke does not make the tragedy any more likely. If the Dodgers, were all tragically killed, I guess I’d have to live with my comment…yet, even then I would not feel guilty….my words on this thread have zero bearing on the fate of the Los Angeles Dodgers or anyone else for that matter.

I miss when newbies came in quietly
and earned respect, instead of acting like this place is just somewhere you can come in and start running the show.
"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

that "year in review" post is where they're all going, I think.
check the fanshots.
I haven’t gotten around to corralling all of mine, but it’s a good idea. that’ll put them all in one central post.

Good thing they're not being douchey about another random team losing!
that Seattle franchise has had so much success this decade (and, truthfully, their entire existence) they can say whatever they want and we just have to eat. You’re better than us, Settle!
We deserve your scorn and earned taking it!

If I have to judge decisions based on the wisdom of

Of all the places I don’t want VEB to end up like, LL is close to the top of the list.
