PrintCan'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.

Welcome to the post season
at least we’re in it
Future Redbirds - tracking Cardinal prospects for Cardinal Nation
at least isn't enough!!!
we need to win NOW!! albert’s hungry for a ring.
And now a scene from seinfeld
ELAINE: [mind] Who does this guy think he is?
KEITH: [mind] I'm Keith Hernandez.
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."

Time for a political thread!

"Albert hits good pitches hard and bad pitches even harder. And when he gets in the batter's box, if you pray, then you start praying. And if you don't pray, you think about starting."--Brian Bannister
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
"Albert hits good pitches hard and bad pitches even harder. And when he gets in the batter's box, if you pray, then you start praying. And if you don't pray, you think about starting."--Brian Bannister
I think the pitching calls were all good
until the bases were loaded.
Should have gone to Smoltz there IMO.

You always want to leave a future HOFer in your bullpen
that’s just good managing… duh
"The Cards lead this game tied 1-1." -Mike Shannon
now that's a different argument than saying Wainwright should have gone for the CG
after the E7, I had that same thought—uh oh, maybe Tony better go get Franklin and bring in Loshe/Smoltz.
Agree with this
Once Loretta got a hit (Stockton said he was 0 for 15 vs Franklin), probably should have made the move.
Run Vince run! There's a tarp chasing you! Run! It's right behind you!
umm
game was over after the loretta hit
"Albert hits good pitches hard and bad pitches even harder. And when he gets in the batter's box, if you pray, then you start praying. And if you don't pray, you think about starting."--Brian Bannister
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.
"It was like two ankles." AVENGE BOOG
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear." - THT
It wasn't the worst thing that could have happened
Loretta – 0 for 15
Forceouts all around
Did look like a pitcharound.
Run Vince run! There's a tarp chasing you! Run! It's right behind you!
right
and what spants said. I mean, the guy was fouling everything off. I watched ‘em bail before, and it’s worked. It’s not like a K-Mac walk.
"It was like two ankles." AVENGE BOOG
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear." - THT
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.

Just one thing
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).

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.

Wainwright was just flat out DEALING
if nothing else, I’m glad I got to watch that. He was as ballsy as I’ve ever seen him. I thought he did get some gift calls from the ump on a couple occasions, but really, the Dodgers can’t just stand there and not swing the bat against a guy who’s mostly hitting his spots.
Other happy thoughts….who says Rasmus can’t hit southpaws?….Holliday did in fact hit a homer….Ludwick & Lugo had nice defensive plays….DeRo and Lugo had some hits….

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.

I never knew Dodger fans were like Philly fans.
"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.

Hmmm
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.”
"I believe he’s been reincarnated, that he played before, in the twenties and thirties, and he’s back to prove something."
In fairness...
they couldn’t fill the stadium so they probably don’t have the best fan base to draw from…

Oh my god, RIGHT?
There were SO MANY empty seats. We have better numbers for DAY games during the WEEK during the regular season.
Ugh. The whole lot of them make me sick. It’s not sour grapes. We blew it today. But I shouldn’t have to be nervous about returning to a stadium for a second game because I had to call SECURITY during the first one I attended.

I walked...
I live right by Dodger Stadium, on Figueroa Terrace We basically had to walk around the big hill to the other side and were at the game.

Pearl was an Asst. Coach at Iowa...
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…

I saw a clip on MLB network later that night
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.

On the other though, it means there’s time to watch an inspirational movie to see if I can avoid the cry to sleep.

by jd is legend on Oct 9, 2009 12:02 AM EDT up reply actions
hah,
that’s pretty much why I was asking. One of my friends’ FB status basically ran through all the combinations of possibilitites for Mizzou, Blues, Cards tonight and concluded that—although unlikely—he’d basically have to crawl into a corner and die if all of them lost. Little did he know…
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.
No, but there is this:
comments such as “FUCK YOU LA RUSSA !!!” or “You moron Tony! You couldn’t manage a little-league team!” are infantile ravings. a comment like: “Can anybody explain to me what the hell Tony was thinking there?” would be an acceptable expression of frustration - the sort of thing a grown-up might say. before you blast away with a critical post, ask yourself these questions:
what is my true motive in posting? there’s a difference between making a critical point and pounding your fists on the floor. if all you have to offer is the latter, do not post.
"I’m going to come after you." - Chris Carpenter
I used no profanity in that post
and I suggest that you get off your high horse. What I said was completely harmless. Of course, we would all feel terribly if there was such a tragedy as a plane crash. 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.
But now that I realize how many on this thread were apparently offended by my statement I will refrain from saying anything of the sort in the future.

I didn't actually stay and watch the long torturous minute of TBS focusing on him
but he had his head in his hands, and he was fidgeting between that and wiping his face. pretty raw emotion.
then TBS zoooooooomed in — instead of any of the dozen other working cameras — and I lost it and turned it off.

it has annually overvalued closers.

I’d jump on 5Y/90M or 6Y/108M in a heartbeat. Problem is going to be that he wants 7+@22M or more.

I think we'd be ecstatic to get Holliday on the cheap
but given the dearth of big FA names and his agent, its just not going to happen. We realize we’re still a small-market team with a limited payroll…we just won’t be able to sign him for the kind of money he’s going to get without hamstringing ourselves for years to come.
He would be a good fit for the Giants.
But Im almost positive it wont happen. An if it does, I know our GM will pat way too much.

the offense needs to quit choking with runners on and win the game on saturday, throw carp on 3 days rest on sunday then waino in game 5 on normal rest. smoltz is our closer. frankilin has been too ineffective for too long now. too bad tony will never cut the cord
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.

"How depressing is it being you? Would you equate it to being a lifelong Cubs fan?"
Thank God I was at work tonight during the game
If I were home…I’m not sure what I would have done but I would have probably broke something and got in a huge yelling fight with my wife (who gets really pissed at me when I get mad and yell during a game).
Listening to the sports talk radio shows….they are making Holliday out to be this generation’s Bill Buckner. If this were the World Series yeah I could see that…but it wasn’t.
Now that I am more calm all I can think is that this team is snakebit and it’s pretty obvious we weren’t meant to win. Not sure what to say but I guess the Dodgers are getting their payback for 85 with Smith & Clark’s magical HRS.
Boy a frosty cold Budweiser would be great about now"…long pause…then an "aahhh". --Mike Shannon
I think I tore a shoulder muscle throwing the remote last night.
But hey, if I can get this pissed off consistently, I’d make a damn good closer. That thing went mid-80s easy.
The combination of...
the Cards fumbling Game 2 away, the Blues losing in their home opener right after unveiling that gorgeous statue of Chopper, and Mizzou getting beat around by the Cornholers might possibly have made last night one of the worst sports nights that I can remember.
On the bright side, if the Cards get the boost from the sea of red in Game 3 and take it, the momentum can shift fairly quickly in a 5 game series. No, this isn’t going to be easy…but a legendary Yogi Berra quote always comes to mind in moments such as this.
