Fear and Loathing in St. Louis

I'm trying not to be too pessimistic about tonight's game, but it's tough. Watching the twin choke jobs the Cards have pulled the last two games, it's hard not to think this team may very well have saved one last big missed opportunity for the end.
I would prefer to be optimistic. I really would. I would like to look at tonight's pitching matchup and feel confident in Jaime Garcia. More importantly, I would like to look at tonight's pitching matchup and think there's no way the Cards don't get to Jeff Suppan Colby Lewis, but I just can't do it. Being shut down by Lewis in game two, combined with the lobster fest -- which sounds delicious and fun, but is actually miserably frustrating -- we saw against C.J. Wilson, has robbed me of the temporary euphoria imparted by the game three massacre.
The September charge and the October brilliance gave this deeply flawed team a chance to finally get it right. But now, with the finish line in sight, they seem to have reverted back to the midseason club that drove us all to the edge of despair. The Texas Rangers certainly have something to do with that, of course; this is a rather excellent team the Cards are trying to beat. But after game three, this series was clearly there for the taking, the Cardinals having played Texas into a hole of not insignificant size. All they had to do was shovel the dirt back in. Instead, two frustrating losses have put the Birds on the brink of elimination for yet another Wednesday.
I can get past the game four loss. As much as I think the Cards aided and abetted Derek Holland with an horrific plan of attack against him, I can also concede Holland is a marvelously talented pitcher who can be downright unhittable at times. You can usually wait him out, but you can't always actually hit him.
But game five really rankles. Wilson was just flat-out awful, and the Cardinals let him off the hook time and time again. They missed chance after chance to land a knockout blow and put the game away, allowing the Rangers to hang around until they finally broke through against the Cards' bullpen and their malfunctioning phone. (And their malfunctioning manager, but now is not the time for that discussion.) It was a pure choke job, plain and simple.
So here we are again, collective back against the wall. This team has played some of their best ball when facing down their own mortality, and they'll have to do so again if the quest for a title isn't to end tonight. They're certainly capable of brilliance, and the right pitcher could very well be on the mound tonight. As nerve-wracking as it often can be waiting for Jaime's next blowup, he's also capable of the kind of luminous, game-changing performance championship teams occasionally have to lean on.
I can't believe this team is going to win tonight. I am equally unable to believe the season is going to end tonight.
Go Cards.

Amazingly, both Theriot and Schu were probably actually worse.
Schu’s only a -4.3 fielder? HA! Theriot only a -5.6? HA!
In all seriousness, they are much worse.

Schu's UZR/150 at second this year was -10;
if anything, I believe he was slightly better than that. As much as his hitting has regressed the last two years, Skip, judging by eye made huge strides in the field this season.

We'll just have to disagree as to what we see with our eyes.
He looks terrible out there to me, as I have said pretty much this entire year on this website – every bit as bad as his UZR says he is (or worse). I did not see that he made any strides this year.

Consider the LOBster
my internal sabermetrician is begging me to remember that in order to leave men on base, you have to first put men on base. Which is a really important part of baseball! Like, the most important part! Clutchiness is a myth! Sooner or later those guys on first are going to stop disappearing in slapstick hit-and-runs and start coming around to score!
What is Corey Patterson doing in Tyler Greene's spot on the 25-man roster?

So many teams have come back from 3-2
It’s made me feel a hell of a lot better after Monday night.
Especially a team like the ’01 Diamondbacks that had two of the most soul-crushing losses of all time in Games 4 and 5 and came home and won in 6 and 7. (Helped that they had Johnson and Schilling on the mound but still)
Shake off Game 5 and just win two!
ESPN keeps reminding me that the Cards won 4 out of their last 5 WS when down 3-2.
So, hey!
Get one more great start out of Garcia, and then Game 7 is a coin flip.

I can’t believe how invested I am in this team. I think I’ve watched 90% of all innings this year. I have an irrational love of Adron Chambers, and a rational hatred of Corey Patterson.
My wife bought me a Do It for Torty shirt. I’m completely and totally invested into a team that had no business making the postseason, but now has no business losing to a team they’ve largely outplayed in the World Series.
I’m going to miss the hell out of baseball when this season ends. And probably miss the hell out of Albert, too. Please give me just one more night.
I will also miss the Torty Craig twitter
…whoever’s running it is doing a fantastic job. Complete with sufficient 80s Cardinal baseball and 90s-00s nerdy references, as well as enough adorable cartoon-ish things like sprinkle soaks and LOBster meals.
Can’t imagine they’ll keep it up during the offseason. But, uh…I figure it’s one of you. Great job, whoever you are.
Me too
Torty has cheered me up after every loss this postseason. I don’t care if that makes me sound like a moron. I’m still convinced that sprinkle baths, Berkman rapping, and World Series Claus actually happened!
Me three
This morning, at the end of the ‘TortyCraig’ tweet-story, “Oh, Hey Meng!” he said. “You got Doughtnuts?” I laughed hard and got that lovely warm baseball feeling that I love, oh so much… *GoCards!
"I don't know, but it works. Doin it for Torty works... He brings us luck and we're gonna roll with it." Allen Craig
I have also been quite invested in this team.
the Berkman signing started my infatuation. There have been such lows and such highs. For some reason, this season seems like a baseball movie to me. The run to & through the playoffs has probably been my favorite 6 week period of sports-fandom (just edging out MU basketball’s 2009 run to the Elite 8). I know we have a mountain to climb, but I believe we can do it!

enjoying the winning, but knowing, deep down, that they lucked into the post-season and it would end soon. Even game 4 I was able to accept without cursing/sulking/etc. Game 5, however, really got to me.

Yeah, I'm saying if the game is played.
The price of the tickets isn’t the issue for me — SRO at $290 plus fees right now, and I’d do that. It’s that it’s a weeknight and I can’t take a day off, so I’d have to fly down, race to stadium, stay in a hotel, then flight back up to Chicago first thing Friday morning. Stuff adds up fast.
Unfortunately
The correct answer is yes if they win Game 7 and no if they don’t.

I can actually understand this.
I’m 100% watching personally. But my dad always stays away from sporting events he cares too much about. He’ll follow it closely until the game starts, then do something else, find out what happened later, and watch a tape if it’s a win.
my mom used to do this
she’d tape games and only watch if she found out her team won. It made her too nervous to watch it live.
Me, I’m going to watch tonight ‘cause it’ll only be the 2nd game I’ll have had the opportunity to watch live (the other was game 3 so maybe that’s a good sign). I have usually gotten home between 8 & 9 and started the recorded game, not checking on current score, etc. so as to make it “live”. I wish I hadn’t wasted my time doing that Monday.

you don't have a problem. baking is stress-therapy

sorry, i did not mean to open up a big environmental debate here and i'm not really ready for it
but i would make an argument that you’re not counting the environmental costs of the persistent plastic bag pollution, seeing as most of them don’t photo degrade in any reasonable amount of time. if they all went straight from the consumer to the landfill, you’re definitely right (and you are by a carbon standard anyway), and if they all went straight to recycling, i think the answer is somewhat unclear.

Was in town for business and it was not good. It was ok at best. The ribs were very dry. IMO, it is impossible to cook a rib any better than Bogarts. I was a huge Pappy’s fan until Bogarts came along. Still love Pappy’s but Bogart’s ribs are on its own level.

The lesson here is: TRY BOGARTS in SOULARD (if you haven’t already. Skip Steele is pit master. I think that he is technically still the pit master at Pappy’s but I have only seen him at Bogart’s lately. The ribs are dry rubbed and smoked with Apple and Cherry woods. They then take this apricot glaze, coat and caramelize them with a blow torch. They are cooked to perfection where they pull from the bone with a slight yank but are not over steamed and fall off the bone. The are extremely tender and juicy. GO NOW before they run out of meats.

Well, actually it is
KC vs St. Louis style, for instance, is sauce vs rub.
Other “styles” are Carolina (sometimes N. vs S.), Tennessee, and TX – which are all different kinds of sauces.
So the only basis for deciding a style is that is uses a sauce?
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!' -- Whittier
Twitter
This is not correct
St. Louis style ribs is a way of cutting the spare rib so that it is squared off on the top. It has nothing to do with the way that the ribs are cooked. Memphis ribs are typically with a dry rub and sauce on the side. They are usually mopped with apple juice or cider or something that has sweetness and acidity.
KC ribs are usually mopped with BBQ sauce. They often have a dry rub on them as well.
Carolina BBQ is known for their vinegar sauce and pulled pork swimming in sauce instead of dry with sauce on the side.

Yes, KC ribs often have both
But you’re talking about meat. That’s also called St. Louis style ribs, but that’s different . It’s St. Louis style whether it’s BBQ’d or not.
When you’re talking BBQ, it’s sauce vs rub. It’s that way in BBQ competitions all over the country (though south of Missouri you don’t have much rub-only competition.

true, at the same time though as fans
i think its natural to look forward, and its fine since we don’t effect the game. but i get your point
Tony already said Carp would be available in Game 7 if played on Thursday
Considering it will be a bullpen game anyway, I don’t think the extra day will make a HUGE amount of difference.
I don’t want to have to wait another day for an elimination game — really want the game to be played tonight.
carp on three days could potentially start and go 6 innings (that's optimistic but still)
carp on 2 days is probably 2 innings out of the pen at most. i feel like that day is pretty big for him
i think the only guy that would would be carp if he has 3 days rest
but other than that, yeah i would agree with you.
yea,
too bad this weather didn’t slow down and rain out the Thursday night game. I guess a rainout either night helps Carp’s availability on Friday, but it will be agonizing having to wait another day. (Plus, I won’t get to see a game Friday night live, will have to watch it later).

I had to wait
3 hours for rain at the start of a NLDS game in 2001. Were they thinking about fans then?
Nope.
They were thinking about the drama that caused a World Series game to take 3 days to play sometime last decade. Can’t remember what series that was though but it was pretty controversial if I recall correctly.

MLB does not want a potential World Series clinching game postponed mid-game and finished the next day.

Game 5 (the clincher) of 2008 World Series
Started on Monday and finished on Wednesday. MLB will go to great lengths to make sure that never happens again
If this game were in New York or Boston
They would have said they expected to play in order to get everyone into the park, delayed the game for 2-3 hours, played one inning, and postponed it.
That way they’d get almost three (potential) full concession takes for two games.
Not saying that this is a creepy, unwholesome practice, but these are the type of organizational moves that contribute to being able to sign guys like Pujols.

5.) Casino – Lumiere or Casino Queen (take Metrolink to laclede’s Landing or East Riverfront, respectively).
6.) University City Loop – Blueberry Hill, Moonrise, Starclipper Comics, Vintage Vinyl, The Pageant — Marsha Ambrosius is there tonight (take Metrolink west to Delmar).
7.) Soulard — McGurk’s, Hammerstone’s, The Grizzly Bear, take your pick (take a taxi or a Tucker/Gravois or Broadway bus).

Is a ps3, battlefield 3, wireless headset and 3 month of playstation plus for 310 a good deal? It’s at best buy. I have to replace my dead ps3 and I really don’t want to get fleeced on a deal especially this time of the year.
Piss off Tony, get shipped to Canada.

yeah, its a good deal.
amazon sometimes has better, so I’d check there first, but that is basically $240 for a new ps3

Assuming the model of PS3 is the 160 GB (retails for 249.99) then you’re essentially getting the wireless headset and playstation plus free

i wonder how jaime's OCD is handling this...
actually, a rainout is probably better. he’ll wake up tomorrow (on a extra day’s rest) and KNOW FOR A FACT he’s going to pitch that night.

Game 6's Postponement
I think this is the best thing for the Cardinals. I was worried that Jaime would start the game, pitch well, and then be pulled after a few innings due to a long rain delay or be ineffective after returning to the mound after a rain delay. This would tax the bullpen heading into a potential Game 7 the next night where the hook on the starter would be very quick. I think this is a good development for the Cardinals because we now know that Jaime will start and won’t be removed early due to weather.

I agree.
And personally, even if I won’t be able to concentrate for two more days now, I am glad for the delay. Now this magical run will last just one day longer. One more day of baseball.

so the lineup is definitely
Furcal 6
Schu 8
Pujols 3
Berkman 9
Holliday 7
Freese 5
Molina 2
Punto 4
Garcia 1
three days of Allen Craig in the lineup makes me really want him in there every day
I know he can’t actually play CF or 2B, but I keep trying to convince myself he can.
What is Corey Patterson doing in Tyler Greene's spot on the 25-man roster?
He can probably play both positions about as well as Skip Schumaker.
His defense is likely close enough to Schumaker’s that, with Craig’s much better offensive skill, Craig is a better overall player at either position than Skip Schumaker.
I understand how low a bar I have set by using Schumaker as the comparison but I feel like Cardinal Nation has a very inflated sense of Schumaker. He is truly a bad player.

If you just stumbled your way onto Game 7 tickets
and it meant you had to cancel all of the Halloween plans you made for Friday and Saturday with your girlfriend (I live in Chicago)… how would you handle it?
She’s not a big baseball fan but she’s been incredibly patient during this playoff run (plus I dragged her to Milwaukee for Game 6 of the NLCS) and she LOVES Halloween.
This is gonna be a tough one…
Do you really have to ask?

They’re very helpful in compartmentalizing the groups that you follow. VEB, Cardinals, national baseball writers, etc.
