Very true. The main immediate goal is the Dodgers getting a game 5 win tomorrow against one of the best pitchers in the game. Then facing either the Cards or Braves won’t be easy either.
The Twins are such pussies. Look at every playoff team fighting hard while they rolled over for the 1000th time against the Yankees.
That was a crazy/fun game. I think the Rays are like the Nats in that they can take advantage of the short series, but will get worked over in the next round. Cole is not the same dude he was a couple years ago, but his track record in winner take all games is...ehhhhhhh
Seriously....the only reason I haven't been as sad as normal about our playoff Ls have been the fact that I believe the Yankees/Astros would smash us in a potential matchup. I think Houston crushes the Rays on Thursday, but if the Rays somehow made the WS after we lose to the Nats it would officially signal that the baseball Gods hate us a lot
Well, I'll tell you this, brother..the Rays made a great trade with those dumbass Pirates and we all laughed at the Pirates the second it happened. Rays also beat us out for Pham. SOBs. And then from our end..we sent Yordan away for a shitcan reliever and have dealt for guys with zero staying power because they were cheaper. Rays have targeted the right guys and gotten them and LAD has not. But we turn to Buehler, and he has the makings of a boss..it's on him and he probably wouldn't have it any other way
whoa.... The Braves have decided to NOT pass out their customary foam tomahawks for tonight's game after frustrations were raised by a Cards pitcher that is Native American. Fuck yeah... next step, killing that thing all to-fucking-gether
That's interesting. They've chosen to show sensitivity, or respect, to this opponent who is Native American, but have never thought it was warranted to do the same for likely many fans over the years with the same ethnicity, either theirs or of opposing teams? Personally, I'm in the anti-PC crowd because it's been taken way too far, but I'm just wondering how they determined this line that they've drawn.
Huge blowback after an article was written involving the Cards rookie. I guess the kid was not aware that they still did that and he was wholly offended. He grew up on a reservation so did not watch much baseball I guess. I've been annoyed by the PC police in a lot of categories, but the way we have handled the Native Americans in the county is appalling, so I side with them on this subject.
They will also not play the chop music when Heisey is in the game. What, 99% chance we get the loudest chant we have ever heard when he's in?
Lol All of sudden we're gonna have guys saying " hey, I'm 1/8 native american..this hurts my feelings..don't do it " If I'm the Cards' kid and I hear that chant, I think they're chanting for me and get pumped..focus on getting some fuckin outs. Good god. I remember back when this topic wouldn't even be raised 1) because you're not focusing on what actually matters in the game and 2) the opposing team wanted to make you uncomfortable. To highlight this shit just makes things worse..he will definitely hear the loudest chant since the '90s
