    Fricking SF winning and Molina out for StL. Not that I would be happy with StL winning either. Just hoping for an AL victory in the WS because I can't stand the thought of another Giants championship

    The Giants are getting all the breaks here. Fucking Cardinals. Of course they're going to bend over for the Giants.

    He's good.

    They just found out a few years ago he has a syndrome that messed up his spine. So his mechanics are all out of whack. But the fact that he plays well enough despite it, make me think he's legit. Has to be hard to learn the outfield when your genetics are trying to fuck you over.

    You know, I'm watching this game, alternating between disgust and anger for both teams.....the Cards for playing like fools these past two games and the Giants for getting and taking advantage of all the breaks. At first I didnt know why I was getting so worked up.

    Then I realized it was because I still have this deep seated anger at the Dodgers. They lost against a sub-standard Cards team when they arguably should have won the series in 4 games, and had a chance to sweep if Kersh hadnt imploded in Game 1 and Donnie Boy didnt have the sense to put in a reliever other than Elbert to relieve Ryu who pitched lights out.

    I'm still angry Kersh couldnt keep a lead past the 7th with Greinke coming due at home in a 5th game.

    Still pissed that we couldve manhandled the Giants this year.

    Im angry at Kemp, Agon, Hanley, Puig, Dee.....who couldnt hit a lick and yet tried to score 5 runs on one swing.

    I cant stand hearing Donnie Boys excuses for being such a horrible game time skip.

    I cant stand Ned's face.....his obsession with former Giants and lack of urgency during this years trade deadline when you had a chance to go all the way.

    And the Guggenheim group better become the proactive ownership group we were dying for the past 20 years.

    I dont want to be the Cubs West....the Red Sox West before their championships. I want my kids to see a Dodger championship team. I want to see one last championship before I die. I want Vin to see one and call one before he hangs them up.

    Man am I pissed today.

    Rosenthal is terrible. I'd go Wacha as closer from here on out

    checking scores from smoggy south China... fuck I just don't care a lick about baseball anymore...

    pissed at DBB and his idiot moves... more pissed at Nedco for the lack of any moves... pissed at GG for taking the team close and letting DBB and Nedco ruin another season...pissed at the weak ass hitters.. though Kemp had one good swing I'm pissed at him too... fucking clubhouse cancer stick...

    At least KC wears blue .

    Yeah I mean it's easier said than done about hitting a 98-100 MPH heater; but the dude doesn't spot it at all. Plus, it's what he throws like 90% of the time. Pissed we didn't cause him to blow at least 1 of those saves.

    We came close three times and still failed 3 times. I was watching that ninth inning and before every pitch I was like, it's gonna be a fastball, and it was a fastball. that 90% is more like 95% of the time.

    Baseball is just so hard to watch right now...glad St. Louis evened things up, but I kept stop thinking that we would have beat SF comfortably and been WS bound. Oh well

    The loss to the Cardinals is still sinking in, and it's hard to accept. In some ways we dominated the series. Watching the Cardinals win with luck was brutal. Maybe I'm just bitter because we lost. I hate the fucking Cardinals, and the "Cardinal way". Their "way" for the past decade is to play in a crappy division and get lucky in the playoffs. And the media eats it up like they are something special.

    Hits + Walks
    Dodgers - 51
    Cardinals - 38

    Runners left on base
    Dodgers - 35
    Cardinals - 18

    In the two games Kershaw pitched the Cardinals left a total of 4 runners on base... in two games. That's an insane stat. It makes sense when you watched the games, as the Cardinals were basically dominated for all but 1 inning in each of those games. They had no business winning either one. Lucky pieces of shit. I guess we're the new Braves. Thanks, Stan.

    Except the Braves actually won a title under his tenure.

    One. It's a bit underwhelming for how dominant the Braves were.

    Well, I'm glad the Cards have no Molina, because now they will know how it is to play in post season without one of your major pieces...they desreve it. Like that team the LAD had to without Hanley Ramirez one time...remember?
    Good. 'Cause that's just the kind of guy I am...and if they still win, then you have to tip your hat to them, and spit in their face.
    And if they lose, may the Giants suck beyond FUBAR.
    But they won't because they possess the October magic. How this team winds up being the last survivor out of all the others, teams better than they, is a mystery. But they do. Lots of times.
    People who argue that Bochy does not get the best, even more than players are actually capable of, out of so many in the post season, must be a basketball fans or fans of some other sport...because they aren't watching too closely. Again. And again.
