Screw Yuni and Morgan, go Cardinals!

Unlike an apparent majority of people, I have no problem whatsoever with LaRussa. I have problems with Yuni and Morgan. Thus, go Cardinals!

by Cascadian Man on Oct 16, 2011 5:01 PM PDT reply actions

I like Nyjer Morgan

by MilesC on Oct 16, 2011 5:25 PM PDT up reply actions

I agree. Cards all the way. They're much less obnoxious than either the Rangers or Brewers.

by Kyleo84 on Oct 16, 2011 6:14 PM PDT up reply actions

Please win Cardinals.

I’m so sick and tired of watching these Brewers.

by BigR on Oct 16, 2011 5:05 PM PDT reply actions

Fuck you, Yuni.

by Cascadian Man on Oct 16, 2011 5:08 PM PDT reply actions

Go to hell, Yuni

I am convinced that Seattle sports teams exist to make me hate Seattle sports teams.

Should have picked that

Yup, pretty clearly.

Probably wont matter

Okay, Holy Christ

What the hell?

by the other side on Oct 16, 2011 5:47 PM PDT reply actions

Ho hum.

These home runs are getting kinda boring now.

by truemsfan on Oct 16, 2011 5:48 PM PDT reply actions

And that's why you don't dive into first base!

by Cascadian Man on Oct 16, 2011 5:49 PM PDT reply actions

Ya dumb fuck

by truemsfan on Oct 16, 2011 5:49 PM PDT reply actions

Well, go figure.

by ThundaPC on Oct 16, 2011 5:56 PM PDT reply actions

I think they forgot to turn the gravity on at Miller Park.

by Cascadian Man on Oct 16, 2011 5:56 PM PDT reply actions

Even Lucroy's hitting jacks.

by drblacknwhite on Oct 16, 2011 5:56 PM PDT reply actions

Sweet Jesus

by Eyeball Kid on Oct 16, 2011 5:56 PM PDT reply actions

We get it NL, all your power hitters are in this game.

I am convinced that Seattle sports teams exist to make me hate Seattle sports teams.

by the other side on Oct 16, 2011 5:56 PM PDT reply actions

I thought the NL was known for playing small ball?

by truemsfan on Oct 16, 2011 5:58 PM PDT up reply actions

5 HR in 2 innings

My goodness, this could be a football score

by aussie_chop on Oct 16, 2011 5:57 PM PDT reply actions

Well of course.

Play faster my god

Yunibomber.

Yup

by BigR on Oct 16, 2011 6:48 PM PDT up reply actions

What the fuck?

by Eyeball Kid on Oct 16, 2011 6:54 PM PDT reply actions

If there's one team that has played like they don't deserve a pennant, it's the Brewers.

Jesus.

They are making themselves extremely easy to not root for.

by the other side on Oct 16, 2011 7:06 PM PDT up reply actions

I'm just rooting for a game 7. I don't think it's gonna happen.

by wazzu93 on Oct 16, 2011 7:10 PM PDT up reply actions

This is pathetic.

by drblacknwhite on Oct 16, 2011 7:06 PM PDT reply actions

They are just horrible.

by truemsfan on Oct 16, 2011 7:07 PM PDT reply actions

Wow, Rickie. That was amazingly terrible.

I am convinced that Seattle sports teams exist to make me hate Seattle sports teams.

by the other side on Oct 16, 2011 7:07 PM PDT reply actions

And that is a new post season series record.

9 errors.

@Goose1701

by Goose on Oct 16, 2011 7:07 PM PDT reply actions

Punt-oh?

That can’t be right.

by the other side on Oct 16, 2011 7:09 PM PDT reply actions

Getting bood in your own stadium during the postseason must be demoralizing.

so much for the electric fan base

by KTown029 on Oct 16, 2011 7:12 PM PDT reply actions

This may be the one time that I condone fans leaving early in a playoff game.

The Brewers are playing so badly, that I wouldn’t blame the fans for saying fuck it.

@Goose1701

by Goose on Oct 16, 2011 7:13 PM PDT up reply actions

The fans were the only reason I entertained the thought of cheering for the Brewers.

They don’t deserve this.

by truemsfan on Oct 16, 2011 7:14 PM PDT up reply actions

Oh shit Albert!

@Goose1701

by Goose on Oct 16, 2011 7:22 PM PDT reply actions

Weirdest playoff game ever.

by truemsfan on Oct 16, 2011 7:22 PM PDT reply actions

Oh no :(

by Cascadian Man on Oct 16, 2011 7:22 PM PDT reply actions

Sliding into first base needs to be an automatic 15 day suspension.

@Goose1701

by Goose on Oct 16, 2011 7:23 PM PDT reply actions

I agree.

It’s become an injury liability for everyone involved in the play.

by Cascadian Man on Oct 16, 2011 7:24 PM PDT up reply actions

Let's also ban sliding into any base, since it's an injury liability for everyone involved in the play also.

by Patrick Stites on Oct 16, 2011 7:28 PM PDT up reply actions

That was a scenario in which sliding into first base was OK

usually it just slows you down but Braun had a reason to try and avoid the tag

by seattlebruin on Oct 16, 2011 7:25 PM PDT up reply actions

I love how the Cards training staff made it clear who they cared about.

by the other side on Oct 16, 2011 7:24 PM PDT reply actions

Just. Just fuck you, Yuni,

by Cascadian Man on Oct 16, 2011 7:32 PM PDT reply actions

I can't believe Yuni is playing the best defence on his team.

by Eyeball Kid on Oct 16, 2011 7:32 PM PDT reply actions

I hope David Freese somehow works his way into La Russa's bad books

by Eyeball Kid on Oct 16, 2011 7:35 PM PDT reply actions

T

by truemsfan on Oct 16, 2011 7:43 PM PDT reply actions

Yuni didn't try for a ball up the middle, two runs scored?

I am amazed.

by msb on Oct 16, 2011 7:55 PM PDT reply actions

Ah well, fuck Yuni and fuck K-Rod

Let’s go Cards! Massacre the Rangers!

by Eyeball Kid on Oct 16, 2011 8:18 PM PDT reply actions

Sooo....Rangers vs. Cardinals it is then.

by ThundaPC on Oct 16, 2011 8:50 PM PDT reply actions

I just don't know if they can beat the Rangers.

Oh well, go Cards

I am convinced that Seattle sports teams exist to make me hate Seattle sports teams.

by the other side on Oct 16, 2011 8:51 PM PDT reply actions

I wonder if Brendan Ryan is thinking, "D'aawww, could have been me."

by wazzu93 on Oct 16, 2011 8:55 PM PDT reply actions

I feel bad for him.

Should have been Brendan.

by the other side on Oct 16, 2011 9:02 PM PDT up reply actions

Pretty impressive regardless of your like/dislike of St. Louis that a team can come from 10 back to win the Wild Card on the last day of the season and end up in the World Series.

by wazzu93 on Oct 16, 2011 9:03 PM PDT reply actions

St. Louis' last World Series team won 83 games in the regular season.

by ThundaPC on Oct 16, 2011 9:04 PM PDT reply actions

With Jeff Weaver pitching in the winning game.

The Cardinals do seem to pull off what would be considered impossible sometimes.

2011 Safeco Field Record: 1-0 ; Overall Safeco Field Record: 13-5
