And then there is this.............

Trevor Rosenthal had just 19 "clean" outings out of 75 appearances this year.

I've wanted the i-70 series all along. I don't mind the Cardinals at all unless they are playing KC Hope both teams pull it off.

You just want to see if we can melt down the Planet's Server.:Poke:

I found this information surprising. Some Hall of Fame players never make it to the post season or only make it once.

Yadi Molina has played in 83 post season games in his career so far.

Derrik Goold is on STL radio saying he has been told that AJ is starting the game at catcher.

He was right. I am predicting a big game from him.

Good luck today Gents.

He is motivated.

You guys hear that AJ got thrown out of a game this year while he was with the Red Sox?

He needs a new ball. He turns around and says to the umpire "Give me one you can ****ing see". Ump immediately ejects him.

Lackey leaving everything up.

We just cannot ****ing win in SF

At least we got it over with early so I don't hafta waste my afternoon.

That was probably catchable but the wind knocked it down. Tough read.

Well... ****.

That was a catchable ball.

Bad News Bears defense is back ala 2012.

That is an extremely hard OF to patrol, but that's a play that just has to be made. That's a three run miscue.

Lackey's control definitely was not there that inning, but Pierzynski was also calling several pitches up.

With this HP umpire, that's probably too much to overcome already.

I thought Randal was suppose to be a good outfielder.

If Lackey doesn't get the ball down its only going to get worse.

Grichek should have had that ball and it would have been a 1 run game.

It's only the 1st inning and Hudson can give up a bunch of runs when he doesn't get that outside corner and you lay off that slider out of the zone.

I don't think OT could have done any better with that fly ball.

Two straight balls scorched. Just keep putting good swings on the ball. They are going to need some hit sequencing today, because I don't know if anyone other than Holliday on a dead pull can hit it out of this park

Well, at least we won't get no-hit. :)

Yeah a line drive down the left field line below the majority of the wind is about the only ball that's getting out today.

Not a great zone for us so far.

The wind actually kept it from bieng 5-0.

They are going to have to be patient if they want to get back in this. You are going to just have to take some strikes on the outside corners and lay off that pitch that dives way out of the zone.

Make him come back over the plate and then they will kill it just like Wong did. Patience will be key. Don't try to get em all back in one inning. One AB.

When Tim Hudson is battling and centering the ball, it might not be a long day for Lackey. Gat damn.

Normally, I'd agree, but this HP ump isn't going to let them be patient.

This zone is a ****ing joke. Just blew B2B calls, one to help us, one to hurt.

Pitchers umpire thats for sure.

Really??!!! Seriously??!!!

8 innings to come back? After all the times this team has come back in just a few innings this postseason? 9 runs against Kershaw? Beat closers? Hudson ain't Kershaw.;)

Grichek needs to learn to go to RF with those outside pitches.

This is approaching Eric Gregg levels.

I haven't heard that name in years.:LOL: But, both AJ and Lacke have adapted to the strike zone. Hopefully the hitters follow.

Come on Peralta do something this postseason

Pence just did the same thing Grichuk did. 99.9% of people would probably struggle to stay with those fly balls.

That ball did the same thing to Pence. I think Grichuk can be forgiven.

Got two back. Nice rip, Wong.

Wong ROFL

Wong does it again. Homer, Double, Triple in his last 3 AB's.

Yeah you can't blame Grichek now. Pence has been playing RF there for 2+ years right? He looked more lost than Grichek.

Good to know. I am listening to the radio so haven't seen the plays.

Pence was way off from where the ball came down. Broadcast called it 30 yards away from where the ball actually came down. At least Grichek was in the area.

Just hit the ball into deep right field and queue the Benny Hill music today.

That was big.

Gotta do something with that gift.

Mother ****er.

Sorry, but nice toss to 2nd by Hudson. Looked pretty.

The old men are setting down

Just need 1 of these games to get it back to St. Louis.

Can't bitch about Carpenters performance at the plate this post season. Funny game, you fail 7 out of 10 times your hall of fame material.:)

Does anyone feel like we are out of it? We are going to get more against Hudson. Just a matter of time till we put a hit or two together. The hitters have adjusted.

Holliday back to mashing the ball into the ground again.

Holliday and Peralta are not producing with any consistency this postseason.

Come on Peralta just a base hit.

Jay and Wong from turds to postseason heros...Cardinals.

Okay I'm going to bitch about Peralta before every one of his AB's.

I wouldn't call him a turd. He has had a decent year.

Get some cold cuts, get some more runs, get some cold cuts

Me wuv you Wong time. Let's do this!!!!

LMAO

Earlier in the year this board wanted him drawn and quartered

Because he was absolutely horrible last year. This year he has been a productive player.

You think Hudsons wife knows he's a choker? lol

Like I said from turd to postseason hero

Jon Jay was horrendous in the playoffs last year. Grichuk at the plate, Holliday in the field bad. At this point, he's been our best player.

Wongs dong will be wearing her out at the end of the night too

Damn that first inning. Lackey has been nails since.

And for as bad as he was, Pence and Sandoval hit pitches that weren't all that hittable.

Lackey getting FCC'd on that 0-2 pitch to Babe Ruth Ishikawa.

They might have been out of the strike zone but they were up. I think the Giants hitters saw that and just waited for one to hit.

Cards are the come back kids. I believe in yall!I dont care who wins as long as its not the Giants! lol

Im just happy we made some changes today in our organization! haha Looks like its just a matter of time until Donnie is gone! yessssssss

There's some ****ing redemption!

BOOM!

haha, you all just continue to amaze me with this comeback shit. Whats even crazier is they are almost all on home runs

**** YES

Grichuk you are definitely forgiven.

Later Hudson.

Okay, I was premature... :doh!:

Turds hitting bombs all over the place ROFL

Thats what they do. Its just ****ing insane that its happening like that. Its un****ingreal. The probability of them coming back with nothing but home runs like that has to be off the ****ing charts. winning the lottery type shit.

Gutty performance by Lackey

Jewish Rabbi probably would've enjoyed this...too bad he gave up after the first inning

That's what October Baseball do. There is nothing better.
