You might be right about Martinez being the only good option right now. But Neshek needs to figure it out because we do need him. You can't just keep running Martinez out there every game for 2 or 3 innings until his arm falls off.

It's the postseason. Today is an off day. They also have Wacha down there. Matheny had no issues with using Gonzales for two days in a row. I don't see why you'd go to Neshek first there. IMO, he should be the fourth or fifth option in that pen right now. He and Choate are really in case of emergency guys.

Ya I completely forgot about Wacha being in the bullpen. Bringing a starter in as relief can sometimes be a gamble since it takes them a few innings to get settled in but with Neshek struggling he was a better option.

Of lackey gets in trouble, you bring in Wacha. You tell Wacha to warm up as close as he can to a normal start.

Regarding the Wong miscue, that trick has been around forever. The umpires eyes are gonna be focused on the glove and not the ball. It's a damn fine slight of hand trick until replay went and ruined it.

Okay, boys. Let's take care of those Dodgers while we're at home.

I don't know about you Cards fans, but I think another Cardinals vs Royals World Series would be cool as hell.

I think we would beat them. Yadi takes away most of their running game being the main difference that our team could do that maybe the Angels/A's couldn't do.

Royals fans don't need to tone it down. You do. Paraphrasing, but comments like "Pujols in a Cardinals uniform doesn't miss that pitch twice" and "you have a chance to be great if you do things the way we do them" isn't supportive. It's throwing gas on a fire. Comments like those come across terribly, and perpetuate this "Cardinals Fan" bullshit that's been dragging this place down for the 9 years I've been here. Personally, I couldn't be happier for these guys, but it's easier to believe the BFIB bullshit when one of us is mentioning the Cardinals in their game threads. So, a suggestion: In Royals threads, stick to the Royals. Talk Redbirds in this thread. Let them have their moment, as they deserve it without hearing about the cross-state team. |

In all honesty I think the Royals have a better shot at getting to the WS than the Cards do.
We can beat LA if the past is any indicator, but the Giants seem to own us and it looks like they are going to beat the Nationals. If there were to be an I70 WS I would almost have to go to a game in both stadiums. |
