Giants even years. Dream crushers.

You tried Harper.

You tried

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Cards vs Giants....

Isn't that what everyone wanted? Lol

 

[Branduil]

Baseball is such a sickening sport. Burn it all down.

 

[geeko]

Fuck yes!

 

[bigosc2k]

Good bye Nats

 

[Opiate]

Cards vs Giants....

I can completely understand why a lot of NL fans are less than enthused by this matchup. Giants and Cardinals have dominated the NL for the better part of a decade now.

 

[Branduil]

I don't know why I even watch this sport. Nothing I want to happen will ever come out of it.

 

[BFIB]

Time for the Cards to get revenge for 2012.

 

[NameGenerated]

That check swing call and those ball calls to Zimmermann in game 2 make me not happy.

 

[see5harp]

What happened to the Nats? Someone find the Dominican post.

 

[Windu]

should not have let Teddy win. The nats are cursed.

I'm almost pining for the days of those obnoxious Phillies teams dominating the NL.

Almost

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
Win on all runs unearned..... Giants baseball!!!!!!!!

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Holy fuck...SF needs to do a lot better with RISP to move past the NLCS.

I don't know why I even watch this sport. Nothing I want to happen will ever come out of it.

lol, don't you say the same thing every postseason thread?

 

[rekameohs]

Boring NLCS is boring

 

[ConradCervantes]

Woo fucking hoo.

 

[Afrikan]

Professional Baseball...only sport where managers and players don't shake hands with opponents after a game right? Also only sport where Managers where the player uniforms.. (besides O'l boy from the Premier League...forget his name..lol)

I remember when I was a kid, I had teammates spit on their hands before we would slap hands with the opposing team.

of course I wouldn't even fist pump, let alone slap hands.... I'd use my Glove.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

We didn't deserve this win but baseball gonna baseball.

 

[BFIB]

ALCS is going to be a casuals dream. NLCS is going to be fans' nightmare.

 

[Syrinx]

Nats arw out, which is good.

But that strikeout to Desmond was total clownshoes.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

We meet again, Giants GAF. Devil magic vs even year voodoo.

Here's to a clean series.

 

[eznark]

fuck baseball

To a clean series!

 

[lazybones18]

NL goes full retard once again. I pray that whoever wins the ALCS wins the whole thing

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Here's to a clean series.

To a clean series!

If Holliday barrels into someone sliding into second base again all bets are off!

 

[BFIB]

NL goes full retard once again. I pray that whoever wins the ALCS wins the whole thing

As much as I'm rooting for the Cards, it's really looking like either Royals or Os are going to get it. Both teams have a lot more to offer on offense.

 

[jbug617]

Is it true this is the first time Tim Hudson got past the first round?

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

It always amazes me to see baseball teams celebrate like they won the World Series after each playoff series win. Does any other sport do this?

 

[Dominican Power]

I'm not even watching The NLCS. Thanks a lot LA/Washington. Nationals lineup really stunk it up. SF doesn't even have great pitching.

 

[zroid]

NL goes full retard once again. I pray that whoever wins the ALCS wins the whole thing

I don't see any of the remaining three teams beating the O's, they are too good all-around this year.

Then again, baseball.

believe in the Royals!

Dont try to hurt our 2nd basemen this time around.

dude, America has changed...I don't know how it is over seas..

but in this country since childhood now, they celebrate anything....then you have people using Gatorate showers randomly EVERYWHERE and for ANYTHING....heck they do it in Baseball now too...WTF?

carrying a coach on their shoulders after a game in week 4 of the NFL season??

it's just ridiculous now....everyone's a winner...and anything is a special moment.

 

[Corran Horn]

Man cant wait for the nlcs to start

[EdReedFan20]

I obviously want my O's in the World Series (and win). But, I'm kind of hoping they'll be matched up against San Francisco. Since both teams are black and orange, they'd be playing the "Halloween" series in October, the month OF black and orange. Also, it would feature 2 of the 3 most incredibly beautiful ballparks (Oriole Park at Camden Yards and AT&T Park) in ALL of baseball (PNC Park being the third).

 

[Loco4Coco]

As a Mets fan I'm glad the Nats a knocked out. But I'm glad Harper played well.

Better than celebrating the right to play in the coin flip game lol.

Winning a playoff series is pretty special. Baseball is enough of a humbling sport - who knows when your team will get to this point again? Let them go crazy. Yes, I know the irony of this coming from a Cards fan but I hope the rest of the fanbase realize how special this run of success is because it will come to an end someday.

 

[brianjones]

the only thing i find excessive is celebrating making a wild card and then celebrating the wild card win

save it for the win

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Royals/Cardinals World Series would be interesting...

 

[JDHarbs]

Nice pic

Glorious.

Lol. Is he still wrestling? I want to get Wrestlemania tickets since it will be at SF but I dont know many wrestlers anymore.

well, AT&T is beautiful as it was influenced by Camden Yards (opened in 1992)....

took 8 years before other teams caught up.

http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2000-10-14/news/0010140139_1_camden-yards-stadium-francisco-bay

The stadium was fashioned after Oriole Park, which opened in 1992 and changed the way the world watched baseball. The resemblance is unmistakable, from the dark green seats and traditional ironwork to the brick facades and the barbeque stand visible above the bleachers.

"I think [Camden Yards] was a big, big influence," McGowan says. "It was the favorite of the new parks. We liked Coors Field and the new stadium in Texas. We also drew heavily from Wrigley Field, but Camden Yards had a big impact. The downtown vistas just light up. The brick and steel. There are a lot of similarities."

That is no coincidence. PacBell was designed by the same architectural firm, HOK Sports, that designed Camden Yards and most of the other new ballparks that have opened during the past decade.

"The timing of Camden Yards was fortuitous for our project," says Larry Baer, the Giants' chief operating officer. "It opened in 1992, and our ownership group came together in 1992. As we were beginning our planning, the opening of Camden Yards was very fresh in our minds."

HHH is filling in the Vince role now with his own corporation style lackeys.
