more like, outside of a few posters, where have all of these cardinal fans been during the season?

No clue, me and Yoda can't carry the load all season.

Guys, if we start posting now, NFL week 6 thread may not pass us.

sigh.

Quality over quantity, my friend.

 

[Syphon Filter]

cards are offensive beast.

 

[RobotHaus]

Kozma kicking in the jets. Boy is deceptively fast.

 

[clemenx]

Quality over quantity, my friend.

True.

Fuck the Cardinals.

 

[sangreal]

of course the "captain" isn't going to bother traveling with the team

 

[CygnusXS]

Sigh.

 

[LJ11]

Beeeaaaaaassssssstttttttt

 

[rando14]

LOL

 

[RumblingRosco]

I think... the fans at the game are pissed. This could be a very bad thing for the SF bullpen.

 

[clemenx]

You need to take your powers to a team I don't hate, Beltran

 

[Flo_Evans]

BOOM!

 

[RobotHaus]

How much longer will Bumgarder stay?

Edit:

 

[Raziel]

now seems like a good time to remind folks that the giants helped the cards clinch the wild card, the last couple of days of the season.

 

[see5harp]

Damn Mad Bum rocked. Terrible starting pitching from The Giants this postseason. I think I'm just going to go walk the dog. Worst Sunday ever.

 

[CygnusXS]

Yeah, like the Mets! He would be huge for them.

Remember which team with nothing to play for beat the Braves on the final day of the regular season last year to let the Cardinals into the playoffs?

Spoiler

The same team that was then immediately eliminated by them

[rekameohs]

Gotta love these cardinals lifelongs

 

[aFIGurANT]

Ah man this panda guy is priceless with his knee guard all askew and giant panda head fans in the crowd. Finally a chubby SF slugger we don't have to be a little scared of.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

This will be the first NLCS where both teams don't advance to the World Series. Quite an accomplishment.

 

[CygnusXS]

I hope the Padres make the NLCS next year so we can test the hypothesis of whether or not that team has any fans.

As cameras captured the Giants’ wild celebration, Selig frowned.

“This is something I am not happy about: spraying champagne all over,” he said. “I’m not a fan of that.”

Would he like to put a stop to it?

“I don’t know that we can,” he said.

You’re the commissioner, he was reminded. Of course you could.

“We could,” he said. “I understand that. It is something I have talked to the clubs about and will continue to talk to the clubs about. You want to have great celebrations, fine. But spraying each other with champagne is not that.”

Bud Selig always tackles the tough, important issues of the day.

 

[see5harp]

Whelp I guess a 2 out rally will get me to continue watching. Brandon Belt FINALLY decided to show up.

 

[RobotHaus]

Matheny, don't let Lynn stay in longer, the ghost of La Russa will haunt you if you do!

 

[see5harp]

Holy shit.

 

[clemenx]

6-0 Leads sucks.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Now we have a game!

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

This guy is imploding.

 

[RobotHaus]

I TOLD YOU!

 

[see5harp]

I love McCovey cove. You can just walk around there and stand basically on the field.

 

[Windu]

i can taste eznarks tears . Go cards!!

 

[CygnusXS]

So at what point does Lynn actually get pulled?

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Finally pulled him.

 

[RobotHaus]

So at what point does Lynn actually get pulled?

Two hitters too late.

 

[Carlbeego]

That's why you don't dance and jump around in the dugout.

 

[see5harp]

To think that was all started with a harmless single.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Los Tigres are going to have a field day with both of these teams.

Lord Verlander is out for blood.

They said that in 06, didn't they?

 

[Jack Scofield]

Well, that was anticlimactic.

Here's hoping the Giants don't proceed to give up four more runs to offset their gain this inning.

 

[Afrikan]

why did he swing at the first pitch??? *sigh* I would've rather him check his swing late and called for a strike than him following through when it was obvious not going to be a strike he was obviously expecting.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I don't know. Did they?

 

[VRMN]

They said that in 06, didn't they?

The Tigers and Cardinals are both very different teams now, but hubris against either St. Louis or the Giants is just asking for it. They're in the NLCS for a reason.

At the same time, so too are the Tigers. But I will take the Tigers' starting pitching against anyone in the world right now. Verlander is a far better pitcher than he was in 2006 and the rotation behind him is far deeper, the offense far more potent. Assuming they are pushovers is a mistake as well.

That said, counting chickens before they hatch. The Tigers are in an excellent position to get to the World Series, but they are not there yet.

 

[lazybones18]

I don't know. Did they?

Yes

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Yes

Things will be different this year. Evil shall be vanquished.

Is Timmy just being used as relief now? He's not starting a game this series?
