NLDS: Cardinals defeat Dodgers 3-1

[PonderinHog]

We're in a tight spot.

[jrulz83]

Thank Tom Verducci for that run.

[clutch]

Well dang. Turn out the lights. The parties over. Cancel game 4. Time to prep for spring training.

[dhornjr1]

Honestly I wouldn't take anything for Carpenter, if I got anything more than a bag of balls for him it would be like stealing.

I wouldn't take an autographed 8x11 of Tony La Russa when his eye was all swelled up from the shingles for him.

Wouldn't be fair to the shingles.

[dacskc]

Yesssssssss!!!

[clutch]

That was the Wong pitch to throw.

[dhornjr1]

Wong should be playing every day.

[jrulz83]

Dodgers bullpen:

[PonderinHog]

How did Carpenter make it to the bigs

[jrulz83]

How did Carpenter make it to the bigs

Severe oversight by a sham of an organization.

[popcornhog]

Wong should be playing every day.

He's one of my favorite players on this team.

[clutch]

He's one of my favorite players on this team.

I like him a lot too. I liked him last year when most were down on him though. Not real sure why I liked him then.

[dacskc]

Well, it's over now...our bullpen is the worst. It'll be like watching Odalis Perez pitch to Pujols.

Neshek couldn't get me out.

Neshek and Rosenthal especially suck.

[dhornjr1]

Other than the leadoff man, who we know he will walk, how many runners will Rosenthal let reach base?

Five? Ten?

They'll bat around at least twice in the 9th.

[dhornjr1]

They'll bat around at least twice in the 9th.

Sounds about right.

[dacskc]

Rosenhausen gonna blow this. Somehow, Matt Holliday will manage to drop a fly ball in left (even though he's not there).

Perfect name for him.

Rosenhausen.

[dacskc]

And here we go.

[PonderinHog]

Han Ram doesn't understand his role in situations like this.   

[dhornjr1]

Even money says Crawford drills one about 415 feet.

[clutch]

Getting too interesting for my liking.

[PonderinHog]

Bleepin bloopin @#$@#%^%&

[dacskc]

Rosen. Hausen.

[PonderinHog]

Even money says Crawford drills one about 180 feet.

IKR

[dhornjr1]

Rosenthal never met a jam he didn't like.

Seriously, has he had a 1-2-3 inning this season?

[dhornjr1]

IKR

I laughed.

[clutch]

Perfect name for him.

Rosenhausen.

Very very fitting.

[PonderinHog]

I laughed.

I cried.

[PonderinHog]

hey look, an arrowhead!

[jrulz83]

I laughed.

I cried.

It became a part of me.

[dhornjr1]

It became a part of me.

Like those Cubs jerseys?

[dacskc]

We need to get us a closer this offseason.

[jrulz83]

Like those Cubs jerseys?

Like Don Denkinger.

[dacskc]

  Ellis.

[clutch]

We need to get us a closer this offseason.

We thought we had one last offseason.

[clutch]

Whew. Exhale.

[dhornjr1]

Ellis.

Oh God...

[dacskc]

Thank you.

[PonderinHog]

Commence to breathing regularly again...

[clutch]

Too bad we won't get a hit for the rest of the series.

[dhornjr1]

Like Don Denkinger.

Every time I hear the name "Kansas City Royals", I see this.

So you'd rather not see an I-70 series? 

[dhornjr1]

So you'd rather not see an I-70 series? 

I'd rather see the Royals lose so much money that the team folds.

An I-70 Series is fine with me, as long as it's the Royals and Rockies in July interleague play.

And the Rockies are whoopin' that azz.

[pigture perfect]

Rosenhausen is only 24 years old. He's racking up playoff experience.
