Another good game. This entire series has been great. It'll be interesting to see how Kershaw does on short rest. If I'm the Dodgers I don't want to face Wainwright on normal rest on game 5 without your ace out there
Look's Like Another Round Of L.A V St Louis is eminent

Then it's a good thing the Dodgers have 2 aces. Btw, Wainwright hasn't beaten the Dodgers in the playoffs yet. So, he and Kershaw have that going for them.
There are bandwagon fans for every team in every sport. I mostly shared that picture because it came across my Facebook, and I thought some people here would enjoy the laugh.

Mattingly could reach into a bucket of roses and pull out a turd.
Leaves Kershaw in too long, then pulls Greinke too soon. I posted before this series the pen would be their undoing. All their coaches should go frankly. Every year the O disappears in the playoffs (you would think Mac could get the concept of hitting the other way into Puigs head....they are going to continue to come up inside then pitch you away), the pen has been bad all year.
One thing, if the series goes back to LA (I dont think it will) and LA had to hit in the bottom of the ninth, I would have the grounds crew go out an put a big divot in the pitching mound before the Cards pitcher went out. Amazing to me the crap that goes on.

Also, this is nearly a repeat of the series last year.
I would think about starting Haren tonight. Kershaw came back on short rest last year and was not good. Haren is rested and has been pitching great the last month. Or at the very least if Kershaw has to get pulled I would go to Haren out of the pen. He is a smart vet pitcher that is not going to be freaked out by the situation. Certainly cant trust anyone out of the pen.
If you are not going to use these guys why carry them on the roster for the playoffs?
But, I am sure Mattingly will use no imagination, just lean on the rail working his seeds, managing the game like it is May 30th.

I'm more afraid of Carpenter than any pitcher. Is been hitting everything thrown at him.
The home run he hit off JP Sat was in well below the knees.
It's like everyone out there is playing baseball and Carpenters playing kickball.
I know he hasn't been hitting, but this still kind of surprises me.
Hopefully this is a plus for the Cards.

Congrats to the Cardinals and their fans, clearly a better team than the Dodgers. Good luck the rest of the way.
Great game, great series. Tip of the cap to the Dodgers, every game could have gone their way.
Now onto the NLCS

Survive and advance. Great job by the Cardinals getting after the MVP.
Agreed Broke. Dodgers could have tipped this series in their favor. It was close despite us winning 3-1. Hold your heads high Dodger fans. :cheers:

Happy I was completely wrong about this series. What a close series though. Four games decided by five runs combined.
Hoping the Giants win tonight because it's time for a little revenge.
Four straight NLCS appearances and nine in the last 14 years. Us Cardinals fans are spoiled.
