Great. The Cardinals are still alive. You know what that means? There’s a Molina still out there. Molinas are dangerous in the post season.

Nice recap, Alex. Love the Fat Albert pic. If I ever meet CC I’m going to hug him and thank him for killing those doity stinkin boids.

Time to confront the boogeyman.

Re: Gardner, Girardi has decided he’s not ready to hit, but I think you still have to keep him around for defense if somebody gets hurt, and to pinch run late in a game.

I wonder if Strasburg will ever have the chance to participate in the playoffs…for the Nats.

Yep, and that region just lost both of their Cinderella playoff teams, too.

Note to Thelarmis: how about those two cute blondes in the Girardi post-game interview?

[19] Oooh, gag me with a pitchfork.

I stayed up and saw that tragedy. Two outs, two strikes, and the tying runs were scored on a hard grounder that deflected off the SS’s glove. He should have made the play. Then the double by the late call-up .200 BA minor league player (the Nats version of Bucky fuggin Dent), and the Cards had the 2 run lead. The crowd went from political rally happy to memorial service devastated in a matter of 30 seconds. The bottom of the ninth was an afterthought. The current world champions continue their try for the repeat. Happy times in St. Louis.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s Saturday moring and I just checked the scores.
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT….
The Nationals BLEW the Game and the Series.

After giving up a Run in the 8th, and,
with a 2 run lead in the 9th, they had TWO outs, man on 1st.
Then TWO walks!
Single…
SB… (which scored as the insurance run)
Single…

FOUR runs in.
Ballgame.

Imagine Sori pitching with 2 Outs and walking the next 2 guys.
BRUTAL!
Broken hearts abound in our nation’s Capitol.

Speaking of the Hardy play, did anyone else know he was that slow?

6-4.

This might just have been the best Division round of games ever.

Somebody forgot to put a stake in the corpse.

Cardinals are coming back …

[14] He did, but it’s clear that he’s now being used as a break-glass-in-case-of-emergency-only batter. If that’s the case—if that’s how Girardi will use him—hes wasting a roster spot.

[10] Didn’t Gardner have a hit or two near the end of the season?

[12] That, and the offensive ineptitude of the Giants.

[11] I like the historic resonance of Giants-Yankees.

[9] I wanna watch me some more Harper.

However, I’m rooting for the Giants in any case.

If it comes to SF vs NYY, I’ve promised myself I can fly up to SF and catch my 1st World Series game.

[8] Interesting. I hadn’t thought of a Dickery for Nuney swap. Still, at least Nunez can (theoretically) play offense and defense and run, but Gardner appears restricted only to defense and PR.

Meanwhile, Gonzalez imploded a bit and its now Nats 6, Cards 3.

I’m not sure who the better matchup is for the Yanks. I think it might be the Nats.

[6] [7] Forget where I read it, but the Tigers don’t have a lefty starting pitcher. Nune5 could be dropped in favor of Dickerson, leaving Nix as the BUMI.

Also heard that Nova or Garcia might be added if Joba can’t pitch.
