The Cards, on the other hand - we'll see how things work out for them. Currently down, but lots of baseball still to go tonight.

Sorry Louis, Bum was on tonight.

Yeah - good game (again) for him. He's a stud.

Our defense let us down and Waino's probably worn out.

But they're always tomorrow. Well, at least today there's tomorrow. It will be a must-win for us, otherwise we're in serious trouble.

Edit: But that was a balk.

Umps must have been taking a collective mental vacation to all miss that. He about fell off the mound.

No he did an awkward studder step then signaled for Posey (to hide the balk) that kinda confused the umps I think , in retrospect they probably wished they called a balk. Not that 3-1 would have made a whole lot of difference at the end. Looks like the homeplate ump starts to raise his arms then hesitates. Ole Bum is a pretty sly country boy.

Wow, what a game. Back and forth.

In the top of the 9th our horrible "closer" allows the tying run to score from 2nd on a wild pitch and the replacement catcher (Molina out with an oblique strain) is unable to frame the pitches but Kolten Wong hits a walk-off home run in the bottom of the inning and we go to San Francisco all tied up 1-1.

wow, love October playoff baseball. Even if the bums from the 2 teams I follow weren't even close this year. (Colorado and Cleveland-bums)

I really like to watch Moilna..hope the extra travel day heals him enough..he's a tough bast__d.

[bobswire]

Good game, kinda what I expected between these two.

walk, wild pitch, take two bases, score a run:

I guarantee the Cards won't hit three home runs to right at AT&T.

That's OK, we also have righties who can pull the ball to left.

I was yelling at the screen to take Hudson out, they figured him out. But no, Bochy leaves him so they tie the score. I wish there was a way for me to have been able to communicate with Bochy,Id of saved him two runs.

I haven't been following the game much, but it looks like another stomach-churner.

Free baseball !!!

Screw all you people with teams that actually produce. I am not devoting next Summer's evenings to Tiger's baseball.

Won't be fooled again.
