Like I said, Sox get a lucky start vs Waino....Cards leave Boston with one in the bag with Wacha's tie up of the Sox lineup. Did y'all see a difference in the bullpen's tonight?

Peavy vs Kelly for game 3 should be another good game.

The Cardinals came back last night doing what they have been doing all season long. Good pitching and timely hitting.

You talk about arrogant? Humble, I would say. If anyone is arrogant, it is that prick Victorino, what a jackass!

Y'all saw Wacha pitch tonight, 4-0 in the post season.

Bite me Boston!

Wait, what?!? I'm going to need some clarification here.

Sox win 8-1 and are "lucky" because 2 of their runs were unearned?

Yet the Cards win by 2 solely due to 2 errors on one play....and they're NOT the lucky ones?

Wow. Please tell me you're either joking or trolling because, if not, you need help.

Not really....not if you mean between the two teams. If you mean out of ST Louis alone from one game to the next, then that's different.

When did Maven take over crawdad's account? Are we only going to see you AFTER Cardinals wins?

If the shoe fits , then strap that boy right on.

Apparently you aren't keeping up either. Roh called the Cardinals arrogant.

Pay attention.

Gotcha. Didn't look that far back (two days ago, before game one was even played).

crawdad · 10-25-2013, 09:16 AM

I will be here win or lose! I have nothing to do with whether they win or not. I am just a lifelong fan. I didn't have time to post my serious concerns after the erroneous failings of the Redbirds in game 1. Wainwright worried me but I have a lot of confidence in their pitching staff. Too many stoopid mistakes and we got slammed.

Yeah Beantown...that was the worst start by Wainwright all season... I am dismissing it as 'luck' because I am a cards fan and cannot give Red Sox credit for their madd hitting skillz - just having fun. PS - the bad call by the umpire didn't help either.

Cards victory last night was earned as was Red Sox the night before but if you can't talk smack in baseball, you might as well go watch golf.

Cards have most team wins in the NL 3 times in the past 10 years...only the Yankees have bested them with having the most wins in the AL 4 times in past 10 yrs. Troll article by Rohirrim.

The red sox are just having fun out there. Beards!

It was the right call to be honest, Middlebrooks obstructed Craig, that is fact, whether it was intentional or not.
Just can't believe thats how the game ended lol.

rolandftw · 10-26-2013, 09:18 PM

I thought it was the correct call. Tough way to lose a game though.

wow, that's a tough call at third although I see the legs come up and really it depends on which perspective you have on that play. Interesting that both wins have been decided by errors - tough throws to third base.

Yeah, tough call, but the right call when it comes to obstruction.

Vegas_Bronco · 10-26-2013, 09:43 PM

Third base umpire does not see Craig struggling to get up and stumbling...as he is watching the ball roll (pic 1). He then turns in a split second (pic 2) and sees Craig getting tripped by Middlebrooks legs. Outfield umpire sees it as a trip also as Craig rises up to run and then stumbles back to the ground. It's the right call no doubt, but a tough situation for the defender Middlebrooks. Was he simply raising his feet to keep his legs clear of the base line (yes) - does it appear as interference (yes).

TheChamp24 · 10-26-2013, 09:45 PM

Yeah, tough for Middlebrooks there. However, he put his legs up right in the path of Craig. I don't know, just wonder why he raised his legs like that with Craig RIGHT there.

Rohirrim · 10-26-2013, 09:59 PM

The base line is wide open.

Vegas_Bronco · 10-26-2013, 09:59 PM

Tough night for Middlebrooks as he missed what seemed to be a playable ball on Holliday's double earlier in the game.

To the State of CO and all Rockies fans, I express my sincerest appreciation (2 for 3 and 2 RBI's)...Holliday Road!

Yeah, but its probably the right call. The rule states you cannot obstruct the player while not in possession of the ball or while in the act of playing the ball.

Technically the way the rule is written after the ball is past him he is no longer part of the play, if you will. But at third base and after diving to make the play how is the third baseman supposed get out of the way. Some may also argue that the runner shoved him to the ground, rather than falling on him.

****ty way to end the game for the Sox, but what can you do.

theAPAOps5 · 10-26-2013, 10:04 PM

Definitely a tough call to make either way:
