Astros are in game 5 against a decent Rays team but still a Rays team that has less talent than the Cardinals. Obviously I won’t be rooting for you guys and I think (doubt anyone here disagrees) the Yanks and Astros have much more talent than you guys, BUT you’ll be more than able to hold your own against any of the teams remaining and have as good a chance as any team to win it all.
Yeah, part of me wondered if this would happen. Now a tough, tough road to climb to win this thing with Scherzer and Strasburg up next. Sanchez was supposed to be the “easy” one.
Only slight positive is that it is a seven game series instead of five. Go Cardinals!
Always happens when Cards have a blowout win. Followed by complete puke games.
This series never gets back to st Louis. It was a great end of season run. In the off season this team needs to make some moves to improve.
I’m not throwing in the towel just yet. But you are right in that it’s very unlikely the cardinals win this series. They had to beat pitchers not named Scherzer and Strasburg to do that, in my opinion. No matter what, they are far beyond my expectations so no complaints here.
Ok, I’m calling it. There’s no life left in this team. The body language in the dugout after Ozuna got caught between 2nd and 3rd in the 2nd inning tonight was like someone had died.
Nice run, fellas. Would be nice to pick up some starting pitching and keep Ozuna this off season. We’ll see where it leads.

Good thing Schildt had that sweet speech after the NLDS LOL
And the Cubs couldnt make the playoffs.
And to think that the Brewers were a couple of keystone cops plays away from beating Washington - How would that have looked? I don't think we would have made it past LA - but it makes me wonder how you guys would have done against LA in that scenario. Anyway, I truly thought that you guys had the starting pitching to at least challenge the Nats. I really believed that you would win this series if it came down to the bullpens - guess that didn't happen (was surprised, btw). Congrats on a great end of the year run, even though I know the disappointment that follows after tonight's result (I was not happy for a LONG time after the game 7 loss to LA last year).
Thanks for the kind words. The only thing that makes me upset is the lack of competitiveness in this series. They didn’t just lose, they got swept. They didn’t just get swept, they got their asses kicked in every game. Even when the Nats only had 2 runs in the first, you knew it was over. It just felt like the JV team vs the Varsity. Felt a lot like the 2013 WS against the Red Sox. Cards looked like fools and the Sox couldn’t do anything wrong.
As I said before, they exceeded my expectations by making it this far so I’m not disappointed in the season as a whole. Lord I hope the hitting gets more consistent next year.
