With the sweep of the douuble header Cardinals tie the franchise record for win streak at 14 set in 1935. A win today will make history. Go Cardinals!
WTF did they just call there? I thought they were saying that they messed up the infield fly call and said they didn’t call it but how did the runners advance. That is just a joke.
The umps screwed up that call and they knew it. You can always tell when they take forever to throw out a manager that is just hurling obscenities at them.
In the end it didn’t matter. 16 baby!
The 3rd base ump signaled infield fly, the replay showed him doing it. So the batter is out, and the runners advance at their own risk. But when they flip it to 3rd, would not have mattered, but the throw to second and the tagging the runner when he rounded the bag should have been an out. But you can see the 2nd base ump calling time, which he should never had done. Then they allowed both runners to stay at 2nd and 3rd.
They messed up, and the Cards were lucky to get out of it, but 16 in a row, magic number for the 2nd wildcard is down to 1.

Umpire provides explanation for wild play in Cardinals-Cubs
Umpire Bill Miller provided an explanation Monday for a wild sequence during St. Louis' 4-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs that added another layer of drama to the Cardinals' 16th straight win. A request was made for an explanation after Sunday's game, but a spokesman for the Cubs said it was...
What a run that was. Wish they could have put it all together a little earlier and competed for the central, but man that was something to remember. Hopefully we can pull a little more magic out for the wild card game.
Anyone else watching? Very tight/stressful game so far. Feels like we're just teetering on the edge.
It really looked like Waino was losing it in the third, but he finished well. Now it’s on the bullpen. Our bullpen vs the dodgers bullpen doesn’t exactly give me the warm fuzzies.
Justin Turner tries to hide the fact that he's bald with long hair and a headband.
He's also good at baseball.

It kind of feels inevitable at this point. Reyes will walk 2-3 batters and the game will be over.
Well, it was a weird season. I basically gave up in July. Cards made it interesting for the last month. See you in February.
I sure hope they agreed to split time between Yadi and Kizner. Yadi was obviously not at full health in the late part of the season.
Wainwright is sitting at 184 wins. If he gets like 10-15 next year and is sitting at 194-199, you almost have to bring him back one more year to get 200?
Really interested to see what the offseason brings. I think they need a lefthanded bat (MI or DH if that does indeed come) and a middle of the rotation starter they can rely on. Very excited to have Hudson back next year, he's older but I think his stuff and pitchability is right up there with Flaherty.
I could see the Cardinals parting with Reyes and DeJong and letting Liberatore be ready to be the 6th starter and Sosa/Edman to hold the infield down until Gorman is ready to come up and play 2nd. I think my dream offseason would be to trade Reyes and DeJong to the A's (they will be in sell mode for arb eligible guys) for Manaea or Bassitt and then sign Schwarber or Joc Pederson (more likely in the budget) as a DH. I feel like Scherzer will stay west coast but him and trading for a Polanco or other MI would be just as good.
