DaRadniz29 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Yay Cardinals!! But now I'm torn. My grandmother who will turn 90 a week from tomorrow and has been a life long Dodgers fan. She can't follow baseball anymore. So even if the Dodgers best the Cardinals, I'll be happy. Though I hope the Cardinals beat the Dodgers.Pittsburgh was a tough opponent - Had the Redbirds on the ropes, but ran into Wacha and Waino.

Still MIGHTY Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Dodgers vs Cardinals? Yuck.Red Sox? Yuck.Detroit? If they win, I guess by default.Oakland is the only team I can say I like that's left. And even then it's not that much as a divisional/in-state rival. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Too bad the Yankees/Dodgers rivalry has essentially been relegated to history and I'm too young to harken back to that '77-'81 period, because I simply feel zero connection to hate that team.Since I'm 100% certain the Tigers will win tomorrow night, I'm left to hope for a Dodgers-Tigers World Series. Hey, that's two ancient teams who have never met in the Series before, so there's something to root for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittsburghsports16 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 It wasn't what I had hoped for, but I can't say I didn't expect it. Congrats to the Cards fans, and if Oakland doesn't make it, win it for Stan the Man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 No Lynn, please. Kelly game 1, Miller game 2, Waino 3 and Wacha 4, then back for Kelly in 5 if necessary. Him Waino and Wacha all pitch well on the road, Miller does better at home. Miller in 6 and Waino in game 7 if it gets that far. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 The better team won tonight. Still a helluva season from the Pirates. 94 wins, made the NLDS, took the Cards to five games. I can't complain. It was a really fun ride. So now what? Unlike...well...99% of the people here, I actually like the Cardinals. It was easy to root against them when they were playing the Pirates, but I don't hate the Cardinals at all. I have to admit that I'll be rooting for them from here on in.Now I'm going to run for cover.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waino in game 3, Lynn or Miller in game 4, and then if necessary: Miller or Lynn in game 5, Wacha in game 6, Waino in game 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 So now what? Unlike...well...99% of the people here, I actually like the Cardinals. You'd better shape up and become a sore loser real quick. Smug Nation doesn't need your sportsmanship-rearing bowing down to their pillar of greatness. I'm personally rooting for the A's because those yellow primaries need more exposure. Otherwise we're looking at a bunch of drab shades of blue and some red.

Hey sorry I'm the youngest person here by 15 years, but I don't remember when Dodgers-Reds was a rivalry. I remember when Cardinals-Reds was a rivalry and they and their fans are the biggest pain in the ass in sports so LET'S GO DODGERS. The better team won tonight.

Sport Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'm rooting for the A's because I love Billy Beane and it's time he got rewarded. Plus, best uniforms in baseball. I'm rooting for the Dodgers because f*** the St. Louis Cardinals forever. This is their 6th NLCS since 2004. Life's not fair. I hate sports. Sports are never. The bad guys always win.Contingency plan if the Cardinals win the world series again: First, vomit. Second, accept that at least they won a respectable number of games in the regular season unlike the (disgrace to the world series) 06 team and the (luckiest baseball team ever) 11 team.

TheGiantsFan Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Kinda disappointed that the Pirates are eliminated after Game 5. I was really rooting for them to go all the way. Oh well.Seems the Cardinals would be capable of eliminating LA in the NLCS.(It'd be kinda trippy if the Cardinals won the WS this year. Alternating between them and my Giants the past four years. Giants in '10 and '12 and the Cardinals '11 and possibly '13.) BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants in '10 and '12 and the Cardinals '11 and possibly '13.)As a Pirates fan, I had a really strange reaction to the game last night, not as disappointed as expected. The club really made a statement this season, destroying the losing streak with 94 wins, which was a big surprise. They're also young, have the probable 2013 NL MVP, a stacked farm system, a reengerized fan base, and a gorgeous stadium. A winning tradition as well, since only the Yankees, Cards, and Red Sox have won more world titles for their home cities. So at the end of the day, I'm more excited about the new chapter of Pirate baseball. Heck, even excited about what the new sleeve logo will look like.

Sport Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 It wouldn't surprise me if the Pirates are better next year, but it also wouldn't surprise me if they're the 2009 Rays, 2013 Nationals, 2011 Reds, etc.It takes a lot of things going right to get to 94 wins.

Kramerica Industries Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 At least they didn't do something stupid, like, shut down Gerrit Cole or something for the remainder of 2013 when a chance at doing something big for the first time in a long time was on the table.

STL FANATIC Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Cardinals should start Miller and Wacha at home and save Kelly for the road. Waino could start Game 3 and then be ready for games 6 or 7 depending on how they wanted to play it.I think Lynn is drastically underrated by many Cardinals fans. He's a good pitcher who has legitimately fallen into a lot of bad luck. Meanwhile, Joe Kelly is a fine pitcher who has frequently fallen into a lot of good luck. However, at some point, you have to admit that Kelly is more effective than Lynn right now. People are usually way to quick to start criticizing or extolling the mental strength of a player, but in this case, I think we've seen a large enough sample size to realize that Lance Lynn struggles in jams and Joe Kelly stays relatively even keel.So it's not the least bit of a shot at Lance Lynn. He's a good pitcher. But I think you have to go with Kelly over him in this series. Lynn then becomes a long man and a weapon out of the bullpen.Looking forward, I'd try to trade Lance Lynn if I were the Cardinals. He's a valuable pitcher as he's good and cost-controlled. But he's been a bit up and down with the Cardinals and they have the depth that they don't really need to wait on him to put it all together. So if they can get value back for him, I'd move him and wish him well. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
