Holy shit.

I was wondering why Howard didn't run.

He may have popped an achilles.

They were not batting well late in the game -- pressure was getting to them, they needed to work the count more. Carpenter getting a complete game w/ his pitch count is unforgivable in a game five. Well it probably is forgivable, but I am not in the mood to forgive the Phillies at the moment.

Wonder if the Cardinals still do the alcohol-free celebration, in memory of Josh "first i drink, then i smoke (while texting)" Hancock.

I tried to find my exact pre-season statement, but my search function doesn't work either. I suggested the Cubs could steal the NL Central Division, not because they were good, but because the NL Central was that bad. The Brewers will face the Cardinals to go to the World Series.

Hmm, Brewers home-field advantage vs LaRussa's managing voodoo.

Cards were 4-5 at Miller Park this season, including a sweep of their final trip to Milwaukee at the end of August.

Stone pony agreed with you. Do you prefer radio or TV?

I posted this on FB & it is my thought right now:
Being surrounded by Phillies & Yankees fans, the schadenfreude I'm experiencing is my double rainbow.

The sense of baseball entitlement around here for the past few months was awful. Now it is awfully awesome.

I'm out.

Francona isn't bad in the booth. Too bad he has to sit next to Joe Buck.

I agree. I'm going to watch a baseball game on Fox and actually learn something about baseball. Amazing.

After that big call of strike three from Verlander, I'm pretty sure Michael Young said to the ump "you don't have to fucking celebrate it."

Stupid umpires.

What's the deal in TX? I thought they hadn't had rain in months.

It's rained in Dallas/Fort Worth literally 3-4 times in the past 4 months. It's been overcast for like 3 straight days now but I guess it picked the worst possible few hours to rain.

Ryan Howard ruptured an Achilles tendon last night and is uncertain for Spring Training.

That sucks. He certainly didn't do it on the swing. You see the pain of "I just lost the series," in his eyes. Oh, after that, the Achilles blew up. Against his home team. Shit.

Not sure that was intentional...

...and even if it was, why do the Brewers get warned?

Dumb.

what happened? didnt realize the game was on already

Braun hits a first pitch 2 run homer...next AB, Garcia hits Fielder with the first pitch...ump warns both managers.

lame. there is no way would do that with intent. the only one dumb enough to do anything this series is Nyjer.

Oh, and Garcia doesn't exactly have great control right now either, furthering my belief that it was simply a bad pitch...
