NLCS Game 6 Thread: Cardinals @ Brewers, 1 5p

"Thanks, Mike Scioscia!"

Edwin Jackson (1-0, 3.48) vs. Shaun Marcum (0-2, 12.46).

Who will face the Rangers in the World Series? The Brewers have lost only one game at home this postseason, but they'll have to win two straight to earn the right to face Texas. And Shaun Marcum, who had a solid regular season but who has been disastrous in the playoffs so far, has to show up today. Oh, and the defense can't make four errors. That kind of stuff kind of makes it harder to not lose.

Where's the game?

And, where's the beef?

Orel said...

Apparently the game starts at 5. Whoops.

Kyle Baker said...

When are we gonna play some motherfuckin baseball already? Got DAMN it.

Kyle Baker said...

Good thing I really want to watch this game or else I might have given up on trying to find it on the Telly. Jewish, and they wonder why baseball ratings are down?

Consulting firm of Baker and Sax could help MLB sort through this lack of consumer friendliness, and we'd do it for free.

They let furries throw out the first pitch now?

Josh S. said...

Jewish? Autocorrect?

Josh S. said...

Marcum ain't got it.

Orel said...

4-0 STL, still 1st inning. Ouch.

Kyle Baker said...

Great play for Marcum to get the runner at the plate out. He's a former shortstop. Unfortunately for the Brewers, he is not playing shortstop tonight. 4-0 Shards in the first.

Kyle Baker said...

How can a MLB pitcher be so so shitty at their job with so much on the line? I don't get to work and forget how to write a memo or talk to someone on the phone or look up information. It's like he's never thrown a baseball before,

Orel said...

Sunglasses at Night! 4-1 STL.

Orel said...

Home Run Derby! 5-2 STL.

Kyle Baker said...

I think the ball is going to carry tonight.

Kyle Baker said...

DAMMIT!

Orel said...

HOME RUN DERBY! 5-4 STL!

Kyle Baker said...

Shitty, 5th-starter derby!

Orel said...

Homer or go home. 6-4 STL.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Pitching clearly wins championships.

Kyle Baker said...

That's cool that TBS is doing this live look-in of BP. When is game time?

Orel said...

Freese's double hits the wall...he should get an out for not hitting a home run.

Kyle Baker said...

Good thing Chris Berman isn't calling this game, or he would have long since back,back,back,back-ed himself into a stroke.

Orel said...

9-4 STL. Trying to outdo the Rangers' 15-5 qualifying win.

Orel said...

Dive, Capt. Morgan, dive!

Josh S. said...

Front Row Amy's boobs look concerned.

Orel said...

Missed it by a foot, Prince!

Orel said...

Yuni RBI! 9-5 STL

Orel said...

Three errors in one inning. Wheels falling off for MIL.

Orel said...

Time for Braun & Fielder to go deep on Consonant Boy.

Josh S. said...

What happened to shitty Dotel?

Steve Sax said...

the Cards really don't want to win this game, do they

Orel said...

Shitty Dotel played for the Dodgers only.

Josh S. said...

Nice moment for Prince in what is likely his last pre-Dodger at-bat.

Orel said...

ha

Orel said...

Looking forward to the Brewers' seven-run ninth here.

Steve Sax said...

two more outs for St Louis to advance

seems like three more hours for my iPad system update to advance

Orel said...

PGTUP!
