NLCS Game 6 Thread: Oct. 18 @ Cards, 5:30p


Clayton Kershaw (0-1, 0.00) vs. Michael Wacha (1-0, 0.00)

So...what's left to say? Zack Greinke and the suddenly-powerful bats bought us one more game. We know Kershaw's ready. We know Ethier's...something. If the bats from Game 5 made the trip to St. Louis, then maybe we can keep this crazy show running.

There is the little matter of this:

Then again, it's been pretty clear from the last two games that Hanley just can't go. If he saves all of his mojo for one key AB, that might be the best use for him now.

Clench your butts, grab your drinks, and enjoy your anxiety, everyone, because...

This is not looking good. Either Kershaw's arm falls off or we go to the bullpen early.

Paul said...

Damn. I got a bad feeling about this...

Hideo Nomo said...

spank said...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Orel said...

SHIT SHIT SHIT

Fred's Brim said...

that'll do it

Fred's Brim said...

could have had that ass at second too

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Puig with a mental gaff

karina said...

people have scored runs off Kershaw before, no big deal

Fred's Brim said...

tough play but the Cards would have caught that

Hideo Nomo said...

Karina's here? Never mind, we're good.

Dusty Baker said...

Kersh missed his moment. At least we'll be able to pay him less next year bc we can go to the "You ain't clutch in the playoffs, kiddo" well.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Going mobile. Off line for awhile

spank said...

Throw at his head!

Paul said...

Get out of this with one run.

Fred's Brim said...

Cmon, Clayton

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

At leAST That was real purty

Fred's Brim said...

@Neeebs good idea, think I need to step away for a bit too

spank said...

Not enough cork in that bat.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

One of my best friends work for the Cards. Got two WS Ring swith them. But right now, I only feel hate for this team

BJ Killeen said...

Next inning we come back with 3 runs

Delino DeShields, Sr said...


There's no place like home
With your family around you you're never alone
When ya know that your loved
You don't need to roam
Cause there's no place like home

Time's are changing everyday
We won't get by with the same old ways
No-oooo pulling together will make it right
With help from are friends I know we can right

Cause there's no place like home
With your family around you you're never alone
When you know that your loved
You don't need to roam
Cause there ain't no place like
Better believe it
I said their no place like home
"I mean no place child" .

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

I think my kid grew a foot since this inning began

Dusty Baker said...

Just like the old days, double D.

Paul said...

This might get ugly.

Orel said...

Well, it was a good season.

Dusty Baker said...

@DD

have that third foot removed

spank said...

rage

Dusty Baker said...

buh bye season. it was a fun run.

come on, you red sox!

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Molina might get victory eyebrow waxing

Hideo Nomo said...

Ugh.

Paging Dodger offense. Dodger offense to the floor, please.

karina said...

it ain't over 'till it's over

Rookie For Now said...

I'm more tense because those smug-assed beezo-bird fans don't deserve good things...

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

FYI Auto correct on iPHone for Kershaw is Jew Hats

Dusty Baker said...

63 pitches for Clay, still in the 3rd. Fail.

Paul said...

Wow. Haven't seen him miss this bad in awhile.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

As pissed off as we are, the guys at FOX are even more annoyed.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Why is Dwight' Schrute's ccousin MOSE up at bat.

Orel said...

Cy Young is gassed.

spank said...

Sack up

karina said...

the good thing out of this walk is that the third out is in every base

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

I actually just said UGH out loud
Like a fucking Charlie Brown character

Orel said...

No visit to the mound?

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Sorry for the swearing. My kids are in ear shot

spank said...

Sack down

Orel said...

This is death.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Maybe a visit to the pound.
Say it aint So, Kershow.

Rookie For Now said...

Just one pitch to Robinson's ribs....gawwwddd....

Paul said...

Cy Young is looking more like Neil Young.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

80 though 3 innings.
egad.

Hideo Nomo said...

WHAT THE FUCK, BASEBALL GODS?!

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Neil Young is looking more like Neil Sedaka

spank said...

a run an inning. we can do this.




(cries)

QuadSevens said...

Lets get a couple back here boys!

Orel said...

Crawdaddy leadoff walk. False hope!

Paul said...

Why is Ellis hitting second still?

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

blurgh

Rookie For Now said...

Ellis reading from the Michael Young playbook, I see...

Hideo Nomo said...

I...don't feel so good.

Orel said...

A Cardinals-Red Sox World Series might be the most uninteresting matchup ever.

Paul said...

I don't think i have ever turned a big game off early but between the Dodgers bats and the Puig hate and this umps zone I'm want to but I'm trying real hard to be the shepard Dodgers.

Rookie For Now said...

Would love to see Puig work on his discipline some more.

Dusty Baker said...

Es verdad, Rookie.

Rookie For Now said...

The Puig hate is depressing...I want that kid to succeed so badly.

Orel said...

Twitter is the unhappiest place on earth right now.

Paul said...

Got lucky there.

Orel said...

1-2-3 4th for CK.

Paul said...

Okay boys. Show some balls.

Dusty Baker said...

(shows balls)

Paul said...

Now someone get a marker! Quick!

Rookie For Now said...

*shows ron cey autographed ball*

Orel said...

Wacha only has 3 K's.

Dusty Baker said...

Wacha has a superfluous third nipple I hear, too.

Orel said...

No nipple is superfluous.

Orel said...

Wow, Puig is Puiging all over the place.

Dusty Baker said...

I want to Puig on Beltran's mother.

Rookie For Now said...

Matt Adams reminds me of a kid who went to the same elementary school as me...he ate mayonaise sandwiches every day for lunch.

Bread...big glob of mayo...bread.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...


I'm off to dinner with my inlaws.
IF this is our last game...

Let me just say it was a privilege playing with you tonight,

(Puts cello down)

Orel said...

1st & 3rd, no out. Don't see Kershaw escaping this inning.

BJ Killeen said...

Physically sick, literally. I guess the booze and Velveeta dip together did me in. In bed listening to the radio. It doesn't sound good. Not gonna lie to you, boys.

Orel said...

Official time of death: 7:19 PM PST.

Orel said...

We all feel like we ate bad Velveeta right now.

Alex Cora said...

Now we start to plunk them in the ribs.

Alex Cora said...

Drill them all fricken cheaters.

Rookie For Now said...

Those Cardinals fans better be respectful to Clayton when he walks to the dugout, so help me God...

Orel said...

Nope.

spank said...

I'm going to do a handful of blow and forget about today.

Orel said...

Damn, Clayton just moldering there on the bench.

Orel said...

Mellis botches the custom-made DP.

karina said...

Not ready to give up the season yet

Rookie For Now said...

I was looking at the BestFansStLouis Twitter feed the other day, specifically at apicture of a middle finger gesturing at Yasiel Puig, and I thought two things:

1.) "A Missourian took his finger out of his butthole long enough to take a picture."

2.) "Bet that's the first time that finger has seen daylight in a while."

Orel said...

That shot of Clayton in the dugout was heartbreaking.

BJ Killeen said...

Good luck with your next team, Andre. Thanks for all the hits and HRs this post season. And thanks Donnie for all your crapitude as well.

Orel said...

It makes so much sense that A.J. crushes it...and misses a HR by two feet.

BJ Killeen said...

Someone better get to Dusty's house and help him start patching the holes in the walls.

Orel said...

This still isn't as bad as the Matt Stairs game.

karina said...

@Orel this game is just bad, that Stairs game(s) were BRUTAL

BJ Killeen said...

What's Gibby doing right now?

Paul said...

Really glad we will have a new second baseman next year. Still will probably lose the division but hey.

BJ Killeen said...

When's spring training?

Dusty Baker said...

Should I go ahead and post the GDMFPGT, friends?

Dusty Baker said...

This is what it feels like when doves cry.

Orel said...

Why am I still watching this?

Orel said...

Note to Sax: time to wash that shirt.

spank said...

I should have gone with Neeebs to the 38 Special concert.

Orel said...

I thought tonight was Winger?

BJ Killeen said...

Yes Dusty. At least we can finish strong.

Orel said...

8+1 game. Here we go.

QuadSevens said...

Cardinals fans are dicks.

Hideo Nomo said...

Sorry I had to go silent for a while guys. Are we doing group hugs yet?

karina said...

At least I still have winter baseball to look up to and suffer with...as World Series I am concerned, I hope whatever team makes them to look incompetent

Good night, my lovelies

Dusty Baker said...

GDMFPGT up!

spank said...

That's a wrap.
