    So you're telling me they shouldn't have started him? :p

    An absolute nightmare for A.J. Burnett....

    But the goal is to win one in St. Louis. Tomorrow is a new day!

    Still dislike the Cards even though the Astros are no longer in their division.

    I'm rooting for a Pirates-Braves NLCS just like in the 1990's.

    That series brings some memories from my childhood.

    Great way for Gerrit Cole to start his postseason career. Their #1 paying dividends very early.

    Kinda cool to see the Braves on TBS again.

    Ernie Johnson (huge ATL homer) is doing his best to hide the favortism.

    Another horrible call by an umpire. The inability to review calls is putting the legitimacy of the playoffs in jeopardy.

    Is Beltran made for the postseason or is he made for the postseason?

    I'm pulling for the Pirates. It's amazing they are even in the post season. They had a great year.

    It's kind of hard for me to pull for the Braves or the Dodgers, but I think I find myself pulling for the Dodgers when I watch the game.

    Another near no-hitter for Michael Wacha but just got taken deep.

    I can't wait to watch Kershaw pitch on 3 days rest tonight.. He is the greatest pitcher of the last 20 years.

    Yeahhhhhh, hell of an outing for Wacha.

    Both pitchers made only one mistake. Fortunately for St. Louis, they had a baserunner when that occurred. :mad:

    Wacha pitched a hell of a game. It's crazy how close that series is. Most games with that kind of pitching by the Pirates and that would have been a win.

    I'm not so sure I agree with pitching Kershaw on just 3 days rest. He's young enough that it might work out, but if it were my decision, I wouldn't do it.

    These games are all very close. Pretty good Playoffs so far. The teams are evenly matched. They are nearly 50-50.
