I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.
Congrats, Cards.

It's times like these that you look back at all the mistakes both big and small and you wonder how things might be different. The bad April Start, Frieri, that losing streak, the loss of Cutch...

Bruce Bochy has embraced the "gently caress it" nature of this game with the most "gently caress it" lineup he can dream up.

It's not like it matters at this point, after all. Might as well rest your dudes for the WC (except for Belt who needs the playtime, and Crawford because they probably don't have enough spare infielders).

Don't forget not pulling Alvarez from third base earlier and replacing him with Harrison

I mean it is not as bad as that horribly depressing game 4 years ago where the Reds no-hitted us, guaranteeing a 20th losing season.

Seems like Hurdle should wait until the cards game is over before announcing a starter.
