That was the weirdest way to tie the game.

And... well, it's not that I mind the fact that the crowd seems to be heavily in favor of the Cardinals, but it's a little... I don't know, odd?

Have you seen the Diamondbacks? Would you really want to be a fan of them right now?

It's like the Padres Stadium, which is basically a home away from home for the visiting teams. Especially other NL West teams.

Tedd_Not_Ed: Feb 16, 2014; 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.

I missed it because I'm watching terrible football, what happened to Duffy?

Was he just yanked or did something go wrong?

Think he just got pulled because he didn't have much in the way of control.

You get a single! and you get a single! Everyone gets a single!

Even the outs are singles!

This applies to the Tigers as well.

Sorry, but I haven't.

I mean, I know the story: for the longest time, the Cardinals were the southernmost and westernmost team in major league baseball, and when KMOX went on the air, its 1.21 gigawatts of broadcasting power could reach most of the continental United States, meaning that for people who had no team near them, the Cardinals were the team they ended up hearing the most about. So I get the fact that when the team goes out west, there are a lot more Cardinals fans in the stands than you see when the Cardinals play, say, Pittsburgh.

I am curious: why is it so prevalent in Phoenix?

I'm probably biased because I was raised on a steady diet of Dodgers games, but my understanding is:

1) A LOT of people in Arizona grew up, or lived their adult lives, following the Cardinals before the Diamondbacks were a thing. EDIT: Or their parents (or whoever raised them) did, and chose to raise them that way instead of seeing them end up Diamondbacks fans.
2) Spring training camps are all over Arizona and make for some REALLY strange fanbases.
3) Snowbirds usually keep their old fandoms.
4) Some people hate the gently caress out of LA, and right now the Cardinals are their best shot of expressing it. There are quite a few legitimate grievances to have with LA, but this is American sports fans (or maybe sports fans in general) we're talking about, which all too often means it's the more 'sometimes you wish they could send out therapists on a 911 call' kind of hate.

Batting your relief pitcher in a tied game in September should be a firable offense.

With a runner on, no less.

e: I guess it WAS a fireable offense, if you think about it.

They just said it was flu-like symptoms. So... temporary.

Edit: Sorry, House beat me to it.

Of course he did.

He's House. Once he ruled out Lou Gherig's, prostate cancer, legionnaires', and lupus, the flu was the obvious diagnosis.

I feel like Peralta should have fielded that ball... not Wong. he had no chance on that throw.
