i thought this was the first time he had 20 wins in a season?

Me too! I remember in the year they lifted him early with 19 wins and a 6-0 lead against the brewers. Then Kyle McClellan shat it up.

Apparently he had 20 in 2010 too.

Dude has been the second best in the league for years. First it was lincecum, now it's kershaw

Probably because he hosed up his hamstring because there is a god and he is a gigantic rear end in a top hat wearing a Cardinals jersey.

Martin hurt his leg in the braves series. I am sure he will play if he is even remotely capable.

Pirates are not losing another game this regular season. This is some Colorado Rockies poo poo they've got going on.

And to add Matheny to injury, I bet they'll realize that Wacha isn't ready for the playoffs this year, so they will leave him off the postseason roster... making this inevitable loss all the more needless.

In fairness, your other choice was Marco Gonzales or starting Lynn, waino, miller, and needing lackey for a potential game 163 or play in game.

I don't mind starting wacha tonight. I do mind leaving him in when Lyons or Gonzales could bridge the gap while the game is still winnable.

I realize that many of you are rooting for the Diamondbacks tonight, even though doing so is making you physically ill. Just know that even though I don't like it when people root against my favorite team, I'm still a pure fan of baseball, even if it is at the Cardinals expense, so...

... I am giving all of you opposing team fans a standing ovation, and a healthy round of sincere applause. Because that's just what we Cards fans do.

Why are the announcers talking about wacha in the playoff rotation when it isn't even certain a rotation will be needed?

Why is wacha still in? Day off yesterday. It is September. There are a million pitchers. This game is hugely important.

E: and why is Motte the fireman? Dude is nothing without his great fastball :(

They're talking about Wacha in the playoff rotation because Matheny is going to Matheny. It's what he does.

And as for Motte... I'm wondering if he's ever really going to recover from the surgery. You hear so many success stories these days that it's easy to forget that not everyone bounces back.

It is only Motte's first year back. Give him time. Which Matheny isn't.

I wouldn't mind the cards taking a flier on him, but nowhere close to his last two years.

Separately, YAY royals

It's amazing how much the cardinals hitting sucks compared to last year. How theyve done this well I have no damned idea.

They're going to blow the division then win it all, aren't they?

The pitching is still good and they get on base a lot. Just...it takes like four base runners to score.

His ERA is terrible because he still faces righties a lot.
