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.


Today's Games


Today in Baseball History
  • 1904 - Jack Chesbro got his 41st victory of the season as New York defeated the Boston Red Sox, 3-2.
  • 1925 - Walter Johnson opens the World Series in Pittsburgh. A fifth-inning home run by Pie Traynor is the only damaging blow as Johnson fans 10 for a 4-1 Washington win.
  • 1928 - Lou Gehrig's two home runs led the New York Yankees to a 7-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series, giving them a 3-0 lead.
  • 1933 - Flags are at half staff for Game Five to honor William L. Veeck, Chicago Cubs president, who died suddenly. On the field, the World Series comes to a close when Mel Ott homers in the 10th inning for a 4-3 Giants victory over Washington.
  • 1950 - Whitey Ford wins his first World Series game, 5-2, over Bob Miller at Yankee Stadium. The sweep of the Phillies gives the Yankees their 13th World Championship.
  • 1975 - The Red Sox gain a 5-3 win and three-game sweep over Oakland for the AL pennant. Carl Yastrzemski makes two great plays in the outfield and has two hits to back Rick Wise's pitching.
  • 1984 - The San Diego Padres won the National League pennant with a 6-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs in the final game of the playoffs. The Padres won three straight after dropping the first two.
  • 1995 - Edgar Martinez of the Seattle Mariners hit a tie-breaking grand slam in the eighth inning and drove in seven runs -- the most ever in a postseason game to date -- leading the Mariners past the New York Yankees, 11-8, and sending the AL playoff series to a decisive Game 5.
  • 1998 - Chuck Knoblauch argued for an interference call at first base instead of picking up the ball while Enrique Wilson scored to break a 1-1 tie in the 12th inning of the Cleveland Indians' 4-1 victory at New York in Game 2 of the AL championship series.

you know the deal
I like Kershaw tonight against the Dodgers but eventually it will be a bullpen battle and I think the Cardinals may prevail again.

Kershaw needs to show up Post Season wise and this is his time to shine!

Joe Buck called this "the scene of the crime last night."

So, if the Dodgers' bullpen is as bad as it looked last night and as bad as you guys say, how did they make it to the postseason?

If you have good hitters and good SPs, you can generally get away with a bad bullpen. The Tigers are a better example of this.

The silly thing is, it's not that hard to build a decent bullpen.

Right, I forgot about the Tigers. I guess good starters and really good run production could make up for that.

It kind of is hard though in so much as relievers tend be a total crapshoot from year to year.

Someone should calculate the chances of Rock the House getting hit by a ball. Or even appearing somewhere in the sea of red.

In any case, go redbirds.

Because the Dodgers have arguably the best offense in the league and also a really good starting rotation.
