Cardinals have no one to blame but themselves for the position they're in. Continually dropping games to a bad Reds team earns you no sympathy.

I was just wondering that earlier:

The usual rotation would be Shark versus Leake, I'm pretty sure. I'd expect the Giants to throw Cueto on short rest. Cardinals would probably have Leake start and then go to Garcia or Reyes in long relief.

No need to waste Cueto if he is gonna pitch in the Wild Card game.

Sorry, I meant that the Cardinals are most likely running out Mike loving Leake (if they get to Game 163) so there's no need for the Giants to worry about losing the game.

EDIT: Looks like it won't matter since the Dodgers seem content to lay down and die to the Giants. I hope they meet in the NLCS and the Giants sweep them.

Dodgers honoring Vin's legacy by getting swept by their rivals, gently caress the Dodgers

Will Clark attempted to murder the Cardinals middle infield.

He has no flaws.

He was cool in 2000

I don't hate the Giants I just find them to be boring. Idk what it is they have some fun players, but I can't get over how uninspired it feels watching them. I think it's the fans in their home stadium seem so lifeless. Giants SAS posters are cool.

I got the same feeling watching the Indians last night, everyone just seemed to not give a poo poo. But this is actually true for Indians fans because you can't help thinking "where were all these people during the regular season?".

Yeah, when I think of Giants home games I think of lifeless crowds

Uh, the 90s Indians had a bunch of sick players like Baerga, Albert Belle, David Justice, Kenny Lofton, and JIM THOME.

Heh, nailed it.

Sorry for trying to defend your apparently lame as hell fanbase I guess.

I feel like most teams have fun and interesting players if you actually follow them. Like people talk about the Cardinals as boring but they have a 10 year old little leaguer in the body of a 25 year old porn-lovin ace; a dude who pumps it to 100 who got busted for weed; an old rear end Korean pitcher with good nicknames and his weirdo translator who looks like he's trying to be part of the coaching staff; and a doughy-rear end good ol boy from West Virginia named Jedd who crushes dongs, along with all the on-field minor celebrations after hits which I'm actually surprised hasn't gotten people mad considering the way people overreact to most celebrations in baseball. Fans of most teams just don't post about it as much as the Cubs.
