That was super close at first. Good scoop by Descalso though.

It's kind of sad that no matter how much more Descalso does this game it will never be his best postseason game. He's legitimately been one of the 3 most important Diamondbacks tonight and it still doesn't come close to 2012.

I keep remembering the theory that Daniel Descalso is a WW2-era pilot who flew into the Bermuda Triangle and woke up in the Cardinals' minor league system in the 2000's. He just looks like he belongs in a sepia-toned photograph.

the time rodney arrowed the cardinals after recording one out in like the 7th inning is an all-time great Cubs moment

I literally yelled "gently caress your arrow" at him as he strolled towards the dugout after that. I think the crowd drowned me out though.

Was that the game he shot the arrow and the Cards came back to win? Or was that when he was pitching for the Tigers? I definately remember a game where he did his arrow thing and lost.

No, it was 2015 NLDS game 4.

You can still probably YouTube it and see me looking grumpy next to my dad with his poo poo-eating grin and Cubs jersey.

The upper graphic on my set has second base as a slightly different shade of grey than first or third. I keep thinking there's a runner on second when the bases are empty and am always surprised when a run doesn't score.

I love that Albert was so dominant that even now, when he's old and slow, he has the reputation that he can just poo poo-talk anyone he wants to.
