Anyone else notice the sadness of Darling, Ripken, and Johnson when the game ended. That prick Darling was practically in tears angry his beloved Braves lost.
 
what's the pitching situations looking like for the cards? how many days do people consider a pitcher pitching on full rest?

would the matchups be:

lynn vs. grienke
kelly vs. kershaw
wacha vs. ryu/capuano
wainwright vs. nolasco
 
Usually 4 to 5 days. Don't think the Cards go with Lynn in game 1. Maybe Kelly. Got to take one in St Louis, cause Wainwright is going to pitch game 3. If Cards are up 2-0, with Wainwright starting game 3 we'll be seeing a lot of Yasiel Puigs vacation selfies on Instagram, real soon.

If the Cards lose game 1, I can see them rolling out Wainwright for game 2.
 
I believe kelly has already been announced....so kelly vs grienke/wacha vs kershaw.......need a split AT LEAST, if not both..........Dre is gonna be a major x factor...if hes a go. If hes not a go....then we need ace outings out of clay/zack.
 
There is no way we come back 0-2 with Kershaw and Greinke pitching out there. 1-1 at worst imo. Also I'm pretty sure we beat them when they had wainwright pitching twice this year didn't we?


Also: I got game 5 tickets last night but just realized I might not be able to make it. If anyone is interested lmk. THey are AYCE pavilion. not looking to make a profit on them.
 
Dodgers MUST at least win 1 of 2 in St Louis. Can't come home down 0-2, with their ace on the hill
Definately agree, but im confident we can pull at least one win in st. louis. Hopefully Grienke gets a little more run support this outing.
 
Its gonna be interesting....the 4 gm series in stl is out the window...

yadi molina didnt play. Hanram didnt play. Shelby exited early and we saw westbrook a day early...etc....

in this series....no allen craig(probably)...but matt adams has been crushing. And hanram is back in. I think dre may return tomorrow depending on how he says he feels today after yesturdays workout. Based on the way the pitching lines up...........Im cautiously optomistic.

at the game 5 start time
 
must do what we did in Atlanta and steal one (or two) on the road. Hopefully Greinke and Ryu can redeem themselves this series.

This is the type of series where I don't think home field will matter. Even if the boys come back with a split, it'll be Ryu vs. Wainwright in Game 3 more than likely. This team has also shown to not play well offensively when Greinke and Kershaw on the mound, somewhat resting their laurels.

It's going to be a great series, both teams are going to duke it out, and you can honestly say these are the two best teams in the NL no doubt. It's no fluke that these two are where they are. So it'll be graceful in victory and defeat.
 
Marmol and volquez IN....cap and paco OUT...2 lefties...I hope dodger brass knows wwhat they're doing......I hope JP Howell is prepared to face matt adams in big spots all series.
 
Ya especially no paco he's pretty much been the #1 lefty all year, I didn't see much from marmol to even think he would make the playoff roster
 
If Bellisario plays, he better do something because he sucked donkey balls against the Braves. None of that child tantrum he did in the dugout.

Not worried about Paco, Wilson or Jansen.

I predict the dodgers win in 6. PLEASE NO GAME 7 PLEASE NO.
