II thread was dragging.

**BigRedChief** · 10-12-2015, 09:00 PM

picking up where we left off.

I don't think Lynn is scared. Garcia yes, Lynn just looks tired and his fastball doesn't have the movement that makes him successful. It's flat.

Injuries did us in partly. We had to ride the rest of the players hard.

Losing Martinez and Molina in the playoffs? Thats just too high of a hill to climb.

FWIW, the new server SHOULD be able to handle big threads better, though it never hurts to prune a big thread that's not necessary.

The server is the Jaime Garcia of servers.

It took forever for my posts to load. Maybe it was just me.

Hootie was saying it was slow. Jewish Rabbi also. I thought it was slow loading too.

Lackey on starting on short rest:

Short rest? Pitch counts? Chuck all that out the window. "I'm not guarding against nothing," says St. Louis CardinalsGame 4 starter John Lackey. "I'm gonna go get it."

I really hope he pitches just as good in the next game

All it is is two 1 game series for the Cards ... I never get too worried down 2-1 in a 5 gamer ... you know, until we're down 6-2 in the 8th inning ... but even then ...

I think I read that you all were 96% to lose going into the 8th. Those are some pretty dire straits. Not impossible, mind you, but you're looking at a two-outer on the river.

I imagine the Cubs are probably 4:1 to advance right now.

Wacha getting squeezed?

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-13-2015, 12:04 AM

Arrieta got strikes at the bottom of the zone that he didn't (a notable one was the first pitch to Pham in the 4th), but Wacha's problem was that he ****ing sucked dick tonight when we just needed him to be competent and keep the ball down.

I wonder who starts game 5 for the Cardinals if they win tonight. Do they have the balls to throw Wainwright out there for 5 or so innings and just have him stand at the plate?
