Losing 2 out of 3 to the Padres is what did it for me.

The good news is they aren't that far away. At least nothing that a healthy season from Ramirez and a decent second baseman couldn't cure.

Can't believe Martin let Pujols steal second. The dodgers always wanted to throw their momentum out the window somehow. It needs to be October already.

StL is 5-2 vs the Dodgers

The Dodgers better hope the cardinals draw the wild card because
Carp Wainright Pinero Lohse Carp is death to the dodgers

Carp 5-0 vs Dodger Career

The cardinals do this to the Dodgers every year in the regular season. I hope they draw the Cards, this isn't like a dodgers team of old. They'll be ready.

If playoff baseball has proved one thing, it's that head-to-head regular season records are meaningless come October.

What momentum. They're right around .500 since Manny came back, and have a losing record since the All-Star break.

In the games, MOMENTUM IN GAMES. Since you probably don't watch the Dodger games like I do, did you really need to post?

That's his point.

You get KCAL living in Iowa? Man, I need your cable provider - oh wait, you probably are just paying through the nose for EI.

Cubs are D-O-N-E!

I have a family member that has been getting extra innings for years now so no, he doesn't pay through the nose.

I'm guessing if you lived 2 time zones away from the squawks, you'd pay whatever you could to watch them.

Nope, I would just get the Big Ten Network, which is available nationwide.

Oh I forgot, since it's Iowa, all their games are televised on the BTN. My bad.

Not all of them. About 1/2 of them end up on ABC or ESPN - and since it's the Big Ten Network, every team in the Big Ten has their games televised. You know, since it's the Big Ten Network.
