2012 MLB Wild Card and LDS Game Thread

[Beef]

Mike Bernandino has a blog about how the Marlins should trade for ARod

because of course they should

Some black guy wrote that article a handful of years ago. Is/was Charles Elmore a guy that wrote things down here?

[Chewford]

The little team that could pulled it off. No one believed the Yankees could take down the mighty Orioles but by golly they did it.

[Beef]

ehe, Nats sign guy

[Chewford]

Does he have a HAR-PER sign?

[Beef]

Nope

"NATS SCORE"

[Namaste]

LONG way to go, boys. EXPOS. They're still the EXPOS somewhere in all of this.


BEEF

[Namaste]

I kind of feel bad for the Expos. Ugh.

[Bobbob1313]

Ridiculous, this postseason.

[Erick]

I wonder if Davey Johnson is going to get some criticism for the loss. He pitched to Kozma with 1B open and Jason Motte on-deck.

[Todd]

Just embarrassing. Arguably the worst team to make the playoffs in years(hot in April, basically .500 after that, no real above average bat in their lineup, awful bullpen) is going to the NLCS.

[Erick]

The Cardinals have a tendency to do this type of stuff.

[Bobbob1313]

"no real above average bat in their lineup"

They had six regulars put up an OPS+ above 100. Plus Matt Carpenter.

You really do like saying dumb things.

[Erick]

Yeah, that was a really dumb thing to say. They have one of the best offenses in baseball. This isn't surprising though because you said something stupid about the Cardinals earlier in the season, as well.

[Bobbob1313]

Cardinals had a .558 winning percentage from July 1 on. That translates to a 90-win pace for a full season.
--------------------
Cardinals had the second-best Pythagorean record in the National League.
--------------------
He was right though, they had a mediocre bullpen, so we all have to eat a frog.

[Todd]

Not really dumb at all. I watch them every night. Saw their struggles. Out of their lineup, only Molina, Craig, Jay, and Freese had 2nd halfs that matched their first halves. Beltran was terrible in the 2nd half. Holliday's production dipped. Furcal hasnt been anything offensively for years.
