Gotten over the idea of quitting baseball fandom since Friday night... Upper-deck Sec. 11 had the most cretinous, drunken crowd I’ve been subjected to in 37 seasons of going to Shea. Abusing Cardinal fans, standing at random points, beer after beer -- my friend saw some fool in a Yankee jersey midgame get bathed with the contents of ketchup and mustard tubs at the concessions (victim was so shitfaced he found it hilarious and invited folks to put cigarettes out on him) ...Plus the Mets would NOT let ticketholders watch BP from the field boxes if you had a ticket for another level (as they do in the regular season), so fuck them (and "God Bless America"), no more postseason attendance for me.
Also, last row of the section = wind blowing directly on you for 5 hours.
Nice touch: Psycho theme on PA when LaRussa comes out to mound.
I don't wanna see Trachsel throw another pitch.

When the series goes to DC I expect to see crowd shots of Brett Kavanaugh and Tombot (not together)
I have been to a Nats game with Tombot! beat that

Man, I didn’t realize what a major league douchebag Juan Soto is! That’s too bad because he’s to fucking good. *grabs crotch and takes a step toward you*

I know it sounds crazy, but I sometimes wonder if, in that situation, it's worth walking Sanchez (intentionally unintentionally) and get him on the basepaths. There are precise measurements of the situational advantage of two outs/none on vs. one out/runner on first; I don't know if anyone's ever studied pitchers pitching after running the bases.

Cards should've been taking more this inning. DeJong put a particularly fruitless swing on the first pitch.
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 12 October 2019 03:04 (four years ago) link
Dejong’s terrible secret is that his mediocre season line was propped up by a very good April. He’s been garbage (at the plate) since early May

Mike Shildt says #Cardinals analytics have told him the baseball is traveling 4 1/2 feet shorter in the postseason, so far. That’s not nothing. Kudos to @craigjedwards for the question. #stlcards #NLCS— Derrick S. Goold (@dgoold) October 12, 2019

Scherzer probably needs a 10-pitch 7th to even have a chance at being around in the 9th.
Rooting for Washington, but nice to see Wainwright pitching so well.

The 2019 cardinals are pioneers. Many teams have built themselves upon speed and defense at the expense of offense. But these cardinals dare to ask, “what if we had no offense at all? Would it still be possible to win, or even to score?” It is awful to watch but I applaud their scientific approach
