Weaver vs. Glavine tonight, 8pm

anybody know which game will be on FOX tonight? i'd much rather watch it on Fox than FX




BTW, no Rick Ankiel this time, NyM410.

10/11/2006 10:00:07 AM

Tony "The Most Overrated Manager in MLB" Larussa is gonna get exposed this series...AGAIN

10/11/2006 10:44:22 AM

I imagine Cards/Mets will be on FOX and A's/Tigers get dumped to FX.

10/11/2006 10:56:45 AM

I find it amazing that Jeff Weaver is starting Game 1 in the NLCS. Obviously he pitched well in the NLDS against SD, but holy damn he sucked ass this year and now is starting a huge game. Amazing.

Also I realize that Carpenter would be the choice if he hadn't pitched just a few days ago, but you would think the Cards would have someone better to throw out there tonight. Here's hoping he shuts out the Mess and gets the Cards off to a good start...

Cards 6, Mets 3

10/11/2006 10:59:51 AM

^^It was either Weaver or Marquis or a rookie, Anthony Reyes.

La Russa didn't have a choice. And actually Weaver pitched well down the stretch, especially on the road. I hope the Cards can just win 1 of the first 2 in NY. Good call on no Ankiel this time! 5th time in 7 years Cards have been in the NLCS, and only 1 Series appearance to show.

10/11/2006 11:21:46 AM

rain out

oh well, gives Scott one more day to recoup and it allows Carp to pitch in game 2

10/11/2006 8:44:10 PM

cards in 3

10/11/2006 10:05:07 PM

^

In a 7 game series??

10/11/2006 10:08:04 PM

yeah, the mets suck so bad, the cards will find a way to do it in 3

10/11/2006 10:08:31 PM

HAHAHAHAHAAAAA


please refrain from posting in this thread ever again

I don't expect Braves fans to understand the playoff format past the NLDS.

10/11/2006 10:15:33 PM

^

Braves have won a World Series since the Mets have. SO THERE!

10/11/2006 11:05:04 PM

Yeah, in the first wildcard season... Mets have a pennant in '00 and unless you're insane you have to think they will again this year..

[Edited on October 11, 2006 at 11:07 PM. Reason : damn, I'm quick..]

10/11/2006 11:06:53 PM

So Carpenter may move into games 2 and 6 and Suppan back to 3 and 7 thanks to God!

I don't understand why everyone is bashing him and La Russa for putting him out there.

10/12/2006 1:06:41 AM

Let's do this shit. Off work an hour early, beer in hand, game on TV.

10/12/2006 8:10:20 PM

My God I hate Glavine, he only throws like 87 how hard is it to hit him?

Just be patient...my God.

10/12/2006 8:29:50 PM

Wake the F up bats.. Weaver blows but both pitchers are getting 6 inches off the plate outside so it makes it a bit easier to pitch..

[Edited on October 12, 2006 at 9:28 PM. Reason : x]

10/12/2006 9:28:28 PM

Yeah I was expecting Glavine to get those pitches, that's the only reason he is worth a shit, but Weaver is getting them??? Preston Wilson starting is a joke Tony...especially hitting in front of Albert.

Rolen didn't get a hit, what a shock! He sucks in the postseason.

[Edited on October 12, 2006 at 9:32 PM. Reason : Rolen]

10/12/2006 9:30:54 PM

time to put the bats to work

10/12/2006 9:56:11 PM

jeff weaver is shutting down the mets

oh glorious day

10/12/2006 9:56:51 PM

Yeah so much for a high scoring series.

Neither team has pitching.

10/12/2006 9:57:42 PM

do all the mets listen to gay disco music

or just reyes

10/12/2006 10:06:09 PM

It's 2004 again! Bomb by Beltran!

10/12/2006 10:06:25 PM

Worst average at home in the majors.

How many times is Beltran gonna kill my Cardinals?

10/12/2006 10:06:50 PM

that was a fucking bomb

10/12/2006 10:06:56 PM

Did someone forget to tell Tom Glavine this isn't 1995 anymore?

10/12/2006 10:25:27 PM

motherfuck Bel-trahn and his ugly smirk

10/12/2006 11:10:34 PM

Pujols CANNOT go 0-4 and Cards have a chance.

If you would have told me that Weaver would have went 6 innings and only allowed 2 runs, I would have said the Cards would win this game.

10/12/2006 11:13:28 PM

Put it in the books.

1-0.

10/12/2006 11:15:32 PM

Too bad the rain delay helped out the Cards and Carp gets to pitch tommorrow.

Fuck Beltran that bastard, hits like Babe Ruth against the Cards.

10/12/2006 11:17:32 PM

glavine gave us just what we needed tonight

good win boys

10/12/2006 11:19:21 PM

How does that help? Carpenter is still only pitching 2 games. His splits show he is a 4.70 pitcher on the road this year and under 2.00 at home..

He could pitch great but he isn't nearly as good on the road. I like our chances. Great game tonight. Absolutely as well played a game defensively and pitching wise as you could hope for in the playoffs. For my money that was the best game of the playoffs so far...

10/12/2006 11:19:57 PM

^Suppan's splits are a LOT better at home too. Carp is money no matter what.

La Russa should have pulled Weaver and pinch hit when they got 2 on in the 5th....that was really the only time the Cards threatened.

10/12/2006 11:24:14 PM

Must win for the Cards...

Go Mets!

10/13/2006 7:49:56 PM

I said it when he had that horrible 1st against San Diego... a good offense he won't get away with a shaky start against...

10/13/2006 8:21:07 PM

I cant believe we're still in this game. The right fielder saved a home run for the mets though...nice play thank god he didnt get more of his glove on it

10/13/2006 10:59:51 PM

bullpen let us down tonight

good game cards

10/14/2006 12:08:57 AM

i can't understate how HUGE a win that was for us


you think Shay Stadium was loud, wait till you hear Busch

10/14/2006 12:38:33 AM

i was there

it wasn't actually that loud

and when so taguchi hit that home run

you'd think it was a regular season game in may or something

the crowd just started pouring out, from one fucking run...

10/14/2006 3:43:01 AM

^^ haha.. New York crowd >>>>>>>>>>>>>> anywhere else in the country when it comes to noise.

Good win for you guys last night. I thought it was going to be a crappy series and it still might be but you stealing one in Shea was a good win.

Quote :

"Albert Pujols, as quoted by Johnette Howard in Newsday, talking with reporters on Wednesday, when the Cardinals arrived to Shea Stadium… “Get out of my freaking locker - you people are a pain, you know that”… During Thursday’s game, Pujols was hitless against Tom Glavine, who tossed seven scoreless innings in a Game One win… Pujols on Glavine, talking with reporters after Wednesday’s game… “He wasn't good. He wasn't good at all. “I think we hit the ball hard, we didn't get some breaks… “I say he wasn't good at all. We just didn't get some opportunities and that's it… “He did same thing that he always does. Throw a changeup, fastball and that was it. I just think we should've done a better job than we did.”…"

When did Pujols become a dick. This guy wouldn't survive a day playing in a real city like New York. He'd be the next A-Rod. Great player, great numbers, no balls..

Cardinals up 2-1 in the series with Oliver Perez tomorrow..

oh well. Beat the Tigers in the world series.

10/14/2006 8:57:19 PM

aha thats a joke

10/14/2006 9:00:49 PM

Already giving up on the Mets tonight???

This is the Cardinals team I have been waiting for.

Hahah the Cardinals still have no chance against anyone?

10/14/2006 9:18:43 PM

not in the AL

10/14/2006 9:19:19 PM

Keep doubting.

We will see if the Cards can make it that far.

10/14/2006 9:20:31 PM

ok i will

Actually I am joking. I still think the Mets can win. but this is god damn pitiful.

Though I am gonna rip through a 12 pack tomorrow night stomaching Oliver Perez trying to save the season. I guess this is what is so good about baseball. The Mets (and Yankees for that matter) were the best team EASILY in the NL but the Cards are playing the best when it matters..
