NLDS Games 4

32 Comments

Uphill battles for the Cardinals and Diamondbacks tonight.

Phillies at Cardinals
Roy Oswalt vs. Edwin Jackson

Brewers at Diamondbacks
Randy Wolf vs. Joe Saunders

Fun and by fun we mean useless Fact: ERAs for the four starters tonight are 3.69, 3.79, 3.69 and 3.69.

Fun Fact II: Phillies and Brewers wins here would produce a rematch of the 1982 World Series. How many guys from those teams are still on those teams? I'm thinking less than ten.

  1. half-bakef alert:

    wins by the brewers and cardinals would set up a rematch of the 1982 world series.

      1. was it Dick Stockton doing the PBP, riffing that the squirrel had tickets for two games in a row?

  3. If the Phillies blow this series, there are going to be some mighty unhappy campers in the city of Brotherly Love.

    2. I'm wondering what's worse...seeing your team blow an enormous wild card lead to get promptly eliminated, or seeing your team blow an enormous wild card lead to beat the frontrunners and go on to a championship. Cart before the horse, sure, but I still think it's some good schadenfreude with the way things happened to the Braves and Sawks this year.

      1. I really don't want Nick Punto to win a World Series ring this year. That would be a huge, rotten cherry on top of the crap sundae that was the Twins' season.

        1. Well, it's not like he'll have any chances for that ring once he re-signs with the Twins next year.

    3. I didn't realize it was okay to hit the ball over the fence with runners on the bases. Weird. You can score many runs that way!

      1. I thought it was borderline cheating just to hit the ball in the air with runners on the bases.

    2. A lot of seats were open last night, but a sellout was announced.

      Tons of scalpers were outside. More than any I've ever seen at any event. Maybe they were holding 10% of the tickets.

    1. Dido. Stupid head first slide and all.

      Also: Every time I see a ball hit into a gap like that ball hit by Hart, I expect it to drop. I blame years of watching statues man left & right.

      1. To be fair, there was a slight possibility of a tag play in that situation, so I'd give him a pass on that.
