Love the pods unis as well.

Man Law: 2 uniform styles per team - Home whites with team name, road greys with city/state.

St. Louis takes a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the 6th.

Yadier Molina has a freaking cannon and showed it off throwing out quick, little Dave Roberts on a big, slow curveball.

Of the 4 potential opponents still alive, only the Padres have catchers who suck at throwing out runners. We didn't run much against the Dodgers and Martin who's no slack himself, but Molina and Pudge could seriously slow us down.

That red thing on Spezio's chin makes him look like a complete asstard. Edit: 4-2 'Nils.

Now it's 6-2 on Eckstein's suicide squeeze.

Which is why I was surprised to see that Josh was born in Venezuela (papa Jesse in Illinois)
That Josh was born in the 2nd year of his dad's MLB career leads me to believe that he was a Winter Ball baby.




Meanwhile, after looking like shite in the first inning, it's now the 7th and Carpenter is still in there dealing.


LaRussa squeezes A LOT with Eckstein and that situation - where there was 1 out and the Cards had taken the lead and were piling on - just reeked of TLR prime squeezin' time.

[A Boy Named Seo]

For a player to ask out of the lineup, he's got to be in pretty bad shape. Cards must be freaking about Rolen.

Carpenter leaves in the 8th with a 4-run lead and runners on the corners.

Piazza hits into an inning ended double play.

Speaking of which, anyone hear more about the story of Jesse and one of his other sons? The Met draft pick who pushed Jesse down the stairs because he (the kid) was told it was time to go to church or something

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

It's a final. The Mets will meet the Cardinals in the NLCS.
