Like when it gets near the end of a season and you are suddenly just getting shellacked by a team you've pretty much owned all year?
Owned in Pittsburgh maybe. When the Pirates are away from home they are as beatable as anybody else is on the road.
Yeah it was 3-3 in St. Louis before these last 2 ugly games, which I counted as doing great but isn't some crazy record.
They really are shitting the bed. Two weeks ago they were tied for first in the east. If they lose tonight they are 8 1/2 out.
Not to imply the Cards are any better on the road... It's weird, early in the year they had an insanely good record on the road but since that road trip to Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and Cincinatti started they've been really bad. They also started off the year mediocre at home but have been near to unbeatable there as of late. The Dodgers are really the only team in the NL that has a good record both at home and away. Take away the beginning of their season and they've been amazing, I feel like they will be the team I don't want to face in the playoffs.
Not real confident in any of the Central teams against LA or Atlanta. Mid-season I had a lot more faith in the division as a whole.
He might have reached it if he had swung an oar...
Because Trevor Plouffe is swinging at it and he fucking sucks. He swings like that at normal balls too.Unrelated to tonight's game(COLE .45!), this is a Darvish 61mph curveball. I don't think I've seen a batter miss this bad since Randy Johnson vs. John Kruk in the all star game.
Can't blame them the last two games, you step on the tracks of destiny you're gonna get hit by the train of fate.
