    it's the only logical explanation I could think of, because if he does hit him, he's a moron.

    Cain hit leadoff man Jay in the knee in the first.

    And Carlos Beltran was taken out after the first due to an injury. Big blow to St. Louis.

    funny that the Giants wouldn't take Melky back for the NLCS. They had no problem with PEDs when it was Barroid doing them, and they brought in known abuser Mota.

    rain hurt the Cards because Boggs had to come out. Motte was able to go two and get the save.

    Now the question is whether Beltran will be back during this series.

    Funny. We never see Hiker post about the cardinals during the regular season.

    I was wondering why Lincecum was starting Game 4.

    It turns out that after Bumgarner had a bad Game 1 start, he got booted out of the rotation. Zito pitches Game 5.

    Tough to win like that.

    Indications are now that Holliday is expected to play.

    giants getting ridiculously lucky

    their key hit was bases loaded, pence hits a grounder, bat breaks just after contact, bat hits ball a second time and redirects it, so rather than an inning-killing GIDP, it wound up being a three run double

    a couple of mets references

    first scutaro became the second player to have 20+ streak during regular season and then 10+ during playoffs (2000 piazza).

    then they showed a replay of Beltran striking out to end the 2006 nlcs

    Cain just threw at Holliday and hit him. 7-0 Giants though so I guess he figured it didn't matter. Ump did nothing.

    Between the Gamecocks, Jets, and Cardinals, this has to rank as one of the top 5 worst sports weekends ever for me. Just freakin sucks.:sad:

    I'm counting on Detroit once more. The Angels in 2002 and Marlins in 2003 defeated both the Giants and Yankees, now I need Detroit to do the same.
