Cardinals 6, Rockies 3: Cards' bench powers past Rox for division title

Dan Iassogna needs to join Dinger in that Fire.

a green comment?

most rec’d post in PR history?

one can only hope.

too bad I don’t think I will get to use them, as I truly don’t think this is on the up and up anymore.

Can’t believe this WC is still close

real generic.

there is no must win when you are ahead. and we are ahead.

there were some questionable strike calls, but thats neither here nor there

Really upset. I feel for the guy.

He wrote in a way that made the Rox seem like whiners…and he didn’t really go into depth about how the strike zone directly negatively impacted the Rockies..

I figured you all knew

attached to a brick and thrown through Bud Selig’s office window.

“We didn’t score enough runs, so bad calls decided more of our game than it should.

Sincerely,

Whine whine whine"

I’m frustrated too, but you know that your contact is going to be regarded like this. I mean, I’m with you in spirit, but this just seems like we’re whining.

While the Umpiring Epic Fail was a major factor, the RISP-Fail didn’t help.

but having the umps on your side helps too.

(Yes! I am still very mad!)

when all you have to do is get it close and it’s called a strike….

but on TV it was below the knees

and ended up crossing Giambi about three inches below the knee. Awful, awful call.

The plate was a yard wide tonight when the Rockies were up in key situations.

they tried but turnovers and the defense couldn’t hold up has cost them

Didn’t fare any better. But then, the football team rarely does. Bring on the hoops, I say!

they would have had to send the reporter to the moon to follow him.

cussing and swearing in Spanish telling him what a loser he is

tracy’s done virtually everything right in his tenure here, but what happened—or didn’t happen—tonight was pretty disappointing. there were enough questionable (aka BAD) calls leading up to the horrible giambi-at-the-shins call, that tracy NEEDED to be out there, in the ump’s face. i don’t care if tracy was okay with the call, i don’t care if it’s not in line with tracy’s mild personality, i don’t care if tracy was drunk or on sleeping pills— I DON’T CARE. dude NEEDED to be out there up in the ump’s grill, like a real major league manager, TRYING to get kicked out of the game to show his team he’ll take a hit for them. this is the manager’s DUTY, for pete’s freaking sake!

sorry, it just is. you let me down, jim tracy. don’t do it again.

yes, yes, I get it. We’re coming to the end of the season and the Magic Number is sitting at 6, the Braves play against the Natinals forever, the sky is falling etc etc. I’m right there with the rest of the fans/people on the bandwagon. But I want to see some real passion in this team! and not just from the players jumping up and down when we get a walkoff. I want to see Tracy out there in the umpires face, kicking some dirt around and saying things his mother would be ashamed of. I just want to see some rage! This team isn’t going to get anywhere being Mr.Nice Guys. Today in the dugout after that bad call during Giambi’s at bat was a nice start, but we need to take it a step further. Normally I wouldn’t be promoting this, but the amount of bad calls are starting to cross the line. Also, I’m very tired, angry at my brother, am nursing my hand that I badly burnt accidentaly touching the froth-thingy on my moms espresso machine, and just in general feel like the sky is falling and it’s 2012 and the world is about to end, and probably am in no condition to be posting on here. but it’s just so upsetting to see this happen. I wonder how many bad calls it takes in a series to become more than just a coincidence. I guess all I can hope is that we see some more fairness tomorrow. That, and a Braves loss.

/rant

I kind of miss Hernandez.

seriously, welcome, but just let everyone work it off.

It’s not so much that we legitimately think about a big umpire’s meeting (I’m picturing the Janitor’s closet in Scrubs) with them all saying “hm how can we dick the Rockies over tonight?”

It’s more that we “showed them up” and so while they aren’t consciously thinking “screw Rockies” it might be something in the back of their minds, more a feeling than a conscious thought.

but yeah……I know what you mean. We’ve gotta conjur up some Matsui magic and slap Lohse around tomorrow.

Oh, and if there are bad calls tomorrow, I think this umpiring crew is gonna have a hard time getting out of town with their heads screwed on.

Congratulations to the Cardinals!! You clinched now let us win so we can join you in October.

I was there with hizilla

I was sitting with a bunch of Cardinals fans and I was having a great conversation with the guy to my right. In the 6th inning some guy comes into the row and says that he has seat 12 (I’m in 13). The people I was talking to were in the wrong row (4 when they should have been in 3). This guy made them move so he could sit there with his binoculars and watch the game. He then left after the 6th inning and I did not see him until the bottom of the 9th. This was the dumbest thing because it was harder to hold a conversation with the guy in front of you than the same buy beside you. I absolutely hate people like this.

Had the Nats been .475 team, I don’t think we’d be this up in arms about it. Esp. if the Cards and Brewers were tanking and like the Cubs or Astros were ruling the Central.

you don’t think fans have a right to express their frustration? I get damn tired of people, telling me I’m suppose to be all f’n sunshine when the team I like is taking tough loss after tough loss.
