So with the Cards not facing the Reds (barring an extremely unlikely NLCS matchup), I'm left with a dilemma.  Do I support the local team in the NLDS for the good of the city, or do I support my dad's team (Giants).

The cardinals are my favorite team EVAR and ill always hate the Yankees, but other than that I would like to see one of the other al teams win this year.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Cards-Yanks World Series in my lifetime.  Last one was back in 1964.

The Red Sox fired Bobby Valentine.  I hear Terry Francona is available.

That's a shame, as I like Bobby Vagina.  But Boston was definitely the wrong market for him.

How 'bout a Cardinals vs Browns series?  :hmm:

Francona is on the Indians' shortlist.  I'd love to see him go there.  Apparently he knows the GM.

If the Orioles end up facing off vs. the Cards in the Series, they should be forced to wear their old Browns uniforms.  And play the entire series in St. Louis :D

Why not?  There are probably more Orioles fans living in St. Louis today than there ever were Browns fans.

Yikes.  Should've have choked on the AL East, fellas.

QuoteManager Buck Showalter has selected left-hander Joe Saunders to start the Orioles' do-or-die American League wild-card playoff game against the Texas Rangers Friday night at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Saunders, acquired in a Aug. 26 trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks, has struggled mightily in six career starts at Texas, going 0-6 with a 9.38 ERA.

Valmy

It can't end this way they gotta beat Texas man.  This season is supposed to end gloriously.  Surely Buck knows what he is doing.  So nervous for this game tommorow.  One bad game and its all over.

The die has been cast, my friend.  And it has a 0-6 record with a 9.38 ERA.

Which will turn into a feel good story when he wins the game for them. :)
