It doesn’t make me feel much better. It devalues the NL Central more than it uplifts the Cubs choke-job last year.

Point is, could have happened to ANY team.

That series was proof there is a God and He has a sense of humor.

Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living. ~Alvin Dark

It was strange seeing something like that happening to someone else

seems like if you replace Holliday with soriano and 2009 Cardinals with 2008 Cubs it would have just added to the stories.

Indeed

I think Sam knows better than to try to catch a ball with his balls.

Better than a "fractured testicle "

Nastiest sounding baseball injury. This maybe one time you boys should be grateful MLB pulled the video link.

Well, presuming you've now relieved yourself...

…you should read the cartoon above. It’s pretty funny.

Mixed feelings on this one

I understand the hatred of the Cards but having grown up mostly in L.A., my hatred of the Dodgers is greater. I sure hope the Dodgers lose the next series like they did last year.

The cartoon is very good though.

After that stunning, first round sweep by the Dodgers, I'm thinking the best move...

…for the Cards would be to let DeRosa go and trade for Milton Bradley. They need to get more left-handed.

Wait a minute... who am I here?

Maybe they could take Aaron Miles, too.

That’s how teams get better from playoff sweeps.

Right?

They could even recycle the old baseball cards
