gotta give the cards credit.

they were facing marmol and were able to scrounge to big hits with 2 strikes. sucks, but that’s baseball. at least, we didn’t walk them. they battled and got the job done. still, we are in some serious trouble here.

My dad just called me to bitch about this.

He’s in Minnesota and he’s very very mad that MLB has the intelligence of a 4 year old when it comes to market restrictions. Why would anyone in their right mind watch a game when one team is down by 16 runs…over a game that is tied going into the 9th and one of the best rivalries in all of sports? F you, MLB/Selig.
