    Howie Kendrick dialing in his video game persona these playoffs.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Ponce de Leon would be better off continuing his search for the fountain of youth at this point because the Cardinals are toast.

    Dave Martinez was probably a few more losses earlier in the season from being fired. Now they're this close to a WS appearance
    I miss igotid88
  • So the Nats pulled it together.  Is this because Bryce Harper is gone?  Says a lot about him and the talent that the Phillies had and couldn't reach the playoffs.

    The team had injuries early and the team really wasn't hitting.

    Robles didn't hit all that great in the begining, Rendon turned it on later, Turner was hurt.

    The whole team finally came around and started to play.  I would expect the team to do much better next year.

    Turner, Robles, Soto and Kieboom should be fun to watch next year w Rendon.

    When has injuries and team not hitting save a manager's job. Rarely. Especially when he missed the playoffs with a playoff team.

    You think they re-sign Rendon and Strasburg(When he opts out)?

    Why on earth would you let the pitcher you drafted, played all his life for your team and will get in the HOF go when he's pitching great?

    Same goes for Rendon.

    I'd sign them both for another 5 years.

    $$$  Rendon is going to get upwards of $200 million.  Be interesting to see what Strasburg pulls in

    HOF? Seems presumptuous.

    I'm willing to bet that when his career is finished he will be elected in to the HOF.

    He's getting better with age.  He is one pitcher that isn't a lock right now that will be.

    They aren't paying Harper and if they lock in Rendon for another 5 years they still have Soto and Turner on the cheap for a few more too so it shouldn't be that bad.

    Strasburg might get more than Rendon, lol.

    Saw a crazy stat over the weekend:  Old man Howie leads all of MLB with a .325 BA since the beginning of the 2018 season.

    He'll be 31 come starting next season not 21.

    He might get 7 but no way he gets offered 10. Those days are over for 30 YO's now.

    I fear tonight is the end of the road for my cardinals. I am fairly indifferent because this year brought the trophy to St. Louis I’ve wanted my whole life...so the Redbirds get a pass for this embarrassing performance.

    If the Yankees win they will need to throw garbage on the field for good luck ... a poor man's rally monkey

    Maybe ozuna should have played that with a little more urgency?!

    Felt terribly forced. It’s no Craig Berube pre-game pep talk before game 7 of the cup finals.

    Well I'm hoping for a Astros vs Nationals Workd Series, why because BOTH of their Spring Training are held here in West Palm Beach about a mile walk to the 12 fields from my house.

    Now that the Nationals are in the World Series....here's a bit of trivia for you baseball nuts.

    Name the ONLY team left in MLB that has NOT made it to the WS?

    Peace

    Again, no one gets 10 year deals in their 30's... I haven't changed my position on age and contracts.
