Serious pitching duel in LA.  Woodruff is practically unhittable, and Kershaw is close to the same.

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Two guys not playing their natural positions. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Play a guy at 1B that can’t play 1B, shit happens. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

And curtains. 

[Sbbruin 22142]

M-m-m-mookie!!

[Sbbruin 22142]

Yelich looks like a shell of his former self

Kershaw strikes out the side in the 6th

That was one of the best innings of pitching I’ve ever seen in my life.

Sure looks vintage Kershaw

[UTexasFight 9807]

Mercy 

[Sbbruin 22142]

Gets into the slightest trouble and what does he do?  Pickoff.  Nice baby.

[UTexasFight 9807]

I’m so tired of shitty baserunning 

[Guadaloopy 11129]

Are you kidding me?

[Guadaloopy 11129]

Is Kurkjian trying to do a Shaggy impression? Because he sure sounds like he is.
“It’s, like, the worst base running I’ve ever seen, Scoob!”

[WBT 20966]

So is Roberts really going to pull him?

[UTexasFight 9807]

I get a little tired of the absurd stats they keep coming up with but did like the one kurkjian just said

bauer first time in playoff history a guy goes 8 IP, 12 Ks, 0 BBS, 0 runs

Kershaw 2 outs away from matching him, gives up the walk with 2 outs in the 7th ....and then picks him off (and to make up for it, got to a bakers dozen in K’s)

[UTexasFight 9807]

Can neither confirm nor deny some dude is on a tractor writing “Kershaw” on the field at miller park right now 

[Sbbruin 22142]

Best game from Kershaw in a few years.

[TonyTexas 10738]

Bettors aren’t placing much face in Flaherty vs TBD. Padres are -223. 

[Scraps 13798]

Should be an interesting game.....everyone except Cardinals fans wants to see the SD/LA matchup, but their pitching may be their demise.  They better be ready to score 10+ again.  Garrett Richards should be a key player in today's game (barf)

Yeah, I'm torn.  I really don't like that SD lineup.  They mash.  But with Clevinger out, that staff could get murdered by the Dodgers.  But the Cardinals have fucked us up over the years.

All time record between Dodgers and Cards- Dodgers lead 1044-1040.

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Scoreless in top 5 of Marlins/Cubs on ABC. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Garrett Cooper solo yack in top 7. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

2-0 now, the PR worked. 

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

So Craig Kimbrel is back on his bullshit again, I see.

NL Central showed up this postseason! 

[Guadaloopy 11129]

Friendly confines getting a little froggy.  

[TheStoicPaisano 9953]

Great, it’s the fucking Heidi game.

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Did they not move it?! 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

ESPN, leadoff double by Heyward.

[Guadaloopy 11129]

Strike or not (which it was), you can’t watch that pitch with two strikes, Bote.  

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Impressive effort, Cubbies.

1-7.  AL Central went 1-6

[Vic Mackey 47950]

So the Marlins have still never lost a playoff series?

Just came to post this.

we all knew the Central was the worst division in both leagues (even though they somehow managed to land 7 of the 16 total playoff spots) but if cardinals lose tonight, they will have gone a combined 2-14

Wait, is that true?

[WBT 20966]

Correct, the Marlins don't lose playoff series.  Sorry Bruin, maybe next year.

That’s what they said.  Twice in the playoffs, twice WS Champs. 

[Dewey 3330]

As a Cubs fan I fully expected this. No science needed, I simply saw the name Marlins. This time they didn't rip my heart out and shit on it.

They are 2 for 2 on playoff appearances to World Series titles. Cubs fans should be mad at Alex Gonzalez for that, not Bartman 

[Scraps 13798]

Grisham handled that better than I would have

[Scraps 13798]

Big spot for Goldy here

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

And he bought a ticket. 

[Scraps 13798]

And he blew it

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Gonna be 2-0 here shortly. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

There’s half of it. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Damnit, Tommy.
