Cardinals just didn't get the hitting. I don't think anyone really expected the Cardinals to get this close to a second straight World Series. What they did this year was pretty amazing within itself.

I did not like the bitch move by Matheny to take out Losche so early.

Cardinals hit the ball 7 times and had 4 walks on top of that, it was their RISP hitting which wasn't there. I'd give credit to the Giants infield for playing a stellar game, unlike the Cardinals infield which once again made embarrassing mistakes. On top of that our offense was just on last night, scoring runs against 4 different Cardinals pitchers. Giants played better in every facet of the game over the last 3 in the series. This was a well-deserved NLCS victory.

Joe Buck and co. want to harp on the Cardinals comeback victory against Washington, but I don't think that's even comparable to being down 0-2 in the NLDS to the Reds with the final 3 games being played on the road, and getting the job done. Or being down 3-1 in the NLCS with your regular season aces (Cain and Bumgarner) struggling, and somehow winning 3 straight AGAIN to advance. I'd prefer we commanded a series from the start, but if you want to talk about a resilient team and a true comeback story, the 2012 Giants blow the Cardinals away completely in that regard.

Ozzie

So fucking distraught, let another championship caliber manager go.

I give complete credit to the Giants as far as winning the NLCS. Cardinals didn't play well and Giants capitalized. I thought the Cardinals had a stellar season for what it was worth though. They lost their best player (A Future HOFer) and arguably their best manager ever (A Future HOFer) and they still get within one game of the World Series? That's pretty damn amazing to me.

It was all good just a week ago.

Once Ozzie said those comments about Castro, his days were numbered. There was a lot of pressure to fire him mainly because of those comments that got him all that backlash. Anything less than a trip to the World Series, a playoff spot or close to a playoff spot, he was done. The Marlins being terrible all year made it easy for them to do the deed. And on top of that, the City of Miami is getting screwed because of that stadium. I don't know the exact details, but Marlins ownership basically got the stadium built for nothing out of their pockets.

Ozzie talks too much and doesn't know when to filter his shit because the media gasses his head up and Miami-Dade should be looking for their legislators for even building that stadium.

Same old Marlins.

And Jeff Loria is the worst owner ever.

Alright Verlander time to be a stud and shut these guys out.

Hope he returns to his All Star Game form.

Here we fucking go. Game 1, let's go Tigers! I just want to see them win a World Series while I'm alive. Wasn't born until 86' and they last won in 84'. They let me down in 06 though. Hopefully they'll come through this time.

I already got to witness one in 2010, but two would be nice also.
