It's on like donkey kong.
3 up and 3 down in the Cardinals first.
A walk, but nothing more in the Giants first.
On in my den, listening to it now, but will move to watching in a few.
Freese with a dinger, 2-0 Redbirds.
Good inning, 2-0 Good guys :)
Walked into the Den, and Freese was up to bat.
Timing :).
Easy inning on the giants half. Still 2-0 red feathers.
Who are you for?Quote:

Easy defensive inning lol
Easy inning again. Hair raising 3rd out :/. 2-0 Birds on the bat.
Freese leading off the 4th.
Bottom of the order is killing it again back to back doubles, Kozma with larceny at 3rd.
Jay singles, Kozma home, Beltran goes yard!!!!!!! 6-0 :)
Holy Cow!!
I like Kozma!
Is Furcal signed for next season? I'm wanting to think he will be in the second year of a two year deal.
Furcal is my sons favorite Redbird. My kids first MLB game was in 2003 in StL against the Braves. Furcal turned an unassisted triple play that game.
I couldn't believe what I'd seen.....
Lynn touched up this inning. 1 in, 2 outs.
3 in now. He's giving them good stuff to hit.... Time for the hook
I can't believe Matheny left him out there. Now 6-4
So much for that nice, cushy lead..........
Lynn is throwing meatballs, like Wainwright the other night.
2 batters too late Matheny....a very LaRussa like move :/
Descalso made a big play there
6-4 good guys going to the 5th.
Great play by the gigantores infield on the double play. Momentum has flipped to the home team.
Pitching change again. Matheny is paying attention now.
On to the 6th. Sleepwalking the last 2 innings with a false sense of security. Hopefully we've weathered that storm. So important to steal one in Frisco.
On to the 7th. A little more settled that inning. Swing the bats Redbirds!
One to the stretch, still 6-4 good guys.
Muijica strikes out the side on to the 8th. 6-4 Birds.
Yadi reaches on an error, and the bats have went lame. Too conservative at the plate in a game such as this one.
Bullpen saving the Redbirds bacon. On to the 9th. Swing the bats please :)
3 up, 3 down. 3 outs to go for the Redbird defense.
A case of uneasiness during this game, the Giants are a good team. All good however as the Redbirds win game 1, 6-4. Whew!
It's a "W." Lot more good than not in a game like this.
Still playing with house money, but fun to watch them.
House money can pay handsomely when played properly :)
Game 2 at 8:07 EST at AT&T park. Carpenter on the hill for the Redbirds, Vogelsang for the Giants.
It would be sweet to steal another one tonight.
They need to really work with Lynn in the spring and off season to develop a good breaking ball to got with his fast ball, once they caught up with it they had no problem, very little movement.
Pen has been outstanding in the playoffs, something I couldn't say during the season. Cards have some good young arms that could be outstanding over the next few years.
Jazy, their starters have been very hit and miss this year. If the games are tight and 3-4 runs are all the production we get, we are in trouble.
StL has healthy bats. Last year and this year. 2 games in the NLDS they were throttled, low scoring, lost the games. Game 5 was a gift from the baseball gods.
Last night, Matheny went two batters too far with Lynn. He has to use the pen early and often unless it's Carpenter or Lohse. We've been playing with fire with the other starters.
I'm hoping beyond hope another series is in our future, but less confident with our pitching than last year.
