Ugh. I'm a big Cardinals fan. The Giants just finished wiping the floor with the Cardinals and that's fine. We had an unbelievably lucky 2011 playoffs so I can't complain that much. What really makes me mad is the national media narrative that this series was won by the Giants rallying after Scutaro was slid into by Matt Holliday. Vogelsong absolutely dealt that game and in Game 6. I'm pretty sure the Cardinals only had one starter pitch past the 4th inning. These are the reasons San Fran beat STL. The Fox pregame compared Marco Scutaro to HOFer Paul Molitor. He's a comparison of their regular season avg/obp/slg

Scutaro: .276/.340/.391 over 11 years
Molitor: .306/.369/.448 over 21 years

Does anyone understand a playoff hot streak? Scutaro is 36 years old. Please hope your GM doesn't sign him to a 3 year deal for $8 million a year.

Albert Pujols left the Cardinals this year. Lance Berkman played 32 games this year. Chris Carpenter started 3 games in the regular season. Adam Wainwright is just coming back from Tommy John surgery. Rafa Furcal blew his elbow out right before the postseason. Meh.

Whatever, the future is really bright in St. Louis. Kelly, Miller and Rosenthal look like complete studs. It's been a hell of a ride this year and I'm already excited about next year.

Thanks for reading my drunken postgame sadness rant. I'm pretty sure no one like baseball here anyway.

Beating washington in the manner in which they did was good enough. Losing to giants doesn't really matter after dethroning the nationals who certainly would have gone on to beat the Giants/win it all

The biggest Rockets, Sixers, and Grizzlies fan you will ever meet!

LOL yeah I read a bunch of those comments. It's funny to see all that stuff tweeted out by Cardinals fans. Nothing would be tolerated like that at Busch Stadium. I once wore a Yankees Suck t-shirt I got in Boston to the Cards/Yanks interleague game and I was asked to turn the shirt inside out.

Of course it was a good shove, I won
