Cards at Dodgers again – let’s root the Birds on to victory tonight! NLDS Game 2 – Cards vs Dodgers
In the handful of hours since the Cardinals lost Game One of the NLDS to the Dodgers, the realization has set in that the Dodgers didn’t play much (if any) better than the hometown club. Sure, they had more timely hits – both with the bat and by the ball – than the Cards, but […]

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your viewpoint), it now serves as a great distraction from the late innings of Game One between the Cards and Dodgers out at Chavez Ravine.

NLDS St. Louis Cardinals (90-67) versus Los Angeles Dodgers (93-65) NLDS Colorado Rockies (89-68) versus Philadelphia Phillies (91-66) —– Look familiar? Yeah, me too. Nothing has changed since Tuesday, except these teams won and lost some games respectively. Colorado has effectively clinched the NL Wild Card (Matt Diaz says you’re welcome!), and the Dodgers have […]
Without a doubt this is a list in flux, and I presume that’s the case for more folks than just yours truly. Last season’s list bore little resemblance to what it would’ve been in mid-July of this season, and neither of those would match with the list below. Even my late posting of this list […]

NLDS St. Louis Cardinals (90-66) versus Los Angeles Dodgers (93-64) NLDS Colorado Rockies (88-68) versus Philadelphia Phillies (90-66) —– The Phillies and Dodgers continue to play similar to the Cards, that is, relatively poorly compared to their prior months. Philly is 4-6 in their last ten, with the Cards and Dodgers both 5-5. Philadelphia would […]
