2011-10-16 Cardinals (Jackson) at Brewers (Marcum) [Brewers lose, 12-6; lose NLCS 4 games to 2]

I may or may not get emotional during Prince's last at bat here.

The STL are so much like the 2010 Packers it isn't even funny.

 

Packers squeak into the playoffs, in part, because the NYG choke late in the season.

STL squeaks into the playoffs, in part, because ATL chokes late in the season

 

GB goes ont the road to PHI, Wins

STL goes on the road to PHI, Wins

 

GB plays division rival who won division; proceeds to beat them pretty handily

STL plays division rival who won division, proceeds to beat them pretty handily

 

The only thing that doesn't match is TEX; so I don't know how that will play out

 

Wisconsin sports fans have been spoiled recently; I guess we were due for a let down sooner or later

[YoGasKpose]

Whatever happens the next inning and a half, this has been one heck of a ride. Lots of good memories to take from this year. And Nyjer's walkoff single is a moment fans of lots teams would kill for.

 

Still, let's show at least a little fight here, huh?

[a3uge]

Can Corey Hart play 1st base? Is that a possibility?

edit: and someone agrees between the similarities between 2010 Packers and 2011 Cardinals.

Standing ovation for Prince from me.

[davego]

Thanks, Prince. The time flew by.

I may or may not get emotional during Prince's last at bat here.

I won't at all. I've always been indifferent to him, I appreciate his offense but he's plays horrible defense and with Boras as his agent he was never going to stick around. I have a hard time getting attached to any particular players with FA.

[brewmann04]

LOL and they used to call me depressing thank you buckskin for getting the #1 title .

[brewmann04]

The Brewers this series looked like crap but they were never in this series.

[craigharmann]

Here's what I am holding solace in. Cards will get crushed in WS. Al will either get his money from the Cards or someone else. If he signs with the Cards, they won't have the money to field anything decent around him. Otherwise, if he leaves, they'll still stink because they're the Cards.

[iluvlamp]

Love Ya Big Guy!!!!!!!

[Oldcity]

I am so sick of Lance Lynn.

[Mr QL]

Farewell Prince

[razzzorsharp]

The Cards can go on and win the World Series, I really don't care. I won't watch a minute of it just like I haven't watched it the past 5 years. Packer season officially starts in five outs for me.

[owbc]

Thanks for everything Prince. Go get your big contract, no hard feelings.

[ELCABALLO45]

If this is it Prince, thank you for everything.

[ninja33]

tip of the cap to prince. we'll miss you boss. I want to keep watching you play baseball and enjoy it, so please don't play for the Cubs.

[Glennron]

A week ago I thought it would've been soul crushing had the Cards knocked out the Brewers, but it hasn't been nearly that bad. Probably cause I know the Brewers just didn't play well enough.

[adambr2]

He'll go wherever the most money is, I'm afraid, whether it's the Brewers or Cubs.

 

I don't get the feeling that Prince has strong enough personal feelings either way about being a Milwaukee Brewer one way or another. His friends on the team, yes, but the organization, no.

[owbc]

That was a real classy gesture by Pujols by the way. He's not exactly known for class, but it shows respect and I appreciate it.

[bucksman4]

Well they're 6-0...they've been dominating for the whole season. Youll enjoy them a lot more than this team.

[FoxyFoxes]

No way they pull prince mid inning?

[Oldcity]

At least this won't come in heartbreaking fashion. I appreciate that much.

[wOOgiE22]

Fitting end to the series, force the pitchers out of the game early and let the bullpen shut you down. Ehhh, on to Packers season.

[fondybrewfan]

Yeah I thought I was going to be pissed off if we lost to the Cards; but when it is pretty evident that we just ran into a really hot team (While also playing pretty crappy ourselves) it does make it easier to stomach. They were outplayed; plain and simple
