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

[adamb100]

Must be nice to be a pitcher booed by your own fans in the first inning of the most important game in the franchise's history.

The fans have a right to boo, Marcum has pitched like garbage in the playoffs.

[Funketown]

First WS in 29 years, elimnation game, and EVERYONE predicted this. EVERYONE.

There's a reason this team hasn't gone far. This team needs somebody on the bench who has the marbles to think outside the box. Honestly, why not just go with a bullpen start? Throw Narv for three innings, Hawkins for two, and then take it in.

[moofnelson]

Oh well, in 29 years we can all go through this again.

[jason21nl]

The defense kills this team again. You throw Jay out, Morgan throws the ball to 2nd where he is supposed to and the whole inning could be different. Defense wins, and this team doesn't have the defense

And it came true.

 

I want to break things.

 

I'm so pissed right now, words can't even describe.

No they didn't. Read the board. Most people picked the Brewers to win, and they were favored.

[DuWayne Steurer]

They'll be doing Marcum a favor by trading him in the off-season. I can't even imagine the boos he'll get next year. His September/October meltdown has been horrific. Pathetic.

[burnzy24]

Hopefully the batters won't press because they are down and take some pitches. Jackson is far from unbeatable.

This is what is so upsetting. It is clear that Marcum has lost it. Dead arm, lost control, whatever.

 

In my opinion RR has been very hypocritical this season with situations.

 

Lets do the usual and try to get some runs and come from behind. Need you tonight offense.

[fondybrewfan]

Well is the offense going to go for the 6 run HR everytime out now or are we actually going to be patient and crawl our way back in this?

[owbc]

That first inning hurts, but the Cards still have to get 27 outs and 4 runs isn't going to win this.

[ninja33]

please answer.

[jwill535]

Grady Little was fired for leaving/using the wrong pitcher, could RR be next?

[Teatoe993]

Now it's time for the 6 pitch innings to begin for our batters.

[jason21nl]

oh, and the missed strike 3 to Pujols

[Beast Light]

Did RR seriously expect Marcum to suddenly turn things around?

 

Now, we will go down without giving our best pitcher a chance to extend the series on 3-days rest. This is the playoffs, not the regular season. Someone should let RR know.

[DuWayne Steurer]

That first inning hurts, but the Cards still have to get 27 outs and 4 runs isn't going to win this.

Not to be a downer, but 4 runs won it for Carpenter when they got 4 in the first the other night.

[bucksman4]

It would hurt more if the Brewers were the better team. Like I said before the series, it's Packers and Bears. Bears won the meaningless divisional title and GB showed they were boss and won when it counted to get to the Super Bowl.

 

The Brewers are the Chicago Bears.

[markedman5]

Very predictable.......Marcum has had nothing for a month and a half.

 

RR didn't have the guts to go with Narveson.......or anyone else for that matter.

What RoCo is referring to, I believe, is putting Marcum on the mound.

Too true, the second I heard Marcum was going to start this game I almost didn't even want to watch because I knew what just happened was going to happen. I am wishing I didn't turn the TV. Need to get the bats going or this is going to be a long painful game.

 

[Fear The Chorizo]

LaRussa's probably going to start playing matchups with his bullpen in the 3rd tonight...

[davego]

Well, 29 years from now I can enjoy the next NLCS from the assisted living center.

[pebadger]

Agree with both of your posts jason.

[Mr QL]

Marcum shouldn't of even been given the start. Narveson has pitched well and could of been ready if Roenicke gave him a shot.

 

And two right down the middle to Corey

[PilprinBuddha]

Marcum's performance in this series has been very disappointing...he has shown me nothing.
