Went to all 3 WC games, and what a wild, exciting and ultimately brutally painful ride that series was. Finally decided to read through this thread today.
After Bauers and Frelick (!!!) went back to back, it just seemed like there was no way we were going to lose. I pulled out my phone in the RF bleachers after Sal's HR and almost bought NLDS tickets, but decided that was tempting fate and quickly put it back in my pocket.
That has to be the worst loss I've ever seen in person at any sporting event, and will likely never fully get over that.
But, let's get this winter over with quickly. I'm ready for pitchers and catchers to report.
The Mets booth was talking about this during Game 1 and decided they'd prefer Milwaukee because the Padres seem stronger.
If that's what they prefer, I say we give it to them.
Couple of nasty sliders from Cornielle to get out of the jam in the 3rd. Got the left-handed batter flailing over the top of the ball on the inner half twice.
