Adding Insult to Injury

RE: Adding Insult to Injury
Man, if the Tigers pitch like that in the Series, they'll take it in 4. They have a team that is reminiscient of the 2010 Giants except that the Tigers can score loads of runs. Scary good at the right time.

I disagree with that. I'm not saying they won't win, but there is no way that they sweep the WS. Look at what the Giants & Cards have done in the NLDS series'. Both are extremely resilient and can go on a tear in a hurry. I thought SF was done after 2 games against the Reds. You know what happened there. The Cards looked like they were gone early in Game 5 against Washington. That comeback wasn't just 'luck', they have very skilled batters AND relief pitchers.

Now look at what the Cards are doing to opposing pitchers. They've won 7 of 10 so far in the PO's. Two of the 3 they lost were by one run. Of the 7 they won, they scored at least 2 more runs than the opposing team and 3 times they won by 5 to 8 runs. They keep sending the opponents' Starting Pitchers to the bench early and wearing out the bullpens. San Fran had a clear advantage in Starting Pitchers, but the Cardinals bats and bullpen keep winning.
Personally, I have been looking forward to a 2006 WS rematch. I just hope it is a better fight this time. Wink

Maybe next year Girardi will learn to walk Young as he has now been a Yankee killer for multiple years. Also, maybe next time the NYPD will keep him locked up longer. Smile

It does seem odd that you hear a large outcry from us fans when we hear of a player getting caught using PEDs, but we tend to forget Young's comments--or other dumb things athletes do--passing them off and saying, "Oh, athletes are always doing/saying something stupid."

Of course, these athletes probably love living under a microscope and having us scrutinize every move they make!

Didn't Young throw his bat at an umpire when he was in the minors?
