I don't think anyone is going to beat the Cards in the NL this year.

Man, the first 4 games (3 technically) of the postseason have been terrible. At least when Kershaw throws a no-hitter tonight it'll be exciting.

I don't know. The Dodgers and Braves both have the ability to blow up offensively, so either team out of that series could give them a run, but the Cardinals are so consistent in every part of the game.

The Dodgers are too injured and blew their load too early imo

El Oso Blanco barely missed a great catch.

Blue get two.

You may have discounted the Dodgers a bit too early.

Giving Kershaw four runs is basically a death sentence for the opposition.

I wasn't saying the Dodgers couldn't beat the Braves, just don't think they can beat the Cards

Heh, Kershaw just fell behind Medlen 3-0 and then struck him out.

I also realized the Tomahawk chop will be incessantly annoying, being as they played it three times during that at bat.

first playoff win in 4 years.

1 down.

i'd like to start Greinke in game 3. But I'm going down with the ship. I'm aboard and along for the ride.

Kershaw may be the most dominant player in the game today.

Can't lie.

feels good to go from the guy who is obviously biased saying he's the best pitcher in the game because Verlander is Verlander to a guy who doesn't really need to say much at all about the guy.


definitely my favorite athlete.
hope he goes 88 Orel Hersh....but of snow, this was awesome.

Disappointing to get Kershaw on a not very good night and only come away with 1 run. Then again, I went in expecting to get shutout so the 1 run was kind of nice. :D

Don't suck tonight Braves and it's all good!

Don't like the Dodgers but hate the Braves way more, so go Dodgers. If the Dodgers win tonight, series over.
