Stick it up your ass, Cardinals!

[CrimsonCowboy]

Don't tell me Collins is going to put deGrom in the game.

[Heyward]

Don't tell me Collins is going to put deGrom in the game.

For one inning, wouldnt be bad.

Pretty much a bullpen session.

[Heyward]

Greinke/DeGrom with a spot for the NLCS on the line, buckle up.

[AerchAngel]

Some Cardinal fans are on suicide watch.

Not because they lost. But they lost to the Cubs.

[bravesnumberone]

It'd be the ultimate irony if the Cubs, a third-place team, won the whole thing.

[Heyward]

They won 96 games, not like they barely snuck in.

[CrimsonCowboy]

I know a lot of fans wanting to see someone else besides the usual teams win the World Series. Many are tired of the Giants, Cardinals, Yankees, Red Sox, and such winning it all it seems every year. This ought to make some happy. Of the teams left now:

Toronto Blue Jays: Last won World Series in 1993
Los Angeles Dodgers: Last won World Series in 1988
New York Mets: Last won World Series in 1986
Kansas City Royals: Last won World Series in 1985
Chicago Cubs: Last won World Series in 1908
Texas Rangers: Has never won the World Series
Houston Astros: Has never won the World Series

[bravesnumberone]

They won 96 games, not like they barely snuck in.

Of course. But still they'd be the first third-place team ever to win it. Just neat, considering they've somehow not won in over 100 years.

[The Chosen One]

Technically the Cubs were 5th place in the NL. (2nd Wild Card team non division winner).

[Knucksie]

Heywood whiffed with the game on the line. With his 5.7 WAR or whatever it is, shouldn't he have done better than any generic replacement player?

Ask the Braves. They were sitting on the couch.

[50PoundHead]

Ask the Braves. They were sitting on the couch.

Then it's a stroke of luck that Heyward got traded because he'd have likely been parked on the couch with the rest of the Braves had he stayed in Atlanta.

Is this a serious comment?

Yeah his 1000 OPS in the series was very replacement playerish.

Hey, I think Heyward's great and all, but you often tweak folks on the small sample size angle and shouldn't the same be said here. Heyward's very talented and had a great series, but it is a thin slice in time.

He was arguing against the guy who said Heyward choked in the postseason.

[Horsehide Harry]

I think Knucksie is just tweaking the noses of those on here that believe that the H in Jesus H Christ stands for Heyward...

It doesn't? I just wish we had extended the best player we drafted since Chipper.
