Bull pen bottom of 9th w/ 1 run lead is ALWAYS gut check time. Sure would like there to be a 5th game in STL. Keeping it interesting.
Cards hang on 2-1!! I chewed my fingernails off on that win.
Congrats... I think y'all win Game 5... I hope I'm wrong, just losing like this today was rough...
"Rookie takes no-hitter into eighth, gets relief from two other rookies as Cards beat Pirates 2-1 to tie the NLDS at 2-2."
Can you believe this? This makes two games in row that he has a no-hitter going into the 8th.

Thanks, CP. That was a great win and a tough loss.
Props to Pirate fans today. They gave Wacha a standing ovation as he walked to the dug out. Just watched the game on my DVR when I got in from work, and had to rewind to see it again. All class.
"Starting pitcher Michael Wacha flirted with a no-hitter before allowing Pedro Alvarez's solo homer in the eighth inning. From there, Carlos Martinez and Trevor Rosenthal closed out the 2-1 victory and forced the decisive Game 5 Wednesday at Busch Stadium.
That trio combined to throw 88 fastballs with an average velocity of 95.86 mph, Yahoo! Sports scribe Jeff Passan noted via Twitter."
95.6mph!!!! That's bring the heat.

They were trying to get in his ear all game long but the applause shows they admired the performance. Great one that it was. Should be a heck of a game in StL.
I do think that the Pirate fans need to realize if they just chant a pitchers name the whole game it loses affect. It's cool that they do it so well, but they should only do it when pitchers are in a bind.
Taking my squirrel to the game tomorrow.
That Wacha kid has been unbelievable in crunch time. Amazing.
It's the Pete Kozma show!
And that's a winner!! And on we go to face the Dodgers.
Congratulations to all the Cards fans here. I'm a fan of them too, but just not as passionate about the sport.
What a truly great franchise.
3rd straight NLCS appearance GO CARDS!!!!
YESSIR! Go Cards! NLCS Bound

Indeed! Time to get another Pennant and get #12. I believe!
That was a GREAT win. I've feared this series more than any potential one. We beat a really good team.
