What SPORTS did you watch today?

Watching the Cardinals/Pirates game. Apparently the Dodgers are just going to roll over for San Fran though. They only got 3 hits off some guy I never heard of last night and the Giants already have a 2-0 lead today. If the Giants win the Cardinals can start retooling for next year.

Since the Dodgers are sleepwalking and the result of the Bucs/Cards game won't matter, I switched over to my Rams hate-watch party. C'mon 'zona, punish the Lambs!!!!!

Man, it's not looking good; the Cardinals can't do anything right. That pick Palmer just threw was inexcusable.

I just flipped back to the Cardinals/Pirates game. Apparently Matheny has given up on the season too. With STL up 4-2 after 6, who does he bring in? Fatboy Broxton who promptly surrenders a two-run homer.

Step 1 and 2 of the offseason retooling should be to get rid of Rosenthal and Broxton. If we had won half the games those two have thrown away this season we'd be ahead of the Mets.

Hard to believe the Cardinals were picked by quite a pundits to go to the Super Bowl. From what little I've seen of them, they've looked rather mundane.

And the Pirates are starting to hand the game over to the Cards so it's time to switch over to some NFL.

They looked inept for most of the first half. Fortunately the scored right before halftime and are tied now with the Lambs.

We really hate the Lambs here in STL. You wouldn't believe how many bars and restaurants hold "hate-watch" parties or offer specials when the opposition scores or the day after the Lambs lose. And a local sports bar chain has installed Stan Kroenke urinal cakes in all it's mens rooms.

Not that we're bitter or anything....

hahaha. I just switched back to the Cardinal/Bucs game because the Lambs game went to halftime. But it's now 6-1 Giants in the bottom of the 8th so it's all over. I'm going back to the NFL too.

I flipped back to the game just to see the top of the 9th and like I expected they sent Matt Holliday out to leftfield all by himself to give the fans one last chance to thank him for his service. He's already been told the Cardinals probably won't pick up his option next year so Matheny sent him out in the top of the 9th then when the ovation stopped he replaced Holliday with the "real" leftfielder. Nice moment.

Dammit!  I hate the Rams! Where the hell was this kind of passionate play for the last 15 years?????

I saw the Blue Jays clinch a wild card playoff position this evening.

Yeah the Jays are my AL team for this post-season because I think they have the best team to deny the Cubs a World Series win.

Watched the Steelers dismantle the Chiefs 43-14.

Watching the Giants and Vikings.

Watching the AL Wild Card game.

So far this isn't going as predicted.  MLB Central this morning was using the .wav file from the Bugs Bunny episode with the Gashouse Gorillas to describe how this game was going to go:

It fittingly ended that way though, with Encarnacion walking off a towering 3 run shot.

And did you see that idiot throw a beer can at Kim ? What a waste of beer !

Yeah that was really dumb.

Watched a little of the Giants Mets game and I'm glad to see that the Giants won. Although I'm not a huge fan of the Giants, I will be rooting for them against the Cubs.

I watched this game. I hate the Giants. Thanks Mets for nothing! I'll have to pull for the Cubs over SF.

I don't like the Giants either but now I have to pull for them because I hate Joe Maddon

Watched the Jays destroy Texas

Did anyone else watch the TBS coverage of the Jays/Rangers game?

I don't really have a dog in this fight but I swear the commentary sounded like a Rangers home game local feed.  I didn't catch who was doing the broadcast but whoever it was sounded like Rangers employees.  It was bad.

Fortunately they've got the A team doing the Red Sox/Indians game. 

I usually like TBS announcers but those guys doing the first game were terrible.

HAHAHAHA!

I see Notre Dame lost again!

Since the Dodgers/Nats game was rained out I'm watching the Vandy/Kentucky game.

As much as I disliked living in Tennessee for 8 years one of the high points was Vanderbilt University. Their radio station kept be sane on the graveyard shift I was working and turned me on to lots of indy/punk bands. They also had free outdoor concerts every Spring. And I found the best pizza I've ever had after talking to some Vandy students at one such concert. Plus it's a "real" college; they don't have collegiate athletes majoring in crap like "female studies" or "art history" just so the school can act like a minor league system for the pro sports.

So as much as I hate the UT Vols, I always cheer for the Commodores.

Today I watched NFL Redzone and watched the Lambs do what the Lambs did for most of two decades here.  Hang in there then screw it up at the end.  HAHAHAHA!!!  Get used to it LA fans.
