Me neither. Insufferable. Both because we'll have lost to the Cubs. And all the Cubs fans.

Well that certainly wasn't strike 3.

Juuuuuuuuuust a bit outside.

gif of that lady screaming "you suck you suck" to umps?

This ump is terrible. Giving Arrieta 6 inches on both sides of the plate.

And the media, and Joe Maddon.

GDI I'm just going to avoid it altogether

Arietta is already difficult to beat, but when the ump is giving him calls 3 inches off both sides of the plate....it's curtains.

I know exactly what it will be like, just like being a Bears fan living amongst many Packer fans when I predicted Green Bay would beat the Bears the last game of the season and then march through Chicago in the NFC title game to the super bowl. It sucks.

Yup, and even though the Cards lost to Cole last week, I thought he looked very hittable. Cards were getting unlucky with BABIP.

FanForever asked if Liriano should start tonight. I thought he was a better match up for the Pirates but Hurdle would never have lived it down if Liriano got lit up. no one will blame Hurdle for Cole sucking.
