GDT 10/7/11-Cards (Carpenter) @ Phillies (Halladay) 7:37 CDT

[Radbird]

The kid is in St. Louis so she'll get to experience playoff fever first hand.

The Cheesehead wife is a Brewers fan, so we'll be watching both games (although I might be sent to the basement while she drowns her sorrows by watching a Lifetime movie if the Crew loses...)

[Popeye_Card]

My rowdy friends recently lost their job thanks to their loudmouth boss, so I am inviting them over to hopefully cheer them up.

???

Yep. That's him.

It was only part-time work, and the hours sucked. I think they're better off this way.

[Cronos]

I'm not going to be very productive at work today.

Come to think of it, I have meetings all day anyway...so same difference.

[cards2468]

the system I use to do most of my work is [expletive] up today

oh well, guess I won't do [expletive]

[docellis]

I took the day off.

[Jocephus]

man i hope they win at philly...see all the philly fans depressed and crying and the players watching the cards celebrate on the field just like in NY last night...

can't get ahead of myself though...stay...calm

[heyzeus]

An ex who moved from houston to st louis last year asked me what the deal is with the squirrel and turtle. She's never lived somewhere that cares about baseball like this.

[The Third Man]

I work from roughly 5 to 9, though of course I'm a waiter at a bar and grill so it's not like the game won't be on. Still. At least I'll be off about halfway through the game.

[Felix The Cat]

Having Holliday back is huge. If only because it makes the bench even stronger. As long as Halladay doesn't go beast mode on us again, I like our chances.
