Evidently he has a groin strain. I think that Napoli may be bionic. Never expected to see him squatting behind the dish for the rest of the game after that ankle twist, which looked really bad when it happened.<br /><br />On a Cards note, LOL at this quote from Berkman:<br /><br />"When you're a little kid out there, you don't have a bunch of reporters and fans that are ready to call you a choking dog if you don't come through. I'm just cautioning all the little kids out there.

That...Nah, I was only half right, Steady Eddie. <br />That's why I don't do predictions. A coin flip would have worked just as well. Offense on: check. Garcia a good game: Not this time. A clean game: not so much. A good game: heck, yeah! :-)<br /><br />Watched the whole thing and was so wired afterwards that I couldn't fall asleep for some time, but I was trying to be quiet so as not to wake my hubby, who had thrown in the towel and retired after the third Cards error, so I didn't try to post here. (Write run-on sentences much? Um, yeah.)<br /><br />That was such a great game, even if I did have to hit the mute button quite frequently in the late innings. Reminded me of the Tigers/Twins tiebreaker a ways back, where the lead kept going back and forth. Speaking of great games, I got the trivia question right about Game 6 winning dingers (just a lucky guess, I think). That would be three, wait, four. Guess I'll go have some breakfast now, and my first cup of coffee. Will probably need three or four cups today in order to stay awake for tonight's game, just like last night. Oh yeah, I think I heart Ryan Freese. :-)<br /><br /><br /> Hey, 1a, clairvoyant much?<br /><br /> How about trying that for, say, LaRoche's season stats round about April 4?<br /> October 27, 2011 8:40 PMnatsfan1anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-3557078641720635282011-10-28T01:49:23.550-04:002011-10-28T01:49:23.550-04:00Holy socks, this is awesome.Holy socks, this is awesome.Scooternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-30398301923858810382011-10-28T01:10:50.386-04:002011-10-28T01:10:50.386-04:00Stupid Cruz... way to jump way too early in the 9t...Stupid Cruz... way to jump way too early in the 9th.
