Keys to the Game…(Plus Posts from Flavor and WillieD)

Posted in Uncategorized by chipower9 on October 21, 2012

Flavor Note: This is what happens when one of the stable boys bails on his day. Dirt, I love ya my man! But you flaked today! Anyway, me, Chi and WillieD decided all at once to throw up a thread so I just decided to consolidate them all into one. Pick your topic or start a new one. It’s an anything goes(!) day at The Flap!

This is a freaking WILD way to start off a Sunday, eh? I’ve never felt so alive!!!!!!!

Keys to the Game:
For the Cards, one of the biggies is obviously Carpenter. He wasn’t exceptionally sharp in game 2. The Cards need a better effort from their starter.

Errors. In the games the Cards have lost, they committed errors (two in game 2). Games they won, they were error free. This may seem overly simplified, but it is the reality of the situation.

Bats – were the Cards bats silent in games 2 and 5 or was that the case because of exceptional pitching by the Giant starters? I think it was some of both.

Giants – it all starts and ends with the starters. Games 2 and 5 were wins and the starters were nails. Vogey and Zito were MONEY.

Outside of this, our 3-6 guys need to get it going. 4-8 no one is hitting over .235.

These are just a few of the things that jump out at me that could be key to the game.

What do you believe to be key…other than the final score? 😉

Ho Hum, Another Elimination Game

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on October 21, 2012 Edit This

We are good at these.

I don’t have a feeling about what’s going to happen. I think we’ll win but who knows. I find it funny that so many people are giving this game to the Cards before it’s been played just because Chris Carpenter’s on the mound. Newsflash: It’s not 2005 anymore. I bet Carpenter still wishes it was, he would still have all of his internal body parts inside of him.

Unless we lose in some horrific fashion I can’t imagine being disappointed with the outcome of this game. I didn’t think we’d be here after we went down 0-2 to the Reds so I’m just going to appreciate the gift that the team has given me. I’ll reflect on the season after it’s over and I’ll face another Winter when the time finally comes.

But for now, we’ve got one more game.

One.

More.

Game.

I’m excited.

Vogel-TRON for El Presidente!
ewisco said, on October 21, 2012 at 5:41 pm

that’s just soooo key. get four runs and then come out and have a 1 2 3 inning. I hope cain is taking notes.
Flavor said, on October 21, 2012 at 5:41 pm

Matheny fucked this up in my opinion. When he let Carpenter pitch to Sandoval it was clear he was giving up this game. CCarpenter has had nada tonight, that was obvious. And Panda blasted one in his first at bat. Couldn’t believe they didn’t pull him then
He’s obviously trying to save his bullpen now but he had a chance to keep it close before that Panda at bat and he blew it………
Macdog said, on October 21, 2012 at 5:42 pm

I wanna get a picture of Vogey’s face from tonight and make a mask out of it, so I can really scare the kiddies on Halloween.
- Flavor said, on October 21, 2012 at 5:45 pm
  
  His nickname should be *Nostril-Man*. If he was upside down you could fucking base jump down either of those bad boys……..
chipower9 said, on October 21, 2012 at 5:43 pm

Vogel-TRON has morphed…he has become…

Vogel-STRONG!

Faster than a speeding bullet…

More powerful than a locomotive…

Able to mow down Cardinal hitters with nasty-assed fastballs, curves and sliders…

It’s Vogel-STRONG!!!!
twinfan1 said, on October 21, 2012 at 5:44 pm

I think some folks might be being a litlle tough on Matheny for sticking with Carpenter so long. He needs to take it easy with the pen the next couple days for Game 8…
- chipower9 said, on October 21, 2012 at 5:45 pm
  
  lqtm…
chipower9 said, on October 21, 2012 at 5:45 pm

I’m guessing Vogey had a whole fucking pan of chicken enchiladas last night…
blade3colorado said, on October 21, 2012 at 5:46 pm

Did that stupid fuck just say that defense let them down? Hey, Earth to Fox idiots . . . Carpenter hasn’t exactly been a rock.
- chipower9 said, on October 21, 2012 at 5:48 pm
  
  LMAO…you tell ’em Steve. They would respond but their mouths are stuffed with Cardinal cock…

    LMFAO . . . No shit Chi.

I knew it was a good omen when the F-18s did a fly-over…
- Flavor said, on October 21, 2012 at 6:08 pm
  
  4 of them flew over us in Game 1 of the WS. I’ve got a video of it from my seat on youtube, check it out. It was epic (my friend’s little bro was a pilot).
chipower9 said, on October 21, 2012 at 5:49 pm

Gregor with the gift…we’ll take it…thank you very much…
blade3colorado said, on October 21, 2012 at 5:49 pm

Man, I am loving this shit. Hey, how about a throw hitting third base this game too? 🙂

KKK KKK K
Flavor said, on October 21, 2012 at 6:00 pm

Voggy is not a good pitcher for the Cards. They take a shit load of pitches and he’s a strike thrower on the corners. Plus, it looks like he’s calculating the longest pi number in history in his brain in between each pitch. From a mental standpoint, this guy is operating on a whole other level.

  It’s the Chicken Enchiladas, Craig…

Vogey..Vogey..Vogey….Vogey….Vogey….Vogey…Dude is totally into Halloween mode.Scary as can be throwing nasty stuff!!Freddy Krueger would be scared shitless of Vogey right now.
blade3colorado said, on October 21, 2012 at 6:07 pm

As both Flav and I said earlier, Metheny is totally blowing off this game, leaving Carpenter in. Guess he must think he’s like some Napa wine that gets better with age. Too bad Carpenter is pitching like a bottle of cheap 20/20 MadDog.
Alleykat it's said, on October 21, 2012 at 6:12 pm

KKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shutout preserved. Where’s the video, Flav?
Flavor said, on October 21, 2012 at 6:16 pm

The “Voggy, Voggy, Voggy ” chat was dramatic—- goose bump shit.
chipower9 said, on October 21, 2012 at 6:17 pm

Yep…like Chuck said…video is private.
blade3colorado said, on October 21, 2012 at 6:19 pm

If somehow, someway, we beat the Cards in this NLCS, I’ll rate it above the one we took from Philadelphia in 2010, ONLY BECAUSE IT WILL BE IN FRONT OF THESE IDIOTIC FOX BROADCAST TEAM HOMERS.
Flavor said, on October 21, 2012 at 6:20 pm

Sorry, all my videos have gotten fucked by youtube and all the stupid shit they are trying to get me to upgrade to. I’ve click yes and no so many times I don’t know what’s going on in my account. . Try this.

  Right before the flyover, missiles were fired. Who knew Sabes borrowed the launch codes from Obama? 🙂
unca_chuck said, on October 21, 2012 at 6:31 pm

Too funny. My wife and daughter are driving home from LA now, and they call me in a panic.What station is the game on??’ I’m like, ‘I don;t know.” Look up ESPN in LA and find it. They are happy now.

I know you can’t get KNBR until yer over the grapevine.

Fuck off, Joe. That was up aroud his eyes.

Should have hammered. Still more time. Keep talking, assholes.

Awww, he hit it to Pagan? So sorry, Joe.
unca_chuck said, on October 21, 2012 at 6:38 pm

Next we’ll hear how Vogie’s getting lucky by not giving up more runs.
Salty said, on October 21, 2012 at 6:40 pm

It’s time to scratch out some more runs
unca_chuck said, on October 21, 2012 at 6:41 pm

Tell ya one thing though,. We sure aren’t getting squadoosh off their pen.
- Wilcojoe said, on October 21, 2012 at 6:47 pm
  
  It seems like their runs have all come in bunches during this postseason…Feast or famine.

snarkk said, on October 21, 2012 at 7:22 pm

He had the one seeing eye grounder hit earlier, but I’m still not convinced Pence should be playing. He is right now just about an automatic strike out or a tapped bouncer on the infield. I don’t think Nady would be any worse…
- Alleykat it's said, on October 21, 2012 at 7:30 pm
  
  Pence for sure has a bad case of “Aaron Rowand”disease going right now Snarkk…

And they haven’t even got into the pen heavily tonight.

Thanks to the Zen Master and Mr. Vogel-STRONG.
