It does hurt Kershaw's reputation to repeatedly fail like this in the playoffs. The Cardinals are his Daddy.

Aren't Cards fans supposed to be the "most knowledgable" and "classiest" fans in MLB? Yeesh...

Here is a video of some of the protest from last night, via Argus Streaming News. It's rather long, so I'll point out some of the egregious cases of Cardinals fans being shitty below.

We start off with a bang. At about the 22-second mark, an old white Cardinals fan begins telling the protesters—all of whom appear to be black—that they need to get jobs. He looks right in the camera, proudly, and says, "That's right! If they'd be working, we wouldn't have this problem!"

At about the 1:30 mark, the crowd of Cardinals fans begin drowning out the protesters' chants with a "Let's go Cardinals!" chant. Well, they could be saying worse things...

At the 2:40 mark, they start saying much worse things. The "Let's go Cardinals!" chant has turned into a "Let's go Darren!" chant. Cool.

At 8:10 one of the Cardinals fans calls one of the protesters a "crack head" and tells him he needs to go see a dentist.

At 8:50 the "Let's go Cardinals" chant starts up again.

At 9:05 one of the Cardinals fans starts telling one of the protesters that if he ever "saw him in the street" he would "look at the ground." They argue for a bit about who would and would not whip whose ass.

At about 10:25 a small blonde lady starts yelling at the protesters: "We're the ones who gave all y'all the freedoms that you have!"

At about 12:14 an older female Cardinals fan begins telling the man holding the camera, who claims he is a former Marine, that she doesn't believe he is a veteran. The conversation does not go well for her.

At 14:54, the Cardinals fans start in on a very loud "USA! USA! USA!" chant.

At 16:07, another Cardinals fan begins yelling at the protesters, telling them that they need to get jobs.

At 16:43, a female Cardinals fan begins chanting "Africa! Africa! Africa!" at the protesters.

At 17:10, a Cardinals fans tells the protesters that they need to remove their hats and pull up their pants.

True there. Still a lot of really ugly stuff from both sides. Though mostly coming from Cards fans.

That should be an out. The rule was adjusted in the middle of the season.

Oh ok didn't realize that...

3 more outs

[ChadFL]

Here were the ESPN.com panel of experts projections for who would win the World Series taken prior to the playoffs. If the Giants close this game out tonight 61 of the 70 experts will already be wrong heading into the LCS.

http://espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs/2014...ing-postseason

Washington Nationals (37)
Los Angeles Dodgers (19)
St. Louis Cardinals (4)
Los Angeles Angels (3)
Baltimore Orioles (2)
Detroit Tigers (2)
Kansas City Royals (2)
San Francisco Giants (1)

[walruswarrior]

That's a tough call to make.

So all four teams that won the LDS were Vegas underdogs. None of the series even went 5 games. Loving all the upsets. I'll go with San Francisco vs. Baltimore for the WS, even though I'd prefer to see KC make it.

It is fun though....

Last time NL teams made World Series: 2012 and 2013.
Last time AL teams made World Series: 1983 and 1985.

It's a great day to be a Giants fan... Dodgers get eliminated, Giants advance... What more can you ask for

[walruswarrior]

Tim Hudson had to go to the Giants to finally get past the first round
