LA played a tough series, but they were foolin' themselves hoping to win two in a row at Busch. As a whole, I like the team, but the immaturity they exhibited was silly. We'll see how long Puig lasts unless he decides to act like an adult soon. Mickey Mouse indeed. Good luck to the Cards against either B'Sox, or the Tigers, we're gonna need it.

So our $78-$80M Million dollar playoff roster won the title

Next argument please

Get over it

Isn't it funny how the losers always bring forth the payroll argument. The Florida Marlins have more WS than the Atlanta Braves

And they paid a lot for one of them, so not sure how your argument applies....

There is no argument. I just remarked that I love how the excuse of a payroll as to why a team doesn't win is the first statement made. It's just an excuse plain and simple. I was just giving you a hard time with the Marlins statement

Joe Buck is announcing the game so what CD should I listen to while watching?

Buck's better than McCarver

But he's retiring after the season

Seriously, Al Downing (same one who gave up #715 to Hank Aaron) is the only baseball announcer I've ever heard that was worse than Tim McCarver. At least Downing only had to pollute local markets; no clue how McCarver became so "popular".

McCarver was an okay announcer...back in the 1980s. He seemingly remained in his coveted position due to inertia. Buck and him are the worst announcing duo in history.

Who knows? He's about as entertaining as paint drying.

Buck and mccarver are terrible. How could these 2 guys still have a job at Fox? I'm glad I have Vin Scully to listen to. L.A. Sports have it the best. Scully and back in the day we had chick Hearn. Two of the best.

Skip Caray (son of Harry, dad of Chip) in Atlanta was always my favorite. I still miss him every time I listen to a Braves game, especially when something great happens.

Some of his great calls:

and then things to make me cry:

Anything would be an improvement. White Noise, for one.

And just remember kids, Buck rhymes with Suck.

Wow Detroit. 2 Slams to beat you.

Dodgers offered Kershaw a 10-year, $300 million deal earlier this year! Now I know for sure he's gonna turn into another Lincecum.

Did someone order a Grand Slam?
