If we would have lost 2 more games in the regular season we wouldn't even be here now. If we were 13-32 instead of 15-30 on May 24th we'd be watching the Phillies get routed by the Cards right now. We just have to win one of the next two games with our two best pitchers. The series isn't over.

Miceli choked last year, we haven't choked yet... don't count them out.

I've never been kicked in the *****...
I can't imagine it feels 1/2 as bad as watching the Astros being a strike from the World Series and end up losing on a 5000ft bomb of a home run by Pujols. Did anyone notice if the ball even landed because it might still be in the air.

The camera actually zoomed in on a fan's sign that said to walk him earlier on in the game.
