a) Leyland is the best manager in baseball. b) if anyone could go three in seven it would be Kershaw, but they started him on three days' rest because they don't trust Nolasco and I'm hoping it'll bite him in his starts coming up. c) we fucked up and had to use Wainwright again, so unless Kershaw
pitches on short rest in game seven, they won't face each other -- edge, Cardinals. d) we hit Kershaw better than anyone in the majors for some reason. e) I don't want to face Scherzer and Verlander at home and go down 0-2 so you guys had better win in 7 if you win at all. f) fuck the All Star Game. g) fangraphs or someone did a great analysis on Cabrera becoming a "singles hitter" in September after his injuries, but that was before last night. h) good luck in the ALCS!
