Absolutely!

It’s never mattered as much as sweeping this series.

Braun kinda Cadillaced his 9th inning HR – plus they untuck their shirts. But they lost four straight, that’s the real reason.

and the untucked jerseys is the most ridiculous 12 year old thing i’ve ever heard.

Do you tuck your shirt in at work? Don’t you untuck it when you get in the car if it’s a hot sweaty day?

If it’s okay for Pujols to stand there and watch his home runs with that glisten of pride in his eyes, why isn’t it for Braun? It’s because he’s not on your team right?

And the potentially decisive 12th game will be Monday against the Cubs, with a certain reigning AL Cy Young winner pitching for us. You think people love CC now? Wait till he wins that game singlehandedly with a complete game shutout and a home run.

Zach Cozart, the guy who was hit in the head with a pitch and had to leave the game, is a pretty good prospect

2nd-round pick, 22-year-old SS hitting .276/.334/.474 at Class A. He played there last year too, though, so his performance should be discounted a little, and he’s a little old for the league.

Which is why you should only cruise the opponent's fanblogs after a win instead of a loss.

Cowardly? Maybe. But it’s a lot easier to keep from wading into their discussions when you’re not so angry you can’t see straight.

How about some appreciation for Torres? He struck out the side against some tough hitters, after probably not expecting to come in. I’m ecstatic about Braun’s homer, but Salomon Torres should share some of the glory. What a performance.
