Something to ponder: Another Screw-Job Win For the Cardinals?

I mean, look at Game 1 on Friday night, and tell me someone wasn't stealing signs here.

6-2 Dodgers, Kershaw on the mound.  Yeah, he was getting up in pitch count, etc.

But does that account for THIS?

The two runs were both on home runs before the top of the 7th.

Single, Single...

Runner on second.

Single, single.

Bases loaded, nobody out, one in.

K for one out.

Single again.

Bases loaded, one out, two in.

K for the second out.

Double for three, walk, homer for three more.

Eight in the inning, and that's enough to hold off the Dodgers to snag home field 10-9.

Now, why do I say this is a screw job?

Every one of those runs was on a guy on second.

You mean to tell me the Cardinals are the only team which can hit off of Kershaw?

Or, like Yardbarker has noted for months, are the Cardinals just the best team in baseball at stealing signs?

Play the game the right way, eh?

Fuck the Cardinals.  Hope they lose the next two nights.
