Didn't see jackattack's message til he quoted it--just in case you thought I was ignoring it lol :#
Kershaw wasn't only bad pitching wise in that game. I watched it through and through. His -head- was messed up. He had no guts for that game, he looked like he could puke. He was too nervous for it. It'll take a lot for him to man up in big games, IMO
Lester did amazing in playoffs and always has shown great pitching prowess. I was going to say a Red Sox pitcher would be my pick. My only suggestion to him would be: less pine tar in WS games please ;)
Also Melody saying Kershaw is bad in big games is not a good statement. He got smacked around by the Cardinals last year yes. But the bats in the cards lineup usually do hit Kershaw well. Before that he played in 1 other playoff series since 09'. Keshaw is the best
Also Murray will win a Slam then fall off the map for 2 years. Djokovic should be able to sneak another 3 wins in the next 2 years. I truly hope he beats Nadal on clay. I truly hope.
djokivic will take over for teh next few years in tennis and i wouldn't be surprised if he wins roland garros next year. nadal is finished imo. serena could still win but idrc. halep nd bouchard are the players of the future when it comes to womens tennis. in the current generation of mens players, there is no player of the future. if things stay this way, it'll be like the early 2000's where everybody was able to win a few.
We aren't talking about that. Even I, a Cardinals fan, do not defend Wainwright. We are talking about pitchers who man up in the big games. Wainwright is iffy, Kershaw is awful in big games. We were talking about playoff-tier pitching, not season.
Also best pitcher in baseball is Clayton Kershaw and its not even close. The guy had 41 and 1/2 scoreless innings. The guy is an animal and he's gonna throw a perfecto very soon. I can feel it.
@Yeezus I'll also talk Tennis Djoker finally got off the snide and won another major grays to him. Serena is done in my eyes she can't seem to put together another streak like last years, which is a warning sign to me. Bouchard will be a beast in the coming years (And she won't blow up like Wozniacki.)
Look you are bashing a Yankees team that has 1 of their starting rotation of the beginning of the season. I'm not saying the team is a championship team as constructed but being 1 over 500. at this point in the season is mildly successful without CC and Nova. This team also hasn't hit all season and have been dreadful with runners in scoring position. As a diehard fan that watches nearly all 162 this team isn't good enough to win a championship but they are by no means out of a tight AL East race. If they start to hit and the fill in's of Francis and McCarthy pitch decently well (Meaning sub 4 ERA) This team can be in the race till the end. Don't bash my Yanks.
Also @Melody, The Cardinals will be decently effected by the loss of Molina. They are losing the best catcher in the league hands down. However what Molina brings from a leadership side is much more important than even his bat and his defense. They are a playoff team but not a World Series team.
if he plays teh way he played this wimbledon then yes. as long as he doesn't need to beat nadal to win. either way, he's clearly the GOAT so it doesn't really matter.
