After "tickling" with it all season, Jake Arrieta finally throws a No-Hitter against the Dodgers.

I'm sure, #14 is looking down on Wrigleyville, and smiling that BIG smile he was most famous for.

Appreciate your candor. If they don't, this house will do what it always does. Root for the Cards, since they play BASEBALL (not that other thing with 10 guys on a lineup).

Meanwhile, there's tomorrow night...

Should be a great game tonight and a fun series to follow, no matter which team wins the wild card.

Yup! Another Arrieta clinic tonight for the most part.
Always good to see everyone else pull as they have been when the opposition is target-fixated on Bryant & Rizzo. That won't happen in STL though... them Cards are pretty savvy.

Meanwhile, everyone at Wrigleyville is packin'

Yeah, mostly a good game to watch (for a Cardinal fan). We're used to that "all roads have to go thru STL" thing.

Has Matheny historically moved his players among positions like tonight? Maddon does that all the time with the Cubs but some managers don't seem to get the results out of that like these two gentlemen do.

And in the no excuses department, it was still some of the worst calling behind the plate that I've seen in a very long time. No World Series crew for that yokel; thank goodness they rotate.

Yeah, Matheny has to move them around a lot because of all the injuries and so many rookies playing out of position.

The strike zone was wide but it was wide for everybody. Lester made a bunch of throws off the plate that were called too. I have no issue if it's going both ways like that.

Thanks for the mgr info; don't follow as closely so was really curious.

True it was wide for everyone; guess I just like a strike zone to be what it's supposed to. Possibly part of it is that Cubs players this year have had very keen eyes at the plate so that's a piece of their game that gets sidelined. I will give Lackey credit though; that guy can pitch, he was solid.
