The thing about this game is, the series is as close as it could possibly be, 2-1

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright wasn’t thrilled following Game 3 of the National League Championship Series, and it wasn’t just because he took the loss against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Wainwright didn’t pitch poorly by any stretch of the imagination — he gave up just two runs over seven innings — but the Cardinals couldn’t push any runs of their own across. So Wainwright took the loss, and the Dodgers are now back in the series after losing the first two games in St. Louis.
So Wainwright’s frustration is understandable, but he took issue with more than the way he pitched. The Cardinals pitcher was also a little upset by the way Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez acted.
After Gonzalez hit an RBI double in the fourth inning, he stood on second base and made some celebratory gestures. It was a big hit in a big spot for a player who doesn’t have a ton of playoff experience, let alone playoff success, and Gonzalez celebrated as such. Two batters later, Gonzalez scored on Yasiel Puig‘s triple. It was Puig’s celebration and actions that had everyone buzzing during the game, but Wainwright could only take issue with Gonzalez, as that was the celebration he saw.
“I didn’t see Puig’s reaction,” Wainwright said, according to USA Today. “I saw Adrian doing some Mickey Mouse stuff at second, but I didn’t see Puig.”
Gonzalez defended his actions by saying that’s his go-to move.
“I did what I always do, but we are in L.A., so Mickey Mouse is only an hour away,” he said.

hey theres this one position that doesnt try to be good at hitting, literally the players dont even bother, sometimes they wear jackets when they bat, it def makes the game better and more fun to have them hitting, because of the strategy of trying to prevent them from hitting

while we have lead I'll say I feel bad for Hanle y Ram.

like sure, a pirates-rays WS might be terrible for baseball or w/e, but i think the 2013 WS will go down as "FOOTAGE MSSING" bc the idea of it was so boring no one taped it

boston and st louis are two of the most popular teams, so if it came to that the h8rs of ilb aside i doubt anyones losing the footage

Knowing very little about him, and based only on watching a post game interview with him last night and his smile on the mound visit just then, Hanley seems like a really good guy.
