Wacha vs Lackey game 2 WS

[Troll Daddy]

Good stuff! I'm going with the 2002 game 7 WS winner.

[Erstad Grit]

Lackey has been filthy.

I think Wacha will win that match up.

11 years later Big John getting the ball in the WS. Pretty damn good career for Mr. Lackey.

[HaloFan85]

It'll all depend on Lackey's slider.  If it's anything like it was in his last start, he'll have a good chance at taking game 2.

 

Never seen him have that kind of break on his slider.  Pitch was nasty.

Wacha should have fun pitching 2 games in fenway.

[Troll Daddy]

I can hardly wait until game time. I like the Cardinals chances in this game. Although I'll be rooting for Big John.

Of late he's been seen hanging out with Lester. Hmmm

 

 

Wacha back Lackey, the Cardinals are going to feast on that right arm of yours.

As much as I don't like the Red Sox. I gotta love that Big John is back in the WS pitching again on the big stage and its pretty awesome that Napoli has been in the WS 3 times since he left us. Go with the Ex Angels for some championship all though I couldn't stand the Sox fans.

I hope Lackey doesn't stumble coming out of the gate.

Cardinals to pick this one up to neutralize the home field advantage, and go back to STL and finish it. 

 

They won't if they play the way they played yesterday. 

[m0nkey]

Wachas been too good the past couple of months. I'm thinking he blows up tonight

[Lhalo]

Lackey's an ex-Angel in the playoffs therefore he'll perform well.

No way will they beat the best scoring team four in a row.

[CaliAngel]

As far as I see it tonight is a Must Win for the Cards.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. John Lackey is pitching. I'll just sit here while you drink that in.

[CaliAngel]

Ugh walks. Why they gotta start with the walks.

[Homebrewer]

Both pitchers looking tough through 2...0-0

Come on RedBirds..

[CaliAngel]

What we are seeing from the Cardinals is a lot of whiffs.

[Homebrewer]

Nice job by Wacha to get through the heart of the order without damage.

Cards need to start banging some balls off  the monster..

[CaliAngel]

Cardinals bats better start waking up and scoring runs or this is gonna be a short series.

1 run ain't gonna do it.

[Angel Oracle]

Wacha is filthy. If only a Wacha clone was available in this draft with the 16th pick. Knowing us though, it'll be a Joe Torres or Bootcheck clone.

Napoli has only been there once before this one.

[disarcina]

Of course they mention that the Cards got Wacha with the draft pick they got for compensation for the Halos signing Pujols.

 

and then they used the money saved from Pujols contract to sign Beltran to a two year deal..........

 

ah, great.  Always nice to be reminded of this.

 

GO CARDS!

[disarcina]

Not a Lackey fan.........one of the few Angels who I don't root for.

 

Still a sour taste about how he left the Angels and the attitude he took upon leaving.

 

Not too many ex-Halos I feel that way about -- even Napoli who I felt was sort of given the bum's rush out of Anaheim by Scioscia -- but Napoli played well whlle here, gave it his all and just couldn't crack into a full time position because Scioscia liked Mathis' defense better........personally, I thought both Napoli and Mathis were fairly weak behind the plate -- but Naps, IMO, was nothing more than a third string back up catcher who's real role was 1B-DH.
