STL 9, LAD 0; Cards move on to Series

With respect for the Cardinals and congrats to their fans, that was hideously painful, and not just because of how many people watched Kershaw and Greinke receding inevitably into the rearview. Wacha is a great young pitcher but you still hate to see that shit. (Especially, let's face it, since nobody picked the kid.)

Points:
Adams 3
Beltran 4
Carpenter 2
Molina 2

Kershaw 7

And that it's it for:
A-Gon
Puig
HanRam
Greinke
Kershaw

The money:
Johnson 1 181
Bingham 1 172
Dunn 160.33

Other standings and some housekeeping after the jump.



Birthworthy 160
Reid 158

Cameron 1 153.33
Quinn 151.67

Tormey 146.33
Johnson 2 140

Cameron 2 138.33
Shotwell 133.67
Green 133
Ramos 131.99

Bingham 2 128.66

Sheebell 116

Bunting 2 97.67
Bunting 1 95.33

Rogers 74
Stempardson 66

It's time to start facing some mathematical realities -- so after this update, Rogers and Stempardson will join me on the bench, because what's the point(s). Sorry, friends.

If tonight's game goes the way I think it will -- i.e., the Sox deliver the killing blow at Fenway -- then several other poolies will be out of contention as well, but let's see how it goes. Good luck to everyone else, and tonight's Buchhorzer showdown starts at 8 ET.
