I know, I know, nobody cares. Well, in the interest of full documentation, I’m putting up a post about these games anyway.
Giants at Cardinals, 2:00PM HST/5:00PM PT, TV: Fox
Jake Peavy for the Giants, Lance Lynn for the Cardinals. The Cardinals need to win to even the series at a game apiece. Peavy is 6-4 with a 2.17 ERA in 12 starts with the Giants this year after going 1-9 with a 4.72 ERA with the Red Sox. Lynn was 15-10 for the second year in a row while shaving his ERA from 3.97 to 2.74.
Here. This may brighten your day.
One positive of the Dodgers 2014 being over: Andruw Jones is no longer on the payroll

Haven’t seen a single pitch of the so-called NLCS.
I can’t believe we were still paying Andruw Jones this past year!!!
Bloody Dru. He just about replicated his average performance in Atlanta after he left the Dodgers (though with about half as many PAs per season in 2009-12.
Wikipedia: ” since 2007 – the year he turned 30 – he has hit just .214.”
He’s played in Japan the last two years. He played for The Netherlands in the 2013 Baseball Classic.
For us he put up an OPS+ of 35, 2009-12 he was at 108.
