Should the Cardinals spot the Phillies a game for beating the Braves 3 straight?

They could have just rolled over last night and forced an extra Braves/Cards playoff game which would have left the winner less prepared for the divisional series.

no, braves beat themselves, it was in their hands and they didn't want it. we had plenty of opportunities in game 1 and 3, the phillies seemed to do everything in their willpower to hand the braves those games but they didnt want it

No. If anything, the Phillies did it for their own confidence going into the playoffs since they were losing more than usual before the Braves series

The Phils did break their franchise record afterall so it is not like they didn't have anything to play for. Plus they did not want to go into the playoffs with a 10+game losing streak.

I credit and thank Charlie for helping the Cardinals but don't forget he did rest his regular SPs last night by giving Blanton the start.

No, I wanna see the playoffs started right away than watch to half medicre teams play and delay 1-day of the playoffs.

I hope the Phillies take them down 1-2-3 quickly don't like St Louis at all
