Greetings from PNC Park, where the sun is shining and the tailgaters are out in force. It has the feeling of a normal Pittsburgh October… only, the Steelers aren’t playing. There has been a lot of talk about the electric atmosphere that is expected here tonight, but that’s hardly a point of intimidation as far as the Cardinals are concerned. They welcome the crowd. They welcome the noise. What I want to know is how long until the Pirates fans pull out the Kelll-lllly chants? You know it’s going to happen.

Late in the season, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny had three fixed points in his everyday lineup. If they were available, it was clear that Matt Carpenter would bat leadoff, Matt Holliday would be No. 3 and Yadier Molina would sit at No. 5, where Matheny has often said the catcher fits best.
Cardinal Beat
Pirates ace Francisco Liriano has been like kryptonite to the Cardinals in 2013. No one has frustrated the Cards bats more. This season the lefty gave up just two runs on ten hits to them in 24 innings to go along with a ridiculous .127 opponents batting average. That's a 0.75 ERA fort those scoring at home.
