    Numbers are for 2024: It doesn’t count toward the max of $23,000 employee contribution to Traditional and/or Roth 401(k). It does count toward the total employee+employer contribution limit of $69,000. The difference between $23,000 employee contributions plus employer contributions and the...

    If a guy hit a home run 25% of the time and walked another 25% of the time he would be the greatest hitter in the history of the game. Are you saying that's what you think Chris Davis is?

    Cubs fans are so cute, they win a couple games against the Cards and they act like they've won the World Series. They obviously have short memories (you need one to be a Cubs fan) or they'd remember that the Cubs have lost 6 of 7 in STL this year. I wonder how he felt when Peralta hit that 9th...

    He said from 10am to 12:24am, wouldn't that be 14h24m? Works out to about 30h of life with his level of usage, sounds like damn good battery life to me.

    A very intelligent post. This is what fans of other teams that suck look like.

    Well, the Cards continued their postseason dominance of Kershaw. 8 runs in the 7th inning, just wow. Carpenters at-bat was awesome. I get the complaints about the Cards, but it's all nothing more than thinly veiled jealously from fans of teams who didn't make the postseason 11 out of the past...

    If they end up tied they will play a one game playoff to determine who is the division winner. That game will be played in St. Louis because the Cardinals won the season series. I would say ending up tied is a very real possibility with how hot the Pirates have been lately, but the Cards have...

    Well, he is a Reds fan. Rather appropriate I would say. Cutch is good, no doubt.

    The Pirates went nearly a month without playing a team with a winning record, it's hardly surprising that they got "hot". They've since dropped 3 of 4 to the Cards and the first of the series to the Reds. Meanwhile the Brewers are absolutely reeling. Having dropped 9 of the last 10, they...

    Just got myself tickets for games 3-5. Will be my first World Series games. Gonna be the 4th time this postseason that I've made a 12.5 hour drive to St. Louis and back to see games. This whole government shutdown mess made it super easy for me to get away. Can't do any business when all of...

    I made the long drive to go to both games, just got back home. I agree they got a bit lucky, there was definitely a feeling that the Dodgers should have won both games, but they didn't. They had a lot of base runners but the big guys in the lineup repeatedly struck out, popped up, whatever...

    Well I'd love to get back to St. Louis for game 5 but work isn't going to allow it. Had a blast at the first game, second game wasn't so much fun. Had to do a lot of catching up when I got back home for work though. I figured the cards would drop game 3 to Liriano, they surprised me by having a...

    I'll be driving 14 hours tomorrow to St. Louis to attend games 1 and 2. I for one will not be bandwagon jumping to the Pirates. They looked good tonight, or was it that the Reds were so bad? They looked like they had no business being in the postseason. Hopefully will be a good series...

    Oh I hear ya. I actually have this scenario in my mind that I think would be pretty fun to watch, no telling if it will happen or not. Atlanta finishes with best record, they play the winner of the wild card playoff (I'd hate to see what I consider the 3 best teams in the NL have to eliminate...

    You can't have all of the other playoff teams waiting for 3 days (or more depending on travel days between the two ballparks) while the two wild card teams duke it out. Also if you make it 3 days you have a scenario where the wild card teams could pitch their best guy in game 1 of that series...

    Not to imply the Cards are any better on the road... It's weird, early in the year they had an insanely good record on the road but since that road trip to Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and Cincinatti started they've been really bad. They also started off the year mediocre at home but have been near to...

    Owned in Pittsburgh maybe. When the Pirates are away from home they are as beatable as anybody else is on the road.

    I rather enjoy someone taking that view because I'm a Cardinals fan. I grew up in between Cincinatti and St. Louis, closer to St. Louis, so it's only natural that I became a fan of them. Your point of view is one I've felt towards Yankee fans my whole life. If you feel it towards me it's...

    As long as Johnny Cueto isn't around to kick people in the head like a fucking pussy and end their careers.... I enjoyed the hell out of that game. Only thing that could have made it better would have been if Votto had tossed that ball into the stands when he thought there were 3 outs.

    Pirates are 7-3 against Cards so far, 7 of those games were in Pittsburgh, 3 in St. Louis. They play 9 more times, 3 of those games in Pitt., 6 in StL. I have a feeling it will even out a bit. The Bucs have a chance to capitalize this coming week though, 3 game series in StL and the Cards are...

    The question is how would you feel if your woman fucked another guy? If you"d be cool with it then cheat away, but if it would make you go insane then perhaps you should pay her the same respect you expect to be receiving from her.
