Other than Matheney's move with choosing and keeping Choate in the tenth in game #3 the pen is not really the problem. And I don't even blame Choate. He did what I thought he'd do once he got by the second batter.

Cardinals D has been off, bad and not nearly good enough to win a series like this.

Look at almost every Giants run and you will see it came off a bad defensive play or outright error.

Last night no exception, particularly runs 5 and 6.
