NICE WIN HASH....ST LOUIS CAME TO PLAY TONIGHT...UNFORTUNATELY SLOPPY PLAY HAS COST EACH OF THESE TEAMS IN THESE FIRST 2 GAMES....AS A SOXS FAN ITS SCARY GOING BACK TO ST LOUIS FOR 3 STRAIGHT:scared...AGAIN NICE CALL ON THE SUPER DANK...AND I TOO LOVED GETTING HIGH AND WATCHING THE JOY OF PAINTING...THAT MOFO COULD PAINT HIS ASS OFF:weed:
:toast:
LP, yeah the sloppy play has marred the quality of this World Series, but at least it has been even for both teams. It will be interesting to see how the Sox fare in St. Louis. I think they will struggle. My prediction is that St. Louis takes Games 3 and 5 and the Sox go home trailing 3-2. I wonder how long it will take MLB to switch to the 2-2-1-1-1 format now that the NBA has.
Updated Record 15-19 -1.81
Everyone is getting out the shovel to bury St. Louis. To me, it seems like a hell of a long shot for this one not to go the distance. I'll gladly take the kid who has been on fire as a dog. This is the toughest game of any season. I don't think the Sox are ready to do it without their backs against the wall.

Thank God these playoffs are over. Let me say it again.
I HATE THE FUCKING CARDINALS!
Play like animals to cost me a fortune in the NCLS, and then go like lambs to the slaughter in three straight. Please keep this horribly boring franchise out of the playoffs for the next couple decades at least. I know I am not the only one tired of them.
Congrats to the Red Sox and their backers! Great team and franchise! They play the game the right way. Nice to see it rewarded.

I would rate this comment up there with the most bizarro world rants I have read on this message board. Yes, I get it, you lost against the Cards last series and lost with them this series. Really, either of those series could have gone either way, that's playoff baseball. Things turn on a few pitches, like the non-sinker Maness threw to Gomes. Tough to predict, sorry you lost.
Not sure how exactly they are boring. Perhaps they don't hit balls off the wall and throw a party for themselves at home like the Puig. Perhaps they don't grow long facial hair and pull it after a big hit. Maybe they don't yell and scream. Perhaps their light show before the game wasn't good enough? I mean, they certainly aren't as exciting as Peyton Manning. Or Andrew Wiggins. Or anyone else you love on one of your favorite teams. I'm not saying you shouldn't like those teams as to each their own, but your rant on the cards almost defies logic.
I think it would be hard to consider the Cardinals anything but one of the model franchises in all of sports. They have been in 4 WS since 2004, winning 2. They have been to the playoffs 10 times since 2000. Of course, their history before that is remarkable, if you would be willing to take a look at it. And better yet, they have done this without spending insane amounts of money. They have cultivated an amazing farm system and have been able to develop their own players AND players others have casted off (See John Axford). That's what sports are all about right, building talent and improving. Not buying a bunch of it and shoving it out there.
How many other organizations could lose two front end starters AND their closer at the beginning of the year and still go to the World Series? So, just look at what they have on their roster now (they played NINETEEN rookies) and what they have in the farm system (it's almost unbelievable) and you will quickly realize why they were #1 in ESPN's most recent future rankings. They will likely be back. Several times.
So, while the injury to Craig hurt this year and not being able to bring up Taveras (who should be more "exciting" for you) because of injury also was a blow, they made it to the World Series. They did this without the rah rah look at me nonsense that has percolated most of sports today. They lost at the end, and there was no whining or finger pointing.
I'm no big time homer. I'm a serious gambler. I didn't grow up in St. Louis either, but I live here now. When I first came here, I wasn't a Cards fan. Because of how seriously I take the gambling side of things, I have very few true allegiances left in sports. But as someone who has followed this organization closely, I have come to admire the way they do things. It's impressive and effective, and its hard to say they don't do it the right way.
