Yeah, him too! Not quite as bad as when I posted somewhere about "Jimmy" Hendrix, but I'm embarrassed.
Screw that. Cards are in the WS! First time with home field advantage since '82. They'll need every bit of it.

Re: NLCS 6th and deciding game
It's a crazy game. Their playing with house money. Here's hoping they stay loose. And here's hoping the "experts" pick the Rangers. Preferably Rangers in 3.

Max, if you're still looking for Westbrook, they just showed him with a Budweiser in one hand and a bottle of champagne in the other.

Re: NLCS 6th and deciding game
They won't need three games to finish off the Cards. Their offense is so strong we'll see more lead off grand slams than have ever been seen in a WS.

Take notice Bill DeWitt: you bumped payroll WAY up, went ALL in, and you have a team in the WS.

Glad to know he's not off playing golf somewhere.

Max, payroll does not correlate with what is now a 30-13 run and one of the worst collapses in baseball history. This has been a fun and rewarding postseason, but it shouldn't excuse what was otherwise a poorly-constructed and poorly-run team for the first five months.

It is easy to look smart when your team wins. Westbrook, Loshe, Freese and all the players moved in the Rasmus trade look like good moves when headed to the WS.

Wasnt the Cardinals leading the division for 2 1/2 of those months?

Re: NLCS 6th and deciding game
Mozeliak was willing to trade Rasmus because the Cardinal farm system is full of players ready make the big leagues . . . like Craig and Lynn?!?
Hint: if you don't know what you're talking about, SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Yeah, that was kind of a curious take. And Lynn wasn't "the last guy to make the roster." He was nails before he got hurt.

your bad.
that was sad.
The first reaction was a chuckle but then we did feel pretty sad for her. It was still fairly early too wasn't it? But it's baseball & someone does have to go home sad while many others go away happy.
Lets hope we're the ones leaving the World Series HAPPY!!

I didn't laugh. But I almost threw a shoe at my TV set. That was pathetic.

Re: NLCS 6th and deciding game

In a rare display of my sensetive side. I flipped her the finger as she wept.
I felt bad for Atlanta, and I felt bad for Philadelphia. For us to advance, someone had to lose. For the NLCS however, it was different. I was perfectly happy to pound the absolute shit out of Milwaukee.
In game 2, where the game was pretty lopsided, I was cheering for more. Always more. 5-0? It's still early. Stay on them. 7-2? We need more runs! 11-3? Take the life out of that opponent!
Game 6? 25 runs wouldn't have been enough. I wanted to pound Milwaukee relentlessly. I wanted Fielder to burn his jersey after the game, pack up his locker and move to the American League where he'd NEVER have to come against the St. Louis Cardinals again. I wanted everyone in Milwaukee to feel the way Robin Yount felt, and then some. I wanted them to know that no matter how many franchise records they put up, they can count on St. Louis to be right there waiting to send them packing. The only thing that would have made the night complete is getting access to their locker room and hearing someone stand up and say "Morgan, Grienke.... This is what happens when you mouth off to an opponent when there's still a prayer they will see you again. Next time, shut the hell up."
It's ruthless, Gibson taught me early. Someone has to lose, and no matter how many girls sit crying on TV, at least it isn't us!

They were in first from April 20 to May 13 and again over another stretch in late spring, but over June, July and August they were a combined 39-41. The Trade rectified their mistakes (bullpen, rotation, shortstop), but they played a ton of mediocre baseball. Even in April and May they were looking pretty flimsy.
