CRAPSTACKS! 1 strike, that's all we needed. ONE STRIKE! and WTF was Garner thinking to pitch to Pujols anyway? at least we have one of the best pitchers in the national league starting wednesday.

The Cards pulled that one out of the dumper, but they still have a ways to go.

This might be sycamore's pre-christmas miracle.

Silly me, I watched the Rams get their asses beat last night.

He was thinking "You know, I really don't want to intentionally put the go-ahead run on base and walk the tying run into scoring position."

Pujols is undeniably dangerous, but he's not a machine; he had every chance of dribbling one to shortstop instead of launching it halfway to New Mexico. With a top-notch closer on the mound, Garner trusted his pitcher, and this time he hung the wrong slider to the wrong guy. It's baseball, it happens.

My thoughts on last night

Sorry, Fred...I know if I were an Astros fan right now, I'd be confident, but still shell-shocked.

Sycamore, you need to practice turning over police cars and setting city busses on fire, just in case.

plthijinx · 10-19-2005, 03:09 PM

oh yeah, that's right....the yanks riot, the southerners just throw a huge party and get drunk!

Nah...we don't do anything like that here. We just bitch and complain about it a bit, then move on. Very rarely do St. Louis sports fans get really riled up. In fact, about the only thing that we're still pissed off about is the 1985 World Series (the blown call by umpire Don Denkinger in game 6).

plthijinx · 10-20-2005, 08:01 AM

this town was electric last night! down here everyone gets in such a cheery mood when we win something huge that the crime rate here drops.

Goooooooo 'stroooooooooos!

elSicomoro · 10-20-2005, 11:05 PM

The Cardinals are becoming more and more like LaRussa's Oakland A's...can't finish the deal. I don't think that's necessarily a reflection on LaRussa, but it does make one wonder...

The better team clearly won, and I congratulate the Astros on winning the NL pennant. Having said that, I've been a fan of the Sox for years, and would love to see them end their curse...GO SOX!!!

Griff · 10-21-2005, 05:46 AM

I wonder if Steinbrenner has reflected on who the two game one pitchers are for the best teams in baseball.
