Congratulations St. Louis Cardinals!

Must be a Cub fan...so sensitive!

:lol2:

Not usually, but I am tonight for some reason. Just for the record, I don't agree with the article. I grew up in an area where Cubs and Cardinal fans are split about 50/50, so I have lots of friends that root for the Cardinals. When I was a kid I used to fall asleep listening to Jack Buck and Harry Caray doing the Cardinal games on the radio, unless the Cubs were playing at night on the road. The Cardinal's organization is one of the finest in pro sports and has been since long before I was born. Wish I could say the same about the Cubs.

I do wish some year that the cubs and cards would play each other in the playoffs. Maybe even the wildcard game, now that would be one wild game! :nod: :hide:

The Cubs are losers.

That is their job. To lose. but the Astros are always lurking and working on a plan to de-throne them from the King of Losing position.

The plate umpires are calling strikes old style - arm pits to the knees plate wide and with the pitchers the Cards and Dodgers are putting on the mound, these are going to be some close low scoring games. Great plays and gaffes are magnified when the pitching is this great. The Cards just seemed to lack focus tonight and made far more than their share of mistakes while LA played a clean game.

This could get interesting but we know there will be at least one more game in St. Louis.

Lacked focus was right. I was irrate watching this game. I did rather enjoy last night's win though. :clap:

Go CARDS!!!

He's like a lot of those west coast players....lot of show.

Should be a great World Series! Not really a Bosox fan but they sure seem to be peaking at the right time. Their lil Japanese closer is pretty tough too.

 

[HDRider]

Go Cards.

Vs.

Go CARDS!!! Can't wait for this to start. We owe Boston one anyway!

This morning they were talking about Dizzy Dean. Never saw him play but it reminded me of when he announced the baseball games on TV. The 3 things I will never forget was his names for different types of hits, a dying quail and a blue darter, but most of all one comment he made when a guy hit a grandslam, "Well that got the pitcher out of trouble". Seems like sports doesn;t really have the characters like they used to have

Dun - seems they got some characters but all the wrong kinds today. Eucker and Shannon have some of that old charm in their own way and there's a few good old coaches left but not many especially with Leland quitting. Most of the players are putting on some kind of a public persona aimed to maximize their contract potential.

Oh well....

In the movie Major League (I think) Bob Euchre made me think of Dizzy

Got reasonably lucky, only $200. They were going for $638 on stubhub. Still a bunch of money but I couldn't pass it up.

Will you be able to get a refund if there is a sweep?

 

[HDRider]

Hey, let's not talk that way. They were a little off last night, but they should more than recover...
