Tim McCarver Memorial Post-Season Thread, Part Two

[DaveC]

I fell asleep in the top of the seventh

I don't want baseball to be over...this was the first year I really paid a whole lot of attention to it other than to watch highlights when I was bored. This year I actually watched games I cared nothing about, checked standings every day, I even had every Phils game written on my calendar. I hate it when I get into a new sport and the season ends.

I'll also be sad when it's over...I'm always sad when baseball is over

 

[DaveC]

The worst thing is that often I don't get into it the following season as much as I did. I got really into soccer a couple years ago (after Euro 2004) and followed it heavily that season. Then, last year I barely paid attention at all, the only time I paid attention was when Tottenham (my favourite Premiership team) was gunning for a Champions League spot (Arsenal sucks ).

I just hope I don't barely pay attention to baseball next year.

i might disagree...

the tigers weren't considered the best team coming in by any stretch... but they got hot at the right time. will they be able to just pick it back up again after a week off? maybe... but the week off could cool them down, bring 'em back to the pack a bit.

one fucking clutch hit in a dozen different opportunities and i could be preparing myself for a parade this weekend...

Looks like I got off at the right time.

Wtf has happened to the Tigers????

 

[DaveC]

Looks like I got off at the right time.

I just nearly spit my coffee halfway across the computer lab.

Ozzie Smith's kid was in the top 12 or so of American Idol a season or two ago.

Dave!

i refuse to get my hopes up until the the final out

the cardinals have blown enough 3-1 leads to know its not over yet

 

[Hewson]

Its not over, but Roseanne Barr is warming up her singing voice.

 

[phanan]

How great would it be if the smallest person out there, Eckstein, wins the MVP for the series...

 

[DaveC]

Dave!

It was really too easy.

 

[popacrobat]

is it bad that im confident in jeff weaver to win the clinching game of the world series?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

yes... yes it is

 

[U2democrat]

Correct.

But I'm still excited

 

[popacrobat]

my hopes are completely up because 1- i predicted the cardinals to win the world series, granted over the A's but i was right with pads in 4 and mets in 7. and it's a 3-1 lead over a depleted and dejected tigers team...if they played proper defense they win last night and they know it. they shot themselves in the foot. verlander's era is awful in the playoffs, and carpenter/suppan will both get to pitch again if necessary against the likes of kenny rogers minus pinetar plus national spotlight and then who knows who else.

if they blow this i will cry, but i really don't think even these cardinals who have had a pair of 8 game losing streaks and a 7 game losing streak this year can blow it now.

 

[Numb1075]

weaver's pitched great this post season. I'd be comfortable if i was a Cards fan.

<----wow, never thought I'd say that.

 

[Chizip]

Weaver has been good, but I feel like he could melt down at any time. I just hope he has one last good start left in him.

 

[U2democrat]

Here we go!

 

[Canadiens1131]

Oh god I'm on the way to being pissed, this is the game the Cards could win it, correct?

 

[speedracer]

Pulling Sean Casey for a pinch runner when you need two runs to tie and he's been the only guy hitting all series...not smart.

 

[speedracer]

Congratulations St. Louis.

 

[MrBrau1]

yawn.

 

[phanan]

This is the best part.

 

[U2democrat]

I LOVE THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[U2democrat]

David Eckstein MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I've already run around the dorm screaming and cheering drawing a lot of attention to myself

 

[U2democrat]

My dad is ordering championship t-shirts

 

[popacrobat]

yawn.

CHAMPIONS



i think i was the only one here to predict that



JEFF WEAVER. i love thee.

 

[U2democrat]

Pardon me while StlElevation, chizip and I go celebrate...

 

[joerags]

83 wins


That's all you need to win a World Series title.


Eighty-freaking-three wins.

Does the regular season mean anything anymore in sports?



Congrats Cards



To Jeff Weaver, who broke all Yankee hearts (especially mine) for giving up that homer to Alex Gonzalez that cost us Game 4 in 2003, I curse thee.
