Tim McCarver Memorial Post-Season Thread, Part Two

[Reggie Thee Dog]

How ironic is it that Jeff Weaver is the winning pitcher in the clinching game of the World Series?!?!?!

The guy was like 2-10 for the Angels and struggled through the regular season...wow, show's you how easily things can change when the stakes get higher.

Congrats to the St. Louis Cardinals...83 wins the lowest regular season amount for a World Series winner, but you can't take it away from them.

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.

Big bats will get you a lot of regular-season wins.

A strong, deep stable of pitchers, an ability to scratch out runs and good defense will get you postseason wins.

I have to admit that I'm a little shocked a NL team won the World Series this year.

Oh well, at least the Sock won't have to hear "2006 World Champs" everytime they visit Detroit. :

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Oh, well. Congrats Cards.

 

[U2democrat]

I had a dream last night that everywhere I went people were wearing Cardinals gear and celebrating.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Jeff Weaver won't go down as a good pitcher in MLB history, but last night he pretty much pitched the game of his life. Hats off to him and the 2006 World Champs!

8 IP, 1 ER, 9 K for Jeff Weaver in a WS clinching game is unbelievable

Dave Duncan is a miracle worker. People keep saying our pitching has been lucky, or the hitters are in a funk, but the pitching has been amazing for 3 series. You might be able to luck your way through one round, but to go basically a month with great pitching means they are probably pretty good.

im still in shock.

this is so huge for the city, the Cardinals are St Louis

just amazing stuff

Maybe that could happen here one day...

Man that would rock.

[U2democrat]

Thanks!


I'm on such a high

 

[TheBrush]

congrats cards.

Yea, they have a great playoff run, I too am saddened.


HOT STOVE THREAD COMING SOON????

 

[DaveC]

Maybe that could happen here one day...

Man that would rock.

Maybe they could actually win a playoff berth one day... (two straight years )

Man that would rock.

 

[popacrobat]

i still am in shock

 

[zumanity42]

the best team won.

I can't wait until Monday so I can wear my Cards stuff and all those people who talked smack to me (and there were a lot) can just suck it

See my avatar.


I kid. Congrats to Cardinal fans. Some day...some day I'll get to savor this moment with my Cubbies. Until then...




I hate the Cardinals.

 

[U2democrat]

The feeling is mutual Phil, for I hate the Cubs

 

[Got Philk?]

I would have it no other way.

You know who I can't stand, David Eckstein. Maybe it's because he reminds me of a mosquito when I look at him.

Urghhh....sour grapes sour grapes. cough cough congrats cough cough...ahem

 

[U2democrat]

You know who I love, David Eckstein. Maybe it's because he's an awesome player who's excited to play.

 

[Got Philk?]

You know I'd love him if he were a cub.

 

[U2democrat]

Of course! I would hate him if he were a cub

You'll have your chance...someday...don't give up hope.

 

[Got Philk?]

NEVER! How dare you even THINK a Cub fan would give up hope.

 

[popacrobat]

i for one hope the cubs keep losing but thats just me

and WHY does espn.com's poll not include the cardinals? who wins the 2007 world series? wouldn't you think that as defending champs they'd have earned the right to be on said poll?

 

[Numb1075]

several days after winning it all, the latest poll of most dangerous cities emerges. The winner for the most dangerous city for 2005 is St Louis.



#2 is Detroit.
#3 was Flint; also in Michigan.

 

[U2democrat]

My hometown was #5 on that list last year...now we've dropped all the way to 15


But you're right St. Louis is a very dangerous city.
