Those of here in St. Louis wanted to believe it could be like 2011 when our Cardinals refused to die, right up the last out and the last strike. But with the Cardinals' poor situational hitting and what seemed like a record-breaking amount of runners stranded, I never seriously thought they'd...

Exactly. The San Francisco Giants won two out of three years, but finished out of the playoffs this year. My St. Louis Cardinals have had a great run with two World Series wins and playoff appearances in almost every year over the last decade, but they how have two World Series losses to Boston...

Can't complain too much, since the Cardinals had a great season (it tied Boston's for the best record in baseball), we were in your position two years ago as World Series champions, and it was still a better showing for the Cardinals against the Sox than it was in 2004 when we were swept and the...

Absolutely. It's over the top. And it did detract from the game because I wanted to puke every time I saw those guys. I think Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski would roll over in their graves if they saw these disgusting fucks in Boston uniforms.

Hey, good for you guys. But some of those beards are really disgusting.

He is such a fucking self-absorbed twat. So is Joe Buck. Both have Cardinals connections, and of course they have to show objectivity, but they completely ignore their history with St. Louis to the point where they discuss arcane shit like this so people think they're objective. It's nothing...

No shit. I'm not a sore loser, but those chinpubes are fucking gross! :L I've got to give credit to the Yankees...the one team that still insists on a proper shave. Yes, they can have facial hair, but it has to be groomed. Not such a bad policy in my opinion.

Good question. I was going to ask if the Cardinals would return to the World Series next year and if Michael Wacha would win 20 games during the regular season... :whistle: But seriously, congratulations to the Boston Red Sox on a great World Series.

Wow...I've been busy and haven't had the chance to check in here much lately. So it's nice to see positive comments from Dodgers, Cubs, and even Red Sox fans. The trolling on Facebook has been pretty intense and ridiculous, not that I'd ever expect any meaningful dialogue on Facebook outside...

Oh, Hammerdown, you just can't let that Cardinals hatred go, not even for a minute? :laugh3: At least no one on the Cardinals has a ridiculous pubebeard besides Jason Motte, and he's not even playing. You should be happy, as my Redbirds are packing for an (un)happy flight to Boston. Yes...

Haha! I guess that explains it. So what's the stuff they use to glue massive amounts of pubic hair to their faces? Sorry, but after this game, that's all I've got. Kind of like the Cardinals offense, I suppose. :doh:

The rule seems straightforward to me. It's like the principle of how a tie goes to the runner. To put Rule 7.06 as simply as possible, the rights of the base runner supersede those of the fielder.

I'm much more concerned about what Clay Buchholz was using last night. Seriously, what the fuck was in his hair? And why did he keep running his fingers through it as he pitched? It couldn't be sweat; it was 40 degrees here in St. Louis last night. Someone should have sent in a hazmat team...

Wow! I've been up since 6 a.m., yet I don't think I can go to bed just yet! That game was everything I expected and more- so much grit and intensity from both teams! Kelly had the Cardinals fanbase just as jittery as he was in the early going, but he acquitted himself quite well in the later...

Thanks for starting the thread and keeping the conversation going! I didn't have time to post here with a party tonight and a stupid wedding to attend tomorrow- but none of that could take me away from my Cardinals! What a Game 1- it was the exactly the type of gritty, intense game that I...

Cardinals fan here...Game 1 was everything I expected and more. Glad to get the win but I know it's going to be a tough, intense, and fun series to watch all the way!

Thanks! We'll see the Bucs next year...and I wouldn't be surprised if we have to settle this in the postseason again! I'm always confident in my Cardinals, but if I were a Pirates fan, I'd be equally optimistic about the future. That is one hell of a lineup! And this was one hell of a...

I'd like to vote for the Cardinals and more beer, please. In St. Louis, the two truly go hand in hand.

Second that. I know people seem to think we Cardinals fans are a cocky bunch, but I was more nervous about this game than I was for any other game since Games 6 and 7 in the 2011 World Series. As you said earlier- these teams were back and forth all through the season- and they were pretty...

Shit! I thought the Cardinals forum was quiet! This is ridiculous! St. Louis Blues fans- I know you're out there. And even though I might catch flack from St. Louisans that love baseball uber alles, I think Blues fans might be the most connected, passionate, knowledgeable sports fans in the...

Yeah, it's kind of pathetic that Sam Bradford is new to the role of being a team leader now that he's in his fourth season with the Rams. Yes, I know, the team has a revolving door through which many coaches and coordinators have passed. And it isn't like Bradford ever had a lot of weapons to...

Holy crap! So close and yet so far. It's gotta be tough to be an Atlanta fan. The Falcons did the same thing last year- great season with lots of promise only to fall short. Professional hockey came to town twice and couldn't be bothered to stick around. Also, Atlanta stole an NBA team from...

Haha...same here! Wacha has put together over 15 innings of no-hit baseball in two outings- amazing stuff for a guy that started the season in Memphis. I was afraid Holliday was going to quietly disappear in the postseason after a hot September, but that shot over the left center field wall...

^ You're absolutely right. The haters will say Cardinals fans are spoiled and feel entitled...but not the ones I know...and not me. I realize the last 20 years or so have been really special. So I savor these October postseason moments, because even on a team that is defined by many periods...

Packerzrule- I also thank you for the kind words about the St. Louis Cardinals. I am a lifelong fan, and even I am in absolute awe of my home team. LTR has it right: The Cardinals have fundamentally sound systems in place- talent evaluation, player development, farm teams- they're all...
