Red Sox versus Cardinals World Series Thread

[RedSoxWorrld]

Hanley. Kemp was mostly a non factor for awhile but obviously when Kemp is playing at his best then everyone else in the league is lucky when he isn't playing.

Most teams are always down a major player when they get far in the playoffs. Thats just baseball. Red Sox seem to have some magic to them and Im not used to seeing that on the other side. This should be a competitive series

two evenly matched teams, I think

Sox have had trouble with power arms, so thats another thing in Cards favor

i wouldnt mind a repeat of 2004

you?

did you really expect realistic plot points in a movie about zombies?

that movie was pure entertainment

Maybe its just be. Plausibility is a big part of survival movies to me because if I can't relate to the characters or story then I dont really care what happens and then the whole movie falls apart for me. I did like the first 2 seasons of Walking Dead. I stopped watching a bit ago but I could see myself watching some more of it if I get time.

I'm trying to find an analogous World Series matchup.

Maybe we'll get a 1991 World Series out of this (except with an NL win)

Yes, but I didn't want to call the Red Sox the Yankees and Id hate to get swept by the Red Sox again. Yankees/Braves was kinda baseballs Cowboys/Bills

Thank you for summing up my reason for my lack of interest in the genre as a whole. I guess I just have zero interest in any sort of fantasy anything ( aside from the obvious ), maybe because I put all of my time in hoping for a better reality for me.

Lester is the type of pitcher that the Cards struggle with so I think the Red Sox need to win Game 1. I do think this will go 6 or 7.

Making the post by the D-Back fan a few pages ago about this being a boring series all the more laughable. Oh well, at least I found a use for the ignore function again........

if it is boring, he isnt a baseball fans

he's a dbacks fan

there's a difference

 

[Clayton]

We knew we were getting a marquee matchup once we saw the final four teams. This should be good

Just going by the W.S history of this pairing, you should be right. The Cards won in 1946 & 1967, with the Sox winning in 2004. Making the Sox due again.......

 

[Clayton]

How many players are still left on both teams that were in the 04 series? Molina and Ortiz?

I will just sit back and wait for the outrage, if the winner dares to celebrate on the opposing teams field.......

It depends on how you are with technicalities. I say that, as Carpenter is sitll technically a Cardinals player, and, Matheney was a player on the 2004 team.
