Well I don't think they are overall but they are a well managed team that wins when it counts.

Is Weaver this good? I don't think so.

this was one of the most boring world series....no drama, no excitement. one team was great, but just played really poorly and the other team was just not fun to watch.

I give it a C-

Your right the series wasnt all that entertaining. However if anyone missed the Mets and Cards go at it you missed one hell of a series. Now that was a classic series. Had great plays solid defense, timely hitting, and great pitching.

And did the best team win? Yes they did.....reason being they were the best at that time. Besides they beat 2 teams everyone said they couldnt beat. However I feel the Tigers beat themselves, not saying the Cards couldnt beat them, but if the Tigers wouldve cut their errors in half the series wouldve been more entertaining.

Maybe, but I can't get over the feeling that the week logn rest really affected them

Posted by: Malley

I think it did.I mean it had to. However the best team at that time was the Cards.They were not only better prepared, but they obviously wanted it more. Not to mention you shouldve saw the city of St.Louis for the next few nights, unbelievable!

Don't worry, I'm not gonna rain on your parade.

Posted by: Malley

You can make any point you want I have no problem with that. But most points anyone can make will pretty much fall to the facts that the St.Louis Cards are the World Champs and they beat imo the 2 best teams in baseball, in the Tigers and the Mets. I still have a hard time believing how the Tigers handled the Yankees like that. Their lineup just looked like they lacked alot. After facing the Mets (Killer lineup!) it seemed like a cake walk from there.

Lets reflect..........

Whos the world champs? Yeah thats right shout it into the rafters!

Not a Rams fan....however do like the 9'ers and they were nothing short of horrible.

This isnt about football, this is about my World Series champion Cardinals!!!!

Posted by: NordicNacho

Funny thing since Im from LA its cool to watch the CARDs almost like watching a Angels game.

Posted by: Malley

How far is Anaheim from LA?

Posted by: NordicNacho

30 minutes with no trafic which is about the same for me to Dodger Stadium

Posted by: IainDaniel

Enjoy it for now Double D cause there is no way they will repeat.

Posted by: Malley

Haha, I assume you are a Jays fan? Well atleast the Cards have alot better shot than the Jays do, hahaha. Sure they have made some moves, but they wont even win their division.

Never know, they finished second to the Yanks last year. There bats are up there with the best in the league, and if there pitching can come around, they will certainly challenge. But more then likely they won't win you are right. Can't help it the American league is a lot more deep of division the then NL.

Posted by: Malley

Yeah, but its normally whos hot at the time the playoffs roll around, case and point last year!

Posted by: IainDaniel

Yeah cause the american league teams beat up on each other. While there really is no competition in the NL

So by the time the AL is there they are beat, where as the NL team is fully rested.

Posted by: Malley

That only works in Canada.....you guys are so brutal to one another.

Well looks like:

Mulder
Kip Wells (Which I think will be an excellent suprise!!!!)
Reyes (God I hope we get someone other than him!)

Weaver was a bitch....we showed him the best 1/2 year a person could get and he left like a punk. Oh well he just had a good post, hes no where near that good!

Marquis the biggest trader of all (Oh well, good riddins). Its like fuckin Damon....how do you play for the Cards and go to the Cubs, like playin for the Sox and goin to the Yanks. They both need shot!

Then you got money hungry Suppan!!! Went to the fuckin Brewers!!! Wow what a shumuck!!!!!

Belliard the 2nd baseman from the Indians took off as well, which isnt a big loss.

Resigned Edmonds (if he stays healthy another all star year). Still got the best player in baseball in Puljos! Rolen will be a god again! We have the best defensive catcher in baseball. Well tie between him and Pudge.

So ya I would say we are still in good hands. Not to mention we have one of the best GM's in baseball. Hes been known to get it done whenever it needs to!

I agree at first, but hey the Cubs are the Cubs. They dont have one super slugger. Yeah Lee is ok, but he had a year! Alot of people have a year. They dont have a guy who can carry them, like a Puljos, a Big Poppy, a Vladdy, they got a Aramis Rameriez. But hes kinda like Arod in a way. I seen him with a few big hits last year, but nothing to the likes of those I mentioned.

Posted by: Malley

Cubs pitching.....Who in the hell are these guys???? Yeha Prior, but he will only last a few months. And where the hell is Wood?

Would probably be a normal team. But with better results, because NY'ers will not have their Yanks suckin some ass.

Who knows how it will turn out, I do admire his devotion to his team. He invests his profits on his team.

Posted by: min0 lee

It's good for baseball for the Yanks to be good......it gives the fans a team to root against.

Posted by: Malley

No you mean its good for New Yorkers! Everyone around here absolutly hates the Yankees. Of course it does give them a team to hate, but then again we got the Cubbies!

<H3> 1920s: The first NL championship

Quote:

The Cardinals built themselves into a winner during the mid-1920s, led by second baseman / manager Rogers Hornsby, the closest player the National League had, statistically speaking, to Babe Ruth. In 1926, the Cardinals won their first pennant in 39 years, and then shocked the baseball world by knocking off the powerful New York Yankees in seven games in the World Series. The storied Game 7 reached its climax in the seventh inning when the previous day's winning pitcher, the aging Grover Cleveland Alexander, was summoned in relief to face slugger Tony Lazzeri with the bases loaded (some fans feared that Alexander might have been a little "loaded" himself after celebrating the previous day's win). After giving up a long foul ball, "Ol' Pete" then struck out Lazzeri swinging on 3 low fastballs.
A closely-guarded secret at the time was that both men in that confrontation happened to suffer from epilepsy. The Yankees failed to mount any further rallies and that World Series was a winner for the Cardinals. Years later, a movie was made about Alexander's life titled The Winning Team (1952), starring Ronald Reagan.
The Cardinals fell just short in 1927, then won the pennant again in 1928, edging out the resurging Chicago Cubs and the perennially contending New York Giants. The Cardinals did not fare so well in the World Series, as the Yankees continued their dominance from 1927 and shot down the Cardinals in four straight.

Regardless, the stage was set for the new order of the National League. Innovative Cardinals General Manager Branch Rickey was establishing a minor league farm system that would produce great players and keep the Cardinals in contention for the next two decades.

Between 1926 and 1946, the Cardinals, Cubs and Giants would become fierce rivals, that trio winning 17 of the NL pennants to be had during those 21 seasons.

Cards second right behind those Yankees.

That's right!
That's all due to good ownership.

Posted by: Malley

This is correct!

Posted by: min0 lee

Quote:

Over the years, Cardinal fans have gained the reputation as being the best and most knowledgeable in the game, according to Peter Gammons and other experts, and St. Louis has been deemed "Baseball City, USA". Players have been known to tell other players that they have not played baseball until they have played baseball in St. Louis. The atmosphere is so addictive that several players have accepted a "home team discount" (lower salary) to remain on the Cardinals (which play in a relatively small market compared to other franchises), most notably Scott Rolen, Mark McGwire, Jim Edmonds, and Albert Pujols.

Not this year.

Posted by: Malley

Easily best fans in America. And whenever Peter Gamons says they are the best then they are the best!
