Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.
The Cardinals aren't in the World Series yet & October is still a long time away.**** happens as any Cub fan can tell you.
Zambrano did pretty well. However, I still hate him b/c he points to the sky all the time. God has nothing to do with your sleazy, psychotic, **** winning.
I know. I still love October baseball. It's my favorite time of the year. I've been lucky to go to so many playoff games. Love the atmosphere and the temperature! In the meantime, I'm looking forward to college football. I pretty much like most any sport.
Like i said before-in my book LaRussa is a stand up guy with his animal rescue work.So if they do win-i see it as him having more money to donate to the rescue relief.And that makes me happy so i wish your team lots of luck.
Now don't go making fun of the man's religion! That's ennui's job.
Heck, he is probably Catholic too....being from Venezuela and all. Where is ennui?
KG, you seem to know more about TLR and the Cards than I do....crazy. I've never heard about half of this stuff....although maybe the STL media didn't really report on it. It seems as though the media in the STL always portrays the Cards as the best of the best even when they are sucking it up.

What can I say, I love baseball and I'm not satisfied with the drivel ESPN feeds us. My husband is the same way; you know he's a Cards fan (and he doesn't like TLR either). When we were first together in 1998, he took me to the game when McGwire tied Maris' single-season HR record in StL, but I attended a better game on 10/5/03 in Atlanta.. that was far and away the best game I've ever seen (it's not common, but sometimes the Cubs do play in October ).
We're trying to visit every stadium in the major leagues (not easy since they keep tearing them down!) and other sites that pertain to baseball like the Field of Dreams in Iowa. We've been to the Roger Maris Museum in Fargo ND (odd he isn't in the HOF). Earlier this year, we went to the Shoeless Joe Jackson Museum in Greenville, SC, which is owned by an entertaining woman who claimed to once have been (and maybe still is?!) in love with Mike Shannon, and whose family housed him while he played minor league ball.
I don't claim to know everything (far from it!). But I like baseball and I understand stats. TLR knows how to win (and how to have a clubhouse rampant with steroid use), he is a shrewd, effective manager, especially when it comes to stats, but he's also a jerk of a person. Baseball is a game, though, and even though I've never met him personally, I will say if I was picking teams I wouldn't want him on my team.
baseballprospectus.com is good for stats, and I like gatewayredbirds for cards talk. This lady in SC could not understand why I didn't swoon with her when she said Mike Shannon's name.. I was polite though and didn't :lol: maybe he was different when he was younger.
:lol::lol::lol: how have I not seen that website yet?!
I know I've made my opinions on TLR known, so I feel I should say I do like the new Busch stadium, and I heart Albert Pujols -- he's not only a fine player, but also a great guy (I am so jealous he is a Cardinal).
A place to debate everything and anything!
