Napoli is your MVP. I think Rangers in 6 also.

Last night was a clusterfuck of biblical proportions. I suspect that he's covering for someone, and the crowd noise is an excuse.

The hit and run with Craig on, and Pujols up. Both times with no outs. Granted, he's GIDP 30+ times this season. But Wilson couldn't find the strike zone, and Feliz didn't get Albert anything to hit within a foot of the plate.

Really bad at bats by the Cardinals.

And it's LaRussa. Lasorda is the one Irwin Fletcher hates.

hahaha...I knew Lasorda looks wrong as I typed it but I didn't slow long enough to change it. That is like me infamously calling Jack Nicholaus, Jack Nicholson...or how ever you spell it...

What did you think about Carpenter's little tirade? It was surprising to me. I can see getting excited and emotional, but it looked like he was calling out Napoli.

And yeah...I think LaRussa was covering for someone too. Maybe even himself. He didn't want to put up with the 500 million questions or second guesses by the fans.

Also, what have you heard about the supposed hit and run that Pujols didn't swing at. Did anyone actually confirm that was a hit and run called by Pujols? It looked like LaRussa questioned dude in the dugout...

That's the World Series that made me hate the Braves. I was in boot camp, and I get a letter from a buddy of mine who wrote "GO BRAVES!" on the back of the envelope. DI on duty that night was from Minnesota (and I believe the night the Braves moved ahead 3-2). Holy shit, I did pushups for about 2 hours, all the while cussing Smoltz and Glavine.

That series......Lonnie Smith making little league mistakes on the base paths and then Bobby Cox bringing in Liebrandt to pitch to Puckett. Puckett only had a .800 career average against him and almost half his hits were home runs. Of course I didn't care as I wasn't a fan of either team, but it was painful to watch the better team totally fuck it up.

It was like Cox and the Braves were dominant in the Reg season but at some point in the playoffs, you knew they were going to blow it.

I hadn't heard anything about Carp, just saw some message board stuff, but didn't read anything. Avoding espn.com or the other sports sites to keep my blood pressure down. Didn't see it on the Post Dispatch web site, either.

The hit and run in the 6th, against Wilson, where Pujols didn't swing baffles me. It looked like Pujols put it on, but the pitch was so high, he couldn't swing. I can't figure out why put it on there. At that point, Wilson was struggling to find the strike zone. And it looked like TLR wasn't sure what happened.

But after getting burned by it in the 6th, why the hell would you put it on in the 9th, down two runs? You need base runners. If Pujols takes it yard, it's tied. But then the hit and run doesn't matter. Again, Feliz wasn't looking sharp. He hit Craig, and Pujols swung at a pitch really out of the zone, to start the double play. And then he promptly walks Holliday (if only Berkman had seen the ball come out).

For the life of me, I can't figure out why put it on in the 9th.

I think I'd be more pissed if we hadn't won it in 06. Yeah, it'll suck to lose. But all I want out of the Cards is a shot every year. And I think they are one of those teams that, while they won't make the playoffs every year, they'll give you a reason to at least watch into August/September.

I didn't read anything about Carp...but after getting Napoli out...I think maybe in the 6th...you could clearly read his lips..."FUCK YEAH. YOU PIECE OF SHIT. FUCK YOU"...

It is when Napoli flied out to deep right center with man on 1st and third. I was shocked that he said it...

AUJarhead · « **Reply #45 on:** October 25, 2011, 02:58:32 PM »

Meh, he does that to everyone.

It's part of the reason he and Nijel Morgan got into it. He struck out Morgan, said something, Morgan threw his dip at him. I just chalk it up to Carp being Carp.

Oh big time. You know how ~~Cubs fans like Zambrano, but everyone else thinks he's a cock~~.. ok nevermind.

Yeah, he's a dick. If he played for anyone else, I'd want him to get goat aids.

Damn. The birds just sent teh world series to game seven. Don't sweat it Jarhead, the birds will win with ease tomorrow.

That may have been the best baseball game I've ever seen. Certainly the best World Series game I can remember since maybe game 7 in 2001 (Arizona over NYY).

I'm not sure if my heart can take another game like tonights, I think I aged about 10 years. Fuck, between Auburn Football, and Cardinal Baseball, I'm going to have a heart attack before I'm 40.

I agree 110%. I don't give a shit about either team, but I found myself watching anxiously and cheering for the Cardinals. I will be watching game 7 tonight.

I don't how you could be happy watching a traitor like Pujlos playing for your team.....you know he is chomping at the bit to be in Chicago!

And we get to see the newest O start for the Cards tonight, too. I hope he wins a Cy Young for y'all.

I wish Baltimore was smart enough to go after some pitching.

Although it wouldn't surprise me to see them show some interest in CJ Wilson.......but they will probably pass b/c we have this guy in the minors that is going to be the shit.....tired of that already. Buy some MLB pitching already.
