Lying to the ump to pretend you fouled off a pitch you couldn’t have hit with a canoe paddle — Two cents
Nearly hitless 3-4-5 of your lineup — $34 million
Tickets for game five — Worthless
For everything else there’s MasterCard.
Official card of the St. Louis Cardinals, who by the way, won as many games in the 2004 World Series as the Cubs did.
What’s my postseason record now?
We scored 3 runs in our last 3 WS games. We suck Macias-style.
It’s perfect,thanks for asking!
Here’s to:
1985 – lost to Royals,and to a tarp
1987 – lost to Twins,lost Jack Clark
1996 – Braves came back down 3-1
2000 – Rick Ankiel,now that was fun
2001 – Steve Kline blew the final game
2002 – Steve Kline blew the final game
2004 – 105-57,and once again they came up lame.
1-9-8-2
Glad I was traded
Still pouting
Great job, fellas. You guys still know what my ring size is, right?
Classic MasterCard parody, Andy.
I also told someone last night that the 2004 Cubs and 2004 Cardinals had one thing in common: neither of them ever had a LEAD in the World Series.
Off the top of my head, I’d have to say it’s one of the most embarrassing World Series performances in history. To be swept, never lead in ONE INNING the series, and for the vaunted Albie, Pumpkinhead, and Lassie look like the Three Stooges is unbelievable.
We’re all 0-0 again. Perhaps seeing the Red Sox win and the thought of their own underachievement in 2004 can motivate the Cubs and their management for 2005.
I think one of the best imagines in this World Series was Lassie just swinging from heels with that HUGE upper cut and just kept whiffing at it. To quote the lime green hatchback dude…"it’s a thing of beauty"
Don’t feel too bad Nomar, the Red Sox voted you a playoff share.
Any possibility that Wakefield’s knuckleball (for the short time he was in there) threw the Cardinals’ timing off?
Also, seeing The Genius choke up in his post-game press conference last night was priceless. A reporter asked him to reflect on the season and he couldn’t answer for bout 20-25 seconds. I guess even a douchebag cries now and then.
Do you realize that if Edgar would have got on in the ninth, I would have been the last hope for St. Louis. I think the Farns was signed by Boston for game 4 too. Damn you Edgar!!!!!!
No, Dave. It was the lousy hotel in Quincy.
That’s the second time I’ve ended a World Series.
Just got done reading some of the stuff on the http://www.stltoday site. One of the columnists really rips in to "baseball’s best fans" for their rude treatment of Keith Tkachuk. Apparently, the Blues’ player (who grew up and went to college in the Boston area) has been blasted the past few days for showing up in a Schilling jersey for Game 3. It’s pretty good reading.
Hi. My name’s Kevin Fox, and I was front and center this summer when my daughter went missing in Wilmington (Sloth loves Wilmington, right?). I led the search efforts, was all grief stricken when they found her, had a golf outing to raise money for our family…
Well, now comes word that I confessed the crime to the cops! Yes, I not only tied her up with duct tape and threw her in the creek (still alive and conscious), but I raped her before that.
But at least I’m not one of those dumbass Cubs fans!
I know we’re having fun at Cardinal fans’ expense, but this is too good to pass up.
We can’t wait to rip into the Cards when they show their faces at Wrigley during the 2005 season.
Some taunts for ’05:
To Edmonds: "ONE FOR FIFTEEN. Clap, clap, clapclapclap. ONE FOR FIFTEEN. Clap, clap, clapclapclap etc." (You could do the same for Rolen (OH FOR FIFTEEN…), but it’s hard to rip on Rolen; I actually felt a little bad for him)
"Hey Morris. Congratulations on being so professional WHILE GETTING SWEPT"
"Hey Suppan. How did you manage to find the park today? You can’t even find home plate from third base!"
"Hey Larussa. How can a genius like you manage to lose EIGHT STRAIGHT WORLD SERIES GAMES?"
Some of those are lame, I know, but it’s early. Come next April, I’ll have some gems, I promise.
Anybody else think The Genius won’t come back for 2005?
Wow, we’re all really pathetic.
We know that’s you, Matt Morris. What sre you doing trollign Desipio?
I’m looking for a contract.
Hey Matt we could use another jackass at our farm.
You’re right 24. We’re just not as classy as Cardinals’ fans. I remember how they, as a group, refused to make any pathetic Bartman jokes last year.
Wow, they really are Baseball’s Best Fans! I also admired the way about a third of them scalped their tickets to Red Sox fans for last night’s game.
Jason Marquis looks like me and acts lke me as well. Especially on the bases.
Well Andy how are we suppose to make our monthly trailer payment? And fix our tooth?
St. Louis fans love me for my unbiased broadcasting!
How could the Red Sox celebrate RIGHT in front of our dugout? When we were in Boston, we would’ve had to celebrate in Maine!
"Buck told viewers that Marquis had fallen behind in the count to 13 of the 16 batters he had faced."
We consider that being unbiased.
Our hotel in St. Louis must have sucked, too.
Yeah, you Cardinal fans sure are classy. I’m a hockey player, and even I’ve got more teeth than most of you. By the way, anybody know of any job openings?
Frankly, I’d say that the Cardinal’s main problem was the visibility.
Who the hell is Joe Buck?
Hey Steve, that’s why I squint whenever I’m at Busch. Oh wait, nevermind, I do that everywhere.
OK, which topic do you want to talk about?
– The Media was against us.
– There shouldn’t even be a Wild Card.
– Boston shouldn’t be allowed to have such a high payroll.
– Red Sox fans are obnoxious.
– Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, and bad hotel rooms.
– The Sox didn’t show us any respect.
– The All-Star game shouldn’t determine home field advantage.
– The umpires were against us.
– Our own hockey players were against us.
– Jimmy O’Fallon was against us.
Can someone kick this chair out from under me? I just can’t go on anymore. My favorite team Lost last night.
I should have won the MVP award, but hey, whatever.
Oh, and to Dusty Baker, who benched me for Lenny Harris…
I just outhit Albert Pujols, Jim Edmonds, and Scott Rolen COMBINED in the World Series. So go to hell.
Boy, those Cardinal fans sure are clever…
You know those markerboards college students like to put up on their doors? Here is what one Cardinal fan put on their board today:
"Payroll:
2. Boston Red Sox $125.2 million
6. Chicago Cubs $91.1 million
11. St. Louis Cardinals $75.6 million
Winning Percentage:
1. STL .648
3. BOS .605
11. CHC .549
Go Cardinals! 2004 National League Champions!"
—–
First, how obsessed is this? The Cardinals didn’t play the Cubs down the stretch, in the NLDS, in the NLCS, or the World Series…
Second, I didn’t know MLB handed out a nice glittering trophy for having the best overall winning percentage.
Finally, I would like to remind this Cardinal fan that both the Cardinals joined the 29 other teams that didn’t win a World Series game this year. Which wouldn’t mean anything except for the fact the Cardinals got four chances to win one and never did.
Not just content being Jesus, I also became Moses, leading my people to the Promised Land.
What are the odds we hold the ring ceremony first time the visitor’s shirts say "New York"?
Wow, Albie is looking his age in that pic. Next thing you know, he’ll pull out his "I voted for Carter" registration slip. Nice WS effort, Evil Satanic Fowl!
Now, a gratuitous set of pics of Fredbird, Dr. Moran, Daryl Kile’s oversized nostrils, Edgar Renteria’s enlarged anus, and the bird flippin’ toddler please.
Oh, I gotta admit, I really enjoyed seeing the Deadbirds lay such a total egg on the national stage. I find the whole Boston thing to be an insufferable bore, but nothing beats watching the trailer queens on the Mississippi suffer.
John Kerry’s Speech Notes:
Wednesday, October 27, 2004
Note to self—Say with lots of feeling
I’ve been rooting for this day since I was a kid. … This _________(fill in winning team name) team came back against all odds and showed America what heart is. In 2004, the ______ (repeat winning team name) are America’s team."
That Orlando Ramirez really deserved the MVP.
Yeah, well if we’d had another $50 Million in payroll, we’d have probably won a game.
Yea this was a great series for Cub fans. The Sox stuff and ESPECIALLY the insufferable fatass Curt Schilling was a bit much, but I’m happy for Bellhorn, Varitek, Mueller, Roberts, Wakefield, Ellis Burks, Damon, and some of the other guys. None of my most hated players are on Boston, although Millar and Schilling and Lowe are douchebags. But the Cardinals did the impossible in this 4 game set. They made it so that they had NO bragging rights this offseason. It’s staggering. They won 105 games and the Cubs collapsed horribly, but the Cards somehow played badly enough in this series to even things up. I mean they were out there doing everything the Cubs did, but on a grander scale. Their pitchers couldn’t pitch, their hitters couldn’t hit, they couldn’t run the bases right, Tavarez was giving up game winning homers and throwing at people’s heads in his anger, LaRussa and Rolen and Mabry were blaming the umps for their own awful performances, and that Molina kid behind the plate was so fed up with his team sucking that he tried to start a fight with Ramirez.
Just CLASSIC stuff.
So next year is here. The Cubs are now all alone as THE baseball team of interest, as it should be. The Red Sox fans are gonna have a bad hangover when they wake up and have nothing to root for. Cause most of them love losing in excruciating fashion and don’t much love the team and players. Whereas with the Cubs, Cub fans LOVE the players. Except Todd Hundley.
I’m also glad that the Cubs don’t have some asinine Babe Ruth story to keep rehashing when they finally DO make it all the way. The goat thing is too stupid even for the media (except FOX) to play up much, so they’ll just report things straight.
That’s one of the main reasons Boston’s deal was never as good as the Cubs deal. It’s just marketing and east coast bias. Creeps like Shaugnessy and Gammons do not an interesting story make.
I’m getting ready to chat on ESPN.com.
Back in the day, B.C., we’d have urinated on that Cardinal fan’s door in the middle of the night. I’m not sayin’, I’m just sayin’…
I am waiting for the "wild-card" analysis. As an old timer who goes back to when there were only two leagues with eight teams in each (and no designated hitter) I scratched my white-stubbled chin when I learned that we were going to see three divisions with an unequal number of teams in each league, and something called a "wild-card" to make an equal number of team in the playoffs. (I would have prefered a round-robin playoff for the pennant.) Now I have to adjust to not only seeing the wild-card teams in the World Series, I have come to expect that they are going to win it. Where have you gone, Andy Pafko?
There’s plenty of fun to be had at the Cardinal’s expense–their 100+ win team got swept on the largest of stages, but this constant carping about them on a Cubs board is a little too much. Yeah, put a nice, big smile on your face and relish a cruel "Heh, heh!" at the Redbird’s expense, but this one-up-manship to point out the littlest gaffe, error, or lack of execution is pretty, well, Cardinal-like.
Hey, at least I was on the last Cardinals squad to beat the Red Sox. In ’67.
Andy Dolan (Durand, IL)
When will the Cubs get rid of those ugly alternate blue unis?
TODD WALKER
I don’t think they are ugly. They could probably go to some darker colors and make it look a little less baby bluish.
on the other hand, considering the ‘jock speak’ answers that Todd was providing, it probably was the toughest question he would answer
Relax and enjoy me, #48. There’s plenty of time before spring training.
Good question Andy, I also saw where Todd wouldn’t cough the name of Sammy’s boombox basher.
#48, perhaps obsession should be explained. Last year, when the Cubs were in the playoffs, none of us were worried about who the Cardinals would sign, what they thought of us or anything else to do with them. This year, the St. Louis media and fans have spent the entire playoffs preoccupied with the Cubs, despite not facing them in a game since August.
Todd, Todd, Todd:
Even I know the uniform is ugly!
CT, no doubt, the Cardinals are obsessed with the Cubs, so are the Cardinal writers and Cardinal trailer park residents (i.e., everthing south of Springfield and north of Louisiana). However, two wrongs don’t make a right (despite what Homer Simpson says), and jumping up and obsessing over the glorious Cardinal demise is a little "Me too!" for my tastes. "Kettle? Hello, I am Pot; we’re both black."
Excuuuuuuuuuuse me for being worthy of a day of discussion and delight.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t the one who sent in the question about the blue uniforms, though I thank whoever did. You have to be an ESPN Insider to ask questions and I try and keep the amount of money flowing in to ESPN to a minimum. You know, being a Desipio Insider is free…
By the way, my question was going to be:
Since you talk to him frequently, does God really hate the Cubs?
Man, I am going to get SO LAID!
All we had to do to win the World Series was get rid of Walker and Nomar.
Are you paying attention, Mr. Hendry?
I am not a ESPN insider and I got to ask him what car he drives: A H2, Mercedes, and Jeep Wrangler.
Nothing wrong in celebrating this (Boston accent)wicked cool!(/Boston accent) Cardinal flop. That’s not the point I was making. Instead, I am loathe to see Cub fans lying in the gutter next to ripped up Game 5 tickets, wallowing in the Redbird filth and slinging the same obsessive, over-analytical mud many posters on Desipio accuse the Cardinal fans of. You can obsess about your favorite team, but obsessing over the enemy is so–I don’t know, Missouri-ey?
You don’t have to be an ESPN insider to ask questions or "chat". They have chats going on there almost around-the-clock. They do move the chat transcripts to the Insider archives once the chat is finished.
Here is my call of the last out of the World Series.
"Foulke has it, underhanded toss – the Boston Red Sox are the world champions as they celebrate … a mob scene right in front of the Cardinals’ dugout – right in front of the Cardinals’ dugout. … They are celebrating to no end. Some scene here at Busch Stadium."
Next time they should celebrate in the bullpen.
I apparently asked Todd Walker a question about when the Bears are going to stop dicking around with Krenzel and start Hutchinson.
Walker replied the Bear’s playbook is 8" thick.
Is that it?
It’s Missour-ugh.
And, I know who you are.
And, I’m keeping an eye on you.
Screw you, Ashcroft! You’re gone next year anyway… AND I’m TAKING YOUR PLACE!
Sorrym Rudy. John’s appointing me. That’s the deal I made with him to get me and Hubby Hummer’s support.
Pack our bags along with Chip, Wendall, and the 2 trainers. Cubs declined our highly inflated options.
Sure, Hill, but Johnny-boy won’t get 270 electoral votes.
George says I’m his AG.
First of all, #20, (CT), I called that one three seconds after the Amber Alert went out on poor Riley. There are so many wilmington jokes I could toss out there, about guys doing their daughters, but considering the circumstances, that would be uncouth. The Sox hat pic is PRICELESS!!
This world series was almost perfect. A perfect world series would be the Cubs sweeping the Yankees, or the Sux. But we’ll take it.
Andy rocks, always has, always will.
Someone want to call the Cubs on my behalf?
Hey Andy, did you know that since you told the Red Sawx to "cowboy up, you pansies," they haven’t lost?
Can you work the same magic for the 2005 Cubbies?
Ned, that’s been my strategy, you pussy, but no one listens to me! They’re all deaf and pussies with no balls to win or listen to me. The Red Sox have no balls! They only beat the Red Sox 4 times! The Cubs won 7 games from the Cards this year and they are bigger pussies than the Red Sox.
Nice little convo going on at Redbirdnation. Seems that 28 other teams want to be where the Dead Birds are right now. You can see the witty reparte here: http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redbirdnation/109897734202499100/
Rudy, the way your guy is going, you are right. John’s gonna get around 290+. To much Al Caca for Bush.
Thanks for the shout out Sloth, but I can’t take credit for other people’s work. I didn’t post #20, but wish I had. And if Kevin Fox is guilty, that fucker can rot in hell. Strange how the Tomzack was able to get a confession out of the guy just 6 days before an election and 6 days after his father was indicted.
CT and Sloth, #20 was me. On Sloth’s blog a week ago, he compared Wilmington people to Ligue-types but worse. At least Bill Ligue and Kevin Fox can watch Sox baseball in jail together.
As for Jeff Tomczak, that was the ace in the hole he knew he had for months. Just like State’s Atty Daley indicting the Dowalibys a day before he announced he was running for mayor, or the DuPage Co. guy indicting Rolando Cruz in the Nicarico case.
Let’s see if it’s enough to elect him. I know nothing about Will Co. politics, so I’ll let Sloth and CT tell us.
As for Fox, the fact he was collecting $$ from well-wishers and then buying a new car, jetting to Vegas and buying a new diamond for his wife is sick.
Hillary you don’t want me to win remember? That would screw up your plans for ’08.
TJ,
That’s about all I know about Will County politics. I grew up there, but now I reside in that bastion of conservatism, DuPage County. I can tell you that the early version of the ballots that were printed up here "accidentally" left off the name of the women who’s running against Henry Hyde.
I think Fox is guilty. And if he’s convicted, he should be raped by a wolverine.
Steve Stone just quit … turn on Sports Central on WGN.
The Genius is getting fired, and I’m gonna go manage my favorite players in St Louis!
I think he wants to be a GM … maybe with the new DC team?
Oh, and according to David Kaplan, this is HUGE because he "didn’t seen it coming" even though he’s "one of Stoney’s closest friends".
Muuuuhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Steve Stone is so ugh! The Internet Letter of Truth to the Fans was MY idea.
Dear Cubs fans:
Since I put on a Cubs uniform in 2004, I’ve seen lots of Cubs history. There has been heartache and joy, agony and ecstasy, not to mention 21 lineups and 10 shortstops.
Through all of this, I have always felt a strong connection to the greatest, most loyal fans in baseball, Mets fans.
The phrase I used that angered certain people was "I can still play." Well folks, I was wrong about that and want to set the record straight. I regret I won’t be hitting .164 for the 3rd greatest fans in baseball…the fans of the Chicago Cubs.
It’s been a great ride. I will never forget you. Most importantly, I thank you all for every minute of misery, you, the fans have given me.
Best regards,
Rey Ordonez
Goddamn, the Chicago Cubs organization is so sketchy! Rey has been gone for MONTHS — and they wait til now to release his letter to us????
Get your Joe Carter-to-English translators out again. Wheeeee!
Or you can just do what you had to do the whole time Chip was in Chicago, and press me.
I’m worth a shot. I mean if you guys hired Carter, you can definitely hire me.
I’d be perfect for the job. I’ve never criticized anyone for anything. Ever. Plus, I’d be free of that asshole Dan McNeil.
And I’m easy on the ears.
I could be your player-broadcaster! Just mic me up and give me 500 ABs!
No way, Todd, that would get all technical and complicated.
Jose and I would be happy to do a broadcast right from the dugout, though. And when we get bored of the game, we can do interviews with the Plastic Deer.
Also, it should go without saying that the 7th inning stretch will now include me and my accordion.
Not so fast, Gabor.
Ahem.
Dear Cubs fans:
Since Gabor dressed me in a Farnsworth jersey in like August or September 2004, I’ve seen lots of Cubs history…
[insert heart-warming crap]
As has always been my personal policy, and also because I’m an inanimate object (and can’t talk or do interviews, dumbass Gabor) it is not my intention to divulge the content of private conversations I’ve had with others. Likewise, I do not want to be forced into sharing my side of the story.
I came to Chicago on the high road with my credibility and integrity. About two months later, I choose to leave the same way.
[blah blah blah]
It’s been a great ride. I will never forget you. Most importantly, I thank you all for every minute of happiness, you, the fans have given me.
Best regards,
The Deer (do I have a name?)
Face it, Gabor, I’m better looking that you, Girardi and the plastic deer combined.
Talk to the hand, Walker, cuz the impeccible face don’t understand.
Now, officially, the worst squad in franchise history. Wait till the good free agents won’t sign with us. We set the franchise back two decades.
Yeah, I’ll turn down the money and opportunity to play at Wrigley because Steve Stone, who I’m sure I’ve never hear of or care about, quit. You moran.
Honestly compells me to agree whole-heartedly with Intrepid Reader #99. The ratings for Cubs games next year are going to be soooooo low!
The whole point of being good-looking is not to talk to the hand, Jose.
Not because of Steve Stone leaving, you dumbass, but for the same REASONS Steve Stone is leaving. The Cubs were an embarrassment last season and the whole world saw it. When you’re such assholes that Cub fans quit rooting for you, you know you’ve accomplished something.
Using "moran" makes you a sheep. Use big-boy insults.
Carlos told me that he wants to play at Wrigley, #103!
Busch wasn’t mentioned. So sorry.
I wish they could track my usage next year with the TV ratings.
Prediction: 62% of Cubs fans will use me as they listen to "Sweet Caroline" on repeat. But not if Dolan/Ling get the job.
"The Cubs were an embarrassment last season and the whole world saw it."
I don’t think the whole world watched Cubs games, particularly since they aren’t aired all around the world, even though Chip Caray did the play-by-play, so you know the ratings would have been through the roof.
A lot more people saw the Yankees and Cardinals tank, since they did it on national TV. Does that mean free agents will avoid them like the plague? Not so much.
I’m not sure how the entire 2004 Cubs team were "assholes", but who cares? Chicago’s got money and great starting pitching, which is going to look pretty attractive to many free agents. And if I can play with a jack-off like Jeff Pornstache, I can play nice with the Cubs.
What the idiot who has written the last few posts is in.
Look, even Cub fans hated this team. If you want to deny it, fine. Go back and read some of the Desipio articles from September. This team was fucking hated. They hated each other, the fans hated them, the rest of the league hated them. You don’t have to defend everything Cub all the time, you stupid ass. It makes you look pathetic. Would you defend Todd Hundley if he hadnt been traded? Probably. Because he’d be a Cub. Well, that’s retarded. Sammy Sosa, Moises Alou, Dusty Baker, Kent Mercker, Kyle Farnsworth, LaTroy Hawkins, and Todd Walker are assholes, and formed the single most annoying Cubs ballclub anyone can remember. If you want to deny that, fine. But you’re wrong.
Come back, 99/103/108! There’s a huge Steve Stone loving/Cub-bashing orgy back on our site, and we miss you.
Is the management setting Dusty up for a fall?
First, they make the Nomar trade and the team doesn’t improve.
Then, they get rid of our horrid third base and hitting coaches.
Now, Stone leaves. Many fans will think Dusty responsible even if he isn’t. Stone was here so long many fans like him, even though his commentary has fallen off in this second stint.
So, all of the "factors" other than Dusty that could be used as an excuse for the team failing are now gone. Baker’s managerial skill is going to have to shine through in 2005. I personally think all these postseason moves will be aimed towards making a situation to allow management (Hendry, McPhail, etc.) to test Baker’s ability to manage the game correctly. If the 2005 team fails, then I think Baker is gone. If the team succeeds, then it shows 2004 was more bad luck and an abberation than a trend.
To elaborate a tad more, here is what I think the Cubs will do for the 2005 season:
Cubs re-sign Nomar and sign Beltran, then trade Sosa to Texas for their closer Cordero (but pay about 3/5 of his salary, and don’t get any prospects in return, for the next two seasons in order to get him). Patterson is then moved to left while a platoon of Dubois and Hollandsworth plays in right.
Projected 2005 Cubs’ lineup:
Walker, 2b
Garciaparra, ss
Beltran, cf
Ramirez, 3b
Lee, 1b
Hollandsworth/Dubois, rf
Barrett, c
Patterson, lf *
Rotation:
Wood
Prior
Zambrano
Maddux
Mitre/Rusch
Bullpen:
Cordero
Hawkins
Dempster
Farnsworth **
Remlinger
Rusch/Mitre/Wellemeyer/Another left-hander (?)
Notes:
*= Patterson should bat 8th in that lineup based on his inconsistency, past performance, and the fact he could see more strikes batting in front of the pitcher.
**= Yes, we’ll have to endure another season of Farnsworth. Ugh.
Well, YOU hated this team, obviously. But it’s a bit ridiculous for you to speak for all Cubs fans, period. I didn’t particularly love the 2004 team, but I didn’t hate them, either. You can waste your vitriol on a bunch of baseball players, but I don’t care enough about them as individuals to do that. The only one that did a genuine asshole thing, seems to me, was Mercker, and he’s gone.
If you go back and read the comments from September, like you suggested, you’ll want to shot yourself in the head because it got so repetitive and whiny, what with every other post from Baker Basher ranting about pussies. And it got boring because of long-winded bitch fights like this, so, I give up. You’re definitely right. No free agent will sign with the Cubs now, ever again, and it’s all Kyle Farnsworth’s fault. What an ASSHOLE!
I would see MORE strikes?
Why is everyone set on me next year. Is my career even going to continue? Maybe look at a guy like Burnitz. The only way I should come back if I sign for less than 750 K.
Hard to believe, but three of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnists take shots at the Cubs on http://www.stltoday.com just one day after the Cardinals turned in the most embarrassing World Series in history. And they wonder why Cub fans rooted against them.
When did anyone Cardinal-related wonder why Cub fans rooted against them?
Here’s what Charlie Pierce had to say in Slate (link above): "It ended placidly, normally, with a couple of easy wins over a St. Louis Cardinals team that has to go down as one of the cheesiest league champions in baseball history. They couldn’t hit. Their pitching sprung leaks at the worst possible moments, and Tony La Russa, their manager, now has a record in World Series play that rivals that rung up by possums on a highway."
If you’d check some past Doses, you’d see people writing in about Cub fans being whiners, etc. about the Cardinals. Believe me, they’re obsessed about it.
I’m going to take the high road and not talk about the cocksuckers that ran me off.
Look on the bright side, now that I’m gone too, Andy can get another weeks worth of material out of fake interviews for my job.
Why was I an asshole in 2004?
Chip Caray is going to be on The Score shortly.
Sheesh, B.C., talk about paranoid delusions. "Is the management setting Dusty up for a fall?"
"I personally think all these postseason moves will be aimed towards making a situation to allow management to test Baker’s ability to manage the game correctly."
If I understand your thesis correctly, you "personally think" MacPhail will attempt to improve the team’s chances of winning during the offseason (that’s a bold prediction), but the secret aim is to put Dusty to the test.
Their offseason moves will be aimed toward winning baseball games. Period. Their aim is very transparent, there’s no conspiracy. You’re overthinking it.
Calm down, bitches.
"They won 105 games and the Cubs collapsed horribly, but the Cards somehow played badly enough in this series to even things up."
Hilarious, hilarious, hilarious. Keep telling yourself that finishing in 3rd is equal to the NL Championship that you’ve been DYING for forever. My face hurts hurts so bad from smiling over that one.
CardFan, and you know it was just the hotdogs those damn Boston caterers served the Cardinals, too, that fucked up their rhythm.

When knowledge is the slave of social considerations, it defines a special class; when it serves its own ends only, it no longer does so. There is of course a profound logic in this paradox: genuine knowledge is egalitarian in that it allows no privileged source, testers, messengers of Truth. It tolerates no privileged and circumscribed data. The autonomy of knowledge is a leveller. by online poker
