We heard you the first time. Thanks.

Congrats. Cards played the best baseball when it mattered most.

On one hand, it's frustrating b/c I know the Mets would've beaten the Tigers but can't take anything away from the Cards. They deserved it..

Thank God the NL won!

im a tigers fan, and we did give them a lot, but the truth is they are a damn good baseball team still and do deserve it

1) This is truly the Dynasty of Curse Busters
A. The Red Sox saying goodbye to the Curse of the Bambino
B. The White Sox ending their 88-year drought against Houston
C. The Curse of Hernandez going bye-bye in St. Louie

2) Not only the worst team to win it all, but probabaly the least deserving one too

I think the Hernandez trade might have worked out well in the long run. I think he took his drug problem to New York and contributed to the Strawberry downfall.

Umm, last I checked they won the 11 games they needed to. How are they any less deserving than anyone else? Just because the team the mighty AL put out there played like dogshit doesn't make it any less deserved..

Eh, fuck it. It's almost 9 and the bar is calling.. Congrats Cards and their fans.

Please. You people are just pissed that your teams lost.

All I see is a few isolated faggots saying how this is the worst team to ever win a World Series. Mind you they are just a bunch of jealous whiners, but it's still a little annoying.

Yeah good thing the Cards didn't have anyone hurt this year
1)Mulder-#2 starter pitches hardly at all
2)Edmonds-hurt half the year
3)Pujols missed 20 games
4)Eckstein battled injuries
5)Isringhausen-closer out the last month and for the playoffs

Plus give me a break...they have won the NL Central 4 out the last 5 years.

P.S. the last 2 years they had the best record in baseball.

To you I say fuck off.

I dont know why people think that, they had a lot of injuries during the year which is why their record during the season wasnt that good but during the post-season they dominated everyone except the mets who were also a good team

"ST. LOUIS—Calling Friday night's victory on baseball's grandest stage "a terrible mistake," members of the St. Louis Cardinals issued a formal apology for making the playoffs, winning the World Series, and depriving baseball fans everywhere of a season featuring the kind of heartwarming, storybook ending to which they have grown accustomed in recent years. "I'm still struggling to understand how this could have happened," said a sober Tony La Russa during a press conference following Game 5. "It seemed all but certain coming into this series that we were going to be a part of something truly special, that we would easily put the finishing touches on a magical season that inspired millions of fans around the country, but instead we somehow ended up winning." "It's disappointing, to say the least," La Russa added. "We were rooting for the Detroit Tigers just like everyone else." According to Cardinals players, they "tried absolutely everything" in their pursuit to earn the Tigers their first world championship since 1984, including eliminating the far more dangerous New York Mets in the NLCS, entering the series completely unrested after a grueling seven-game series, starting a rookie pitcher with five career wins in Game 1 in Detroit, and postponing Game 4 due to rain in the hopes that an off day would swing the momentum back in the Tigers' favor. "I don't know what we could've done differently," second-baseman Ronnie Belliard said. "We gave the Tigers every opportunity to win ballgames, but when their pitchers keep making errors on simple ground balls, what are we supposed to do, pretend we forgot the rules and start running to third base?" Desperate for a Tigers win in Game 2, the Cardinals chose to overlook the fact that starter Kenny Rogers was pitching with the aid of a foreign substance on his left hand. "Of course we all knew it was pine tar, but it seemed like they were finally finding their rhythm… We certainly didn't want to shake their confidence, so we decided to just let it go," La Russa said. "Frankly, if the umpires didn't bring it up, we probably would've let him pitch with it the whole game." After the final out of the World Series was recorded, the stunned Cardinals retreated to their dugout and watched with disappointed, glazed-over expressions as the Detroit Tigers—the feel-good team of the season whom everyone expected to win it all—packed up their equipment in the dugout across the diamond. According to Albert Pujols, some teammates took the World Series victory harder than others. "For a lot of young guys like [Anthony] Reyes and [Yadier] Molina, this was their first chance to see an exciting, inspirational, and truly deserving team win a championship," Pujols said. "Even though the outcome of this series has definitely left a bad taste in my mouth, I can handle it, because I was there in 2004 when we were able to see Red Sox beat us in the World Series. Man, what an incredible feeling that was… Just watching those guys celebrate, I really felt like I was seeing history unfold before my eyes. It was definitely my greatest baseball moment." "I hope we have the chance to see something like that again next year," Pujols added. Reporters and sportswriters around the nation were critical of many of La Russa's successful managerial decisions, second-guessing such effective moves as leaving staff ace Chris Carpenter in for more than five innings in Game 3, and failing to bench third-baseman Scott Rolen, who batted a team-high .421 in the series. La Russa, however, said that things would be different next year. "I think I speak for my players, the front office, the coaching staff, and every fan in St. Louis when I say that all season long, we had just one goal: bringing a championship to the great city of Detroit," La Russa said. "And even though we failed this time around, we will be committed to achieving similar goals next season." In the somber clubhouse following the victory, Cardinals centerfielder Jim Edmonds admitted that "the wrong team won," but said that the outcome of the 2006 World Series is "just something we're unfortunately going to have to live with." "Nobody thought we could do this, nobody thought we could stop this powerhouse team that beat the odds to go from worst to first and rolled through the playoffs looking like they were invincible," Edmonds said. "And we thought we had taken every possible step to prove them right." "We shocked the world," Edmonds added. "We're sorry.""

I was so upset after that game...it took me until now to talk about it. I am truly sorry.
