I will admit, I had given up. It seems like the Cards have really not had timely htting this series. I mean, they had 1st and 3rd tonight with no outs and almost didn't score. Last night all they needed was a flyball in the 9th, and they could barely make contact. But wow, is this ever a momentum shifter. Go Cards!

10/18/2005 12:02:26 AM

pujols was 0-4

i knew he had something in the tank

i really expected him to bloop it into the crawford box
just as a sort of balance

but fucking hell, if that had been an open air stadium, the ball would have rolled like another 200 feet

10/18/2005 12:04:09 AM

I had given up. Good lord that was unreal. Lost in all of that was Eckstein's two strike hit. WOW just WOW. Forget Renteria.

10/18/2005 12:12:19 AM

yeah really

X GON GIVE IT TO YA

10/18/2005 12:16:49 AM

pujols is such a good and intimidating hero. i think i lost like 4 years of my life tonight. stros still have 2 more games. lets see if pujols sees one to hit from here on out. good luck.

also, i'll give that hr to al as better than gibsons if the cards pull it out.

i bet Albert's daughter still doesn't know what happened

10/18/2005 2:12:18 AM

you are FUCKING KIDDING ME

this, folks, is why you NEVER leave a sporting event early

I turned it off when Reggie struck out with runners at the corners, then turned back on a few minutes later. Then, when we were down to our final three outs, I struggled with whether or not I could watch. Lidge struck out Rodriguez, and I turned it off. But I couldn't deal with it so I turned back on just in time to see Mabry strike out, at which point I turned it off for good. And then I wake up to this shit.

And now I have to live the rest of my life knowing I missed Pujols' fucking home run.

10/18/2005 12:09:42 PM

You missed the #1 moment the Cardinals have had in my lifetime. That beat the Grand Slam Renteria hit in the 9th to beat the Cubs when they were down like 7 runs.

10/18/2005 12:29:22 PM

^^I feel for you man, but on the bright side, you still have time to see it. I don't think the ball has come down yet.

you know what i did
i turned that shit to the SAP
and listened in Spanish
because i'm sure in english they were hyping

OMG TEXAS TEAM IN THE WORLD SERIES
NEVER IN THE COMBINES 80 YEARS OF THE RANGERS AND ASTROS
GEORGE BUSH IS IN ATTENDANCE
OMG THIS IS THE GREATEST THING EVER

but over on the SAP
it was all

[words Woodfoot doesn't understand]

of course, after the homer i went back to the english version
and it was all

I'M ON MY WAYYY
HOME SWEET HOME

"In his first season, Albert hit better than .500 with 11 home runs. Fort Osage coach David Fry couldn’t believe his good fortune. The teenager was the hardest worker—and swinger—on the team. He remembers one mammoth shot Albert launched at Liberty High School that landed on top of a 25-foot high air conditioning unit some 450 feet from home plate"

That sounds like Brasky . . .

10/18/2005 1:41:52 PM

I can't stop thinking about that game. I'm a huge Pats fan, and I thought that Adam Vinatieri's game winning kick against the Rams would be my most memorable sports moment ever, but now I don't know. That was so huge, so clutch. I really hope we can win two games at Busch and go win the big one this year.

10/18/2005 1:43:32 PM

Pujols....He has a toenail on the end of his penis.


COME ON FELLAS LETS GET ONE MORE.

10/19/2005 6:11:23 PM

Its about game time, at least make it game 7. I have confidence in the team now. Ill bet Albert gets walked every time he comes up tonite, so Reggie and Larry especially need to get off of their asses.

10/19/2005 8:25:31 PM

haha Sanders, Walker, and Edmonds havent done shit since the SD series.

10/19/2005 8:27:40 PM

They better tonite, I think they will decide the game. Mulder is usually money. In fact Im fairly sure he has the lowest postseason ERA of any current starter.

10/19/2005 8:29:11 PM

GO 'NALS

10/19/2005 8:30:03 PM

HOW BOUT SOME HOPE

10/19/2005 9:23:20 PM

like soap on a rope

10/19/2005 9:26:42 PM

if there were lyrics to 'taps' i would post them here

10/19/2005 9:28:25 PM

hey did anyone catch what happened at the end of game 5? ive been watchin this game and they havent really said what happened or shown any highlights.

10/19/2005 9:34:40 PM

Jesus Christ somebody at least hit the ball. This is getting ugly real quick.

10/19/2005 9:34:57 PM

Mulder
Zito
Hudson

who's the #1, #2, #3 in your mind?
Me:
Hudson
Mulder
Zito

10/19/2005 9:43:34 PM

FUCKING BULLSHIT I HATE UMPIRES

10/19/2005 9:54:43 PM

THAT WAS THE WORST CALL THIS POSTSEASON! And there have been some bad ones. That probably cost STL a run.

10/19/2005 10:04:46 PM

^, ^^
what happn'd? was watching SP

10/19/2005 10:14:53 PM

are the playoffs over yet

damn

10/19/2005 10:17:55 PM

fucking umpire called Nunez out at second when the throw was bad and the shortstop made the tag, but totally missed. FUCK


And how many times are we just gonna stare at strike 3 right down the fucking middle ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????



fuck fu fuck fuck fuck

Ive lost all hope tonite sadly and it looks like Busch has too.

10/19/2005 10:44:03 PM

This ones about in the bag.

10/19/2005 10:52:35 PM

Let me know how this one ends, I give up.

10/19/2005 11:07:42 PM

Goodbye Busch Stadium...R.I.P.

10/19/2005 11:12:07 PM

...FUCK

10/19/2005 11:31:29 PM

2006 baby GO CARDS w00t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10/19/2005 11:32:28 PM

BUSCH. YOU'RE NEXT.

10/19/2005 11:32:42 PM

10/19/2005 11:34:27 PM

how many other teams can say they won 100 games in consecutive seasons?


we're probably the best team in baseball....argue that with me (without simply saying "you can't be the best, you got beat the past two postseasons)

10/19/2005 11:38:56 PM

as a braves fan, i can tell you that whole WE DID REALLY GOOD IN THE REGULAR SEASON BUT BLEW IT IN THE POSTSEASON argument doesn't work very often

10/19/2005 11:39:57 PM

^^^^they aren't imploding busch. They're gonna wrecking ball the whole thing...a little wierd to me if you ask, but i guess it could be kinda messy with the new stadium 10 feet away.

[Edited on October 19, 2005 at 11:41 PM. Reason : ]

10/19/2005 11:40:54 PM

argue against me that we're not the best all-around team in baseball though

10/19/2005 11:41:04 PM

bats went cold, no excuses other than that.

"lets not talk stats they didn't get beat they handed this world series berth over they were just like "hey guys, lets enjoy the winter, edmonds wants to teach us all to snowboard" and larry was all like "YEAH GUYS, I'M GONNA HIT LIKE .091 FOR THE PLAYOFFS, SO WE CAN ALL GO SNOWBOARDING" and pujols in game 5 was all like "uhm, guys i fucking hate snow" but then everyone was like "albert, you can hang out in the ski lodge" and we was like "O RLY?""

from another thread

10/19/2005 11:43:06 PM

oh i agree 100% that they were the best in 05

last year its a toss up between them and boston

and i think the playoffs are gimmicky anyways

its a completely different game than the regular season

the format works perfectly for a team like houston with a weak offense and three killer starters

10/19/2005 11:43:38 PM

fucking tv deal

GO BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS IN LIKE 1940

10/19/2005 11:44:48 PM

how many years in a row now has the wild card team won the Championship?


Playoffs are all about who is hot....and the Cards were NOT hot. Sucks that this could happen 2 years in a row, but its kinda expected since we didnt have to win a game for the last month of the season.

10/19/2005 11:45:40 PM

remember guys
we can't let this thread die in the winter

any cardinal news comes here first

10/19/2005 11:55:12 PM
