Yeah get that shit out.

Go into the Cubs thread. Wherever the fuck it is.

P.S. I have $100 says Cards finish higher in the standings for like the 5th year in a row.

I wouldnt take that bet



but seriously...wtf happened these past two days?

4/8/2006 5:21:07 PM

ran into some good pitching and the second best lineup in the NL

4/8/2006 7:37:56 PM

You guys are harsh, I'm not here to troll........geez. Matter of fact the only reason I posted anything yesterday is because someone asked for the score. Seriously.

Anywho......don't expect me to post today I'll be at a bar watching some Rookie get pounded by the mighty Cards.

But......before I go.



Good luck.

i'll tell you what happened


our pen is rusty

i never thought I'd say it, but I wish we still had Fat Ray King

4/10/2006 4:40:27 PM

those pics are fanfuckingtastic

i was just about to come in here and post that link

tremendous

how long is the drive from nc to stl?

4/10/2006 4:49:02 PM

12 hours if you stay out of Ohio

4/10/2006 4:51:09 PM

the real question is

how long till pujols hits one OUT of the PARK

that shot he hit in houston would have left the building

4/10/2006 4:54:15 PM

it'll happen this season


i really wish the interleague series between the Cards and the Sox was at New Busch

between Thome, Edmonds, Pujols and Paulie SOMEBODY would hit one out

4/10/2006 4:58:59 PM

THIS IS JI-

JIM THOME

4/10/2006 5:04:47 PM

dammit, i can't believe nobody is televising the home opener in the new stadium

4/10/2006 5:06:13 PM

Nice win in the new Busch.

Pujols homers, crowd looked full, and they won.

What else could you ask for? Ohh Brewers no longer undefeated.

4/11/2006 12:30:27 AM

I want a So Taguchi jersey

4/11/2006 3:57:14 AM

i'd enjoy a Rick Ankiel jersey

or a throwback Jose Oquendo

"On Monday, three balls were hit out, including one by Cardinals pitcher Mark Mulder. Albert Pujols' third-inning homer traveled 445 feet and missed by just a few rows landing in the pavilion area beyond the left-field stands"

he almost did it in the first game

awesome

4/13/2006 12:02:37 PM

I have no doubt that it will happen, and soon.

4/13/2006 1:47:56 PM

god mlb.tv is the greatest invention in the history of mankind

4/13/2006 3:19:55 PM

heartbreaker today, but man rolen is hitting EVERYTHING

4/14/2006 3:55:49 AM

This is our year...I tell my friends this every year but this year Cardinals are winning the WS I can feel it

4/14/2006 3:56:34 AM

yeah there's a lot of that sentiment in the last 20 pages

I'm changing my approach this year from obnoxiously braggadocious to cautiously optimistic

4/14/2006 4:00:17 AM

Izzy better stop sucking balls, or we're done for good.


Anyone know who we play next? We could use an easy series or two to get the confidence back up.

4/14/2006 12:56:20 PM

went wednesday night, stadium is nice, nothing special, great view to downtown and the arch, still a lot of work to finish up the top two decks in the outfield!

4/14/2006 12:57:51 PM

^^ 3 games at home with the Reds

then 3 games on the road with the Pirates


i think that's a 6 game confidence booster

4/14/2006 12:59:41 PM

^^Did you ever get to the game in the old Busch? I'm wondering how it stacks up to the new one. I was mad when they built the new one for traditions sake...that was a great place to watch a baseball game, and it would take one hell of a stadium to change my mind.


^good, as long as we dont lose to the pirates....I fucking hate them...didnt we get in a bunch of shit with them last season also? for some reason I remember my roommate talking smack about it.

4/14/2006 1:00:30 PM

yep, went to 2 games in the old busch

they really are designed similarly, bullpens are in the exact same location, really the only difference is the old busch was circular, and closed in, the new busch has a more modern feel, the brickwork is nice, and there are a lot of nice box/club levels, but i was in the bleachers and did not get to see any of that

i think they said unofficially it holds about 5k less than old busch, and there are 2 less boxes, but the boxes are bigger, nicer, etc

they brought over a lot of the old scoreboards, and they still have the scores from around the league from the last day in old busch up, they also have a line where the left field wall was, that you can see in the sidewalk, and there are some cool sculptures of all of the 7 cardinal symbols as they have evolved over the years,

food sucked, that was the only problem with me, they got a contract with hardees, and another large food vendor, nachos were garbage, and hotdog sucked....food in the old busch was just better

my friend told me that the club food was good, but nothinig too special, they are still building and have some work to do, so i will give the food another fair shake later this summer.

that is about all i can think of for now!

4/14/2006 1:06:53 PM

damn....


well as long as they didnt fuck up the beer and peanuts then it will do.


Man, when I was little there was nothing better than getting a soda and nachos or peanuts.


But it cant fucking believe they sold out to hardees. Thats stupid, of all the fast food chains, they picked the worst one.

4/14/2006 1:18:24 PM

Renteria is a Brave now wtf

[Edited on April 14, 2006 at 8:02 PM. Reason : didn't know that]

4/14/2006 8:09:24 PM

4/14/2006 9:25:39 PM

4/14/2006 9:37:45 PM

Haven't seen the new stadium, but I hear a lot of people say they don't like it in comparison to the old Busch. A lot of large box offices for groups, but not many seats. Apparently, the price of tickets and food has also shot up big time.

But at least they moved the Stan Musial statue to the new Busch, so they did get something right. I hear the whole season's been sold out so far.

Did anyone ever manage to hit a ball out of the old Busch? I remember in the 80s, Jack Clark had apparently hit a foul ball that kind of went out of the park, but no one as of about the mid-90s had ever hit a home run out of the park. Had it been broken since then?

4/14/2006 10:48:17 PM

I remember McGwire hitting a few upper deckers but none really got close to going out....that would be one huge blast.

I remember when I was younger going to games and hoping they would hit one out, and someone got close with a foul ball one time, but still ended up 10 rows away from it. I'm pretty sure that was physically impossible though.

can't go below .500 yo

and did the tickets really shoot up high?

3rd highest in the league this year

Quote :

they did a good job of keeping cardinals history, and moving shit like this to the new stadium

Quote :

nope, that shit was huge, would have had to be 650ft to get out of there i would think, heard pujols can take it out over left field in the new busch, but has not happened in a game yet

4/15/2006 11:43:02 AM

figured some pictures were in order...........









opening day

4/15/2006 12:03:41 PM

I'm glad they kept that grassy hill behind center field and the greenish black wall. The skyline is pretty sweet behind the out field

4/15/2006 7:21:17 PM

rip

4/16/2006 12:57:56 AM

Pujols hits 3 jacks in an 8-7 win today, and hit a two run walkoff homer.

I was listening to fox radio and heard that cincy came back in the 8th to take the lead and I thought for sure we were fucked the way things have been going this year.


thx to Pujols....I think he drove in Jason Marquis...whowas pinch hitting if I heard that correctly.

4/16/2006 6:15:56 PM

P U J O L S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4/16/2006 6:22:23 PM

have mercy!

4/16/2006 6:53:05 PM

Damn, Pujols may just be god!

4/16/2006 7:02:44 PM

He is GOD!!!!

Dear Lord.

And there was a thread comparing him to a cheating Barry Bonds.
