So your logic is that mystique is going to make the difference? Please do better, say something about Ankiel and Pujols, or Duncan or something.

 

Mystique has a lot to do with it. Some things just go your way. Are you telling me that the Cards were better than the Mets or the Tigers in 06? Heck No!! How many errors did the pitchers for the Tigers make that led to wins for the Cards? Its just weird.....I'm telling you!!

 

The Cardinals lose their mystique from '83-'05?

There is absolutely no logical reason why the Cards will win the division or the wildcard and there is absolutely no logical reason why the Cubs should not win the World Series......but since when does logic dictate what happens on the field? How is that friggin Jeff Weaver helps the Cards win a Series? How is that the ever fragile Anthony Reyes wins a World Series opener? How is it that never a closer Wainright becomes super closer in 2006..............to help win the Series? How is it that John Stuper has a great postseason for the Cards in 82 to help them win the series? How is it that a 500 pitcher goes to St Loo from Boston and becomes dominant for the Cards to help them.......almost win the 85 series (Tudor)? How is it that Tom Lawless and Jose Oquendo(Thats right.....who?) star for the Cards in the 87 postseason to take the Cards to another World Series? Oh Yeah.....2004....well you get the picture. Most of the time its not about the stars of the team that put a team over the top. Who is that player or couple of players that are going to pop up out of nowhere for the Cubs? Will they pick up a rugged old veteran down the stretch to help put them over the top (Cesar Cedeno comes to mind in 85)? Who will be the unexpected player that will rise to the top and become a legend in Chi-town? I have to be honest....it would be kind of cool to see it happen to Chicago. Let me go on record and say that the St Louis has the best fans in baseball thing is crap. I would put Cubs fans ahead of St Louis fans. Yankess fans, Boston fans.......all ahead of St Loo. It would be nice for baseball and for the Cubs fans for the Cubs to win......I just dont think it will happen.

 

Do you really want to go down the road of havent won since 82 before 06? 82 is what........74 YEARS later!!?? Dont even start with that.

 

Blah Blah Blah. Please learn to write in paragraphs and complete sentences. It might make me want to read what your post. By the way simple math tells me that '82 is actually 24 years EARLIER than '06 not 74 years later.

Being better on paper doesn't translate to some power beyond a team of 25 major leaguers being able to play better than another team of 25 major leaguers.

There's no need for that type of condescension.

 

Also, he's comparing to the Cubs. 82 - 08 = 74

74 years is the difference between 82 and 08. My point was even though it was so long ago before 06 that we won a series......it was still 74 years later than the Cubs last win.

 

Not a Cubs curse.....not at all. Just something weird happens sometimes in the postseason. What about the ball that Steve Bartman(is that the right name) interfered with? That was a good Cubs team also.

I think you are trying to bait us with inane arguments that no person over the age of 12 would truly believe but.

 

MYSTIQUE?!?! What the heck is that? Some cosmic force that makes the Cardinals good??

Just watch.........if the Cubs win......there will be unusual things that happen in their favor(bad hops, Sheets gets hurt, wind blown balls, Pujols has a hand cut off). If they dont, there will be things that happen not in their favor (Z hits an umpire, Harden gets hurt, Isringhausen learns how to pitch again(that would be a mystery), Yost chokes.....again. Who knows.

What unusual thing went the Red Sox way last year?

 

They got to play the Rockies?

[joe morgan] They had experience on their side. The Red Sox had been there a few years earlier. The Rockies were in the World Series for the first time in their history. [/joe morgan]

Babe Ruth was up in Baseball Heaven and said "they've been cursed enough"

 

I still dont think that not letting some mad man bring his goat into the ball park warranted more of a curse than throwing a world series, but I guess thats the baseball gods decision and not mine.

My wife had a little white Mystique !! But the mechanics down at the Mercury dealer kept calling it "mistake" instead. What's up with that ??
