That speed demon Berkman strikes again.

[gflore34]

Of course a [expletive] lumber jack is going to get the save!

[Sammys Boombox]

You have got to be kidding me.

No replay looked like it missed him, Buck. It pretty clearly hit Beltre on the foot in every replay they've shown so far.

 

And yet of course they're not going to change the call.

What [expletive] [expletive] was that

[Flames24Rulz]

Get replay, you assholes.

Do you guys think this Cardinals World Series title will be more painful or 2006?

 

One positive, David Eckstein isn't around to win MVP this time.

Two positives, we're getting Theo.

The Cardinals are the disease.

 

And Theo is the cure.

[gflore34]

Even though he made an out, I believe Cruz is going to take that [expletive] clown out of the park this series. Hopefully, it's a series winner.

Man. That game's an instant classic.

Ryan Theriot is playing that role this season.

Was wondering the same thing!

 

That "game" is an instant TURD.

Fortunate to pull that win off. Didn't take much advantage of Wilson's wildness.

[KingKongvs.Godzilla]

Is CJ Wilson costing himself money this postseason? Or is he just more exposed as a psuedo-ace than a "real" ace? Does it matter?

[webjim25]

Wilson did a good job he gave up 3 runs and two of those come off a fortunate hit off the bat of a Top 5 player in the league this year. The cards lineup is stacked. They'll get a couple runs across the plate more often than not. The post season hasnt been to favorable to pitching any way. If anything costs Wilson any money, it will be the revelation that starting pitching isnt worth as much as people would like to believe. The teams with the best lineup/bullpens are playing in the WS right now. The teams with the best rotations didnt make it out of the first round. Edited October 20, 2011 by webjim25

The team with the most loaded rotation last year won the WS.

 

Just build a good [expletive] team.

[webjim25]

Build a good team, yes thats always a wise thing to do. I was only commenting on your post about Wilson and money he may be costing himself.

[illiniguy]

Ah Cardinal trolls, don't enjoy your World Series that's coming and let that be enough. Instead pop on to a Cub webiste and run your mouths. Cardinal fans are [expletive] scum of the earth.

[TruffleShuffle]

Can't believe this bunch of drunk-driving dickheads is about to accidentally win their second world series in six years. Fuckin miserable.

I agree that the ball hit his toe, but it wasn't overly obvious IMO. An easy solution to that is to have a little extra shoe polish on your cleats. When they look at the ball the umpires will see a blue mark where the ball hit the shoe and they will call it foul.

[sneakypower]

Of course Cruz swings thru a hanging slider, should this Cardinal team win the WS is it, with the 1986 team, amongst the worst to win a WS?

 

Their '06 team was pretty bad. Can't leave the '05 White Sox out of that discussion either.

what is this lunacy, they won 99 games that year
