[Exile on Waveland]

Seriously? Ugh.

Allen Craig, their Jason DuBois, has won them two World Series games. St. Louis baseball is like WWE wrestling.

It pisses me off that the Cardinals make winning the World Series so damn easy and when the Cubs make it we can hardly score a run much less win a game.

 

This Cardinals team is completely unremarkable and somehow they are 6 outs from putting a strangle hold on the series. They sign a 35 year old has been that sat on the Yankees bench last offseason and who most people think is washed up and suddenly he looks 26 again. Pujols is a fa after the season and is in a position to be a huge distraction for the team but instead it has no effect. He also has a seemingly bad wrist injury that tends to keep a player out for awhile and zaps their power for awhile when they return. He comes back much earlier than estimates suggest and hits for more power the second half of the season. Their closer [expletive] the bed the first week of the season and they plug someone in with little effect to the team. Their second ace doesn't throw a pitch all season etc.

 

These little things that youd think would derail a Cubs season instead only seems to make them stronger. This isn't a pixie dust rant just a frustration post.

A major reason the Cardinals win so much is Tony La Russa. They would have the best manager of the last 15 years decide to come to their city and never leave. And, they would have the best hitter over the last decade decide to play for half his value FOR AN ENTIRE DECADE.

Also the worst part is the Cajun Connection could both have WS rings by next week.

Someone explain to me how a bullpen can be awful all year, then become lights out in the playoffs?

Of course Texas stops hitting

[Flames24Rulz]

This is such a [expletive] joke. They're about to have two lucky championships in six years.

[kujay]

Wait until they lose Pujols and don't skip a bet.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Why did I ever believe this Texas team had even a remotely outside shot at winning this thing ???? They were born the WASHINGTON SENATORS for God's sake !!!!!

 

 

Cuck the Fardinals !!!

[Soul]

Occupy Cardinaldom. Luck should be equally available to all.

[rocket]

let's see how hilariously this rally fails

[rocket]

[Soul]

Wow that throw was amazing but still late

[Fred Hornkohl]

Thought poor Yadier was gonna cry.

[Brian]

this failure is going to be epic and maddening

[rocket]

hahaha nice fundamentals, jerkoffs

[kujay]

Hahahaha. That was some cub baseball.

[Soul]

Now if they don't score, something is wrong with the universe.

[Fred Hornkohl]

The mere fact that the Cardinals exist is proof that there something is wrong with the universe.

I thought Motte was the greatest closer of all time ?

[Soul]

He grew a nasty beard, doesn't that make him great?

[Flames24Rulz]

Mariano's getting pulled in the middle of a save situation.
