2012 Playoffs Thread

[Sammy Sofa]

Even Descalwhatever can't attribute his performance to anything except luck. He's a sadsack Cubs fan and a Cardinal rolled into one; HOW COULD I HATE YOU MORE?!?!

[Geech]

Jesus, I'm sick of the Cardinals. Postseason baseball is ceasing to be any fun for me.

[Mark Priors Calves]

Champagne celebrations after each of these rounds is ridiculous.

[TruffleShuffle]

to recap the last calendar year plus for the cardinals:

 

-get into playoffs after braves suffer one of the greatest collapses in history.

-beat heavily favored phillies, whose bats completely fall asleep.

-win world series over favored rangers after rangers blow a pair of two-run leads in game six. top performers include people named allen craig and david freese.

-make the playoffs in 2012 as a team that wouldn't have made the playoffs in any other year since major league baseball began.

-win "play-in" game after a disputed call and horrendous defense by the opposing team.

-win game five of NLDS after very good opposing starter struggles to hold lead, very good opposing bullpen melts down, and people named daniel descalso and peter kozma overcome a two-run deficit in the ninth inning.

 

 

strongly considering atheism at this point.

7 of the last 13 NLCSs have involved the St. Louis Cardinals.

I hope all their bottles are filled with acid

[Sammy Sofa]

I will take it as a cue to drink excessively.

Considering? Newsflash: at this point not believing that some god or gods are real and favor the Cardinals makes you a lunatic.

Agghhhh! The goggles! They do nothing!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Postseason series victories since 1980:

 

Cardinals 17, Cubs 1

[Andy]

If they go on to win this thing, they will have the THREE worst teams to ever win the Random Championship Generator.

[TruffleShuffle]

If the engines on the Cardinals plane went out on their way to San Francisco for the ALCS one of their [expletive] payers would probably hop out onto the wings and manually restart the engines and safe the [expletive] day. I [expletive] hate them.

 

LOL'ed at this.

[bhogg]

grit, grinders, etc. . . [expletive] the whole lot of them and their stupid [expletive] don't stink fans. . . . so much hate right now.

good point.

[Brian]

If I was the owner of the Cardinals I would tell my GM to stop signing free agents, it's pointless at this point.

They seriously got a series winning hit from Pete Kozma. Unreal. Why did I root for King Kong Bundy? I should have known Hulk had a hulk up in him.

[El Duderino]

This is like Stone Cold at WM17 all over again.

[Soul]

I CAN TAKE NO MORE!

 

Switching to non-baseball programming :)

Other than Holliday and Beltran, they really have never made any effort to bring in established good players from the outside. And why would you?

[Tryptamine]

The worst part is that this [expletive] is just going to keep happening when they restock next year with the best hitter in the minors, Oscar Taveras.

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeah, it's not like Beltran did anything tonight.

Don't forget Shelby Miller. I'm sure he'll be top five in Cy Young voting.

Why not? Kyle Lohse did this year.

[Exile on Waveland]

I know people mock the "pixie dust" histrionics . . . but I'm going full meatball at this point. And you know what? It worked. I won three straight bets at the bar tonight. First, Cards would get at least two runners on. Double or nothing they'd tie the score. Double or nothing again that they'd win. And I never doubted any of the bets. It's amazing, their luck. Oh, and I was depressed/angered enough I ceased talking to the girl I was talking to.

 

The Cardinals are totally going to win the World Series again. With a crap team. Why the heck not?
