and the Cardinals rule all!

[Silly String]

WildBob, where you at now?
Those babies you be having with Kenny are gonna be all covered up in pine tar. Pine tar and muconium, wow, I don't even want to think about that combo.

I'm back after a self-imposed exile due to my last post in a sports related thread. If the Chiefs would quit chasing that "Passion Party" ass, I would have been right. Dang hookers with a hotel room full of toys cost us a game, and me a nice hit to my FTR Community reputation. I said I'd quit poker, but I lied. What can I say, I lie a lot.

But I digress, the point is the Cardinals are up 2:1 and playing the next 2 games at home. LaRussa is taking the high road, and I plan on having no excuses if we win this thing. I am feeling confident right now, but not cocky yet.
Bonderman, Phat Albert is coming for you. "Hey, hey, heyyyyy!!"

[ensign_lee]

Oh....BASEBALL Cardinals...

[Silly String]

I certainly wasn't referring to Bidwell's deserters. AZ can keep 'em. Fold pre-flop.

[Lukie]

speaking of the CARDINALS, they ruined my dreams of the raiders becoming the first 0-16 team in the history of football.

[a500lbgorilla]

Go from 30 minutes away from a very convincing victory over the number 1 team in the land to losing to the worst team of the past decade.

[Eric]

I'm not a huge baseball fan but I did buy a Cardinals hat about 6 months ago.

[cardsman1992]

What a pitching performance. Here's hoping Suppan can do it again!

Is it going to rain too hard to get the game in tonight, String?

[WildBobAA]

I'm still here.

What can i say when granderson, polonco, and rodriguez are 0 for the series?

And you live in KC but you're a Cardinal fan? Do you cheer for the Royals at all? How come you're a chiefs fan and not a rams fan?

[Silly String]

Royals? Who are they?
Nah, I'm a STL transplant that went to school at Univ. of Kansas, so I have all sorts of mixed up loyalties:
KU Jayhawks,
STL Cardinals,
KC Chiefs (went to KU as Rams came to town, so no loyalty there),
STL Blues,

I go to a handful of Royals games every year. Especially the interleague games with the Cards Royals are just a way to get my MLB fix during the summer when I can't get to a Cards game. Not to mention the National League is how the game should be played, IMO.

[bigred]

I hope the tigers still win. Are there even people out there in St. Louis? I'm pretty sure anything east of new york is just a fable.

[WildBobAA]

Yea well, we'll see what happens in the series. Verlander won't pitch that bad again in his next start and I don't know wtf was up with Zumaya last night. I also hate the 2-3-2 format baseball uses.

The media was saying how we were going to walk all over the Cardinals but I did not think that for a second. I mean, they won the NLCS 2 of the last 3 years and the lost in game 7 the other year.

Granderson, Polonco, and Rodriguez are just killing our chances right now. It's disgusting.

[bigred]

If the tigers has come in right after the athletic sweep I think this would be a 3-0 series for them but the waiting period kinda killed their momentum.

[Silly String]

Yep, see 2004 Red Sox.

Get hot, win 8 straight.

[bigred]

Best team ever, amirite?

We and hopefully the tigers are gonna turn you guys into this decades buffalo bills.

[WildBobAA]

I really don't see us scoring enough runs to win this series. The week off just killed our offense.

Hey debbie downer, let's not give up just yet.

[WildBobAA]

Not giving up but wow. How can you have any confidence at all at this point? Pudge is on an 0-23 streak. Granderson, Polonco, and Pudge are 0-34 in the series. Combine that with our pitcher having to hit in St. Louis and right now, we have 4 automatic outs in our lineup.

Just being realistic.

[Aces]

What about the UofL Cardinals? Undefeate, ranked #6, huge game against undefeated WVU next Thu.

[bigred]

don't u know anything about baseball? besides arod, all player who have 0 for whatever series are due. It's a rule.

[DaNutsInYoEye]

Is it going to rain too hard to get the game in tonight, String?

They're not going to play tonight. It's pretty miserable here right now and I doubt it will improve much by game time.

I was going to try an be a baller last night so a friend and I went downtown to try and get tickets. I was hoping to find something for around $500, but the cheapest I could find for a shitty seat was $600. I know I could have got him down to $500 or maybe even less, but I got cold feet after the experience of buying a counterfeit ticket during the regular season. I mean if the dude was ripping people of $24 during the season I can only imagine what people are trying to do now.

I had to settle for being pseudo-baller by drinking imports at the sports bar we went to.

[Silly String]

Bigred, your knowledge of playoff baseball is outstoundingly poor. O-fer is not a good thing, and doesn't make you due. Not much EAST of NY except a big pond. And the Cardinals will never be mentioned in the same sentence as the Buffalo Bills. They are the second winningest franchise to the Imperial Army in NY.
Nevertheless, I appreciate your A-rod knock.
By the way, I'm going to raise pre-flop because I'm 0-30 and due to hit a set with my ducks.

[Silly String]

Rain Delay -- Game #4
Could be a late night tonight.

[WildBobAA]
