my guess would be Loshe, Garcia, Carp, Jackson

win series 3-1

BTW, great thread, Woodfoot

this has to be the longest-running thread in Sports Talk history

9/29/2011 7:35:22 PM

Feels like most of the Cardinals fans outgrew TWW.

9/29/2011 11:14:13 PM

Pretty stupid to start Carp on short rest and then he only goes 3. Pinch hitter Punto strikes out of course with 2 on. Need this win badly.

10/2/2011 10:37:38 PM

Sweet win after Carp struggled. 12 hits off Cliff Lee. 1-1 going to back home.

10/3/2011 12:02:49 AM

Yeah that was a HUGE comeback. We go home down 2-0 with Garcia on the mound, I am not liking our odds.

10/3/2011 12:04:48 AM

You guys realize the Cardinals lost today, right?

Giants - 31
Cardinals - 27

You couldn't ask for a better Game 5 match-up. Carpenter has been the face of the St. Louis pitching staff for.... a long time now. This has been an awesome run, and win or lose, what a great season.

10/5/2011 9:59:57 PM

Oh yeah old teammates and pals face off in a winner take all game.

Just hope our guy comes out on the good end. Pitching him on short rest set this up.

W00T W00T W00T

Carpenter beat the great Halladay.....haha

10/7/2011 11:14:37 PM

fuckin right


Great game last night. I was upset that they wasted Carp for game 2 at the time on 3 days rest but it worked out finally. There were some great plays last night on D to save that game but he was awesome.

10/9/2011 8:51:14 PM

We gotta win one at Milwaukee somehow....not too upset we scored 6 runs off their ace. They were supposed to win this one. Lost game 1 to Philly too.

10/10/2011 1:06:39 AM

10/10/2011 6:19:11 PM

^ LOL. ESPN does not give a fuck about sports unless it involves football and even then, their "analysis" is garbage.

10/10/2011 6:22:20 PM

aha 12-3

10/11/2011 12:03:47 AM

w00t

lots of runs this series

10/11/2011 7:31:24 AM

It's easy to say this now, but I really don't think our "upset" of Philly was all that much of an upset. Sure, Philly had 12 more wins than the Cards, but as I have repeatedly posted, there were probably 20 games that any "typical" team would have/should have won if not for monumental bullpen collapses. So in reality, the 12 extra wins by Philly is not really as big of a gap as it seems.

I guess the big "upset" part is more attributed to the fact that Philly had a 3-man rotation that was probably better than our best guy. Teams have won the World Series with an average team and two really good pitchers (the Diamondbacks with Johnson and Schilling come to mind), but to have three guys that are in the prime of their career is pretty amazing.

Anyway, we looked great tonight. Our offense is clicking big time. Here's to going up 3-1 at home.

10/11/2011 7:41:58 AM

I am just about done with having Matt Holliday on the team.

10/12/2011 10:51:48 PM

As an NL fan, I could almost stomach St. Louis winning it all if I didn't have to hear a homer call the series on Fox.

10/12/2011 10:59:30 PM

^^He's battled tough injuries all year. He still hit .296 and had 22 homers and 75 RBIs in only 124 games.

10/12/2011 11:02:50 PM

Yeah, but he seems like he sucks balls in the playoffs. His error cost us Game 2 of the 2009 NLDS. He's 7 for 31 (.226) in the playoffs, which is bad. It's especially bad considering he gets a LOT of good pitches to swing at hitting after Pujols. He swings at a lot of pure SHIT, especially stuff that is low in the zone. You really can't blame swinging at bad pitches on an injury. I say we trade him for Cliff Lee and Roy Halliday. And cash.

10/12/2011 11:35:40 PM

^ Braves will take Holliday off your hands. We'll even throw in Nate McLouth and Derek Lowe as a thank you gift.

10/13/2011 6:52:47 AM

Holliday just answered your complaining. Although I have no clue how that went out.

10/13/2011 8:34:36 PM

where is your god now, feebleminded

10/13/2011 8:35:18 PM

I hope the 1-0 score holds up

need one of those kind of games

10/13/2011 8:36:59 PM

Hit Greinke and Gallardo hard and shut the bed against Wolf. Typical Cardinals.

If the Brewers started a dude that made his first MLB appearance they would be better off.

10/13/2011 10:44:23 PM

Are you kidding me with this rally squirrel bullshit?

10/13/2011 10:50:20 PM

You're right, I take back all those things I said after his performance tonight. OK, not really.

I seriously think with all the talent we have offensively that we would be much better served either signing a better starting pitcher (Westbrook just aint cutting it) or freeing up more $Texas so we can show Pujols the money.

10/14/2011 6:31:00 AM

IF we let Pujols walk, re-sign Furcal, re-sign Edwin Jackson, move Berkman to first, Craig everyday RF. Chambers is a good 4th OFer with speed. Maybe sign Prince? A closer like Bell? Lots of options, still future looks good.

Furcal - SS
Jay/Craig - CF
Holliday - LF
Berkman -1B
Freese - 3B
Craig/Jay - RF
Molina - C
Skip/Theriot - 2B

Bench: Descalso, Theriot, Chambers, Shane Robinson, Catcher

Wainwright
Carpenter
Jaime
Lohse
Jackson

McClellan
Rzcepzski
Lynn
Salas
Motte

Pretty solid team and probably NL Central favorites even w/o Pujols since the Brew Crew is likely to lose Prince and KRod.

10/14/2011 11:21:07 AM

Enough of next year, one win from the series baby! W00T W00T

Holliday was inspired by your comments Feeble!

10/15/2011 12:26:32 AM

Haha I knew he had a TWW account! Holiday d12 exposed.

10/15/2011 1:13:45 AM

Amazing what this team is doing. What a ride this has been.

10/16/2011 11:58:47 PM

Cards going to the World Series!!!

10/17/2011 12:12:46 AM

I see no reason why this shouldn't be a 40 page thread by next week.

10/17/2011 12:03:03 PM

Hope Carpenter's elbow is ok with the extra rest and that CJ Wilson still sucks in the postseason.

I'm so pumped!

10/19/2011 7:27:31 PM

speak up, Scottie

10/19/2011 7:56:27 PM

I am just about done with having Yadi on the team.

Dumb

10/19/2011 11:11:04 PM

is it dumb or is it brilliant?

10/19/2011 11:13:18 PM

lol tke going with the reverse.....

1-0 good guys. hey now get out. Cards offense sucks remember? Even though they led the NL just about every major hitting category.

10/19/2011 11:19:31 PM

Lowest THR score in the league. In fact, it was historically low.

10/19/2011 11:20:23 PM

10/19/2011 11:24:40 PM

enlighten me

i'm not up on all the new fad stats

10/19/2011 11:25:16 PM

Obvious troll is obvious.

Relax, big guy. It's fall and your boys are in the Series.

^

It's made up bullshit.

10/19/2011 11:25:44 PM

Wow beat by a blooper and SB and then Pujols cost us the 2nd run.

10/20/2011 11:17:03 PM

OH WE BACK.

Tonight was a beatdown.

To be honest, I think St. Louis has pretty much been dominant all the way through all 3 games--we just had one bad inning in game 2 that cost us the "W". I mean, the first 2 games were close--I think the Cards were dominant, but not far and away so. Still, we've been ahead just about all the way through all 3 games, and would be winning the series 3-0 were it not for the 9th inning of game 2.
