Joe Cool Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 CARDINALS going to the playoffs!!! Tigers will face them Yankees in the ALDS. Tigers in 4, repeat of 2006 and we've won the regular season series against them!! Feels like 06 all over again for both teams!!!
larrygator Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Red Sux. hahahahaha Go Rays! Seriously, those were two monstrous collapses by the Bravos and Red Sux.
Joe Cool Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 ^Definitely!! One of the craziest and greatest nights of baseball!!
Coaster Cow Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 One of the craziest and greatest nights of baseball!! Seconded. The rest of the postseason better be pretttyy good after this.
jjune4991 Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 What a great, great last day! Red sox and Braves collapse like igloos in summer and the Rays finish the sweep of the Yanks. What an amazing last day of the season! 9 games up in early september. ha!
ajc47 Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 That was the choke of the decade. One out away, against a last-place team with their ace closer and they can't get it done. Epic. Fail.
aimster Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 What a great, great last day! Red sox and Braves collapse like igloos in summer and the Rays finish the sweep of the Yanks. What an amazing last day of the season! 9 games up in early september. ha! That was definitely a beautiful thing. And then last night the Rays shutting out the Rangers 9-0 in game one. Matt Moore pitched another gem. I'm expecting great things from him. Not bad for an 8th round draft pick. Tonight... Shields was doing good until it all fell apart. Wow. It was painful to watch. Luckily Longoria hit that home run and made things close and made the Rangers a little nervous. Hopefully we'll get them in games 3 and 4 at home. The city of St. Pete is having a rally for the Rays at Ferg's, a bar across from Tropicana Field from 2-5pm. I'm going to try to make it out there for that. I'm jealous of my friends who have tickets to the games. I went to the playoffs & World Series in 2008 and loved the electricity of the postseason atmosphere. Nothing like it.
Joe Cool Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Hammels and Garcia pitching some great baseball right now. Go Cardinals!!!
harper83087 Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Bittersweet night last night, I watched my Tigers get theirs handed to them but also watched the Dbacks spank the Brewers. Here's to hoping the Tigers can get it together tomorrow night and the Dbacks take the game tonight so I can still watch some baseball
Joe Cool Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 AMAZING Cardinals beat the Phillies to go to the NLCS. Carpenter and Halladay was an amazing match up. Bring on the Brewers!!!
Joe Cool Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Pujols to the Angels http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/mlb/story/_/id/7330066/sources-albert-pujols-takes-10-year-deal-los-angeles-angels
Sir Clinksalot Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Talk about out of nowhere. I never really thought he would leave St. Louis, but looking at the big picture, it doesn't really surprise me. Cardinals had the chance to secure him last season, LaRussa is gone, etc.
BelizeIt Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Wow! The Angels sign BOTH Wilson and Pujols?! Thank God my RedSox only face them a couple of times a year. Yikes! But, it is a great move for the Angels. They are in one of the biggest markets in the country, and they are up for new TV contract soon, (which is worth $$$millions) and the addition of these proven winners will enhance those negoiations considerably. Any case, the American league just got a bit stronger.
pdcon Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Here is my take on the whole thing. Staring with Wilson, i believe him to be one of the most overrated pitchers in baseball, at best he will be the angels number 3 pitcher. So I am not really worried about him helping the angels. Now for pujols, I have lost all respect for this man, I really though he played the game because he had heart and passion for it, Guess not. He signed for 10 years 250 Million with the angels, the cardinals reportedly offered him 10 years 220 Million. So here is my question, He has been with the cardinals for 9-10 years,he has won 3 MVP awards, and has been to 3 world series and has won 2 of them, what more does he have to prove by leaving the cardinals? Was it really worth 3 Million a year when your already making 20+ million a year, to leave the cardinals and possibly ruin your legacy as a cardinal? Guess he is only in this sport for the money.
Jew Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 ^Or perhaps he realized that a long term deal with an AL team is a better fit for him, as he can keep his career going as a DH. He's already 31 years old with 11 seasons under his belt... FWIW, the Marlins reportedly offered him even more money.
FeelTheFORCE Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Some people just like to take on new challenges also. He has already accomplished basically all there is to accomplish with the Cardinals, so he deemed it time to move on and help a different franchise reach the ultimate goal.
BeemerBoy Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 So here is my question, He has been with the cardinals for 9-10 years,he has won 3 MVP awards, and has been to 3 world series and has won 2 of them, what more does he have to prove by leaving the cardinals? Was it really worth 3 Million a year when your already making 20+ million a year, to leave the cardinals and possibly ruin your legacy as a cardinal? Guess he is only in this sport for the money. How does leaving St. Louis "possibly ruin his legacy as a Cardinal"? He did what he did there, and now he's gone. It's not like his St. Louis stats get erased now. The only way his "legacy" gets tarnished is if it comes out that he juiced it like a certain other Cardinal....who, by the way, was pretty much forgiven after years of lies. Just sayin'. At least he's not like A-fraud, who needed to go to a powerhouse team in order to selfishly secure a "legacy."
Jew Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 The Cardinals also had a chance to re-sign him prior to the start of the season, but they badly underestimated his value and his love of the city.
DiSab Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Ryan Braun tests positive for PEDs. Thoughts on this one? Myself, I'm kinda surprised. Given that he's been adamantly against the use of PEDs in his career, and has been used as an example for doing it the right way, it seems odd that he'd show up in this discussion. A lot of rumbling in the NL Central, with Pujols leaving, Fielder possibly leaving, and now this.
DevilSaint Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Only 64 days until pitchers and catchers report and I can ignore the soon to be depressing Lakers basketball season!
Jew Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 There's still time to jump on the Clippers bandwagon. Lob City!
mcjaco Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 There's still time to jump on the Clippers bandwagon. Lob City! The Clippers were playing baseball???? No wonder they've sucked so long in the NBA!
Jew Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 ^Not sure how you didn't notice...they've been buried at the bottom with the Cubs for awhile now!
