Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2006 So Leyland would rather have Robertson start Game 7 then Bonderman? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2006 If I were Leyland, I woulda started the lefties back-to-back in games 1 and 2. The Cards have blown ass against lefties this year, and then this year's hottest Postseason pitcher, Kenny Rogers, coulda started two games at home where he's been really, really good this year. I guess if Leyland thought the Cards could take it to Game 7, he woulda down that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted October 21, 2006 Detroit's pitching seems so much better that I don't see how they can lose. So, I'll take the Cards in 6, as anything can happen in baseball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2006 I figured that Leyland would go with Kenny Rogers for game one. He is a veteran that would be least likely to get flustered in game one of the World Series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J. Hungerford Smith 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2006 I don't know where everyone is getting that the Cardinals pitching won't be able to hold off Detroit. You can say all you want about how mediocre they look on paper but they did throw 5 of 7 quality starts against the Mets who were arguably the best offense in MLB this year, and the bullpen has been pretty much nails. And are you all forgetting that Pujols had just one RBI in the NLCS as well? Everyone said before the playoffs that the Cardinals would have to get production from somewhere other than Pujols in the playoffs and they're doing exactly that, yet people continue to write them off.

Gert T 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2006 Tigers in 4, La Russa gets swept once again in the World Series. Does La Russa hold the record for consecutive WS losses at 8? Because as a Cards fan he can get to 11 as long as St. Louis wins the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2006 Ya'll know what the midwest is? Young and restless. Yeah, Detroit has to win. Leyland's a better manager than TLR. I mean, Jim Leyland wears CLEATS in the dugout and he made Pudge play 2nd base once. And that is why Jim Leyland is the greatest manager in the history of baseball.

Guest Felonies! Report post Posted October 21, 2006 "Midwest" is the worst geographic designation ever. And Saint Louis is a hard city to figure out, because they had the same waves of heavy German immigration as Chicago, Milwaukee, all your industrial cities of the Great Lakes area, but it's pretty far removed from those. According to the whole Nine Nations thing, St. Louis and Cincinnati are in there with the rest of the Rust Belt or whatever, even if it doesn't make the greatest deal of sense. At any rate, what St. Louis and Detroit do have in common is a ridiculously high level of white flight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
