CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 Golden opportunity slipped away for the Cards there. They needed to pound Verlander while he was still in the game. I doubt he'll last much past the third inning, if that. I couldn't believe they had enough time to get Belliard. I was expecting to see him already across the bag when the throw got there.

Annabelle 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 This is insipid. The Cards have played as well as they have all season. They deserved their wins. they deserved game 4? really? deserved? come on. the cards have played as well as having 83 wins. the lowest amount ever to win a world series. Yes. David Eckstein came up with the clutch hit when his team needed it, and Yadier Molina did the same. but without any of the errors, the opportunities wouldn't have arised to be "clutch".

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 but without any of the errors, the opportunities wouldn't have arised to be "clutch". You say errors as a plural. There was one error that led to two unearned runs. Without those runs, the Cards get to tee off Todd Jones in the ninth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at the last inning- Tigers made another stupid error It wasn't a stupid error. If Inge doesn't get Eckstein at first, a run scores. Eckstein advanced to second on the error, but didn't score himself. The error did not cost the Tigers a run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Paul Report post Posted October 28, 2006 I'm loving that the Tigers Pitchers can only throw the ball to the plate. Verlander has that "Pedro feel" when he's batting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 I know his brother pitches for the team but Jered Weaver wearing a bunch of Cardinals gear is...odd. And damn I'd been holding out hope that the A's would beat out the Cardinals to 10 World Championships for the record for most by a team not named the Yankees.

Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted October 28, 2006 Of all the Cardinal teams, THIS one is about to win a World Series? It's not surprising. They have Little Gritty David Eckstein. He's just a winner. I now know what Alexander has to do to be popular. Shrink a foot and become a lot less athletic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naiwf 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 Fuck you Detroit. The agony of the Mets loss stings even more now knowing that we too could have cakewalked to a title we didn't deserve just by showing up. To answer the previous question, Detroit shitted the bed. How do you go 5 games in a row with a pitcher making a fielding error? (I'm assuming the stat I heard on the radio was legit) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
