Just John 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 I'm glad Pujols has a ring now. That's coming from an Astros fan. Anyway, there's no way you can call this a fluke. They were kind of like the Steelers earlier this year. Say what you will about them backing in, they played the best when it mattered and beat everyone put in front of them. You say any NL team could beat the Tigers, but no one could beat the Cardinals. Congrats STL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anakin Flair 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 Well I'll be damned. The Cards didn't choke this year. On the one hand, I know we won mostly due to luck. On the other hand, it's great that we won the championship in the first year in the new stadium. And Detroit just stated the obvious... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Open the Muggy Gate 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 Is Bud Selig a Jew? I think it was funny that he didn't know how to pronounce Eckstein. Congratulations to the 2002 champion California Angels! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 It's neat to see the Cardinals win the World Series. I've kind of been following them all year, (ever since I took Pujols on my fantasy team), and watching them overcome the odds this postseason has been fun. It's also really nice to see Pujols get a ring, since he's been the most dominant player in baseball for the last two or three years now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 Is Bud Selig a Jew? I think it was funny that he didn't know how to pronounce Eckstein. Congratulations to the 2002 champion California Angels! Just because they want to call themselves the Anaheim Angels, doesn't mean the rest of us have to. They are the California Angels until the end of time and they can like it. Unless they leave California, then the name change sounds fair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A World Series win in your inaugural season at New Busch Stadium. Nice. Yea, UndertakerHart is right on that one. I remember reading a story in SI many years ago that quoted one cameraman who went to Cameroon and saw a bunch of kids running around in "Buffalo Bills: Super Bowl Champions" t-shirts. I'd be lieing if I said that didn't make me chuckle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 Isn't it weird that the Tigers actually had won the World Series more recently than the Cardinals until tonight (1984 for Detroit, 82 for STL)? It's strange since the Tigers basically fell of the face of the earth for nearly 2 decades and the Cardinals have for the most part stayed in the mix.

Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 I'm glad Rolen and Edmonds have rings. Same with Pujols. Weaver was a dumbass for us, but I'm also happy for him. Congrats to all of them; to me they were pretty fun to watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MFer 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 Really we shouldn't be surprised at this result. Every series in these playoffs have gone the opposite of what was expected. Everyone was drinking the NL West's Kool-Aid cause of the way they finished the regular season, but the Padres and Dodgers couldn't get the job done. Minny was hot and they had Santanna. Some ppl even had them in the W.S. Obviously no one thought Detroit could beat the Yankees. Eveyone had the Mets over the Cards. Most ppl had the A's over the Tigers b/c of their experience and pitching. By time we got to the W.S. everyone jumped on the Tiger bandwagon and buried the Cards. The long layoff was supposed to help the Tigers but it seemed to work to their disadvantage. Detroit would have much rather played the underdog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Felonies! Report post Posted October 28, 2006 They were? I figured the NL West would lose in the first round, just as they did the last times they went to the postseason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randomguy 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 The Mets were really the big losers here, injuries in the final weeks of the season and still played down to the last out. The Tigers turned into the As, they have only themselves to blame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J. Hungerford Smith 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 Yadier Molina was the clear cut MVP, while Eckstein came up big the last 2 games, Molina was consistent not only throughout this series hitting over .400 but coming up huge for the entire playoffs.

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 Kind of an underwhelming World Series overall (partly due to FOX's usual crappy coverage), but it's nice for the Cards to have a championship. Now I just hope they fall off the cliff next year so the NL Central is a little more open (well, actually it was wide open this year, but no other team bothered to capitalize).

The only bad era during that time for the Cardinals was the Joe Torre era. The team never finished above second place during his tenure of 6 years. Yes, clearly his fault. Nothing to do with the fact that their pitching was mediocre at best the entire time. Whitey Herzog finished below second in six of his ten years, too, you know, including the three right before Torre was hired. I love how teams are defined by who's managing them, as if that has any impact at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
