Cardinals ***Official 2014 STL Cardinals thread part II*** - Page 124

**BigRedChief** · 06:41 PM

Original thread was getting to large for the board

2011 WS Championship
2012 one win from another WS
2013 two wins from another WS title
2014 Central Division title and NLCS series win (so far)

This is a franchise that has made the postseason 10 times in the last 14 seasons.

Only 1 losing season since 2000.

Reached the World Series 4 times since 2004 and won as many championships (two) the past eight seasons as it did from 1965 to 2005.

Our new Manager has more post season experience than any other manager in baseball, except the Giants manager.

Made the NLCS 8 times

Three million attendance? Take it to the bank.

60 post season wins since 2004. 20+ wins more than any other team.

I wouldn't want my season decided by a wild card winner take all game. Especially if it's Kershaw pitching against us. The division winner still has some worth.

I'm okay with this as long as he is honest with the team about his pain and whether he will make it another inning.

I don't like Lynn coming in the 2nd inning or something along those lines if Waino can't go or gets in trouble. Let Wacha come in. Save Lynn for game 2.

Is that dead arm thing really that bad? He was nails in September.

It's something he said he's had all year. He said it got really bad in August but felt better in September. The problem is he already had TJ surgery on that elbow once.

I love the way this is setting up. All the teams I truly hate are out, Dodgers, Yankme's and Red Sox. You Cardinal fans get a shot at revenge. My Giants are in the thick of things shooting for 3 WS championships in 5 years. Even the Royals are in the mix. Should be a lot of fun to watch.

Its your team and our team in the NLCS again. Just to piss off everyone else.

You have been to the NLCS 3 out of 5 years, correct? We have been to 4 straight NCLS's.

**BigRedChief** · 10-08-2014, 09:13 AM

OMG, I had no idea it was a $8.3 BILLION TV contract. Also that 70% of LA can't watch the games?

From the LA beat writers column.

Guggenheim shamelessly hid the Dodgers from their fans this summer with a money grab from Time Warner Cable that prevented the team from being on television in 70% of Los Angeles households. Yet, for all the riches of that $8.35-billion contract, they refused to allow the trading of prospects for one simple arm that could have saved the Dodgers in October.

Sorry Fruit and Pest but can't resist this from the column either........

No need to cut up the season, the Cardinals did that for them, once again leaving the Dodgers in sad little blue-stained pieces on their perfectly manicured turf with the arch cut into the outfield, the team that does everything right again triumphing over a team gone wrong.

All of my Red Sox fan friends from last year are now die hard Royals fans.

George Liquor · 10-08-2014, 09:58 AM

I'm so glad I don't have to put up with any of my friends acting like they are Sox fans and talking shit to me this year.

From a Tom Verdacci column

While the Royals (no pennants since 1985) and Orioles (no pennants since 1983) decide which drought will end, it seems like the Cardinals and Giants have been fighting over the NL flag every year. Since the wild-card system began in 1995, there have been more NLCS played with either St. Louis, San Francisco or both (11) than without (9).

The Cards and Giants have been especially good in October over the past five seasons. Since 2010, they have:

• Filled seven of the past 10 spots in the NLCS.

• Won all five NL pennants (with the latest to be decided between them).

• Gone 49-14 (.778) in postseason games against all other teams.

• Gone 15-1 in postseason series against all other teams (including Wild-Card Games).

Here's to seeing two Missouri teams in the World Series!

The best two teams are there. I can't wait for the series. Some amazing numbers for sure.
