Cardinals ***Official 2014 STL Cardinals thread part II*** - Page 254

**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.

That is about as good as a 4 game series can get. Cardinals organization and fans are a class act IMO. Thanks for letting a Giants fan hang out with you through the series.

I think that the media and others that are saying you are lucky are FOS. You guys make things happen. You don't screw up. You have a manager not fazed by the moment.

Game on the line. Your closer hasn't given up a run in a month. Doesn't matter, he gets pulled for the best match up possiblity. Our manager puts in a guy who hasn't pitched in a month.

You earned the WS berth. Congrats!

I guess you can go get that WS ticket now.

Just a little fun once every 3 decades or so.

Still can't believe Matheny put the Cards' entire season yesterday on a guy who hadn't pitched in 3 weeks. And he's not Ned Yost, so his stupid shit obviously isn't going work out.

I have started looking. I hope this doesn't get too expensive. Initial prices are scary.

Yea, I hope we never lose Botchy.

He is getting killed in every corner of the sports world. It was such a bad move, indefensible.

And to be so arrogant to not have a back up plan. We are just going to keep throwing out the same pitchers that failed.

He was hired because of his leadership and the players would follow him. He has done that. The problem is the X's and 0's are not coming around. He now has the most post season experience of any manager in baseball besides Bouchy. You should not be making dumbass decisions by now.

It's his arogance to stick by his players no matter what even if it means ending your season. I don't know how you change his managing like its High School mentality.

After seeing the arrogant know it all grin on that shitheads face after Choate got the out in game 4, nothing should surprise you. Matheny actually believes that he is a tactical genius. He is just another dumb jock that thinks he can coach.

That smile pissed me so bad. He's a LOOGY. He walked the first batter. Gave up a hit. And then got a batter out. Thats a cause for celebration? Celebrate your genius? "Your" player and move worked out? WTF, it didn't go as planned at all

Here's a good example of the national trashing of our manager

From The Art of Mathenaging:

As a Cardinals fan who has watched Mike Matheny manage his team for three years now, there is a certain cold comfort in seeing the consistent sense of bafflement over his decisions -- the feeling that the person driving the bus doesn't know where he's going, or where the steering wheel is -- go mainstream this postseason. We've known it for three years: Now the rest of you know.

At least Ned Yost seems like a lovable dunce.

I don't follow the Royals. I just know there is a lot of hate towards him. He can't mismanage his bullpen. Any one of those 3 at the end are lights out. What does he **** up that makes them angry?
