The Cards pulled that one out of the dumper, but they still have a ways to go.

Pujols is undeniably dangerous, but he's not a machine; he had every chance of dribbling one to shortstop instead of launching it halfway to New Mexico. With a top-notch closer on the mound, Garner trusted his pitcher, and this time he hung the wrong slider to the wrong guy. It's baseball, it happens.

This might be sycamore's pre-christmas miracle.

Silly me, I watched the Rams get their asses beat last night.

My thoughts on last night

Sorry, Fred...I know if I were an Astros fan right now, I'd be confident, but still shell-shocked.

Sycamore, you need to practice turning over police cars and setting city busses on fire, just in case.

Nah...we don't do anything like that here. We just bitch and complain about it a bit, then move on. Very rarely do St. Louis sports fans get really riled up. In fact, about the only thing that we're still pissed off about is the 1985 World Series (the blown call by umpire Don Denkinger in game 6).

plthijinx · 10-19-2005, 03:09 PM

oh yeah, that's right....the yanks riot, the southerners just throw a huge party and get drunk!

plthijinx · 10-20-2005, 08:01 AM

this town was electric last night! down here everyone gets in such a cheery mood when we win something huge that the crime rate here drops.

Goooooooo 'stroooooooooos!

elSicomoro · 10-20-2005, 11:05 PM

The Cardinals are becoming more and more like LaRussa's Oakland A's...can't finish the deal. I don't think that's necessarily a reflection on LaRussa, but it does make one wonder...

The better team clearly won, and I congratulate the Astros on winning the NL pennant. Having said that, I've been a fan of the Sox for years, and would love to see them end their curse...GO SOX!!!

Griff · 10-21-2005, 05:46 AM

I wonder if Steinbrenner has reflected on who the two game one pitchers are for the best teams in baseball.

Yankees talk to Bowa

October 20, 2005
NEW YORK (AP) -- Former Philadelphia Phillies manager Larry Bowa is talking to the New York Yankees about the possibility of joining the team as a coach.

Bowa was fired by the Phillies on the final weekend of the 2004 season after leading the team to a 337-308 record. Known for a fiery personality, he was 81-127 in 1 1/2 seasons with San Diego from 1987-88.

New York has two coaching openings following the departures of bench coach Joe Girardi and pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre.
