However, most of what I post about the Cardinals may be my opinion but a lot of what I espouse is the truth and mostly based on fact. Probably the last thing I will say about the Saint Louis Cardinals (this year) is that at least they can be relied upon having a winning season year after year and a playoff spot at the end of the regular season(s). Unlike yours and ebk's beloved Baltimore Orioles who have not made the post-season since 2016 (losing the Wild Card). In fact, the Orioles had 14 consecutive losing seasons between 1998 and 2011. That can never be said of the Cardinals. Now, that is a fact. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in a tough division but I believe we can be right there next year. Edited October 10, 2022 by LedZeppfan1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Buck telling the umps to check the Padres starting pitcher because he's making your squad look like little leaguers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 As we saw in the Mariners win over Toronto, no game is over until the last out. But the Mets better start making some noise soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebk Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I apologize to all the Mets fans (especially @paul carruthers) - I haven't rooted for the Mets in 53 years (old sports grudges should be forever!), but I was pulling for them this year. And look what that got me... I won't make that mistake again. Although, I do love Buck. It's so difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 No apologies necessary--having watched how the Mets gagged in September, when they were supposed to run through a cupcake schedule, I saw the October collapse coming a mile away. I might be more angry that the Padres didn't finish us in a sweep, instead of giving some Mets fans hope in Game 3. I won't even take any solace in the Dodgers beating down San Diego in the next round. Maybe I'll just spend the rest of the playoffs rooting for Houston or Cleveland...

Why would you cheer for a cheating bunch of Astros? To hell with Houston. I am going to pick Seattle to beat them.

custard pie man Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 well there was some excellent pitching in the mets series and the problem was it wasn't the big money Met pitchers , they choked it big time down the stretch, kudos to Padres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 One thing I will add, the starting pitching for the most part has been much better than last year. The 2021 playoffs were fucking brutal to sit through with all those bullpen games.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Results of the Wild Card round. Seattle @ Toronto: road team won. Tampa Bay @ Cleveland: home team won. Philadelphia @ St. Louis: road team won. San Diego @ New York: road team won. For the Division Series round, I am going all chalk. Yankees over Indians. Asstros over Mariners (my heart is with Seattle, though). Braves over Phillies. Dodgers over Padres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul carruthers Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Not that I would ever overreact to one game--especially with how the Astros can hit--but this might be the day (and round) for big upsets. Of course, the Braves have bats, too, so even if they drop today's game, I won't sweat it. Maybe Seattle is just better than I expected.... 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) Houston Astros!!! (and the Phillies - forget the Braves and the Dodgers). Edit to add: I forgot to forget the Yankees.

LedZeppfan1977 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Did anyone doubt that Atlanta would come back? Darvish has pitched well. The Dodgers have owned the Padres. Musgrove is coming off a beastly performance, but even if he were to win a game, the Dodgers are deeper than the Mariana Trench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to your dislike and constant complaining of the Houston Astros, they cheated. How else do you explain that game ending and game winning home run? You should have already known that. If the Astros defeat Seattle, they cheated (somehow). If the Houston Astros win the World Series, they cheated (again, somehow). That will be your mantra: "The Houston Astros are cheaters". We (or at least I) expect that to be your response. Regardless, Go Astros (cheaters or NOT). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingzoso Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Go Indians, Phillies and Padres (even though I am not a fan of them because of that over-hyped and cocky Soto dude and I definetly do not like the Dodgers for the same reason). I still want those cheating Astros to win it all. If they are that good at cheating as some claim, they should have no problem at all.
