Game 7 tonight

[Jimcs50]

St Louis will be playing in their 14th Game 7, which breaks the record in all of sports. :smokin

The Cards are going against the Mets' Oliver Perez, who has the worst winning percentage(3-13) of any pitcher to ever start a playoff game, and they are putting Jeff Suppan on the mound who has started more playoff games than any pitcher ever, in a 3 year span.


Good stuff.


Go Cardinals!!!

[johngateswhiteley]

...yeah, the odds are in the cardinals favor. but i'll stick with my original prediction of the Mets in 7. i think the Mets Offense (Beltran and Delgado) light up Suppan and the Mets win.

[brian3]

mets will win. they've got the momentum

[Jimcs50]

mets will win. they've got the momentum

the won one game in a row, and that is momentum?

:rolleyes

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Mets win in 16.

[DarkReign]

the won one game in a row, and that is momentum?

:rolleyes

I agree. They played an elimination game last night, the Cards did not. Lets see what both teams look like when their proverbial "back is to the wall". Tonight will be awesome.

Good luck to both teams.

[Vizzini]

Mets win in 16.


16 Innings? As a Tiger fan I can only hope it goes that long, have both teams blow out their bullpens and benches two nights before the World Series.

[johngateswhiteley]

i'd like to see an extra inning game....that would be fun.

[Trainwreck2100]

I say walk Beltran and Delgado and pitch to everyone else

[johngateswhiteley]

I say walk Beltran and Delgado and pitch to everyone else

only if the cardinals want to win.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

And here I was thinking David Wright would pop up to C.

[ducks]

:dizzy do not think

[ducks]

And here I was thinking David Wright would pop up to C.
sorry could not help myself:smokin

[Marklar MM]

According to ESPN Sportsnation, every state in the US has the Tigers winning the World Series...woot.

[T Park]

Nice way to tie it up on a suicide squeeze by Ronnie Belliard.

Gotta hope Suppan keeps em off the board, and the Cardinal bats magically wake up.

[Trainwreck2100]

Are there any words to describe the mountain of suckage that is Joe Buck?

[Burn531]

So if the ball hits the ground first then hits you, you get to take your base? What's with that?

[T Park]

Suppan pitchin a good one.

Offense needs a machete upside the head.

[Trainwreck2100]

ALl this Perez humping can only mean he's about to give up a long ball.

[Marklar MM]

Now that was a nice fucking catch and double play. He had to be 4 feet over teh wall to get that one.

[Chris]

What a spectacular clutch catch. Simply amazing.

[ShoogarBear]

That might have been the greatest catch I've ever seen.

That was up there with Willie Mays off Vic Wertz.

[spyder]

Wow

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Oliver should probably name his first three children after Endy.

[Chris]

Oliver should probably name his first three children after Endy.
:lol

[ShoogarBear]

He should let him have first impregnation honors.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

:lol

The conversation before, during and after Willie's visit.



me: I don't care how good Oliver Perez is pitching, I think now is a good time to take him out.
Scooter: yes, you are very right
dont press your luck, especially with how solid their BP is
me: He's going to give up a HR and I will be angry.
Scooter: i hate both these teams so much
me: Here we go....good job, Willie.
Scooter: wow, Isiah is such a dipshit
me: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Scooter: and the house of cards tumbles
right on top of oli perez
me: OMFG
Scooter: wow
stranger things...
me: Oliver needs to name his firstborn Endy.
Scooter: if he comes back out, willie randolph needs his head examined
me: And his second Endi.
And his third Endee.
Scooter: that was nasty'
cards fans everywhere screamed in agony
me: Even better....Cliff Floyd doesn't bring that back.
Scooter: nope

[Trainwreck2100]

The conversation before, during and after Willie's visit.

You're v broke just so ya know

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Scott Buckner.

[ShoogarBear]

Not a very good inning for Rolen.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

You're v broke just so ya know

Yeah, I know...for some strange reason, I thought the Spurs were playing a game tonight.

[Bob Lanier]

:elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant

[Jimcs50]

OMG!!! Rolen threw the ball into the stands.

:flipoff

[willie]

willie is in the house bitches

[willie]

chavez's name will be imprinted on tpark's great white south

[T Park]

Just curious, did Endy Chavez rob Rolen of a home run?

[Jimcs50]

Just curious, did Endy Chavez rob Rolen of a home run?


You missed it!!!????


It was an awesome catch.


This is NOT Rolen's inning.

:)

[T Park]

I can't tell whats going on here im watching ESPN Gameplan.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Just curious, did Endy Chavez rob Rolen of a home run?

I'm not near the TV, but I thought it was Edmonds.

[T Park]

That would be par for the course for ROlen lately.

Has a surefire homerun but is robbed.

[Jimcs50]

I'm not near the TV, but I thought it was Edmonds.

No, Edmonds was doubled up when he did not get back to bag in time. Nobody expected Chavez to catch that ball.

[willie]

endy chavez up to finish off the cards. 3 run triple to right.

[ShoogarBear]

It was Rolen.

[willie]

maybe not

[Jimcs50]

:elephant


OUT OF THE JAM!!!!

[Jimcs50]

It was Rolen.


Shoog, try to keep up.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

endy chavez up to finish off the cards. 3 run triple to right.

Or popping out on the first pitch, one or the other.

[Marklar MM]

Oliver should probably name his first three children after Endy.

Endi, Endo, and Enda.

[Chris]

and Jim can breathe again

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Endi, Endo, and Enda.

I had Endy, Endi and Endee...but those are good too.

[T Park]

Wow, what a pitching performance tonight from Jeff Suppan.

He so deserves a win.

Of course from what im reading, if it wasn't for Endy Chavez, it would 3-1 Cardinals.


:flipoff Endy Chavez.


Oh well. Gotta shake it off, and take this new found momentum and GO GET THE LEAD!!!!



PS

Sometimes after reading or seeing a play like Endy made, it makes you wonder if its your time to go ya know, just makes you wonder if fate just plays a huge role in it being not your time to go back to the series.

Oh well.

TPark, the playoffs have needed a play like this. The playoffs this year have been HORRIBLE.

This game is helping the cause

[ShoogarBear]

Shoog, try to keep up.You wanna know what I'm keeping up?

[T Park]

Well bradford is in, ths will be impossible to get a hit off of him.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

You wanna know what I'm keeping up?

The neighbors with your frequent trips to the bathroom?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

You wanna know what I'm keeping up?

My taxes with your Social Security payouts?

[Jimcs50]

You wanna know what I'm keeping up?


Why, you looking at gay porn?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

You wanna know what I'm keeping up?

The retirement age?

[Chris]

How many innings does Bradford pitch?

[Jimcs50]

The neighbors with your frequent trips to the bathroom?

:lol

[Jimcs50]

How many innings does Bradford pitch?

1

he pitched last night

[ShoogarBear]

Amateur Mike night.

[Chris]

Even with Suppan pitching lights out I'm surprised there isn't anybody in the Card's bullpen

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

You wanna know what I'm keeping up?

Sales of Metamucil?

[T Park]

Yeah, gotta pray that the 8th is the inning with Eckstein, I would think Spiezio and Pujols.

[Jimcs50]

Damn wet grass...that hit by Suppan would have gotten through normal grass.

[T Park]

Gotta pray Suppan gets through this inning with the pinch hitter, Reyes and Lo Duca.

If he can, he will go down as one of the most clutch pitchers in Cards history.

[T Park]

I don't know if its a good thing or bad thing that Jim is rooting for the Cardinals :lol


Oy....

[Chris]

It's not a bad thing as long as he doesn't make any mid game predictions :nope

[ShoogarBear]

I don't know if its a good thing or bad thing that Jim is rooting for the Cardinals :lol


Oy....Nice try.

You know EXACTLY what it is.

[ShoogarBear]

Scott Rolen KILLED that ball!

[/Jimcs50]

[Chris]

lol

[Jimcs50]

I don't know if its a good thing or bad thing that Jim is rooting for the Cardinals :lol


Oy....


TPark, I grew up a Cards fan in the NL. I was born 20 miles from there in Illinois and rooted for them in the late 60s and 70s when I was a kid. Huge Ozzie fan my whole life. Then I switched to Astros in the 86 season.

[Jimcs50]

It's not a bad thing as long as he doesn't make any mid game predictions :nope


I predict the Cards will win it in 9th inning.

[Chris]

This game could get rained out by the 8th...

[King]

I predict the Cards will win it in 9th inning.

Son of a bitch.

[Chris]

I predict the Cards will win it in 9th inning.
Disaster for Cardinals is in the midst.

[Jimcs50]

TPark, do you remeber the 85 Series betw St Louis and KC when it was raining harder than this and the game kept being delayed and finally ended about 2am?


That series really pissed me off.

Then the next year, the Mets really pissed me off.

[Chris]

Suppan has thrown a lot of pitches...

[Jimcs50]

Suppan has thrown a lot of pitches...


70% of them strikes

[ShoogarBear]

TPark, do you remeber the 85 Series betw St Louis and KC when it was raining harder than this and the game kept being delayed and finally ended about 2am?


That series really pissed me off.

Then the next year, the Mets really pissed me off.:lmao, T Park was about two years old then, doofus.

[Jimcs50]

Pujols will hit HR in 8th inning.


I predict it. :smokin

[T Park]

lol i was 5 actually Shoogar, but no.

I do remember stories I think in 82 in the NLCS against the Braves they were facing I think Neikro, and the game went 4 innings and then rained out, and the Cardinals went on to win the series.

[mikejones99]

no, words cannot describe his suckage. Mute it

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Pujols will hit HR in 8th inning.


I predict it. :smokin

Translation: Pujols breaks his bat on a dribbler back to the mound.

[Jimcs50]

:lmao, T Park was about two years old then, doofus.


TPark is only 23?????


How am I supposed to know this, anyway....doofus?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

TPark is only 23?????


How am I supposed to know this, anyway....doofus?

The birthday thread yesterday, maybe?

[ShoogarBear]

Don Denkinger.

:smokin

[T Park]

Pujols will hit HR in 8th inning.


I predict it.


Damn, a 1,2,3 inning.



Just kiddin man.



But wow, what a freakin performance once again, from Jeff Suppan. 1 run 2 hits 7 innings.


15 total innings this NLCS vs the Mets, 1 earned run given up.


4 total runs given up in 19 2.3 innings this postseason.


Soupy stepped it up!!


Now for godsakes Cards batters, Go out there, get a couple runs and GET HIM THE DAMN WIN!!!!!!!!!!


LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jimcs50]

lol i was 5 actually Shoogar, but no.

I do remember stories I think in 82 in the NLCS against the Braves they were facing I think Neikro, and the game went 4 innings and then rained out, and the Cardinals went on to win the series.


Anyway, it was a wild game.

[ShoogarBear]

[flying in the chopper to the roof]
Big Johnson: Just like fuckin' Saigon ain't it, Slick?
Little Johnson: I was in junior high, dickhead.

[T Park]

Ill assume it was :lol

Ok

Spiezio basehit.

Pujols home run










please? :cry

[Jimcs50]

[flying in the chopper to the roof]
Big Johnson: Just like fuckin' Saigon ain't it, Slick?
Little Johnson: I was in junior high, dickhead.




My favorite movie.

Yippikayee motherfucker

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I wish Heilman would hit Spiezio in the chin and cut that god-awful facial hair off.

I wouldn't mind the Cards winning if that happened.

[Jimcs50]

Go Pujols!!!!!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Foul-tip into Lo Duca's glove.

[Jimcs50]

BULLSHIT!!!!


Pussies!!!

[resistanze]

BWAHAHAHA, smart move.

[Jimcs50]

BWAHAHAHA, smart move.



Pussies!!!!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Somebody should tell Juan to bring his 6-iron to his next AB.

[Trainwreck2100]

I say walk Beltran and Delgado and pitch to everyone else

[Jimcs50]

BWAHAHAHA, smart move.



Nolan Ryan would not have walked him, he would have thrown the high cheese and struck him out.


Mets are pussies!!!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Nolan Ryan would not have walked him, he would have thrown the high cheese and struck him out.


Mets are pussies!!!

And yet, here we are still tied.

[Chris]

Nah thats just good managing and pitching

[T Park]

smart move.

Even though Pujols can'thit.

Force Juan Im a stifff Encarnacion to hit.


THat was predictable.


And Suppan stays in?

Thats not good....

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

This is just like Smoltz and Morris in '91.

Except not entertaining at all.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I think you can go get him now.

[Chris]

gg Suppan

[Trainwreck2100]

La Russa will pay for this after Delgado sends one to the bleachers after the first pitch.

[Chris]

This is just like Smoltz and Morris in '91.

Except not entertaining at all.

You don't find this entertaining? This is a righteous baseball game!

[ShoogarBear]

Nolan Ryan would not have walked him, he would have thrown the high cheese and struck him out.


Mets are pussies!!!Nolan Ryan choked in 1980 against the Phillies.

[T Park]

An absolute travesty Suppan wont get to win this game.

Travesty i tell you.

[Jimcs50]

TPark, just be glad you still do not have Julian Tavarez...he blew for my Sox this year

[Jimcs50]

Nolan Ryan choked in 1980 against the Phillies.

I would not know, I was 5

[Chris]

Just a matter of time before the Mets' bats wake up.

[T Park]

Tavarez was a stud in 04 what are you talkin about.

He came in and pitched 2 great innings in game 6 2004 with a broken hand, and another 2 in game 7.


Flores did good with Delgado, it would be nice to bring in Kinney take out Wright and end the inning.


God I hate getting emotionally involved with the damn team!!!!!!!

ARGGGGGG

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

These fans are awful. Where's the noise?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Nice pitch around the plate.

[Chris]

Flores looks scared to death out there.

[Jimcs50]

Tavarez was a stud in 04 what are you talkin about.

God I hate getting emotionally involved with the damn team!!!!!!!

ARGGGGGG


Beltran hommered off him to win a game for Astros


But this year, he blew more games for Red Sox than I can remember

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

You don't find this entertaining? This is a righteous baseball game!

I'm just joking.

That, and I'm in a sports department that is just hoping this game ends before deadline.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Nolan Ryan choked in 1980 against the Phillies.

I was born only two months earlier.

[T Park]

What an absolutely clutch and fabulous inning by Flores.


COME ON YOU REDBIRDS GET SOME GODDAMN RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Great framed shot.

http://espn-ak.starwave.com/photo/2006/1019/mlb_g_chavez_412.jpg

[T Park]

Flores looks scared to death out there.

Anything but.

Flores has been nails all year.


If they don't score in the top of the 9th wich is VERY VERY likely, more than likely Tyler Johnson comes in.

[T Park]

snow coned it too.

Wow, that makes me feel even worse......


If not for that ahole, the Cardinals would be 3 outs from the world series.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

They better hurry up...

ballgame

[King]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddy

[Jimcs50]

I told you!!!!


:elephant

What's my name bitches????

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Ball game.


Who's going to start G1 for the Cards? Reyes?

[Chris]

Mets have one more inning but it looks pretty dismal.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Who starts in Detroit on Saturday if the Cards hold on? Weaver?

God I hope so.

[T Park]

Yadier freakin Molina.

Im speachless.

Watching the ball go over the wall on Game cast was just, wow.

[King]

Who starts in Detroit on Saturday if the Cards hold on? Weaver?

God I hope so.

I'd guess Weaver. Dude's been pretty lights out, though.

[Horry For 3!]

Heilman fucked up

[Horry For 3!]

Tigers >>>>> Cardinals/Mets

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I'd guess Weaver. Dude's been pretty lights out, though.


He's been getting the job done, but he's been hanging quite a few pitches.

Should be interesting...

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Rook looks like he has the Yips...

[mikejones99]

STL world champs due to Pedro injury

[King]

Not liking this one bit.

[Jimcs50]

Put Suppan back in

:depressed

[King]

STL world champs due to Pedro injury

Spurs '03 Champs due to Dirk's rolled ankle and Kobe's bum shoulder. Right?

[ShoogarBear]

I was born only two months earlier.That explains it.

[mikejones99]

fuck off dipshit

[ShoogarBear]

Hey, T Park, you still with us?

[King]

Don't think Kirk Gibson. Don't think Kirk Gibson.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

No bunt? Morons...

[King]

fuck off dipshit

Were you in debate?

[Horry For 3!]

Damn, that pitch was nasty

[King]

He has one of the nastiest curves in the game.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

That pitch was nasty.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Nice way to manage the game Randolph. I still can't believe he didn't bunt them over...

[mikejones99]

Revenge for 68 is coming

[Horry For 3!]

2 outs.....

[King]

Oh man, I thought that was dropping in.

[Horry For 3!]

Lo Duca to bat

[King]

Please don't let Beltran and/or Delgado have a shot at it.

[Horry For 3!]

3-1, walk Lo Duca!

[Horry For 3!]

Fuck yes!


Beltran to bat :smokin

[Horry For 3!]

Beltran must own the Cardinals like he did when he was with the 'Stros

[King]

0-2 - Heat or breaking pitch? I say heat.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Congrats Card Fans.

[mikejones99]

rain in detroit soon

[Horry For 3!]

Fuck you Beltran :flipoff

[Jimcs50]

Who's your daddy???

:smokin

[King]

But I'll take the break!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

That pitch was nasty.

[resistanze]

Nice.

[Horry For 3!]

Tigers >>>> Cardinals


anyways :)

[mikejones99]

$50 million and he chokes

[Horry For 3!]

Heilman blew it, dumbass

[T Park]

ADAM FUCKING WAINWRIGHT



I LVOE THIS FUCKING TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


HELLSL YEAH

I dont care if we lose the WS getting there iS UNREAL WOWOOWOWOW

WHOU WOULDVE FREAKIN THROUGHTTTT

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Rain and snow in the forecast this weekend in the D. Yay.

[King]

ADAM FUCKING WAINWRIGHT



I LVOE THIS FUCKING TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


HELLSL YEAH

I dont care if we lose the WS getting there iS UNREAL WOWOOWOWOW

WHOU WOULDVE FREAKIN THROUGHTTTT

I wouldn't go that far. Losing the WS in '04 sucked pretty badly after a 7 game NLCS. It'd be nice to win it this time.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

The two teams who were playing the worst at the end of the season make the WS. Unreal.

[mikejones99]

gonna be lowest rated series of all time

[T Park]

I wouldn't go that far. Losing the WS in '04 sucked pretty badly after a 7 game NLCS. It'd be nice to win it this time


Dont get freakin greedy.


I mena, to get to the World freakin Series after all theyve gone through this year?!!

THe Injuries, the losing streaks the media riding their asses in STL.


Just AWESOME!!!!

[Texas_Ranger]

good job. :clap :clap

[King]

Dont get freakin greedy.


I mena, to get to the World freakin Series after all theyve gone through this year?!!

THe Injuries, the losing streaks the media riding their asses in STL.


Just AWESOME!!!!

Don't get freaking greedy? Wanting them to win the championship is greedy? Yeah, it's nice that they made it here after almost choking it away in the regular season, and the injuries. But I don't think wanting them to win it all is greedy.

[Budkin]

Congrats to your Cards TPark and other Cards fans here. I can't believe the Mets blew it after coming back to tie the series. Another game 7 heartbreaker for me I guess (following the Spurs). Oh well, there's always next year as they say. Good luck against the Tigers, they look tough. :depressed

[T Park]

Thank you for your class budkin, it will go down, even though no one wants to say it, as one of the best league championship series of all time.

Prob one of the best game 7s in a very very long time.

WOw, im more happy about this Pennant, than 04, because, this team, and Ive beat this horse to death. This team was left for absolute DEAD in the first round. THey have done nothing but leave 100% on the freakin field.

Its not hard at ALL to root for this team in the postseason, this team is soooo freakin cardiac its not even CLOSE.


This game tonight was what playoff baseball is ALL ABOUT!

I mean the drama, the elation after Molina's HR, the UNREAL ELATION after Wainwright TOTALLY froze Beltran.


Adversity? The Cardinals laugh at adversity after this year.

[T Park]

Don't get freaking greedy? Wanting them to win the championship is greedy? Yeah, it's nice that they made it here after almost choking it away in the regular season, and the injuries. But I don't think wanting them to win it all is greedy

What I mean is King, I understand where your coming from, but, this season, doesnt hinge on the World Series now.

I mean, after THIS SEASONNN, COME ON, the injuries, the losing streaks, the setbacks, the bad FA pickups. ALL OF IT!!


I guess im easy to please, but whatever happens in the WS happens
WIN or Lose.

Doesntmatter.

[Budkin]

I've said that to myself before, that I'm happy for my team to just get this far, but losing at the highest level always hurts the worst, because it's so hard to get that far and there are no guarantees about getting back again.

[T Park]

The Mets will be back next year.

They have too good of a lineup, and too good of a rotation, and Im sure they will go out and buy more high powered names in the offseason like they always do, so the Mets will be fine, don't fret.

The Cardinals on the other hand, have ALOT of players to pay, and not a whole hell of alot of money to use.

[Extra Stout]

The Cardinals on the other hand, have ALOT of players to pay, and not a whole hell of alot of money to use.
With Edmonds and Isringhausen bowing out stage left, that's $20 million to play with.

They must resist the urge to overpay Mark Mulder. If he bolts, he bolts.

[T Park]

Id give Mulder an incentive laden contract. If he gets more, adios.

Marquis is GONE, so thats 6 million right there. I know I know, arbitration SUCKS.


So, hopefully the Cards make a legit but safe run at a Jason Schmidt.

Resign Weaver and Suppan.

Keep Wainwright as the closer.

Sign Carp to an extension.

Then if theres time, make a run at Carlos Lee or Soriano :)

[ducks]

Suppan will go to new york
which will suck

[T Park]

Why would New York want him, he chokes. :spin

[ducks]

just like jeter huh

[T Park]

Your the one who made the Suppan is choking thread genius.

[ducks]

he did in the first inning
