2006 World Series(Cards, Tigers) Thread

[hawing]

Wow, Tigers are on the verge of imploding here.

 

...but they held it together. That was kind of Breweresque.

 

Good thing for FOX, as I would have stopped watching the WS had St. Louis come back. (And I know FOX is quaking in its shoes to hear that.)

i am a tiger man but can these two teams be any more evenly matched.. and managed

[RedbirdRay]

A lot of StL fans think TLR gave his good buddy Leyland quite a break by not having Rogers formally inspected on the mound. I am really baffled about it. TLR has never been shy about accusing ppl of cheating and having bats/gloves/hats etc inspected. Seems he rolled over for his buddy.

 

It would have been huge to have the bullpen in the game from the second inning on for Detroit and have KR lost for his future start.

When I first turned on the game (a bit late) and heard "pine tar" I frankly assumed Tony had already complained.

[RightFieldCoder]

Bottom of 7th, no one out. They should bunt with two on and Pujols up.

[parkside21]

Just switched over from the Clemson / Virginia Tech game to see Detroit imploding before our very eyes. How quaint.

[hawing]

This is not reducing my long-held ill will for STL and Cardinal Nation.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

listening to tim mccarver is like fingernails on a chalkboard

[burniebrewer]

Ugh. 3-1 STL.

 

Cards are gonna win this Series and that's not cool with me.

 

To make it worse, Eckstein gets player of the game.

 

Double-ugh.

[Team Canada]

burglefickle.

[saget]

I think that was the cheapest 4-5 you'll ever see.

 

God I hate Eckstein

[adamb100]

If the cards are gonna win this, at least make it close. If the cards really have to win, give game 5 to the Tigers and win it in game 6.

[PeaveyFury]

So who is going to be MVP of this mediocre, boring World Series?

 

No one really jumps out there.

[pogokat]

i havent checked in here til right now, because i suspected this...

 

but i'm glad the cards are gonna win this...i just dont like detroit...and as much as everyone hates eckstein...he might be my favorite non brewer...

 

anyway, i feel weird because of this..

[adamb100]

And that folks marks the end of baseball til 07.

 

Cardinals - 2006 World Series Champs.

[Team Canada]

What a horrible series.

 

I love the sign that one fan had that read "Hit it to the pitcher".

 

 

And Duncan sure is a butcher.

 

Yuck.

[PeaveyFury]

Allright! Time to start the offseason and Milwaukee's road to the 2007 World Series.

[pogokat]

not a terribly exciting playoffs this year...

[adamb100]

I expect to see navy blue at the world series next year.

2006 World Series Champions: St. Louis Cardinals

 

They're really not even a very good team. I'm insanely jealous right now.

[bjkrautk]

And, for the second year in a row...

 

...a starting pitcher the Yankess cast away has come up huge in the World Series.

[hawing]

Allright! Time to start the offseason and Milwaukee's road to the 2007 World Series.

 

I'm with Peavey on this.

1957: World Series championship in Milwaukee.

1982 (25 years later): AL championship in Milwaukee.

Add another 25 years and you have 2007.

[endaround]

So I just threw up a little bit in my mouth...

 

Has any other team won the World Series while being this bad?

[whizkid]

The Cards didn't have a good record but when healthy they are a good team. If the Brewers ever win a world series I doubt anyone here will complain about the circumstances.

 

It's always a good series when the right team wins. In fact the entire playoffs were good considering only the As/Twins went the wrong way for me. Didn't care about the Dodgers/Mets as long as the Cards beat the winner. Congrats to RedBird Ray.

[hawing]

Congrats to RedBird Ray.

 

Indeed. I was thinking of him too.
