"With these idiots we got..."
Posted by pete at October 27, 2006 10:30 PMEven without much assistance from Pujols, the Cards found a way. 10 World Series titles...La Russa joins Sparky Anderson as the 2nd manager to win a title in both leagues...the Cards win it all at home, in spite of coming into the Series with the second worst record of any pennant winner in history...Eckstein is MVP. Goddamn, I wish I was up their with my uncles and cousins celebrating this:
Give it up for our pitchers, who nobody (including the author of this blog) thought could pull it together. Weaver, Carpenter, and Reyes had great starts, and maybe the loss of a 10 blown save closer doesn't hurt so much with the ascension of Adam Wainwright. Yadier Molina was also an unlikely powerhouse.
I already called my dad ("Raybob" to those of you who read my blog regularly), time to have a couple (more) drinks and get ready to order the 2006 Championship DVD. I'm sure many of you thought St. Louis was unworthy of representing the National League, and maybe if your team (*cough* Astros *cough*) had played better your opinion would count for something.
And now that it's over...fuck you Kenny Rogers, you cheating sonofabitch.
Go Cards!
You know, I bet those rings are sour anyway.
No, I'm just kidding. I'm happy for you and the Cards, despite all I've said here. They played their hearts out and won, and that's what the Series is supposed to be all about. Plus, it's always nice to see the American League lose.
Anyway, congratz to you and St. Louis.
As a Cubs fan, it pains me to say so. But congrats on the Cards winning it....
Congrats, Pete, that's cool that your team won. Edmonds is one of my favorite players and it's nice to see him get a ring. Well said about Kenny Rogers there... must be a joke here somewhere about "The Gambler" and cheating and the Cards, but I'm not clever enough by half to put it all together. Enjoy the moment!
