I'm rooting for the Cradinals to win just to say I told you so.
Since the advent of the misguided playoff system in the 90's, the best team rarely wins.
5th best team in their own league is 3 wins away from being world champs, lol. What a joke.

Last I checked you said the AL team would crush the NL team. Don't see how you can be saying I told you so to anything. I guess if you say enough though you will always be able to say I told you so about something.

Who ever said anything about the best team winning the World Series?

It's 4 of 7 and that's just one game above .500 when it counts the most.

Let the best slightly above average team prevail.

GO CARDS !!!

I am torn on this World Series. My nephew (who is 6) plays on a ballteam named the Cardinals and I like Carpenter as a pitcher (and since his team likes to not score any runs when he pitches AWESOME, I think he deserves it).

BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, Sean Casey helped coach my nephew's T-ball team last year after his season. My nephew now has a beautiful swing for a six year old. I am not being bias either. His coaches even say so. So Sean has a spot in my heart so I would like to see him win it.

So either way, I think I will be happy.

How do you figure fifth best team? Only the Yanks and Twins had more wins in the AL, only the Mets in the NL.

Then the Cardinals? Are you kidding me?
In the NL:
Mets 97 wins
Padres 88wins
Dodgers 88 wins
Phillies 85 wins
Cardinals 83 wins

They were 5th best in their own league.

In the AL there were EIGHT TEAMS with more wins than the Cards.
So the team that was 13th best in regular season play is now 3 wins away from the trophy.
You telling me there isn't anything wrong with that?

And yeah, I'm rooting for the Cards. I hate cheaters. USC got theirs last year when Vinnie hugged the mascot and Pete carroll had a nervous breakdown on tv.
I just can't bear the thought of Rogers getting a ring now.
I will be rooting for the redbirds tonight.

I dont think Carpenter is up to the challenge of the Tigers...he just hasn't been his best except for his last start. It's supposed to be another nite in high 30's-low 40's. Robertson will have to be on top of his pitches,as he hasn't pitched since 10/1. Big-O: I pm'ed you last week,send me something back,huh?

You hate cheaters. Hmmm. Dutrow is the cleanest guy in the game. Usually the people that go around telling people how they hate cheaters or tell us all how honest they are, are usually the biggest frauds out there.

Sounds to me like you are trying to cover your ass after you told us forever the AL team would crush any NL team.

I don't have a brother, but Dutrow did get caught cheating, and it is no secret he is able to get a few lengths out of a horse after a claim. I wonder how. Must be good vitamins. lol.

They all cheat though, not just him. That is why I find it funny that Oracles says he hates cheaters. This sport is full of them, most of them the most successful trainers.
