masterrig 1 #26 October 18, 2005 QuoteQuoteIts the Cub's curse. We trade them, they go to another team and suddenly remember how to play ball! kinda neat to see the red sox win last year, wonder if it'll be the white's this year... ____________________________________________ If the Stros pull this one out, I of course, want to see them beat the Sox. If, the Cards win, I hope the Sox wail the shit outa the Cards! Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #27 October 18, 2005 It was an incredible shot. I was somewhat surprized they pitched to him, and I'm more of a "streaks are meant to be broken" kind of guy (as opposed to a "ride the streak"). Still, that was freaking clutch. I was listening to the game in my truck, and I don't really care who wins this series as I kinda like both team. With that in mind, I was yelling on the crack before the announcer even had time to explain what was happening. I got goosebumps, pounded on my steering wheel, and swerved all over the road for a second...just from a radio call of a game that I'm pretty much ambivalent on. Clutch performances and heartbreaking lapses both dig pretty damn deep at us. In the 9th inning last night, we got both at the same time As all the talking heads are saying today, that hit will live on for quite some time...longer if the Cards win 2 more. With Oswalt going against Mulder tomorrow night, you have to like the Astro's chances. Momentum switches be damned, the chip from last night and the favorable match-up (with Clemens to follow) says Houston is still bound for the classic and the Pujols jack becomes an interesting footnote, albeit one almost every kid has dreamed of hitting.

Blues, Dave ____________________________________ I have to agree. Like Pujols or not, that, was a helluva hit. Cards fans are going to talk about that hit for a long time, like you said. My money is still, on the 'stros. I've been a 'stros fan, since they moved into the Astrodome and changed names. There for awhile, it looked like 'Cardinal melt-down'. Then, Pujols (that bastard) slaps one in the cheap seats. Shee-it! Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

murrays 0 #39 October 18, 2005 When Eckstein came up I said to my 6 year old..."He's a pesky tough out" ...and he hits a seeing eye single on an 0-2 count...good pitch by Lidge, good hitting by Eckstein. Then, when he was pitching to Edmunds, I said to my little guy "we've got to end this here, we don't want Pujols coming up with 2 men on"....and Lidge walked him. Well, you know the rest. Sure was disappointed for Biggio and the other Astros who I'd like to see play in the WS before they retire. But, I still like their chances with Oswalt and Clemens (if needed). Here's hoping they can pull together and win it on Wednesday.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallinWoman 1 #40 October 18, 2005 Quotesinker you keep jumping up an down about Pujhols. He's an egotistical asshole. A lot of the Cards players are just like him. If you knew the players on the Astros you wouldn't find any of them out there for themselves. They're out there for the team. There is a big difference in those teams. What the hell are you talking about? The Cardinals are not egotistical assholes. They are a group of guys who have come together and won 100 + games two years in a row. Jim Edmonds....yeah...he can be a jerk....the others...I don't think so. I am not going to compare them to the Astros, because I do not know enough about those guys. All I know is that I can't think of anyone other than Edmonds who is big headed on the Cardinals. ~Anne I'm a Doll!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure you won't be gloating in this thread come Thurday morning. What the fuck do you know about the cardinals and there Ego's? Do you see them interviewed on a daily basis? Do you see them at the various charities around town? Do you know that Pujols actualy LIVES in St.Louis? His daughter is in my wifes school district. An egocentric player would definately NOT put his kid in public school. He is a normal person with one hell of a talent. I am NOT a cardinals fan....I am a die hard born and bleeding blue Cubs fan. BUT this is a great baseball town...Where even Roger Clemens gets a standing ovation when he pitches here. This town recognizes great acomplishments and players....They don't boo or bitch they just enjoy this great game of baseball. Instead of saying what a spectactular hit...you can't even acknowledge that the great Lidge put a hanging sinker right over the plate for Number 5 to clobber. And clobber he did. Jim Edmonds is an asshole...but the rest of this cardinals team...the team that beat the Astro's in seven games last year are not egocentric players. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

His fastball clocks at a hundred, his slider can't be hit And Redbird fans do cry and swoon, as his warm ups hit the mitt. The Stroville faithful dance and scream, as one they raise their cheer Their closer need but three outs, for this to be their year. The first two batters took their cuts, but Lidge just mowed them down And the building rocked and strangers kissed, in anticipation of the crown. But one more out was needed, and the top of the order now due As Eckstein walked up to bat, the fevered pitch just grew and grew. Lidge pounded Eckstein with two strikes, he had his good control. Then out of nowhere something happened; Ecky swung and found a hole. He took second without a play; all that mattered was at the dish "One more out" the fans cried out, only this their prayer and wish. Jimmy Edmonds now dug in deep, his jaw was clinched and tight And an edge crept into the stands; for they sensed they had a fight. But Lidge glared in and took the sign, his stuff was such a lock His pitches flew till the count went full; Jimmy finally coaxed a walk. Eighty thousand eyes looked on deck, and there saw a famous number For Pujols, mighty Pujols, stood there ready with his lumber. He strode easily to the plate, and clenched his mighty fist The first pitch flew and broke away; Mighty Pujols swung and missed. And now Lidge gets the sign and now he winds and lets it go Oh how the cheers are shattered, by the force of Pujols blow.
