Shocking news: The New York market brings in higher ratings than Milwaukee.

[neoemonk]

So The Cards are winning back to back rings.

This would be the worst thing.

 

[Mastodonkey]

would love to see the cards repeat.. tigers just blah.. don't really care for anybody on that team.

I think cards will take world series in 5

 

[Mr. Enigma]

If the Tigers and Cardinals face each other, there will be only 6 players remaining on both teams that played in the 2006 World Series.

STL:
-- Chris Carpenter
-- Yadier Molina
-- Adam Wainwright

DET:
-- Omar Infante
-- Ramon Santiago
-- Justin Verlander

Jim Leyland managed the Tigers in 2006.

Of course, Infante found his way back to the Tigers after being traded to the Cubs after the 2007 season. The Cubs immediately traded him to the Braves. The Braves traded him to the Marlins after 2010 in the Dan Uggla trade. Right before the deadline, the Marlins traded him back to the Tigers.

Also, if the Tigers win the World Series, Brandon Inge will get a ring because he opened the season on Detroit's 40-man roster before being released on April 26. He was also on the 2006 Tigers team.

These were the starting lineups for Game 1 of the 2006 World Series:

STL:
1. David Eckstein - SS
2. Chris Duncan - DH
3. Albert Pujols - 1B
4. Jim Edmonds - CF
5. Scott Rolen - 3B
6. Juan Encarnacion - RF
7. Ronnie Belliard - 2B
8. Yadier Molina - C
9. So Taguchi - LF
SP - Anthony Reyes

BENCH:
-- Aaron Miles
-- John Rodriguez
-- Scott Spiezio
-- Preston Wilson

DET:
1. Curtis Granderson - CF
2. Craig Monroe - LF
3. Placido Polanco - 2B
4. Magglio Ordonez - RF
5. Carlos Guillen - 1B
6. Ivan Rodriguez - C
7. Sean Casey - DH
8. Brandon Inge - 3B
9. Ramon Santiago - SS
SP - Justin Verlander

BENCH:
-- Alexis Gomez
-- Omar Infante
-- Neifi Perez
-- Marcus Thames

These were the pitchers used in the series:

STL:
-- Chris Carpenter
-- Randy Flores
-- Tyler Johnson
-- Josh Kinney
-- Braden Looper
-- Anthony Reyes
-- Jeff Suppan
-- Brad Thompson
-- Adam Wainwright
-- Jeff Weaver

DET:
-- Jeremy Bonderman
-- Jason Grilli
-- Todd Jones
-- Wil Ledezma
-- Zach Miner
-- Nate Robertson
-- Fernando Rodney
-- Kenny Rogers
-- Justin Verlander

I hope the Tigres win because fuck the NL and their owner deserves it

The MLB has to fix this joke of a playoff schedule next year though

LDS will be back to 2-2-1 next year

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

LDS will be back to 2-2-1 next year

Maybe Selig will say all games went 5 keep 2-3.

 

[Red_taiyaki]

And on the fifth game, MLB said, "thou shalt have Rally Zito!"

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Rooting for the tigers because I can't stand Cardinals and fuck the Giants ownership for what they are doing to my people. Also want Inge to get a ring for what he did for us. Love you brah.

 

[Sanjuro]

Bring back Kenny Rogers.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Red Sox hitting coach Dave Magadan has informed the team he will not be returning. He is taking the job of hitting coach with the Rangers.

Oh the memories of 06, there are one or two other players also who were on the teams, just didn't play in the World Series, Skip Schumaker is one of them.

 

[talisayNon]

Lets go Tigres! fuck the Giants and the Cards

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Bring back Kenny Rogers.

Make sure there's enough pine tar to go around first.

 

[Flo_Evans]

I predict we will lose tonight just to keep it interesting.

 

[Mrbob]

So The Cards are winning back to back rings.

No way. Earth implosion will happen first! Who knew when the Mayans did their calendar the Cardinals would be the harbinger to the end of the world.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Today, we are all Giants fans.

 

[Sanjuro]

A documentary about Giants fans and Starbucks. Priceless.

 

[weekend_warrior]

I'd high-five Brian Wilson.

 

[Sanjuro]

I'd high-five Brian Wilson.

When I had my beard everyone kept calling me that.

Red Sox hitting coach Dave Magadan has informed the team he will not be returning. He is taking the job of hitting coach with the Rangers.

Rangers old hitting coach Scott Coolbaugh will still have another job within the Rangers organization.

 

[Sanjuro]

MLB Glee tie-in...

 

[Sanjuro]

Why does John Farrell get dicks hard?

Just hire Ausmus, damnit. He is a HoF'er.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Beltran is starting; I hope he isn't rushing back - Carpenter has been fine filling in but we need both players healthy if we play in Detroit next week.

Zito vs bullpen game coming up!

 

[lazybones18]

27 outs away from a 2006 Rematch or a Game 6.....

 

[bozeman]

Hope this game is well in hand before I have to leave in 2 hours.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Why does it seem like everytime I watch the Cards either Lynn or Motte is pitching?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Beltran is starting; I hope he isn't rushing back - Carpenter has been fine filling in but we need both players healthy if we play in Detroit next week.

Zito vs bullpen game coming up!

Everything I read said Beltran probably could have played Game 4 if the Cardinals were down. But with a 2-1 lead, they felt fine giving him another day.

 

[CygnusXS]

I cannot listen to FOX fellate the Cardinals anymore. This is too much.

 

[bozeman]

Damn Holliday

 

[RobotHaus]

I have to admit, that was a nice display of athleticism by Sandoval.

 

[MechaX]

When a fire is under his ass, Sandoval can move.

 

[Windu]

Zito scoreless through 1? impossible.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I cannot listen to FOX fellate the Cardinals anymore. This is too much.

What if Erin Andrews fellated the Cardinals?

 

[bigosc2k]

Aw fuck Lance Lynn is on fire

 

[Flo_Evans]

I cannot listen to FOX fellate the Cardinals anymore. This is too much.

It's joe Buck, he is from St. Louis.

 

[cashman]

Congratulations on your NL pennant Cardinals.

 

[The Mana Legend]

Goddammit Pence, YOU SUCK WHY ARE YOU HERE

Announcer says the ball is uncatchable. Replay shows it hit the bottom of his glove.

 

[RobotHaus]

It's joe Buck, he is from St. Louis.

And he was a commentator for them and other St. Louis teams for a while, plus his father was the voice of the Cardinals for a very long time.

But we all know Joe is really rooting for more opportunities to plug sponsors.

 

[lazybones18]

Lynn is gonna score a run

edit: way to prove me wrong you dick

 

[The Mana Legend]

Lynn is gonna score a run

HA HA, YOU SUCK

Zito scoreless through 2.

 

[VRMN]

Barry Zito got out of a 2nd and 3rd, no one out jam without allowing a run? Is this real life?

 

[bozeman]

Aw, Lynn should have stood there with the bat on his shoulders.

 

[Jack Scofield]

Nice play.

 

[Windu]

2 scoreless? the giants should pick up a lottery ticket.
