It could be worse! You could be a Redbird's Fan!

Hey, look on the bright side. Maybe the Cards will finally get people off the backs of the '69 Cubs!

Forget about the '69 Cubs. The Cards are chasing the ultimate collapse, the 1964 Phillies of Gene Mauch.

I read an article on the pitchers that Houston is going to throw out the next 4 games. I said, "WOW!" I then realized who the Cardinals are going to put on the mound. I said, "OH $%^&!" Ironically, 64 the frist great collaspe and what was the name of that team that overtook the 64 Phillies?

Go STROS!!!!!

Bye Bye STROS!

BYE BYE ChiSox!

Glove Man, seeing that Twins Avatar was sooooo funny. Your Astros put up a fantastic run. In fact, it isn't new news that they were playing their best baseball late in the year. I know as a Cardinals fan, I was seriously worried that the "collaspe" was going to be of historic proportions. Smoltz is very good and in the end, it came down to that last game. Good luck again next year when this division perplexes us all.

Frank Thomas....White Sox missing ingredient, future 1st ballott Hall of Famer and winner of today's first game.

Go A's!

Even with the "missing ingredient" the White Sox wouldn't have been able to make a cake.

Soxnole,

Missing ingredient? Actually the Sox needed both Thome and Thomas. Thome hit in the first half of the season and Thomas heated up in the second half. Together they would have made one great DH. If they had a footrace would there be a winner? LOL.

Gimmeeabreak Glove Man.

The sox baked 91 victories in the toughest division in baseball.

They played in the AL.

They did not show up the last 2 weeks but a team can't finish 30-3 every year!

The last 2 weeks wouldn't have mattered if they hadn't played under .500 since the All Star break.

...and did I mention that the Cardinals made the playoffs?

SHEEEESH!

Soxnole..

I'm surprised a winner like you would take credit for finishing 3rd in anything. The sox had 90 wins and were bad for a lot more than the last two weeks. 28-30 August 1st til the end of the season.

Doesn't matter how you do it, just win baby.....The A's didn't look like the 75 or 76 Reds all year, but they are going to win it all this year.

90 victories or not, they are still watching the playoffs from the comforts of thier own bedrooms.

Just like 22 other teams.

Gloveman,

Why don't you take your bs back to Texas. You can cheer for T.O. and the rest of the winners in your state. Why does the Illinois sight attract all the goof balls?

Just so that you know the geography of TX, I'm from houston, no cheering for TO here, hell he's the only player that I want to get hurt.

I like IL, Chicago to be exact.... Giordano's rocks!

Did you mean winners or whiners?

GloveMan,

IMO, you're more than welcome on this board. As for our site attracting all the goof balls I beg to differ. I think we have more than enough home grown goof balls (myself included) that to include some out of state goof balls adds some diversity to our site!

GLOVE MAN IS ONE OF THE NICEST POSTERS ON THIS SITE. (even if he's an Astros fan.) He also knows more than a thing or two about baseball. Of course he could drive some people "batty." He'll get a chuckle out of that! Glove Man, HOW BOUT THOSE REDBIRDS? Ok so I'm rubbing salt into that wound. I apologize!

What is wrong with the Redbirds?

TRHit, the premise of this thread when I created it was that each night it was a new agony as the Redbirds nearly collapsed before making the playoffs. That 7 run lead turned into one and it was so hard to watch. Remember all of the media was predicting the "GREATEST COLLASPE IN THE HISTORY OF SPORT." Remember they even showed that guy that lost the British Open when he went into that ditch. That was the magnitude of gloom facing the Redbird Nation. Thank goodness they made the playoffs.

Thanks Rosy...

Most of the time (not all of the time...) I'm the biggest goofball of all, I don't know hwta I'd do if I got kicked out of the Illinois Forum.

I think the sox not making the playoffs mad e a few people a little touchy around here.

Sorry if I seem touchy, you might be right, However, I don't remember all the experts/vultures being so vocal last october.
Just get a little tired of the negative bs, but it is overall an excellent sight.
