This sucks (i.e. Game 2 Thread)

[Karl Stall]

So, here's my take:

The Cards need pitching to hold the game so that our hitters can hit; the combination of our pitchers pitching the way they closed out the season (poorly) with our "band of Sluggers" not getting the clutch hit better change, or we''ll be relegated to savoring our winning the NL Pennant, but not the true prize.

I'll be at the next three games - maybe I'll get some pics if we win one someday

sweet, enjoy a dog and a beer for me!
that sounds awesome!
Your pix from the Alaskan fishing trip looked fun

8 errors in 2 games, our boys are doing all they can to help you.

all you need is hitting and/or pitching and you may win one of these.

[TJ.Brk]

It aint over till it's over Karl. The redbirds will come back. This series is going all 7 games in my opinion.

How did you manage to get tickets for 3 games? Did you sell your first born?

[Karl Stall]

I work for a guy who is related to one of the 12 owners of the team - he called me before the playoffs with an opportunity where I could get one seat for every playoff game for $700 - section 252 Loge Reserved behind home plate. You get refunded for any unused tickets.

At the time, a lot of my other friends balked at the proposition, but now guess who's calling me every day looking for extras. As an investment, I guess I could sell them for a lot of money, but I am planning to go and try to help the boys get back into it. It's a lot of beer to drink.

I'm going Tuesday mang! We got seats in 316 (nosebleeds) on Ebay. I will be trying really, really hard to get on TV. Keep your eyes peeled for one of these:

This is another lady I know named Judy Molloy. She is probably the most hardcore Cardinal fan I know. She gets the entire section all fired up with her crazy stunts. I've seen her stand the entire time someone is at the plate hitting. And I'm talking not even sitting down between pitches. Your crazy Judy! Go Section 250!http://www.baseballsbestfans.com/hardcorelady.gif

omg! standing up for an entire at bat!! that is hardcore, and a 'crazy stunt.' possibly the crazyest stunt possible!!!!!!!!!

Have you ever seen a better and wackier mascot than FREDBIRD?!?!? No way. Fredbird RULES!!! And his name rhymes with "Redbird" which is slang for our team. Sometimes we'll mix things up a little and refer to our team as the "Redbirds." Don't be confused. That's just our wacky side!

this stuff is totally killing me. you wacky redbirds, stop confusing me. haha.

i can't stop laughing

this kid must be so sad this morning.

edit: he's not a kid, he's my age. now i feel bad for him.

[CantDog]

Do they allow black people in fenway?

I'm not sure if he's trying to be funny, or if he's just a molecular bio phD and really naive.

[basom]

Do they allow black people in fenway?

yeah cant, this blew me away too. this stuff can't be real.

[mildbill.]

Do they allow black people in fenway?

did you have trouble getting in?

[CantDog]

did you have trouble getting in?

I think it was the long hair.

[gonzo]

that is hilarious. i really doubt it is real though. it just can't be.

[basom]

you think a sox fan spent the time to put that together????

i just emailed him to see if he's sad.

jstephen28@wustl.edu

[gonzo]

i wouldn't be surprised.

oh man karl is going to be pissed when he sees this! we might even get a golf clap...or a short standing O! jeepers!

[basom]

i just sent him this email: i just wanted to know if you were still feeling confident about the cardinals winning this series in five games? because of your website i bet my savings on the redbirds to win. if they don't i'm in trouoble. so i am nervous, but if you still think they are better than the other guys, and are still going to win in five, then i will feel better about it all. please let me know your feelings.

[13]

Ha! You guys are too much.

[iceman]

If that's not a spoof I'm scared.

[Karl Stall]

That's funny and I haven't even looked at the links yet. Us midwestern folk are just simple people now, ya know?

Gonz, you want to pre-game it a bit?

I'll pm you if your box isn't full as always.

[DaveTV]

I do believe that ol' Teddy Ballgame is upstairs in the big man's private suite watching this series..

Wow. That was one of the funniest web sites I have ever seen. I like how he said the Cards have better pitching then the Sox. Riiiiggght. And his camparison between Puljols and Millar. He is one of the best baseball fans in the country and he hasn't heard of a guy who hit .300 on one of the best teams in the game. Hillairious. I really wonder what this guy is like in person.

Go Sox!
