2011 World Series

[Brando]

Can't believe there is not a post about the World Series yet. I'm a huge STL Cardinals fan. Can't believe my team is in the position to win a championship.
Just months ago chances of even reaching the postseason were dire.

Probably going to be an offense dominated series and just hope we can score more runs than the TX Rangers.

Who do you have your money on?

I voted for the Rangers.. Only because I want to see Pujols on the market.. If St. Louis wins, that won't happen.

Full disclosure, I'm a diehard yankees fan.

I'll have to go with my Cards...I have been a Card's fan since the early to mid 60's. I still remember my dad taking me to the old Busch stadium and seeing the Cardinals play. Those were the days... Bob Gibson pitching and Lou Brock stealing bases.

Now, if I was a betting man. I would have to go with the Rangers. On paper they are the better team, but on paper the Phillies and the Brewers were suppose to be the better teams......that is why you play the games.

GO CARDS!!

Cardinal fan from way back. I don't know what I like better listening to the play by play over the radio or watching it on the TV.

I downloaded the mlb app on my droid for a buck. Lets you listen to mike shannon on kmox. Then you can turn the tv on mute. That's hoping the call and video are synced though.

This truely has been a great season for baseball since the start of September. The comebacks of the Rays and the Cards. The downfall of the Redsox and the Braves.

I like listening to Shannon and Hrabosky. They give a good inside look at the game from the players side. Trivia...the person who hit the last home run in Sportsman Park and the first in (old) Busch Stadium...Mike Shannon.

Even if the Cards win it, It is highly unlikely that they will be able to afford keeping Albert. More than likely he will end up at a one of the large market cities.

This is why baseball is a broken sport and is nose diving in popularity across the country. Pujols should retire a Cardinal and it stinks if that doesn't happen.

Teams like the Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, etc are ruining the sport imo. I used to be a big baseball fan when I was a kid, but people my age (35 and under) just dont care about it anymore. Its sad really, Americas past time is now Americas after thought.

Who would think 15 years ago that a Friday night college football game between Boise State and Fresno State would draw better numbers than the the ALCS across the entire country.

But football, college bball, and hockey are on so I am a happy sports fan.

I'd like the Cardinals to win it, but the Rangers look pretty tough. I'm going to go with reality and vote for the Rangers. I'll be pulling for the Cardinals though!

I also agree that big market teams are ruining baseball. However, it makes me smile when all those millions and millions of dollars they overpay players don't get them further than the division series.

Cubs, Red Sox, Phillies, and Yankees can keep paying for egos and bad decisions.

Rays will keep doing what they do to the East with what? a fifth of the salary?

Um... The Yankees have 27 world championships.. I assume that they will take your blessing and keep doing what they're doing.. It seems to work.

I voted for the Rangers. Carpenter acts like a little girl every time he pitches.

Does he try to steal peoples' guns from their holsters?

huh?

No he yells at his teammates, throw tantrums when he doesn't get calls, and blames the mounds or dust in the air for him not pitching well.

I'm thinking that the Cards havethe third higest payroll as it is behind Boston and the Yankees.
