WS game 5 thread. Cards go for the championship with BRC in the house - Page 12

**BigRedChief** · 07:48 AM

I've been to a Super Bowl. If my beloved Chiefs ever make it to the Super Bowl I'll probably watch the game on TV with buddies and family over seeing the game live.

I seem to remember about 21 years ago being up 3-1 against some blue team from the west and they came back and kicked our butts. But this ain't 1985. This is a different team.

No one expected this. Even the most hard core Cardinal fan never expected this deep of a run in the playoffs. I know a lot of you here hate the Cardinals or and St. Louis. Just take a moment and a few deep breaths.

How often in life do we get a chance to see our teams win a championship live? With a lot of luck on my side I find myself and my son with tickets to see my team play for the World Series title. I hope Karma is on my side and my son and I get to share a moment that will last long after I'm worm food.

Duncan runs like he has a clubbed foot and battled polio as a child.

Don't forget Chris Duncan, he of the three errors in about 10 chances this postseason.

I would pinch hit here.

First opportunity in 24 years and you have a first baseman playing RF in the 6th inning with a lead. He's never been a good fielder out there. What's he supposed to do, say no, I won't go out there? That's squarely on LaRussa. Duncan's not a good fielder, everybody knows it, he's not out there to be a good fielder, he's out there for his bat. He hasn't played much RF to begin with. If you hit Eckstein cleanup and he didn't drive in any runs, you wouldn't be surprised, because that's not playing to his strengths.

I don't really feel all that high on Hancock or Thompson right now. I say let Weaver take care of the bottom and just turn the order over.

Surely, a first baseman catches a routine pop-up once or twice a year

Wow, that was a great play by Pujols. Web gem.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-27-2006, 08:26 PM

PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUJOLS

And THAT'S Why he's a GG 1B

Frazod · 10-27-2006, 08:26 PM

OMG what a play!

6 outs to go.

Looks like the Tigers team who lost 120 games a fews years back showed up for this series. They look bad...not as bad as Chris Duncan bad but still bad.

Frazod · 10-27-2006, 08:31 PM

A couple/few insurance runs would be very nice right about now.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-27-2006, 08:31 PM

Jeff Weaver, you're a Cardinal for life in my book.
