That stadium is packed.
Yeah, well, the team hadn't been to a WS in 14 years and hadn't won it in 19 yrs at the time. I think they had every right to do so..
You know that Tony LaRussa and Walt Jocketty didn't take over in 1983 or 1988, right?
That was the Herzog era, we're talking about the LaRussa era now. The fact of the matter is is that LaRussa had more chances to get to the WS and possibly win it than Herzog's teams did.

Didn't we all have this argument over on CT about 1000 times back in the day?

All the more reason not to do it now.

Centreville, I was joking and meant no offense. As I have offended you, I apologize.

I don't understand why you brought up 14 and 19 here. It seemed then and it still seems now to me the whole Faction bit was more an emotional response to the odd structure of baseball than an intelligent criticism of LaRussa and Jocketty.

The beauty of spring training games... When they're good you can enjoy them and when they're bad you can be thankful it doesn't count.

It's nice watching stress free baseball for awhile.
