Yeah why do I feel a 2004 vs Boston coming on? Everyone rooting for the other team, and everything going wrong for the Cardinals

[sjgoten6]

Don't understand the Cardinals fan fretting. It's OK if they don't make it to the NLCS for the fifth year in a row. The world won't end.

??? The Cardinals won one World Series and went to another in the last five years in my world. Did I fall into an alternate universe?

Yeah I don't think his statement is worded right. I think he meant to say "it's ok if they don't make it to the NLCS for the first time in 5 years."

[jagtrader]

Yes, worded poorly. Trying to do too many things at once. Bottom line is you're not supposed to reach the LCS every season. If it doesn't happen, I won't be jumping off a bridge.

EXCEPT - in 2004 everything was going right right up until the first pitch of the World Series. This year, not so much. Maybe we can turn on a dime in the right direction this year. My God, I hope so.

Only good thing about facing the Cubs is that the games in Chicago should be in primetime.

[Jocephus]

Maybe if you tell me the *bad* news in a *good* way, it wouldn't sound so bad.

[Cronos]

[sjgoten6]

Was that because he made an error?

[33anda3rd]

Hilarious, but par for the course. Rodriguez was due for a call-up when he was a Ray and broke his hand punching a locker.

He's a dumbass.

[UK]

Eh, good luck.

To the team I dislike out of mainly jealousy.

I am looking forward to my 1st Cubs /Cards playoff game on Saturday.
