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

??? 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."

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.

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

Was that because he made an error?

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.

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.
