I’m currently listening to: Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run - Jungleland
It looks like the Cardinals have all but locked away their World Series. After a lot of soul searching, I’ve come to terms with this. For some reason it still hurts to watch the Cardinals succeed after hurting me for so long (even though my Red Sox won it first). I guess its the knowledge that they are not (even close to being) the best team in baseball. However, I was recently reminded that the champions of baseball are often found in unlikely places. For example, who would have given the Marlins a chance to win the World Series (let alone two)?
Sometimes– although less so than other sports– the series really boils down to which team is hotter at the current moment. Jeff Suppan and Jeff Weaver are not great pitchers, they just happen to be pitching well. While Cardinal fans will never admit that this was a fluke, a statistical anomaly, I (and the other baseball fanatics of the world) understand this. However, we must also remember that just because it wasn’t supposed to happen this way, doesn’t mean that it didn’t, or that it wasn’t magical for the fans of St. Louis. I guess I’ll let them have their celebration. After all, they watched me have mine in 2004.

We won, sucka. Don is going to gloat.
The font is fixed! Yessssssssssss.
Don can gloat all he wants. After all, his team did win the Series. However, there is a reason every expert under the sun picked Detroit. They were the better team, they just didn’t come out to play for some reason. Their loss, your gain.
yay for the font, but… series John… You are way too serious about this :)
Plus, if they were the better team, wouldn’t they have won?
Are you a State Farm employee or not?
No, because for the series that they played, they were not the better team. Teams go through cold and hot streaks, and the Tigers were about as cold as you could get for those five games.
As for my employment, I’ll give you an update later.
JD your just upset that your beloved Redsox couldn’t make it to the big game. There was a reason the other teams didnt win, they couldn’t get there. BOOOO YAAAA!!! EAT IT JD EAT IT!!! YOU KNOW YOU LOVE IT!
I stand by my previous statements. The Cardinals were in no way the best team (or even one of the top five) teams last year.
