FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

Mets just lost.

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. That is bad - but it really depends on who they lost to. Who were they

playing?

I just hope it wasn't a shit team. That's embarrassing.

[bigwillq]

4. St. Louis Cardinals (nt)

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Eww.. it was to a shit team, then. How very sad!

I'm a Yankees guy myself, but the Mets come second!

If they'd lost to a team from a nice city, that's one thing - but to lose to a team from a shitty, disgusting nothing city? That's embarrassing.

:grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr:

[GOPisEvil]

11. Hey!!! Stuff that bullshit!!!!

Some of us actually, ya know, LIKE that shit team.

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. And that's okay! It brings you no dishonor for me to dis the team.

I do not dis you!

[GOPisEvil]

15. Well, it makes no difference that it's not the city I care that you slam.

Hell, my people are not from St. Louis. We're FIBs (Downstate Variety). ;)

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Funny about the 'shit team'

They won.

[ComerPerro]

19. They also had a worse regular season record

than Eight AL teams and Four other NL Teams


They played in a weak division.

Then again, the entire NL was weak.

Only six teams in the AL had fewer wins than the 4 NL Playoff teams.

[alcibiades_mystery]

22. But only one team in the AL had the a record equal to one NL

playoff team...

[ComerPerro]

23. an extremely weak division, I might add

only the NL Central was worse.

[alcibiades_mystery]

38. I got to watch my squad in October

Deplketed as it was.

You didn't.

End of story.

[ComerPerro]

39. and it only cost $194 million

talk about getting your money's worth...

I'd expect a World Series victory every year if my team spent at least twice as much on players as just about every other team

[alcibiades_mystery]

46. Met fan here

:shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. That would matter only

if baseball were still in the no-divisions format.

[ComerPerro]

25. I know it doesn't matter. I am just tired of media people here in KC

calling them "The best team in Baseball" just because they can beat up on the Royals.


I would think the best team in baseball could manage to win 90 games in such a soft division

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. 'The best' in anything is quite subjective

That's why we have championships instead of judging or voting.

Frequently, the best team doesn't win. But the winner wins, and there's nothing subjective about that.

[ComerPerro]

31. too true, too true

Can't deny playoff success...

[liberaltrucker]

16. Y'all New Yawkers are soooooo.....

full of yourselves. That's a good thing........usually.

GO TIGERS!!!!!!


:hi:

[alcibiades_mystery]

20. It's because we're better than you

:shrug:

;-)

[Captain Hilts]

28. Cardinals are now Purina Tiger Chow. Don't let children watch. nt

[WildEyedLiberal]

35. A "shitty, disgusting, nothing city"?

I'm a downstate Illinois Cardinals fan, but is that really necessary? I find St. Louis to be much more charming and hospitible than Chicago - with much less arrogant baseball fans, to boot. Yes, I'm friends with plenty of Cubs fans, and they're fine people, but when it comes to baseball, how can fans of such a consistently shitty team be so full of themselves?

[ComerPerro]

87. St. Louis is a nice city. Just stay west of the MO River.... LOL

[fujiyama]

42. Would you have liked them to have lost to Detroit instead?

I was looking forward to the Tigers chewing up two NY teams!

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

44. I would rather be in the World Series

and given a small chance to win than not be in it at all and have absolutely no chance.

[Broken_Hero]

2. Sorry...:(

But it was a hell of a series...Tigers/Cards...whoever would have thought?

[bigwillq]

3. That homer stunned me.

I can't believe the Mets lost.

:( and this is coming from a Yankees fan.

NY love though. I was rooting for them.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

6. I'm a Yankees fan, too.

Once the Yankees were out, I had to root for the other New York team though.

[bigwillq]

10. Me too.

NY all the way.

Now I have to go for the AL team. Guess I'll be rooting for the Tigers.

[ComerPerro]

14. glad it was Molina, I like him

[Fuzz]

5. I have no interest in the World Series now

:(

Good game though.

Edit:

And you CAN'T look at strike 3 with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth!!!!!!!!!!

[ComerPerro]

17. You and most of America. This was the worst for the media, lol

last year, Sox and Astros, had terrible ratings, worse than the 2000 Subway Series

[ncrainbowgrrl]

79. Yep. I predict absolutely poor ratings for this world series.

i'd be really surprised if i'm wrong on that one...

[Shakespeare]

7. Sorry about that, haruka.

I totally feel your pain. :-(

[GOPisEvil]

9. As happy as I am being a lifelong Cardinals fan, I've been there.

So I know how you feel. :pals:

[michreject]

49. Replay of the 68 series

Go Tigers.

[alcibiades_mystery]

18. Congrats to the Cardinals

They took seven games to beat 1/3 of the Mets rotation.

Of course, the Mets have the worst "closer" in the game (Billy "Douchebag" Wagner), and their bats failed in this series. Beltran strikes out looking with the bases loaded in the 9th? That's fucking disgraceful.

Die hard Mets fan here. I watched game 6 (1986 WS) in my living room, with Shea visible from my window.

[Reverend_Smitty]

26. man, I was waiting for a Mookie Wilson moment

How did Beltran take strike 3? I'm sick to my stomach right now, wallowing in my own self-pity watching the post game report. But you couldn't ask for anything more from Perez, he pitched a hell of a game and Chavez made one of the greatest catches I've ever seen...will I ever see my Mets win it all

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. Bummer!!!!!!!!!!!!

:evilgrin:

[Captain Hilts]

27. They played great w/o their two top pitchers. Well done, boys! nt

[Red State Rebel]

68. Hey! Even your namesake was rooting for the Cardinals!

His stepson, Preston is a redbird!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

30. What the fuck was up with Beltran?

2 strikes, bases loaded, and you just let the ball go? SWING, damnit! If you missed or got caught out, at least you fucking tried!

[Oeditpus Rex]

32. Exactly — bases loaded

A walk means a run, so each ball is gold. If the pitch doesn't look good, you take it.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

33. Unless it was coming right at his face, he should have swung.

Hell, I almost never watch baseball, and this pissed me off. :mad:

[Oeditpus Rex]

34. I've been watching it since 1965

And one thing I've learned is ballplayers know a little more about baseball than fans.

[ComerPerro]

40. maybe you should trade him

[Bake]

63. Maybe the Mets got Diebolded ...

NOT!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! SUCK IT, METS!!

GO CARDS!!

Bake

[WildEyedLiberal]

36. WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cardinals in seven! The Tigers are rusty and their rookies are not World Series tested - this year is gonna be it. 2004 by rights SHOULD have been it, but the Red Sox were a freak of nature.

[Nye Bevan]

50. Congratulations, *but* I have to say this....

:cry:

[WildEyedLiberal]

73. Awww

I always feel bad for the fans of the team that doesn't win. I'm so bleeding heart, I never want anyone to lose.

Okay, that's a lie, I want the Cubs to lose because it's funny.

But I feel your pain. Usually it's me going :cry: in the postseason... yes, I know it all too well.

[Telly Savalas]

37. Party at that "Get a Brain, Morans!" guy's house!!!

[leftofthedial]

41. the difference between you and this Rockies fan

is that I get to say "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" every year in May.

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

43. Yadier Molina??????

How does Heilman give up a dong to Yadier effin' Molina???????

Why couldn't they score with the bases loaded and one out earlier?

AND WHY DIDN"T BELTRAN SWING????????? You can't just stand there in that situation.

This hurts. It sucks.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

45. Mets lost. Yankees already gone. This Boston fan is giddy.

:rofl::rofl:

:woohoo:

[alcibiades_mystery]

47. Typical loser Boston fans

With a team so sucky you root for others to lose long after you're gone.

Sad, really.

[Captain Hilts]

53. Actually, a LOT of folks root for Mets AND Sox, both hate the Yanks. nt

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

65. And when exactly was your team gone?

Oh wait, before any of the far superior NY teams were gone.

[ComerPerro]

81. about your shirt...

It might not be 86 years before your next one, but until things really change, it will be at least 5 or 10.

Get rid of Torre

[LostinVA]

48. Is that like hockey or something?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

52. No, it's something better.

[LostinVA]

55. Better than blood bouncing on ice???

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

56. Aside from the fights, I'm not into hockey.

Anyway, I can just watch boxing or some MMA and not have that pesky hockey in the way of the fights.

[LostinVA]

57. I have my boxing thingie on Tuesday

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

58. Did you buy your pink gloves yet?

[LostinVA]

59. No -- I have some different ones on special order

They have little "Hello Kittys" on them.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

60. Even better.

You've gotta admit, wearing Hello Kitty gloves might psych out your opponent.

[LostinVA]

61. They totally would!

Pink gloves with little Hello Kittys all over them...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

64. Nah, just one big Hello Kitty over each knuckle.

[edbermac]

51. You gotta bereave!!!!

:7

[Jamastiene]

54. That's what I said.

If they Yanks couldn't go, I was going to be nice and pull for the Mets to go. Besides, at the end there, it looked like they could win it after all. I hated that ending they had last night.

[SteppingRazor]

62. Alas, Haruka, we have to disagree on this one....

LET'S GO CARDS!!!!!

[MrCoffee]

75. SteppingRazor, is that you???

:rofl: :hi:

[SteppingRazor]

77. Mr Coffee is that you???

:evilgrin:

[MrCoffee]

80. i'll begin my penance now...

I repent! Anything but the ruthless efficiency!

[Benfea]

66. That's nothing.

• Someone made a live action Scooby Doo movie.
  
  
• Rob Schneider has a movie career.
  
  
• There exists a live action Pokemon musical.
  
  
• A live action Transformers movie is going to be released soon.
  
  
• Country and western music exists.

Compared to all of that, is a Mets loss really so depressing?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

67. What's wrong with country & western music?

As for the others, yes it is.

[Benfea]

69. I am terrified that you would ask that.

Could you kindly stay on THAT side of the room?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

70. No. I don't think it's catching anyway.

[Benfea]

71. Oh good!

My condolences to you and your family, though.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

72. I also listen to rock, rap, showtunes, classical, electronica, opera.

I have a wide range of musical tastes.

[kwassa]

74. GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! eat up those little birdies.

[Taverner]

76. Sorry to hear

All my dawgs are out of the race (Cubs, Giants, A's) tho I'll probably lean Cards due to LaRussa.

[ComerPerro]

82. You must not be a Cubs Fan first, then, lol

I don't know any Cubs fan who would ever, in any concievable situation, say, "I will root for the Cardinals".


Hell, last year was a bitch for them. It was either root for the hated Astros, or root for the White Sox...


LOL

[MrCoffee]

83. how do you think i feel?

do i root for the Cardinals (the very thought sends ice water down my spine) or do i root for the friggin AL team?

my brains are exploding.

[ComerPerro]

86. Sox fan, Tigers are division rivals, but I am still staying with AL

so, If you're like me, you'll suck it up and root for the Cardinals rather than back some godless AL team, with their DH and all

[MrCoffee]

88. they are infidels and unworthy to play any NL team...but it's the cards.

i'm so torn.

[Taverner]

84. The ONLY ONLY ONLY reason I root for the Cards is LaRussa

I was a big fan of him in the 90's when he ran the A's show.

[ComerPerro]

85. Is it A's first, then?

[Taverner]

89. Nope...it's a tie between Giants and Cubs

And I switched to the Giants after the A's fucked LaRussa over so badly back in the late 90's...it's been a while for me to come back...

Kind of like how I will still never forgive the Raiders for leaving Oakland.

[ComerPerro]

90. but, but, they're back

[Taverner]

91. Yeah yeah yeah Prodigal sons return

Fuck the tRaiders.

[ComerPerro]

92. that's always been my philosophy

fuck the Raiders

[WildEyedLiberal]

93. It was hilarious watching all the Cubs fans implode on campus

It was fun rooting for the White Sox last year and watching all the Cubs fans piss about how much the Sox "still suck" even after they swept the Stros.

[MrCoffee]

94. You wanna talk sweep? Let's talk 2004.

Try not to suck so bad again this year.

[WildEyedLiberal]

104. You can't exactly talk about sucking

Cardinals - 9 World Series victories, 17 appearances

Astros - 1 World Series appearance, 1 sweep

I could care less about the White Sox - I just rooted for them because I knew a Sox victory would piss Cubs fans off more. I dislike the Astros, I dislike the Yankees, but Christ on a crutch I hate the Cubs. I would root for ANY team no questions asked against the Cubs.

[MrCoffee]

106. i know, i just like talking trash. which sucks for me,

because, being an Astros fan, i got nothing to back it up with.

Go Texans!

[WildEyedLiberal]

109. Hahaha

Um... you could be a Cowboys fan... GO T.O.!!!!

:hide:

:evilgrin:

[ComerPerro]

111. some of them are so mired in failure that it borders on insanity

[tigereye]

78. it was very sad.

I'm a closet Mets fan from Pa. (partially cuz my Pirates have been in the dumper for eons.)

I feel for you all. It was hard to watch all those folks in the stands....


and my son and husband were rooting for the Cards. Sigh.

[NewWaveChick1981]

95. Imagine my disappointment in finding out this is NOT a sex thread.

:cry:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

96. I'm sorry.

:hug:

I like sports almost as much as I like sex. Anyway, I'm trying to be good and not get any threads locked.

O8)

[NewWaveChick1981]

97. Oh, ok....

:) You're forgiven, then. :P

[MrCoffee]

98. BWAH!

too funny.

[NewWaveChick1981]

99. ...

:rofl: :hi:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

100. I know.

She's such a perv.

:rofl:

[NewWaveChick1981]

101. Takes one to know one...

:rofl: :evilgrin:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

103. Point taken.

Anyway, I consider that a compliment, just like I know you do.

:rofl::evilgrin:

[NewWaveChick1981]

105. But of course...

:rofl: :evilgrin:

[MrCoffee]

102. so who you gonna root for now?

stick with the NL, or defect to the dark side of the AL?

i'm an Astros fan, so i hate the mets and the cards. but i'm a baseball fan, so i hate the AL. talk about a dilemma.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

107. Actually, I'm a Yankees fan, but once they were out, I had to root for

the other NY team.

At this point, I'm just going to root for nobody. Instead, I will bitch that it's interfering with my Fox shows.

[MrCoffee]

108. so you don't like baseball, then. the AL and the Yankees?

this thread was started by a baseball poseur.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

110. Not a poseur, just a bitter fan.

I do admit I'm a much bigger football fan though. I'll definitely continue watching football even after the Giants are out.

[calico1]

112. Hey, it's okay.

The Mets and Cards were just competing for who gets to get their ass kicked by the Tigers. :)
