The World Series Is Gonna Suck!

[MrCoffee]

I have to choose between the cardinals (my god, the cardinals?!?) and the Tigers (my god, the AL?!?)

damn damn damn!

Go 'Stros!

[WildEyedLiberal]

1. Ew, an Astros fan!

:P

[MrCoffee]

3. ew, a Cardinals fan...

this is my all-time favorite picture. soooo perfect! :hi: :rofl:

[WildEyedLiberal]

8. OMG, I hope I see him at a Cardinals game someday

I think I would laugh for the entire 3 and a half hours.

[Initech]

2. At least it's not a Yankees - Mets series!

Thank you Jesus, Buddha, Muhammed, Allah, Krishna, thank every fucking god in the book!

[qnr]

4. Gee, the world just would have ended apparently. n/t

[Initech]

9. I remember before playoffs started

that sports writers across the country were literally frothing at the mouth over the possibility of another Subway Series. Hell, I bet even Bud Selig himself is pissed that it didnt happen!

[qnr]

12. Well, I have no interest in sports, but the idea that a panoply of gods

needs to be thanked for it not happening seems a little strange.

[MrCoffee]

13. the baseball gods must be appeased...spring training is fast approaching

[qnr]

14. Ah! Must sacrifice some virgin cottons! :) n/t

[bif]

5. No shit! Go Tigers!

[Initech]

10. Finally, a team I WANT to win it is in for once!

Hated the White Sox last year, didnt care much for Boston and only rooted for the Marlins because they were playing the Yankees (and my home team, the Angels in '02, well that was a whole different story...) . Go Tigers! They're clearly the underdog in this series and have been since the playoffs started.

[MrCoffee]

7. there *are* worse things than a Cards -Tigers series...

lol

[tigereye]

30. yes, anything involving Atlanta or the Yankees...

[underpants]

6. Daaah BEARS

11. Narrow it down... Cheer for Magglio!!!

He deserves it so!

[bigwillq]

15. I will be cheering for the Tigers!

Keep it in the AL! :bounce: :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. You Bet!!!

:bounce: :toast: :loveya: The players are stopping by Cheli's chili ( a restaurant across the street from Comerica Park) to talk with fans and give out autographs. They are a great group of guys!

[KamaAina]

16. Worst. Series. Ever.

The two combatants backed into the playoffs with a combined record over their last 50 games of 41-59. The Tigers (19-31) have the worst record over the last 50 of ANY team ever to make the postseason -- and the Cards (22-28) are second. Zzzzzzzzzzz.

Did I mention the Cards nearly allowed the Houston Enrons to sleaze in ahead of them, complete with Babs "This is working out nicely for them" Bush behind home plate?! Go, uh, Tigers, I guess. Meanwhile there are lots of cool cable channels I haven't checked out, like the Style Channel, the Golf Channel...

[MrCoffee]

17. you talk smack about the 'Stros? Be gone with you, heretic!

:hi:

[SteppingRazor]

19. It'll be worth it just to watch Pujols in a series.

He is, after all, the best player in the game today.

I'm admittedly biased -- I was going to college at U. of Missouri while McGwire was banging his way up to 70 HRs -- but I really would like to see a Cardinals win. After years of playoffs heartbreaks, they deserve it.

[KamaAina]

20. Wasn't Pujols already in a Series?

That's right. The year was 2004, and the Curse of the Bambino bit the dust, along with the Cards in four straight. As for Pujols, he went a quiet 5 for 15, without a single ribbie.

[Phillycat]

29. AMEN nt

[genie_weenie]

39. Wasn't Pujols already on Steriods?

I mean MLB sent some MIBs to StL to tell him he was hitting to many HRs early on and gave him a phantom hammie pull...

Anyway New York Teams suck and are bad for baseball.

[Throd]

25. What is all this talk about "Poo Holes"?

[GOPisEvil]

38. I have HAD IT with that.

It's disrepectful and juvenile.

[Strawman]

27. Yet the Tigers still won 95 games

Because they were 40 games over .500 in early August. Can't suck that bad and get to 40 over .500.

We actually get to watch two TEAMS and appreicate the players for their skill rather than being subjected to a bunch of New York, celebrity obsessed soap opera bullshit. Although it would have been fun, as well as a first, to beat the crap out of the Yankees and the Mets in the same playoff run.

I, for one, won't be bored when I'm catching Craig Monroe's series winning home run in the left field seats in Game 6!

Go Tigers!

[Zavulon]

18. At least your team, while eliminated, still exists.

Mine moved to Washington :mad:

[Radical Activist]

21. Cardinals are a classic world series team.

They belong there, it will be a great series to watch. This is a great way for St. Louis to break in their new stadium as well.

Houston sucks ass and so does any team from there.

[MrCoffee]

23. i'm not even gonna dignify that with a response.

except for this one. dammit, i dignified it! crap.

[KamaAina]

26. Hey! I only bashed 'em because of Babs Bush!

The city of Houston did a magnificent job sheltering over 100,000 Katrina evacuees. It's hardly their fault that FEMA bungling has left so many of them still there.

As for Babs and the 'Stros, if Babs were behind home plate at Trustafarian Stadium for the Kennebunkport Lobsters games, then I'd be talkin' smack about the Lobsters instead, so there. :-)

[buddhamama]

24. easy choice

go with the Tigers. That's who Mrs.G and WannaBe are backing. You don't want to upset either one of them, do you?!

[GOPisEvil]

36. To heck with them!

Go Cardinals!

[ceile]

28. Totally! Go 'Stros!!!

[MrCoffee]

31. finally, a voice of reason in this madhouse!

for you.

[ceile]

32. Thanks, Mr.C.

That's very sweet of you!
I just hope that the Cards get their butts handed to them. We'll get 'em next year....

[MrScorpio]

33. TIGERS, BABY!

[Faygo Kid]

34. DAMNED straight, my friend

I predict Mickey Lolich wins three again. And bring back Ernie Harwell. Go Get 'Em, Tigers!

[Oeditpus Rex]

35. McLain gonna lose two again?

After winning 31?

:toast:

[RedCloud]

37. It's payback time for '68

[NJ Democrats]

40. I agree

I was hoping for a Yankee-Mets series. But both are out, so I don't know who to root for.

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

41. Its gonna suck especially

because the Mets aren't in it.

I'm pulling for the Tigers. They eliminated the Republican Party of Baseball, aka They New York Yankees. They did America a great service.

[bif]

42. If Detroit's in it, it's not going to suck

You have my word on it. This series is going to kick ass. Period.
