World Series Predictions

[Spinner1]

As a lot of us were saying, this series should be over in six or less........

Cards look good, but that really shouldn't shock anybody that has been watching the playoffs. What I can't believe is all the fielding errors by the Tiger pitchers. Setting the new series record in game four is unbelievable.

What can I say guys??? Somebody pinch me please, the nightmare of a regular season collapse is forgotten. Eck, Scotty, Yadi, Miles, Wilson (nice defensive sliding catch and clutch 2 out rbi to give them there first lead) and the Whip (Adam Wainright) all deserve a game ball. If Weaver can give us what he did in Game 2 the Budweiser will taste oh so sweet. I can't wait for tonight! The fans deserve this after the sweep of 2004. It's our turn to do the deed at home. What a game last night. If I'm Tony were bunting at there pitchers every chance we got, I mean what the heck you might as well keep going to the well if here gonna keep giving up that kind of charity. I think it's a mistake to go with Verlander tonight they should go with Rogers he's a seasoned Vet that could give there staff a big boost with a game 5 win going back to Detroit, will see how she plays but it will be rabid in St. Louis tonight if they can get the game in, checking the weather babe next.

I know, I know - it's the same for everybody.

But I really despise bad weather having any kind of impact.

All I can say is that the Tigers look like the Twins when we played the A's!! Sloppy as can be!! The bottom line is that Detroit is giving this series away and St. Louis will gladly accept the gift.

Anybody hear from Backherup?? aka... Andyman???? Maybe he can slap some detroit wisdom down on us.

I just read this from ESPN:

ST. LOUIS -- To the tens of baseball fans who are watching the lowest-rated World Series in history , hang in there. It's almost over.

Only nine innings and one more victory separate the St. Louis Cardinals from their first World Series championship since 1982 ... and the Detroit Tigers from a long, painful offseason of watching Tom Emanski instructional fielding videos. And if the expected downpours take a breather, that championship could come as early as Friday evening.

Tigers are pitching well enough to win. Can't believe the bad play in the field. It's like they've never been in a World Series before . All we gotta do is play better, and continue to pitch. We won seven in a row, against some pretty good teams, to get here. Some of the Cards "timely" hits were on balls not played well by Tiger defenders. Good to see some bats show up last night.

Go Tigers.

[genegodawa]

Optimism reigns supreme (just a little pun on the weather).

[CNY Tim]

The guys whom care about ratings are the guys that have never played the game.

They lather over Dodgers/Red Sox or San Franciso Giants/ Yankees and Barry Bonds and TO and the freaking Philadeplhia Eagles and the dallas cowboys and Basketball which I HATE! It's just baseball ESPN! Two teams that deserve to be there, get over the ratings and do your job without the snippy blubbering comments!

Congrats to your Cards Tim. The NL WS streak starts at one.

[buzzsaw]

Congrats !!!

[RJ]

The team that caught it, threw it, and hit it better than the other won it. That's the way it should be. I'll tip a couple of cold Buds to the Cards.

I've enjoyed this forum the past couple months. Thanks for letting me in.

Once again RJ is classy! Your good for these forums.

[genegodawa]

Congrats Tim. Got 2 good friends from Central Ill. that are HUGE Card fans like you and they are probably on cloud 9 too.

Now for next year, I wonder what it'll mean for the winning team in the All-Star game since HomeField doesn't seem to matter anymore?

I gotta say this was a great season for all of us having had the chance to yack it up together. Thanks guys.

Now on to football and hockey....

[CNY Tim]

RJ is one classy guy that's for sure and the rest of you better be nice to him because I am coming out and selecting them to be back in the world series again next year right after they get a full spring training of PFP they will be ready

Thanks again fellas - I am gonna check in here every day like I have been since I decided to moderate the zoo we have here. Enjoy your off seasons and I will be busy in the New York Forum as usual. Good luck with your fall sports teams as well.
