Look at me! I’m doing the Happy Dance! Just watch this white boy dance! Cards win 7-1! Yay!
[singing]
Cardinals swept the Braves
Cardinals swept the Braves!
[/singing]
A little more happy-dancing and then I’ll find some girl and get lucky to make this day as close to perfect as it can get.
[happy dancing some more]
And to tope off the Cardinals winning today, some genius changed 2sexy’s label from “member” to “TOO STUPID FOR WORDS”
What a great day this is shaping up to be.
Dear God, please continue working these great acts throughout the day, and when I get home please have dinner hot and waiting for me, served to me by Nicole Kidman wearing a thong and a smile. And on TV, please have it be re-runs of the Rams winning the Superbowl last year and every World Series game during the years when the Cards won.
Thank you.
Amen
Congratulations to the Cardinals. I hate the Braves, it’ll be nice to see some new faces in the playoffs, and I think it’s neat when the underdog wins (unless, of course, they’re playing the Yanks).
Now, I’m off to see the Rocket kick the shit outta Oakland.
Yo, UrbanShocker! Always nice to see a fellow Yankees fan.
I am now living about 4 hours from Atlanta, so everyone I work with is a Braves fan, and secretly hates me for loving a team that actually wins championships. I will hear endless crying on Monday, but it will be fun.
I’m glad that the Cards swept. I actually had a dream last week that the Cards and Yanks met in the Series this year. Sorry, CrunchyFrog, but in my dream the Yankees have now won 16 World Series games in a row.
BTW, I just watched most of that Ty Cobb movie on Fox, and I noticed that Clemens had a bit part as a pitcher.
:mad:
:mad:
:mad:
:mad:
But, of the teams that are left, I guess I will default to beign a Cardinal fan for the rest of the season. I have no argument to the fact that the C’s just whipped our ass, royally. It’s a good team, and I like Jim Edmonds and Will Clark.
Anything as long as the Muckin Fets or the Spankme’s don’t win the Series.
[sub]Although I do like 2sexy’s new designation[/sub]
Here’s to a Cards/M’s World Series. takes a long drink of horse piss Budweiser, which shares a hometown with the Cards
The two teams I picked in the World Series thread were the first two to be eliminated. Great.
JBirdman, gimme some of that Bud.
Gee…I wonder what Larry “chipper” Jones will be doing tomorrow? My guess is cleaning out his locker!!! Ya…hoo…I loved seeing him strike out and make a few key errors. The Braves dynasty has fallen! I really enjoyed seeing the team looking all sad on the bench.Aww…poor babies…“we lost homefield advantage…WAAH”.Tomahawk THIS Atlanta!!!
Oh…I forgot to say…and this is for you Mouthbreather.
“LETS GO METS!!!” Can you say Subway series?
Still a bit salty from when Chipper cleaned the mets fucking clock every time they played last year? Must be.
What dynasty would that be? Winning 9 staight division titles? Hmm, no, thats still in check. When the last time your Mucking Fets did that? Never? hmm. When was the last time a MLB team did that? Never? I thought so.
I already admitted that the Cardinals owned us in this series. You’re lucky, too. What is the record for when Braves/Mets series for the last, say… 3 or 4 years? I’ll let you check the stats. Gloat all you want to, big boy. The Mets would have fallen AGAIN this year, had there been a series in the playoffs.
Go Cardinals!
Go A’s!
(And before a NYY fan comes in here, I readily admit that we have been the Yankees bitch for the last few years. But the mets? pfft.)
And this is the most Serlin-like statement I’ve ever heard come out of someone who ISN’T Serlin.
Go Cardinals!! Woo woo woo!!
I don’t watch baseball too much, but I saw highlights of the game. It wasn’t the most exciting baseball game I’ve seen, but it was still good.
Braves Lose
[Bill Hicks voice]
Bwaaaahahahahahahaha!
[singing]
There is a God. He loves us all so much!
No if Oakland can finish off the Yankees I’ll die a happy man.
You do realize the Cards had homefield advantage in this series? I didn’t realize we were the underdogs. Now the Mets need to take out the Giants so we’ll have homefield advantage again.
And with Edmonds signed for 7 years, McGwire publicly stating he plans to retire as a Cardinal (so we’ll have him at least another 2 or 3 years), Vina, Renteria, Tatis, JD Drew, Kile, Benes, etc – all signed for the years to come.
Can you smell that, Braves fans? It’s a new dynasty in the NL.
My favorite part of the Series?
Spanking Tom Glavine for 7 runs inn less than 3 innings!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
[doing the happy dance again]
Nothing like being a bad winner after I’ve admitted that your team was better in the series. :rolleyes:
And , honestly, I’m not trying to shit on your parade, but I think your getting a bit overzealous right about now. Sure, McGwire is McGwire, and Jim Edmonds is the 2nd best CF in baseball (right behind Andruw :D). And Clark has shown himself (this year, anyway) to be a key player in the clutch.
And while the rest of the players you named are very good, they are certainly not unreplacable. And if the Braves need to give up being the perennial “bride’s maid” to someone else in the NL (which I don’t think they are) then I actually do hope that the Cardinals take over. But only time will tell.
says mouthbreather:
Right, like the spanking Glavine remark was directed at you. :rolleyes:
Ease up, mouthbreather, the Braves had a whole decade to be good, and I don’t see that ending any time soon with their pitching staff and lineup. The Cards haven’t been to the World Series since '87 and sweeping the Braves is a little exciting considering what they did to the Cards in '96. (For those who don’t know, the Cards were leading the Braves 3 games to 1 in the NLCS and the Braves came back to take it. I think they outscored the Cards 30-1 or something outrageous like that for the last three games of the series. Embarrassing.)
If you don’t like me being happy about this, stop reading the thread and take your sour grapes somewhere else.
Right now I’m excited. Next year I’ll take a reality check and realize Kile is the ace, Ankiel is good (but inexperienced), Stephenson may have been a fluke, and Hentgen and Benes are at best good players capable of winning 11 or 12 games. I realize our pitching staff is nothing along the lines of Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz. Of course, not all cities can have someone like Ted Turner own the team and buy all the players he wants for the championship.
As for the lineup - any player is replaceable. Will Clark proved that this year. But before you dismiss the Cards as the new dynasty (admittedly, this is all wishful thinking at this point, they’ve done nothing to prove their going to be consistantly good) here’s the talent on the team:
Big Mac (nuff said), Fernando Vina (IMO one of the best leadoff men in the business and excells at turning the double play), Edgar Renteria (All-Star quality), Fernando Tatis (injured himself this year, but had a 30/30 season last year, definitely an up-and-comer), Mike Matheny (not much at the plate, but the best defensive catcher we’ve had in a while), JD Drew (injured himself his rookie year, didn’t see as much playing time this year since LaRussa wants him too get some more experience before becoming the regular starter, getting better every day - not the next Mickey Mantle he is replaceable, but he’s still good), Jim Edmonds (career year this year batting ahead of Mac and Clark, has the edge over Mike Matheny for team MVP due to his offensive stats), and Ray Lankford (why don’t we trade this guy already?) So basically, Lankford and Drew wouldn’t be missed but the other players would be. 6 out of 8 ain’t bad.
If that is how the Rocket kicks the shit outta people I just have to say that it hurts so good.
Please sir, can we have more!

Let’s go A’s!
Let’s go A’s!
Let’s go A’s!
[/chant]
You got it, spoojy! Who would’ve ever figured the A’s would take the Yanks all the way to a fifth game in this series, uh?!? Obfusciatrist and I will BE there later today at the Network Coliseum (look for us in section 229, row 7).
Oh, and one more thing: We’re just STARTING our run up to the top with people like Tim Hudson and Miguel Tejada, who are barely old enough to buy booze. Yankee players may be great but aren’t they about ready to start drawing on Social Security?? 
…then maybe the NL has a chance at the WS…considering the Braves have fewer WS wins in the last 15 years than the TWINS
Baglady,
That ludicrous TV schedule helps you big time. The Yankee experience (read: old age) is going to work against them when they have to play 2 games starting 21 hours apart after flying 3000 miles. They may win: Pettitte is a good money game pitcher, but the travel hurts them more than you.
