Steven Dilley Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 They'll get to the WS. But only to be stopped by the Sox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ron Johnson Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I have heard Yankees fans, conscious of the team's pitching deficiencies, say that the Cardinals will go all the way this year. Cardinals have extraordinary middle relief, relief, situational and closing pitchers, but the starters can be shaky, take Jason Marquis performance last night. However, with their offense* it allows for less than perfect pitching. *A lineup that rivals the Yankees: Womack Walker Rolens: 314 BA, 34 HR, 124 RBI's Pujols: 331 BA, 46 HR, 123 RBI's Edmonds: 301 BA, 42 HR, 111 RBI's Renteria Sanders Matheny There's no let-up in the line-up.

Stone Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 As a diehard Cardinals fan, I am rooting for the Yankees to win their penant. I cannot imagine a better World Series than Yankees/Cardinals. Two great teams (only ones in the majors with over 100 wins this year), two great managers (each have won World Series), great offenses, great fielding, both have storied traditions in American baseball. So much better than a Twins/Astros series. My Dad and all the family back in St. Louis are very excited about this possibility. I think they're in for a let down. Not as bad as Boston fans, but the problems is that Bostonians are much better equipped to deal with failure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beachfan Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Great pitching (almost) today, and great offense. I'm ready to see the end of Heredia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Melonious Thunk Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 If the Yanks can get 5-6 good innings from a starter and hit well, they will win. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liza Posted October 9, 2004 Author Share Posted October 9, 2004 Those five straight singles with two-outs reminded me of the Yankees of 1999. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ron Johnson Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I think they're in for a let down. Who do you think is going to beat the Cards? Houston? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liza Posted October 10, 2004 Author Share Posted October 10, 2004 Well that wasn't too difficult. Right, then. Let's bring on the Sox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beachfan Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Amazing how Sierra's matured, he's a class act now. BoSox fans seem pretty quiet. It's gonna be fun to have Pedro in the Bronx again. I can just envision it now; 53,000 New Yorkers chanting WHO'S YOUR DADDY!!! when he takes the mound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Melonious Thunk Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 One couldn't have scripted a more dramatic game. Almost perfect Moose. Almost comeback Sox. Clutch hitting Yanks. Mo on stage, after a family tragedy, shutting them down with the tying run on third. Wow!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
