I must agree. GO TIGERS!!!!!

It felt very cubby last night watching the mets.....so I lost again.... :(

But of course I'm with you...go Tigers....the two catchers are Puerto Rican but I'll stick with Pudge this time :rolleyes:

83-78.....Eighty FREAKIN' three and seventy eight!!! That's what the Cubs need to shoot for in '07. GO TIGERS!!!

GC, that depends on what the rest of the NL Central does this offseason. Among many other things.

Ha ha ha - you got that right.

Remember when everyone was so miffed that the Pads were going to the post season but were barely above 500? Guess that doesn't count when it's the flying red rats.

Go Tiggers!

those red rats are doing very well right now :angry:

reminds me of "six run cardinal lead" :lol:

Wahhhhhh...the Tigers are cheating. Kenny Rogers hands are dirty. Wah Wah Wah....

:cry: :cry: :cry:

That's all I've heard on the radio and TV today. And the Cardinal homers Buck and McCarver started all of it. Well at least they've got their built in excuse made early this time.

Didn't he wash his hands after the first or second inning? What's the excuse for 3-9?

According to Wayne Hagen on KMOX radio he figures he washed up and then started using a clear substance like vaseline for innings 2 thru 8. :blink:

It was clearly Pine tar on Rogers hand, but most players try to get a extra advantage here and there. It has been going since the beginning of baseball.

The Umps did not make a big deal out of it, because maybe Selig told them not to, to try to create contoversy, for a low rating World Series or LaRussa did not make a big a deal out of it, because his pitchers were doctoring the ball too and did not want a eye for a Eye incident. All around the Cardinals lost and you cannot take away Kenny Rogers great preformance last night. Even though he has never pitched like this ever in his carear.

I don't think LaRussa made a big deal out of it because Leyland's his buddy. That's his fault though, because there was definitely something on his hand. Had he requested that the umpires inspect Kenny "I Love TV Cameras" Rogers' hand, he could've possibly had Rogers thrown out of the game, and gone for the rest of the Series. What an advantage that would've been.

I'm not complaining though. :D

STL radio and TV are still whining and complaining about it enough. I was hoping Rogers would paint his hands brown and wave to the fans in STL before the start of game 3. :lol: And then give them the finger. :P

I could never root for the Cardinals.

Now that being said, I hate the DH even more.

Face it; the Cardinals are the best team in Baseball this year. It doesn't matter what happens in the WS. As long as the Junior League continues to us that gay ass DH rule they will merely be playing exhibition games.

not happy at all at this point.....puerto rico winter league, please go back to what it used to be :(

Pudge has been down 3 games to 1 before. :P

how could i forget???? :rolleyes:

SHlT

I'm sorry Joe. My wife is happy as heck, so that is my only solace in this crapfest of a season and WS. <_<

people...its the curse working overtime...first the white sox and now the redbirds....im only happy for molina who will play for the carolina giants, roberto clementes hometown, during winter league season.....

Yeah, most Cardinal fans are pretty happy. I have no reason why. October baseball is just an exhibition. I'm just glad my team never plays in October! :P

No baseball today, weird feeling always, the day after the last :(

World Series didn't feel like one. The week off wasn't good for Detroit and I felt it in my bones throughout the week. Their bodies naturally shut off till February. So many stupid errors in a World Series? Who would have thought??? <_<

St. Louis named most dangerous U.S. city
POSTED: 2:16 p.m. EST, October 30, 2006

ST. LOUIS, Missouri (AP) -- A surge in violence made St. Louis the most dangerous city in the country, leading a trend of violent crimes rising much faster in the Midwest than in the rest of nation, according to an annual list.

The city has long fared poorly in the rankings of the safest and most dangerous American cities compiled by Morgan Quitno Press. Violent crime surged nearly 20 percent in St. Louis from 2004 to last year, when the rate of such crimes rose most dramatically in the Midwest, according to FBI figures released in June.

"It's just sad the way this city is," resident Sam Dawson said. "On the news you hear killings, someone's been shot."

The ranking, being released Monday, came as the city was still celebrating Friday's World Series victory at the new Busch Stadium. St. Louis has been spending millions of dollars on urban renewal even as the crime rate climbs.

Mayor Francis Slay did not return calls to his office seeking comment Sunday.

Scott Morgan, president of Morgan Quitno Press, a private research and publishing company specializing in state and city reference books, said he was not surprised to see St. Louis top the list, since it has been among the 10 most dangerous cities for years.

The study looks at crime only within St. Louis city limits, with a population of about 330,000, Morgan said. It doesn't take into account the suburbs in St. Louis County, which has roughly 980,000 residents.

Visiting St. Louis on Thursday, FBI director Robert Mueller said it was too early to tell why some types of crime were rising faster in the Midwest.

Mueller said the FBI is working harder to form partnerships with police departments to launch programs like St. Louis' Safe Streets task force, which focuses police efforts on problematic neighborhoods.

The safest city in 2005 was Brick, New Jersey, with a population about 78,000, followed by Amherst, New York, and Mission Viejo, California, The second most dangerous city was Detroit, followed by Flint, Michigan, and Compton, California. (Map of cities on the list)

The bad news for St. Louis was good for Camden, New Jersey, which in 2005 was named the most dangerous city for the second year in a row.

Camden Mayor Gwendolyn Faison said Sunday she was thrilled to learn that her city no longer topped the most-dangerous list.

"You made my day!" said Faison, who has served since 2000. "There's a new hope and a new spirit."

Cities are ranked based on more than just their crime rate, Morgan said. Individual crimes such as rape or burglary are measured separately, compared to national averages and then compiled to give a city its ranking. Crimes are weighted based on their level of danger.

The national FBI figures released in June showed the murder rate in St. Louis jumped 16 percent from 2004 to 2005, compared with 4.8 percent nationally. The overall violent crime rate increased nearly 20 percent, compared with 2.5 percent nationally.

While crime increased in all regions last year, the 5.7 percent rise in the 12 Midwestern states was at least three times higher than any other region, according to the FBI.

OMG - How much coffee did the copy editor spit through his nose? The most violent city in the US is led by Mayor Slay! :lol:

To add a bit of irony to this story, the son of the owner of the company I work for (a Cardinal fan) went to St. Louis last Friday evening and was robbed at gunpoint downtown close to the ballpark. Way to celebrate Cards fans! :P
