A lot of memories .........

The St Louis Cardinals are the 2011 World Series Champions!

Congrats to the Cardinals and their fans. :-)

Against all odds, and with the full commentator forces aligned against such a win!!! Listening to the announcers at the front of the game, you'd think there was no use watching the game, because there was NO WAY St. Louis could win!!

GO CARDS!!!!! Way to hang in there and prevail!!
[Reply]

Your statement is so true. I think the announcers really believed it until after game 6 when one of them said "How did this happen?" That statement and the tone gave me goosebumbs.

So Tony LaRussa is going out on top. Retiring after 33 years.
[Reply]

Yup, just heard that as well. Rumors are all ready flying as to the replacement. Red Sox's ex manager on the top of the list.
[Reply]

Not sure who I want to see inherit LaRussa's post. :-)

The wife is rooting for Oquendo.

Even though he still has a year left on his contract, I would be trying to figure out a way to snag Maddon from the Rays.
[Reply]

This smells of Pujols leaving.
[Reply]

No really?
[Reply]

I figured Francona would land in STL, but after hearing that Quade got canned today, he'll probably re-unite with Epstein in Chicago.

Belated congratulations to the Cards for their 2011 Championship.



Brian Cashman has announced that the Yankees' off-season concerns are pitching, pitching, pitching, and that he has no interest in trying to improve their offense as he sees it as being sufficient already.

To me, this means Pujols in Pinstripes as DH next year. :-)
[Reply]

Pujols in the DH role spells his death nail to me. As much as I hate the Cards right now (b/c of the Reds rivalry from 2010) I cannot wish Albert to end that way (in the dh spot). I don't want to see him end up like Dunn. He needs to be a position player, and hopefully he'll stay in STL.
[Reply]

It's more than a little confusing where he might go. Not so much on how tight it has been kept but what kind of person Pujols is. If it's for the money (which I doubt it is) I see the reason being to donate most of it to the charities he supports. The only other side I can see is if he really and truly loves baseball the best bet would be to go to the stud farm in the role of a DH in his later years. If he has to leave St Louis I would like to see him go to the Cubs.

As far as the Reds go....:-) I might be going to the Reds St Louis game in April while I'm at my parents house near Louisville.
[Reply]

I wonder how the St. Louis fans would react to that?
[Reply]

I'm jealous. I've yet to go to a Reds game at GABP. I need to make the trip sometime in the near future.
[Reply]

Definitely plan on coming up this year. We can meet up and have a great time! :-)

RIP Bob Forsch. Only 61 years old ... some of you may have seen him throw out the first pitch for game 7 last week.

Pitched for the Cards from 1974-88. Right hander with a record of 163-127 and a 3.67 career ERA with the Cards.

He is remembered most as the only St Louis pitcher to ever throw 2 no-hitters. I remember him best as a competitor ... sort of a Chris Carpenter of his day. In addition to being a gritty pitcher, he could also handle the bat ... won 2 Silver Slugger awards.

As Ozzie says ... heaven just got a new starter.
