I was at game 4 of ALDS in Detroit - Amazing hard fought game. To me the Red Sox bullpen and Cabrera's health issues give the nod to the Sox in this series.

We're not all insufferable I'll take another Tigers/Cardinals series, though I'd like to have another crack at the Sox.

Yeah didn't know who to root for Cards or Pirates because I dislike them both. At least, Tony La Russa is retired, so I don't have to listen to broadcasters tell me how smart he is while he drags the game out for 4 hours. Also, glad the Pirates are gone. With the way their fans treated David Wright leading up to the All-Star game, I could never pull for them again. As if Pedro Alavarez is Babe Ruth...

Tigers win the series unless Ortiz drinks some more roid shakes. Sox don't deserve to make or win the World Series.

The Tigers won't be able to overcome "Muley" (mules are both stubborn and stupid--hence the appropriate nickname!) Leland's propensity to blow it. Plus, his Tiger teams are perpetually tight as a drum--its tough to play baseball when rigor mortis has set in. See the 2006 and 2012 losses to inferior teams.

Unfortunately, I've had a love/hate relationship with this team for many, many years, and will undoubtedly tune in on the big, high-def screen anyway!

Best to all,

Larry

I still haven't gotten over that phantom Infield Fly Rule a couple of years ago. Everytime I see it replayed, it looks like the "fix" was in. I know they have oodles of talent, an amazing farm system, and a great fan base... but the luck factor is always firmly on their side. Cardinals fans will disagree, but as a long-suffering Reds fan, I had to rant.

Serious question for you. The Reds have had some good teams recently, yet they struggle to draw fans. What's the deal?

I think it's because Cincinnati is predominately African-american. Baseball is not their #1 sport.

I think it's because they know the season will inevitably end in bitter disappointment? Plus it's a smaller market to draw from, a bit less affluent, and a disillusioned fan base? Their attendance isn't horrible.... Cincy typically falls in around the middle of the pack.

That said, I think St. Louis is one of the few markets remaining in which baseball is still bigger than football. Your fans have a leg up on just about every other town.... simply wonderful and knowledgeable fans.

As for today's game.... it was the passed ball by Ellis which allowed Freese to go to 3rd (and ultimatetly score on a sac fly, for the game's only run). Otherwise, no run would've scored. Cardinals are simply the masters of capitalizing on others' little mistakes.

Last night, Ellis would've scored the winning run, and although Beltran's throw beat him home, he was never actually tagged by Molina. The replay confirmed over and over that there was a collision (yet no tag). God, it must be great to be a Cardinals fan

The Cardinals have monster arms, gonna be tough to beat. I'd like to see Cards vs Tigers, but Game 1 in Boston is a must. Great post season this far.

No disrespect intended, perezfan, but how are Reds fans "long suffering"? At least you went to the Series, and won it all in 1990. Try being a Brewers fan. The last time Milwaukee celebrated a World Series win...I wasn't even born. And it was a different franchise.

And yes, I realize that a Cubs fan will be along shortly to tap me on the shoulder, saying "cry me a river. You think Brewers fans are long suffering? Come spend a day with me at Wrigley. A never-ending funeral marches around our hearts."

As for the playoffs, once the A's and Pirates went out, I lost all interest. I'll watch the Series because I'm a baseball fan, but if the Cardinals win it all again, I'll shove a fork in one of my eyes. I greatly respect the history of the franchise, and their fans are incredibly knowledgeable, but seeing them win it time and time again while my team comes out of the gate, and falls flat on their faces, just gets old. The Cardinals sport the nicest "Air Jordans" every year. The Brewers come out in their floppy shoes accompanied to the sounds of old car horns.

As we learned earlier in the thread, it's all luck. The Cardinals are the luckiest team going. They never have any bad breaks. They went from 1987 until 2004 without appearing in a WS, that's 17 years. IN 1985 they lost their leadoff hitter and NL Rookie of the Year Vince Coleman for the WS when a tarp rolled up on his ankle and he suffered some sort of ligament damage. Then in Game 6 of that series they were the recipients of a call at First Base that was every bit as bad as the "infield fly" call last year which most likely cost them the Series.

In the last 30 years they have been in the WS six times and are 3-3, must not of had much luck half the time.

Cry me a river. Go make your own luck. That's my rant.

The Cardinals are an incredibly well run organization. It's not a coincidence that Baseball America named St. Louis as having the best organizational talent in Major League Baseball prior to the 2013 season. They are great evaluators of young talent (I'd kill to have their scouts in Milwaukee), and they develop their players as well as any other franchise in the bigs.

As a Brewer fan, I now get to look forward to Oscar Taveras kicking our rear ends for the next 15 years. Oh joy, lol.

A 2004 rematch would be cool, except it would be nice if the Cards actually showed up this time....
