When Lord ?? When's it gonna be my time ?
I keep asking myself when are we gonna win the series. We had a couple of can't miss " we the best team in the majors" seasons. We looked like a team on the upswing that couldn't miss. Then we ran into Boston when it should have been our time. Then we ran into Houston. The only solace I can take from tonight is that the closer Houston gets to staying alive I know the sweeter it will be when we slam the door on their toes. We got the division even if we don't get home field advantage. We will make it to the post season even if we don't have the Mvp or the Cy young. Who cares ? If we won a hundred games and Carp got the Cy young and Albert the Mvp and we didn't win the series isn't everything else a consolation prize ?(i.e last year) Well, we did that so now it's time to upset everybody and come out of know where and win it all in a blaze of glory. So I'm not worried and nobody else is cause right now the only thing that matters is winning a few more games before we start on the road to history. Here we go on a fantastic voyage so buckle up because even though it may be a bumpy ride were coming back with the Title.

Got a few things right... :-)

You called it?

I called it on August 16th!

Are they going to make the playoffs? I'd say yeah, but probably only by default, since the rest of the NL is just flat out terrible.

Are they a World Series caliber team? Well, if the `04 squad wasn't good enough to win it all, I don't see how this team possibly could be.

But here's the catch: Maybe, just maybe, come October, Cardinal Nation's hopes will be rewarded. I'm not saying it will happen, but every year there is some stupid fucking storyline for a team in the World Series; be it the 2005 Astros who had been left for dead in the regular season or the 2004 Red Sox who had been left for dead in the ALCS; or the overachieving Marlins in '03 and Angels in '02.

That's the rub: That if this struggling Cards squad could put it all together at the right time, get all of their pistons firing and get hot, they could very well make a run to the Series. And it would be right in FOX's wheelhouse.

It would be that stupid fucking storyline that the rest of the country gets sick of by the second day.

That could be us, Cards fans... Annoying the whole lot of America!

So, um... Go Cardinals!

Cheers
