I love it, all this mention of how you Yankees fans want to whip the Cardinals, blah blah blah........
I can smell the fear coming from NYC.
Don't worry, IF you get past the Sox you will get your wish, careful what you have been wishing for though.
How is that an excuse??? It's just simple fact.
They didn't beat us at our best.
We also swept them at Minute Maid Park in APRIL, does that mean we have the upper hand?
That's FINE with me, let these big city losers battle it out for the championship of each other, we are battling for the World Title.........
Just because the networks suck the Yankees d@#k$ doesn't mean that people don't care.
Nope, there wouldn't be one most likely unless something really dramatic happened like the 1985 series. I don't B word about balls and strikes.
Of course I'm certain that we are great, we had the best record in baseball and won our first round series. The is no reason I shouldn't feel confident is there?
I won't dispute your pick of the Astros, but mentioning their sweep of us isn't fair because we had clinched the division over a week before that.
We weren't playing for anything and a good portion of our starters weren't playing.
Trust me, I'm plenty aware of the Astros players and their talents. See unlike Yankees fans we respect our rivalries with the Astros and Cubs.
NO MATTER WHO wins the NLCS, they are my pick in the World Series.
If the Stros are good enough to beat us in the NLCS then they are good enough to win it all, period.
I have to laugh. You guys getting hyped up over the consilation prize of finishing second place. Glad you fans in NY and Boston are happy finishing second, because that's what is going to happen.
Good for the Astros.........but it's the end of the line for them.
Get your World Series 2004 tickets Saturday morning at the Busch Stadium Box office for games 3,4, and 5.
Someone actually has to WANT to trade for him before you can do that.
I'm not sure there is much of a market for a guy getting 33 yards on 12 carries who has a fetish for underage females.
