DCM Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 Ummmm BF..... You are out of line calling the Yankees Chokees..... Your Cardinals were pathetic and didn't even show up...... I felt sorry for the fans who boasted about being the best team in baseball... Congrats to the Sox for a great post season....you can't take anything away from them.....but, they were primed for a WS letdown after beating the Yankees....any sort of effort would have pushed the series to 6-7 games. It was an absolute embarrassment to be swept like that.... Sox fans were laughing at that Cardinals pitching staff.....LaRussa looked like a manager in his first WS..... btw....you would think a team who looked like they were destined for a WS appearance might pick up a hitter who would do well in the DH role in the American league venue.....

No I'm not, they choked to the highest extent of choking. Would you disagree? "I felt sorry for the fans who boasted about being the best team in baseball..." Why? We don't even feel sorry for ourselves. We know we had a great season and a bad 4 game stretch to end it. We get to add another N.L Pennant to our long history. Do the Yankees? "Congrats to the Sox for a great post season....you can't take anything away from them.....but, they were primed for a WS letdown after beating the Yankees....any sort of effort would have pushed the series to 6-7 games." Did you watch the World Series? Seriously, did it look to you like Boston was flat for even ONE SECOND of the World Series? They were as hot as you could get. As far as "any sort of effort could have pushed it to 6 or 7 games" goes, you think these guys aren't trying? I'm sure they got there and decided they didn't want to put an effort into winning it. That statement is stupid. "Sox fans were laughing at that Cardinals pitching staff.....LaRussa looked like a manager in his first WS....." Dave Duncan and Tony have already stated they will be looking for a couple new quality pitchers this offseason. Matt Morris won't be resigned and Woody Williams will probably be gone or retire if we don't resign him after we decline his option. As far as Tony goes, I didn't think he managed all that well in the World Series, but he's not the one hitting the ball or running the bases or pitching. The players win games on the field. It's obvious he knows what he is doing, he's been to 4 World Series as a manager now. He's lost 3 but it's still tough to get there. Just ask Marv Levy. "btw....you would think a team who looked like they were destined for a WS appearance might pick up a hitter who would do well in the DH role in the American league venue" Not everyone has the budget NY and Boston do. An N.L team can't just go get a guy like Ortiz that can't play defense and sit him on the bench waiting for the World Series.
