Milkman delivers

Did anyone say the Sox lost the trade? Nobody's heard of a win-win? But unless the Sox or Blue Jays win a title with players received from this trade, the Cardinals won the most.

They basically split it down the middle in recent years. "Keep winning" my ass.

They won.

QUOTE (Pale Sox @ Oct 29, 2011 -> 12:43 AM) The constant need to single out winners and losers in trades is misguided. It's an incorrect way to go about analyzing a trade. The Cardinals did well, yes. To say they won is to say the other teams lost, which is incorrect. The Cardinals won the World Series. You can easily say they won the trade. Sorry.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 28, 2011 -> 11:14 PM) Oh I knew you were being sarcastic, Milkman, I just used your post to make my point to those who wouldn't take TLR for whatever retarded reason they came up with...sorry if you thought it was directed at you.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 28, 2011 -> 10:58 PM) He may be a dickwad but I couldn't give two s***s about that, he may overmanage sometimes but he is a proven winner, he has lead a 2006 and a 2011 Cardinals teams that were inferior on paper to the teams they beat. Arrogant asshole winner>>>>>>>>>gracious nice loser Obvious sarcasm.

Is Selig senile? He is 77. So I guess it would make sense that he'd need a cue card.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Oct 28, 2011 -> 10:44 PM) lol, really! 3 time World Champ or a guy who has never coached a game in his life? hmmmmm But you're forgetting that La Russa is a jerk!

When did Mozeliak take over as GM?

FREESE!

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 28, 2011 -> 10:30 PM) Seeing the Cards celebrate gave me goosebumps. That celebration didn't seem as spontaneous, though. It almost looked forced or something.

GIVE THE MVP TO FREESE!

Fantastic!

QUOTE (jwmann2 @ Oct 28, 2011 -> 09:53 PM) 5 years off of your life? You're a true fan. I can't believe it was 10 years ago that the Diamondbacks took the title. I'd say 5, at a minimum.

QUOTE (jwmann2 @ Oct 28, 2011 -> 09:51 PM) Not opened yet, huh? This bar will not open until opening day. No fan will be able to get a preview of it. If you want to see it, come to the ballpark. That's the mindset the Sox are in right now. Never been to the Cell and Im surprised a restaurant wasn't already standing. You've never been to the Cell? That explains why you're not aware that it opened last season.

QUOTE (jwmann2 @ Oct 28, 2011 -> 09:42 PM) It's pretty simple. You surround the organization with people that are passionate about the franchise. Mark Mcgwire is the hitting coach for the Cardinals. They are playing baseball tonight..... Frank Thomas was almost as good of a hitter as Mcgwire. Quite a few teams do that. They're not all in the World Series, though.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 28, 2011 -> 09:59 PM) Oh boy Welcome to about 10 years ago, apparently.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 28, 2011 -> 09:45 PM) Yep, he had been looking terrible in this series. Couldn't catch up to any fastballs. Massive kudos to Carpenter, who overcame his lack of stuff early in game to pitch a gem. Definitely. I thought it was going to be a barn burner after the first two innings.

QUOTE (juddling @ Oct 28, 2011 -> 09:37 PM) Little Giants was good and who knew that the Icebox would grow up to be pretty good looking. I haven't the time or energy to check the whole thread so i don't know what all has been mentioned already but i always have to stop and watch Tin Cup and the Replacements when they are on tv. I think The Replacements just missed my list.

Looks like Carpenter definitely doesn't have it. The offense is gonna have to step up. Good job, ace.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 28, 2011 -> 04:32 PM) Beer? Check. Dro? Check. Doritoes and Salsa? Check. Hot as f*** 19 year old college chick? Almost check. This shall be a fun night. Go Rangers. You dip Doritos in salsa?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 28, 2011 -> 05:30 PM) I don't care that it's not a costume. I'm posting that. That's pure awesome.

Wow, you have to go back to 2002 for the last 7-game World Series.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 28, 2011 -> 03:41 PM) Josh Hamilton says god told him he'd hit a home run yesterday. But also says that god said nothing about winning the game. This man and his horde of rabid fellators are making me root incredibly hard against the Rangers.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 28, 2011 -> 04:12 PM) Because he's already a nuclear irradiated mutant? That, and Kim Jong-il is obsessed with him. So, if they bring in the guy that your glorious leader deified, then you might be more inclined to go along with it. I'm only slightly serious.
