I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The Cardinals.  Get it?

No.

These guys:



and these guys:



Are both called Cardinals.  Since PW said it was an epic battle between good and evil, and in Tim's mind the obvious evil are the Cardinals, he was making a joke about that being anti-Catholic bigotry.  Yuk yuk.

Fenway to collapse and bury both teams in the rubble?

:lol:  Seems like the only people who hate the Cardinals are fans of other teams on the NL Central.

Still trying to figure out if my father in law & brothers in law are going to go full retard like they did in the 2004 WS and root for the Red Sox.  Because, you know, my father in law attended a trade show in Boston when they won the ALCS that year :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'm making no predictions on the outcome, but I'm pretty stoked to have a starting lineup that includes both Allen Craig and Matt Adams.  For once I'm happy about the DH.

So will this be a replay of the 1967 World Series or the 2004 World Series? :hmm:

Can't be like the 1946 World Series with all these minorities around being able to play and stuff.

Cardinals had like 4 Hall of Famers on that 1967 team-- 5 if you count the manager.

Personally, I'm just glad the Cardinals made it through this far, and I would think it's good for baseball to finally have the two best teams (in terms of season record) matched up.  As long as they don't get swept like 2004, It will be hard to get too disappointed.  Having a recent WS title kind of helps cushion most disappointment.

That said, I really would like to see the Giants-Cards-Giants-Cards pattern in the history books :D

FREEP just reported it:  http://www.freep.com/article/20131021/SPORTS02/310210075/detroit-tigers-jim-leyland

It's too bad he never won the World Series in Detroit (he had in Miami), but given the team he took over in 2006 it's amazing that he made it to the playoffs, much less the World Series.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Meh.  From my POV, not so much Evil vs Evil as Evil vs Boring.
