Super User A-Jay Posted November 1, 2013 Super User Posted November 1, 2013 A-Jay wouldn't you had liked to have seen, a series ? I guess - as long as the out come was the same and no one got hurt. That Area really needed this and the way they got it was definitely an after thought. A-Jay Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted November 1, 2013 Author Super User Posted November 1, 2013 Because they are the BOSTON red socks and hate is probably too mild of a term. not a good enough explanation for me lol. I guess I just don't see it. as for series that was great.. Good clean hard baseball.. no brawls, they played they're tails off.. that's the kind of baseball I like to see.. Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted November 1, 2013 Author Super User Posted November 1, 2013 Im glad Boston won and for what A-jay said I 100% agree... they deserved it and the city needed Quote
grampa1114 Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 I hate the bosox, I wish the cards would have showed up. Well buddy those young pitchers that can throw 98-100 mph showed up and Beltran showed up and those middle infielders with the magic gloves were there most of the time......they are going to be unstoppable very soon.... I'm just glad we got to them first. And hate is a very very strong word. Quote
Missourifishin Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Being the NL Champions, and winning a couple of world series games qualifies as showing up in my book. The Cards were somewhat disappointing to me in the series, especially with how poorly they batted with runners in scoring position. But I'm still proud of my team. Just getting TO the world series is quite an accomplishment. I've kind of disliked the Sox ever since '04. But still, good for Boston and the fans. 1 Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted November 1, 2013 Super User Posted November 1, 2013 I hate the bosox, I wish the cards would have showed up. If both teams would have "showed up" and played to their full potential, the Red Sox still win it, sorry. 2 Quote

You Know, You're Completely Right - My previous statement about them not showing up was out of line. The 2013 St Louis Cardinals are a great Team & Organization that played the Game the Right Way. Throughout the entire series, I just kept waiting for them to explode. A-Jay 1 Quote

I'm just glad we got to them first. And hate is a very very strong word. The Cards are obviously a very good team, no doubt, but the play offs are a whole different (new) season in a sense. Hitting and especially the clutch hitting was seriously lacking. That aside, what the St. Louis Cardinals have been able to accomplish in their history for there size of market is commendable. Quote

The one that got away Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Because they are the BOSTON red socks and hate is probably too mild of a term. I can't tell if you hate Boston in general or the Red Sox specifically (or both), but whatever. The better team won. Enjoy the offseason. 1 Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted November 2, 2013 Super User Posted November 2, 2013 The sox played well for sure. Even though they bought their team pretty much in the offseason they still came together as a team nicely and it was hard to tell that last year was their first spring training together. The Cardinals are going to be good for a good long time and I am really glad they did well after dealing off the over rated, crybaby Pujols so he could watch from his couch this year. I think I am going to have to try and make it down to FL for spring training this year. Quote

And if I'm not mistaken, they got Wacha with the compensation pick they got for letting him go. Quote

And if I'm not mistaken, they got Wacha with the compensation pick they got for letting him go. yeah i think you are right. The cardinals have an incredibly bright future. I just wish i could say the same for the phillies even though i was pleased to see some of the young talent at the end of the season. Quote

In all seriousness, to bat .733 in the World Series, against the Cards pitchers(or any other MLB pitching) That man is THE man. Congrats to Ortiz. Quote

I just wish i could say the same for the phillies even though i was pleased to see some of the young talent at the end of the season. Agree, though they need to lose at least Freese, probably Kozma as well. Regardless of David Freese's past play, he's slipping and there are better options to be had for cheaper. Simplest way would be to put Carpenter back at 3B and play Wong at 2B. That won't fix the shortstop hole, so the Cards need to sign or trade for a decent shortstop. There's also Ryan Jackson in their farm system—he's a good fielder though he might not hit any better than Kozma, but he's young and he might learn to hit. Kozma's bat is probably never going to get any better, so let the younger player have a shot. Hopefully Oscar Taveras will be healthy in 2014 and will be able to start taking over in CF. Jay's fielding is fine, but his arm is terrible and his bat is gone. Hard to believe he was the Cardinal's leadoff hitter at one time and had a .300 average. Don't know if Taveras is a true CF, but he's worth a shot. If Beltran comes back for 2014, I'd think it might be a good idea to give him more rest days. Same with Allen Craig, though for different reasons; Craig seems to break easily and Beltran's not getting any younger. Splitting time between Craig and Beltran in RF and Craig and Adams at 1B would provide rest for Beltran and Craig and would get Adams' bat into the lineup a fair amount as well. If Beltran signs elsewhere this is a moot point. Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted November 2, 2013 Super User Posted November 2, 2013 My first chance to get back to this thread since the unfortunate ending to the series. I would agree that Boston deserved the win based on performance. Ortiz and company were something to see. Congratulations Red Sox Nation. The Cards are a great organization. We will continue to contend with homegrown talent, smart free agent acquisitions, and outstanding management. This is the second time in recent memory we didn't get it done against Boston. Let's do it again next year. 1 Quote

Super User K_Mac Posted November 3, 2013 Super User Posted November 3, 2013 By do it again, you mean lose in the series? I am in a very vulnerable frame of mind with my team having lost twice to a lesser squad. So no, I do not mean lose again. However, there are many teams that rarely get there-you know curses and whatnot-so if my choice is get there and lose or not get there at all, I'll take the former. Quote

Perhaps your vulnerability is misplaced on the lesser squad aspect of your thinking. You were BEATEN. Get over it. Quote
