Latinlawyer 2,294 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 The St. Loo Cards are about to win the WS. Can we stop now with the references of the NL as the minor leagues? It is about to recieve the crown of baseball...maybe that makes the AL the weaker sister? either way, baseball is decided by what is done in october....not in game 1-162. We may have sucked in the reg. season but the postseason is a diff. story. I hate the cards but you have to respect what they have done... LL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

faba 118,231 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Ridiculous to say the National League was so inferior to the American League or visa versa. The difference in DH first makes that comparison hard to make-as it makes managing a game so much different and the type of team you have to put together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bob 158,598 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Getting lucky in a series, once in a while, does not change that fact that, top to bottom, the AL is better than the NL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
faba 118,231 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 All I know is I saw all these predictions here Tigers were going to roll over the Cards-easy 4 or 5 games. No contest Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Funny how when the Yankees "get lucky" 26 times, they are all the ****, but when it is an NL team, it is just truly luck. Yankee fans a re a funny lot. They refuse to acknowledge that another team may be better than them. It is not in their blood. My 9 year old is like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shawn306 36,776 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Anbody who thinks the Cards have this thing wrapped up is wrong. IF and that is a big if the Tigers win tonight and this series heads back to Detroit this will go 7. basing an entire season on a 7 game series is ludicrous. The Cards got hot at the right time. This team was barely over 500. Sometimes the best team doesn't always win. The team though that gets hot at the right time usually does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How so? because they won the WS? no.. Because they have better stats? that doesnt transalate to better teams... St loo had less wins than Detroit St loo's regular season pitching was far worse than detroit St. loo 's only superstar was Pujols.... and guess what...St. loo is gonna win the WS. Stats dont mean crap LL NL wins the ws Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And, when they sit around talking baseball in 2010, the topic of conversation will always turn back to "Remebber how the AL won the Interleague title in 2006?" All teh kids will be bragging on it. Bob, did you ever stop and consider that the AL has a slight advantage in teh home parks with the DH? Did you ever look at how AL teams are constructed and how NL teams are constructed and see a difference? Now, that is not entirely the reason that the AL "won more games" this year. But I suggest that you think about You are a smart guy. You can figure it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stats also say that the Yanks were the best team from 2001- 2006 Who won the WS those years??? Stats mean nothing in october....only one stat counts ...WS win. October is where the payoff occurs. Reg season doesnt mean squat...you as a yank fan should know that best... Short series? as opposed to a long series? LL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barton 66,792 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 There are 16 teams in each league, not 1. A 7 game series between 1 team from each league doesnt prove anything. Just look at the complete beatdown the NL took in interleague play. Thats the complete 16 X 16 proof that the NL is garbage. The Cardinals might win the WS and I'll be happy, but they're 83 wins wouldnt have gotten them in the playoffs in the AL. That is a fact, and you cannot dismiss it.
