Dude let it go. We get it...you hate the cardinals.

With that said, should be a good series. I feel the pitching matches up pretty well. the rangers offense is pretty dang deep but the cards have the bats to answer.

Weds can't come soon enough!

That's like telling a Yankees or Red Sox fan to let it go. The Cardinals are baseball's version of Alabama/Florida in my book. So... I'll be sure to let you know until the series is over how much I hate the Cardinals. :thumbsup:

How many home runs does Nelson Cruz have in the postseason?

Isn't the record 8?

Yeah, it's 8. Bonds and Beltran

Cruz has 6... he might be able to match but doubt he passes. Crazy that he has hit 6 after hitting 29 all year.

It's crazy the Cards have done all of this without their ace, basically.

Nah, Alabama is actually good.

Just saying... It's not like I've blatantly insulted the Cardinals or been derogatory. I've never said "We get it, you love the Cardinals". I minded my own business and have been respectful of the Cardinals and their fans. For whatever reason, you're now attacking the Astros because I hate the Cardinals. I know the Astros suck.. you don't have to tell me twice, or even once.

I've never faulted you for loving the Cardinals, so I'm not sure why you fault me for hating them.

It goes both ways...

Aaaah. That skews the numbers a bit

I wasn't accusing him of anything. Just thought he was having a breakout postseason. That definitely makes more sense though. Hopefully he can tie or break the record

If he could stay healthy I think he'd hit between 35-40 a year. He's hit some crazy long homers, and has some insane hot streaks throughout the year.

The last two years I think he's had 5 stints on the 15 day DL with hamstring/quad pulls.

2009: 33 HR in 128 games.
2010: 22 HR in 108 games.
2011: 29 HR in 124 games.

The cardinals aren't good? Lol ok.

See the difference is you don't see me posting in astros threads about how I much I hate them or how much of a cardinals fan I am. I post in the cardinals threads.

I haven't watched a single pitch of post-season baseball this year, this match-up will change nothing...I guess I want the Rangers to win since they have never won it.

Rangers in six. Can't say I'm rooting for either side, though. I guess I dislike St. Louis more than Texas.

There is a difference because this isn't a Cardinals thread. This is a World Series thread

That's the Cardinals thread... Official Thread of the 2006 World Champion St. Louis Cardinals

Feel free to post in the Astros thread. What do I care? That's what forums are for. I'll respond for you "I wouldn't waste my time because the Astros suck".

Again, me saying I hate the Cardinals is nothing. I've gotten along with the other Cardinals fans just fine. I have no ill will towards the fans, I just hate the franchise. It's not like I'm saying Lance Berkman is gay for Elvis or that Tony LaRussa is a drunk pos.

Sorry that I annoy you so much but I guess it is what is. I'm passionate about sports and as far as I'm concerned, I've expressed my dislike for the Cardinals in a respectful manner. I could say much worse things if I was trying to piss off and annoy Cardinals fans

Anyways... ready for this series. Astros are the only team I'm a fan of but I wouldn't mind seeing Nolan Ryan get a ring. Even if it is in the front office

Jealous? Are you jealous of Alabama?

Your second response isn't even worth responding to.

Not sure why we now have two Cardinals fans on their high horse and not sure what's so hard to grasp. I feel the same way about St. Louis(Cardinals) as Tennessee fans feel about any rival in the SEC. I for one am not jealous of Florida, Georgia or Kentucky. Are you?

Calling someone "jealous" for not liking something is lame. I've spent my whole life living 4 hours from St. Louis, if I wanted to be a fan, I would have been one. Far from jealous...

Because there is simply nothing to say. You explicitly stated that you could say something much worse to piss us off, so I'd love to see a sample. I'm not holding my breath.

The comparison with Tennessee and its rivals isn't exactly a great one, because Tennessee has a lot of success and tradition from which its fans can always draw. We're having a rough spot, but it's not like we've never experienced sustained success before. I mean, this is Tennessee, after all.

The same can't really be said for the Astros, so the fact that you've zeroed your hatred on the Cardinals says a lot. I mean, maybe you hate them as a divisional rival, but I doubt you hate the Cubs, Reds, Brewers and Pirates as much as you hate the Cardinals.
