The 2006 Cardinals are the most pathetic World Champion of all time.

83 wins.

They beat a Mets team without their Ace and #3 starter.

Then they ruin a Cinderella Tigers season.

Ego maniac LaRussa is a disgrace to baseball and Italians.

I used to love watching McGuire when he was a power hitter at USC. If he was on steroids then, that's too bad. But to think that he should get into the Baseball Hall Of Fame on them...no way.

Roger Maris: Still the legit season home run king.
Hank Aaron: Always the legit career home run king.

In the Seattle Kingdome circa 1999 I saw McGuire hit a 99mph Randy Johnson fastball. It was just barely high, but right down the middle of the plate.

The HR was officially announced at 489ft...but thats where it went through the walkway on the 3rd level and into the passage that surrounded the Dome. That walkway was at least 75 feet above field level...and I have no doubt, had there been no obstruction, that ball would have flown 600ft.

It was the hardest hit ball I ever saw. Simply amazing.

Randy lost the game 1-0.

Tony Larussa just isn't very bright. He's a tree hugging vegetarian and if that doesn't tell you something, I don't know what would!

McGwire deserves the same disgrace and opprobrium currently heaped upon Barry Bonds. So do the rest of them. Sosa, etc.

NO HE DON'T, HE WAS A DRUGGIE.... CASE CLOSED.
